    "I don't know, it's the number they gave me"

    Focused.

    I never knew that fans cared so much about player numbers. Now I know better, for better or worse.

Amongst our weaponry... are such elements as fear, surpr...****, I'll come in again.

    Sorry, I just watched a bunch of highlights of my favorite college defensive players ever....

    Will is on the list.

    Dat Nguyen
    Steve Emtman (closest thing to Ray Childress I've ever seen)
    Derrick Brooks (better than Ray Lewis, come at me....oh **** no don't)
    Ndamukong Suh

    It was fascinating to watch the Alabama DC switch up how they used Will after that monster SOPH season. The wiseguy tried to line up Will in a 2 or 3 technique way too often. It got him fired for it too. Hopefully DeMeco will allow Will to run free as a true edge and play to his strengths.

    not sure if this has been posted. Also not sure how accurate this guy is (I won’t pretend to understand linemen plays and schemes) but if seems like a pretty unbiased and educated breakdown of why Anderson could be insane. If Demeco got his Bosa we are in for a treat.

    Will Anderson tells Adele she should land on Area 51 and promises her 15 sacks. Set the fire to the rain young man.

    Arizona: "So ju got the moneys?"

    Nick: "Ju got the stuff?"

    Arizona: "Sure I has the stuff but I don't have it here with me now. I got it close by"

    Nick: "I don't have the money either. I got it close by too."

    same vibes

    I still think Nick gave up too much! The Cardinals GM said they would ASK for 104 AND a 2024 1st.....I feel Nick didn't bother to counter offer, he just said YES!!

    Caserio has talked about his/ Texans side of the trade. The parameters were already place earlier in the day…also these clips, while intriguing, are edited to make the GM in focus look like the wizard of negotiations.

    100% this. They both admitted that they had framework discussions already. You can see in the call, that there were negotiations with Indy for a trade up as well. This definitely makes it look like Caserio took what was thrown out there, but I don't think that's the case... the Cardinals knew they were negotiating from a position of leverage...
