Didnt Fretwell get hurt?
He did, he was 2nd team by default basically due to roster churn IMO until we signed this kid from Texas.
Now we have 3 options at LT and 3 IOL guys who will compete with whoever loses the LT job IMO.
Based on what weve seen from the staff so far they'll throw a bunch of stuff at the wall and see what sticks, but I think theyd rather have guards who move like tackles in space than guards playing tackle by necessity like we saw early last year.
Gotta get rid of all the slow feet on the OL.

6'8 345 is pretty massive. Anyone have background on him?

I don’t think we’ll sign any more starter quality LB, staff seems to really like Jones and QB and a couple incoming freshman have some potential position versatility
Im not saying they cant end up solid, but on paper that would be our worst ILB group going into next season since well back into the Shula era.

At what point will folks on this board will come here to apologize for talking shite about the OL line and how they had no faith ?
In the immortal words of Winston Wolf lets not start jer.... well lets just wait to see it play out in the fall.
Something like this going into camp?
LT: Lloyd / Haywood
LG: Sanders / Strayhorn / Delgatty
C: Waldrep / Strayhorn / Delgatty
RG: Haywood / Lloyd / Poe
RT: Carroll / Fretwell

This is a great addition, good work staff.
Another guy who opens up flexibility elsewhere too because if he locks up C you have Strayhorn to compete at guard and vice versa.

Still trying to understand the fundamental difference between prostitution and the girls in college who would only date the trust fund guys.
If a marriage occurs purely as a result of one party providing access to large amounts of money and the other sex exactly how is that not a legal form of prostitution? It’s just normalized based on accepted cultural traditions.

Step 1: setup federal aid programs for illegals
Step 2: establish businesses and non profits to take advantage of federal aid
Step 3: make sure only people who are down with the cause are allowed to profit
Step 4: redirect a large portion of the proceeds to do payoffs and fund political campaigns and causes via cutouts
Step 5: takeover the entire city then state by using the proceeds to crush anyone who speaks out

Telling you, that Kentucky game next year might be a much better game than we would think based on their record last year.
They've completely rebuilt that offense in one portal cycle.

Again, I'm an advocate of maintaining control of strategic staging bases. My point is we don't need to prop up and support EU/NATO/WEF agendas to do that.
*IF* Greenland is of the utmost defensive strategic importance we should own it and make it a protectorate, not beg Denmark to let us land what we need there.
We can project power without Ramstein for instance, we just need to be thoughtful as to what our needs are relative to a new strategic defense and power projection mindset, changing tech landscape and shifting political agendas and alliances.

You didn’t read the thread
You allude to the need to prestage supplies.
We dont need full access to all NATO bases to stage supplies globally.
We merely need select base access in key areas of strategic interest to be able to preposition troops and thats assuming we really feel the need to be able to continue to invade random nations within 48 hours without clear goals or incentives which I obviously don't believe we should continue doing.

No the war were paying for and providing strategic "advisors" in all facets of warfare but definitely not fighting in at all.
The US has provided somewhere in the neighborhood of $65B since 2022 to help them fight their war in terms of money and military supplies.
Exactly how many billions of dollars do we have to give a nation before it becomes a proxy war in your world?

Based on all that they would be paying more than the NFL 1.1 draft pick would receive in year one.
We are no longer talking about a minor league football environment.
$10M for a player puts CFB potentially as a true competitor for even top tier football prospects if that number is true.
I mean Bray Hubbard is probably making more at Bama next year than he would've as a 3rd round draft pick so is it really that crazy?

Still can’t believe Dottery is the same guy who got booted out of Clemson for being a pervert in the shower.
He should have to knock on the neighbors doors in the dorm to let them know a sex offender is living there.

You forgot to explain why we need to protect Europe on a permanent basis at our own expense in terms of how that benefits you or me.
As I see it the only possible benefit to maintaining the status quo with the WEF era EU is to ensure the stability of the petro dollar with reserve currency status.
Outside of that I see very little in common with them culturally, socially or fiscally with them moving forward and as a result there’s no reason to defend them at our own expense by positioning troops there outside of a specific mutually beneficial circumstance.

Having assets in Europe is called being prepared.
If there is no cost to gaining and maintaining something obviously you want to control as many strategic bases to project power as possible.
However in a world of scarcity resources should only be allocated based on an objective ROI analysis and a solid grasp of how they align to your current and future strategic goals.
Because of the cost to achieve access to those bases and maintain our presence there I think many of our current deployments are unnecessary.
I suspect I’d need to understand what your strategic goals are to see how the allocation of resources to our current alliances would be effect that outcome.
Ultimately it seems likely that our disagreement stems from a fundamental difference in thought as far as what Pax Americana should mean going forward.
I want to see a future defined by MAGA/AF global strategic outcomes, but I’m interested to understand how you see things.

That’s a fair concern.
It’s also fair to point out that if we weren’t constantly playing world cop in the Middle East for Israel, bailing Europe out of wars for the last century and tilting at windmills for neocon globalists we wouldn’t need to deploy US troops and spend our money for zero ROI.
Taking it further, it’s worth pointing out that many of those NATO bases would immediately be closed by the host nations without America staffing and help to pay for them because they have neither the will or current military capability to effectively man them absent our armed forces.
Unfortunately for them as they’re fully extended due to social welfare programs as they import more and more net takers and shutdown their manufacturing base due to global warming concerns they have no ability to take on the void that we would leave as their welfare addicted population won’t allow austerity cuts to reallocate spend to a military buildup.
