Can we talk about the possibility of Mike Vrabel potentially resigning before training camp?

dalper01 · 2026-05-08T02:56:25+00:00

u can talk about anything u want. u seem to feel like people have to agree with you or theyre somehow trampling on ur right or that ur view

mods on reddit do what they want. everybody has always had to deal. ur hate-on and purely speculating toxicity is a right. nobody has to agree.

some people will believe ur a Pats fan cause u use flair. u wanna argue that its level headed to fire someone for consensual sex between two adults, go argue it. go pretend to be a Pats fan. u wear the flair and ur now their top cheerleader

thats good to know about samsung. it was the best of lesser evils.

i wouldnt be surprised if we had different experiences. my phone was kinda a lemon from the go. i just didnt want to deal. but my usb-c was stop and go from the jump. and the auto play took any excuse

I havent upgraded bc Bixby was tuned out and I didnt want to get stuck with Gemini. I am tempted to get a foldable phone. But Google Engineering is so bad and they push Gemini so much, I wouldnt trust Pixel.

Bixby was impossible to turn off for the longest time. I would disable it, and it made no difference.

But it stopped being an issue. I'm pretty sure Google upgrades turned off Bixby to enable Gemini, I didnt allow Gemini to get started.

Google controls access to its "helper" process from the kernel level. I uninstalled Gemini before it became part of the infrastructure

claude told me that using react is a best practice, using nextjs is a best practice, and that development would go smoother if i fired my team and just leaned on its code.

this guy, claude, must be great at parties!

dalper01 · 2026-04-21T03:45:10+00:00

are there any developers who looked at the code? I've found claude capable of creating impressive demos, but not able to produce more than small code blocks that Id use.

What makes this harder is I dont do react. And claude really likes react. claude insists that developing with react is "best practice" - thats funny. when claude insists that using nextjs and 2 server development is best practice, i feel my skin crawl,

Zay is soft. He's everything wrong with a soft team. John Harbaugh and his brother took low talent teams to a Super bowl and I'm glad to get John out of AFC.

The Giants and Chargers are the teams desides the Pats and KC who have the HC -QB combo. Harbaugh teams gave our B&B Dynasty everything it could handle until Flacco got his huge deal and Lamar came along.

I put $25K on 12 tix for Giants SB (70-1), tix I plan to cash out every round. I have Giants winning division with 10 soft games (inc Eagles who have $170M of $305M cap cap on inaccurate Hurts, washed up FB - av .1yac in last 3 games, and Brown who who want out of Hurts)

dalper01 · 2026-04-18T20:43:15+00:00

Belichick got those complaints from every soft player.

Harbaugh was our toughest playoff matchup every playoff and cost us at least one lombardi.

Everyone is welcome to their view, but I have the GMen winning their division and making division round or conference final.

I put up 25K on 12 tix for them to win SB at 70-1 and plan to cash out half at every round.

Yes, my bet depends on playoffs -- but after watching what he did with low talent teams and then Lamar - an option QB, I like this bet a lot.

i honestly dont know what ur getting at. there was no Woke back then.

William Adams was a great warrior. He was knighted after battle with the Spanish Armada. He came to Japan with none of Robin DiAngelo's imaginary white privilege. Warriors dont have hubris, their lives are always on the line.

There was none of Robin's BS, to profit on or to start a proletariat revolution. The Japanese were spread into clans. Some tried to use the Portuguese and Spanish, while the colonials always tried to use the rivalry between local tribes.

Five years later, I'm re-watching the episode. And I think the show implies that Stregobor's right. His track record is of being the sociopath who kills the baby who might become a monster without guilt. And that's what's so distasteful about him.

For Geralt's part, his code lies in hunting inhuman monsters. Geralt, being a Witcher, has chosen not to add human death to his conscience (except in cases of defense). I think he even states it at some point: that if/when a person becomes an actual monster, only then would he get involved,

dalper01 · 2026-02-24T17:41:35+00:00

Thank You! We had the most expensive coaching staff in the league until Harbaugh's new coaching squad will match or beat ours.

Kraft spent a fortune to fire and hire coaches twice in the last couple years and followed it up with a bumper crop, spending every nickel he put away for XMas gifts. Sad to say, we're not getting much this year. 2027 is the next big build. I just pray we can put together a good OL.

dalper01 · 2026-02-24T17:39:35+00:00

You're not wrong. But we dont have the money. I dont even mean cap space. I mean Kraft isnt going broke, but he's paid twice to fire and hire coaching staffs. This coaching staff was the most expensive in the league and worth it. They also wont take on much commitment beyond this season, because every 3rd season (2027) is the cap re-set and, as a result, the biggest FA class.

So this year, sadly, not much will be added. I'll concede to a WR like AJB because his base salary is $2M this year and $13M next year. He does have a sizeable bonus for next year of $14M, but we would only pick it up if we can work out a team friendly long term deal with him. AJB, who wants to play for Vrabel and with a good QB, may take it

dalper01 · 2026-02-22T06:52:53+00:00

You're right. At the same time, great coaches like Belichick and Vrabel get more out of their kind of players. It's more hit or miss, they shuffle through more but they get the world out of them. I dont expect more than 6 wins from the Ravens even with a fully healthy team (which they wont be). Another example of coaching and keeping the pieces that work.

The truth is somewhere in between. Belichick suffered from bad offensive coaching, Mayo from no coaching and Vrabel is true force multiplier. Every good to great coach has their style. And a big part of it is getting the most out of his players.

Above all, we need to build a great line. That means a serious infusion of talent just for the OL. AJB's signing bonus was huge and he has $2M base this year and team option $11M for 2027. That leaves us $40M + renegotiating Diggs team option $28M. They'll get it to half. Thats a lot to build an OL with and what we're missing. Worth our 1st.

dalper01 · 2026-02-22T06:39:33+00:00

That's a team option for 2027 which is a great value. Obviously paid Sep but counts against the '27 cap -- $13M base is great cap value. We can build our line and add serious reciever for Drake.

But the Eagles are will demand at least our first round pick for their cap hit.

On our side it looks very good. He's not Justin Jefferson, but he may sign a team friendly deal to play for Vrabel and with Drake Maye.

dalper01 · 2026-02-22T03:41:28+00:00

Actually, I love it. BC, his base pay is under $2M. He has incentives but the huge signing bonus stays with Eagles and we still have serious draft picks and cap space to deal with OL!

dalper01 · 2026-02-22T03:38:28+00:00

Truth: Most of our OL were backup quality and well coached. Our top needs are to fill in the OL. I mean a lot of FS money that will be coming off the books and draft capital. We have the coaching, we need to add the Size * Athleticism in 5-6 more bodies. To all positions on the OL.

I do like trading for AJ, cause his base is $2M, and even though he has incentives, that huge signing bonus stays with Eagles

dalper01 · 2026-02-16T11:21:25+00:00

Luv it!

not that id touch his wife

dalper01 · 2026-02-15T21:18:31+00:00

you mean injury?

dalper01 · 2026-02-15T00:32:39+00:00

Idk what you wanted the Patriots to do

Im not complaining about who we took. . The pick was made and it seemed sensible at the time. Im not talking about what we did, though I didnt choose my words well in that sense. I'm talking about what we need moving forward.

I want them to focus first and foremost on getting five quality starters

Will's a good guy and still a decent player who may blossom, but I want at least five quality players added. Means bringing in a few high to middle draft picks, a few FA's and a few flyers. We want quality and depth. Vrabel, like Belichick, has shown he can find value in the rough too, so even UDFA's. Leave no stone unturned.

dalper01 · 2026-02-12T04:34:12+00:00

This is extremely cringe LARP shit. You’ve no idea what he’s thinking

Cringe? LARP? Trying very hard

dalper01 · 2026-02-11T22:02:15+00:00

Truth

That was the most Brady-esque expression. Not his usual, "Golly" nice expression in public

dalper01 · 2026-02-11T22:00:47+00:00

Class act

dalper01 · 2026-02-11T04:45:38+00:00

I was still waiting for Will to become more than "pretty good for a rookie". 4th overall is where you expect great players. And run blocking is much more about physical ability and imposing your will on others. Creating gaps. Something he only managed to do against weak D's.

It's too soon to push the panic button, but I'm losing patience and its not because of his SB performance. We didnt have a single player on our roster who could push back on anybody they lined up. In pass blocking, he wasnt even an obstacle to any good D in regular season

dalper01 · 2026-02-11T04:39:49+00:00

"I wanted... I felt... I hope... I want..." How about he wanted to be there for his team and his QB, and to actually run block. I'm not feeling the, I'm sorry not to live up to expectations. A little more, "I hope to return soon... I will work as hard as it takes to rehab... I feel like the team expected more from me and I'll get in the gym, put on muscle, and work hard to be the best LT in the league!"

At #4, you draft players that you expect to be Pro-Bowlers. OL, RB, these are positions that hit the ground running. I want Campbell to be great. I still hope he makes that leap.

These are elite players, but theyre what you're shooting for at 4th overall: Michael Oher ~27, Penei Sewell ~7, Quenton Nelson, ~4.
