Quote:The thing that has always gotten to me about that site and their following is that they just seem ... "unprofessional". I can get banter and trash talk while at a sports bar and there's already enough of it on the web. Can someone just act like a damn grown up when it comes to sports?!?!
Quote:Three reasons why I don't visit BCC:
1) The writing is awful (maybe it's the editor in me).
2) The lack of proper citations/credit
3) The writing is awful
The thing is, they are very unprofessional and "wanna be" journalists. The few "articles" that I've been exposed to are nothing more than a regurgitation of tweets by real journalists. There is no original thought or opinion backed up by credible sources other than "tweets" from real journalists.
The fact that the original website name is blocked by the filter on this board should be a clue.

Devils advocate: the abbreviation for "free agent right tackle" is blocked also, so the bar's not very high, but your point stands.
Oops. I just free agent right tackl-ed.

Not quite, though I did have to create a Players & Officials Only Party shortly thereafter.

Looking at the #'s, I was quite shocked to see how productive our pass rush was last year when you combine hurries and sacks. It's smart to combine both #'s as sacks aren't everything, the old saying goes sacks end drives while hurries (theoretically) lead to interceptions, another one is "disruption is production". This defensive line was quite disruptive last year if you factor in both #'s, with Dante Fowler (surprisingly) combining for a total of 24 sack/hurries. Given he only played 570 snaps that number is quite impressive, especially considering he was essentially a rookie returning from an ACL.
Now this is not to say the Jaguars shouldn't target a player like JPP in feee agency, but (given this data) I wouldn't be shocked if we don't make signing an edge rusher a focal point. I expect our FA priorities in the following order;
1. OG- targets include Kevin Zeitler, TJ Lang, Ronald Leary, and possibly Larry Warford
2. CB- targets include AJ Bouye, Trumaine Johnson, Stephen Gilmore, Logan Ryan, Morris Claiborne, Prince Amukamara
3. RT- targets include Rick Wagner (the Jags should make signing him a priority as he's a clear upgrade over JP)
4. Edge- targets include JPP, Mario Addison, Nick Perry, and Jabaal Sheard.
Added one in there for ya.

I had no idea that Bilbo Baggins was into sports writing to begin with.
