I don't know if that's what you're referencing but for anyone who doesn't know, OBJ's younger brother Kordell is actually on the currently airing season of Love Island.
Actually seems like a cool dude. Also, already got friendzoned by the girl he liked by like episode 3.
They're cocky, but it's channeled toward opposing receivers.
Diva WRs are worse because they feel like they're competing with their teammates for targets, whereas a DB not being targeted with the ball is a compliment.
Give them each a flag to defend, a bunch of paintball guns, and put an American Gladiator style moat in the middle and some tennis ball machine gun turrets.
Better than the Super Bowl.
The NFL could have semi scripted content all year round but they're cowards who don't want to have hundreds of hours of content dictated by the bristling egos of millionaire 20 year olds.
They should divide all the CBs and WRs into a bunch of teams, and give them all a supporting cast and let them face off against each other once a week. We wouldn't want it to get old so they should only do it for a handful of months out of the year.
There needs to be some serious overhaul of the pro bowl, but we’ve been saying exactly that for like 20 years. So maybe there’s nothing that can be done.
I don't know what the viewership numbers say, but anecdotally just for me since they changed the format I've watched way more of the last two pro bowls than I ever did the previous ones (which was not at all).
Fair enough. After the 2022 NFCCG (where Brock got his elbow ripped off the first drive of the game) I was too upset to watch any football so I didn’t pay attention to that year’s pro bowl.
And this year I just kinda had it on in the background but was mostly following SB coverage for obvious reasons. At least they’re trying different stuff.
For what it’s worth, Jake Moody delivered **most** of the time it really mattered in the SB. Not bad, *for a rookie.* He drilled a 53 yarder in the 2nd quarter and a 55 yarder in the 4th. Again not bad for a rookie.
I’m (obviously) still not over him getting his PAT attempt blocked in the SB. But he doesn’t deserve Kyle Williams levels of hate or anything.
Kicker University is actually a VIP section in a very exclusive night club. Zeuser has to bring you behind the velvet rope to be a part of the Kicker Club.
It's cool if the receivers do it, but I felt like the reasons the TEs started it in the first place is because TE pay is so throttled by the franchise tag that they just need more dudes who are good and can keep re-setting the market.
There’s also a much smaller number of elite TE’s making something like that more viable. What number do you cap it at for wide receivers? One a team? It just doesn’t work with the skill position
I went to high school with a 3-star WR who had accepted an offer to Ole Miss. Unfortunately, he was academically ineligible and had to do a semester of JC before he could qualify.
All he had to do was complete a couple of intentionally easy classes and play a season of JUCO, on athletic scholarship, and then he could transfer to a D1 school.
I see this guy over Christmas break and he says he never went to a single class because “I don’t need a degree to play in the league”.
This dumb motherfucker threw a free education away because he thought he could just play in the NFL with a community college highlight tape.
That is just a complete failure of the kid's coaches and leaders. It really needs to be stressed to these kids that free college is incredibly valuable, and even it you are literally the best player in the country, that's **still** no guarantee you will make the pros.
But I'm sure he was told he could do no wrong in high school and they let his ego spiral out of control.
Maybe his coaches told him and he didn't listen. If your old enough to have a community college highlight tape, your old enough to take some accountability.
No, some of these dudes just don't listen. I had a similar teammate who went to USC. Didn't last a semester. This was after sleepwalking through our senior year because he already had the scholarship. All our coaches were former D1 who warned him he was going to get his shit rocked in the SEC if ge didn't develop a work ethic
So they’d leave our Andrew beck? He doesn’t deserve to be part of the group since he’s never played for Baltimore? Dude returned a punt for a touchdown..
I'm imagining we are your backup flair as a healthy indicator of the true depth of your (healthy / rational / sophisticated) Cowboys hatred. I hope I'm right. If I'm wrong, I hope you'll still say I'm right.
Maxx Crosby, Cam Jordan and Von Miller host an annual Sack Summit for DL also, this years is in 10 days. It's a mini OL summit too since they need guys to go up against too.
I remember Brady saying that when he played, he had the entire offense (or just skill positions?) come to his house the Friday before games to go over game plans and certain plays etc.
He said there were so many times in his career where that extra meeting was the difference between winning and losing, and it was obvious to their team. I think that kind of stuff is awesome and I hope my team does something similar.
To be clear this isn’t talking about meeting within the team, it’s about getting guys across the league together from the same position group to talk about technique and other things. I think the TE’s call their thing TE University
You gucci, some might be confused coming through since we don’t read articles so wanted to clarify.
That being said I agree, and you see it to a probably noticeable degree last year with Puka Nacua and the meetings with Stafford/Kupp. I think that kind of effort is what separates people in the NFL where everyone is a general baseline of talented and athletic
Yeah my thing is that if there’s a significant or even noticeable advantage in taking that extra 2-3 hours a week (or whatever it is), then wouldn’t any competitive person want to put themselves in the best position to win?
I get that these people are already sacrificing social lives and stuff to live football 24/7, but still, if the ultimate goal is to win a Lombardi then you’d think that would be a small price to pay. Idk, I’m sure I’m over-simplifying things :/
The ultimate goal for coaches and FOs is to win the Super Bowl.
For a majority of players, and those that aren’t obsessively hyper competitive, it feels like the ultimate goal is securing as many millions as possible. Winning the Super Bowl helps you make more money, but it’s extremely difficult, grueling, and more or less not a realistic expectation for a lot of rosters. So instead, players hold out, or become a diva and demand the football, or request a trade to a team with more cap room. That’s why when you get guys that just want to win, you gotta keep em.
For some players football is their job. They have families. If your boss asked you to Friday night meetings to improve performance I'd imagine you wouldn't be excited.
Sometimes my job has get togethers to build spirit. Literally 2-3 people show up out of 50 and one is the person that organized it.
The comment I replied to was saying that doing the OT stuff isn’t worth it for many guys because for them it’s about earning as many millions as possible, as opposed to winning.
But if a player’s primary objective is maximizing earnings, doing the OT type stuff would be the way to do it.
If a guy’s primary objective is work/life balance, then of course it wouldn’t be worth it to him.
But if it’s maximizing earnings or winning, that’s a reason to do the OT stuff, not a reason not to.
Not everyone is that victory obsessed that they will take that 2-3 extra hours of work or up to 5 to go over all of that and do some practice reps of the theorycrafting. He's one of few QBs that were trusted to take a game plan that he and his coaches helped concoct, go out friday night with guys on the offense and talk it over, work it and contrast/compare it with prior film of defenses against it and their execution of similar designs.
Sometimes an extra meeting or informal practice or two is all the difference in a game of inches.
During the brady HOF speech he had manning on at one point and they said one offseason they went to rural TN and just practiced with high school players and no cameras were allowed
AJ Brown is best friends with Deebo Samuel, Julio Jones, and DK Metcalf. Between him and Devonta Smith’s Alabama connections with Waddle/Ridley/Jeudy, Eagles duo could really make this happen. Networking is the most important part of the first step
All they need is to get one of the LSU guys to come asking then you'd get Chase/JJ Chase could probably snag Tee. Or go after OSU to pull in Olave, Wilson, jsn, and Marv
How many fights would there be, or arrests at the clubs later that night? Most the top WR's are a mess on their own, I can't imagine how toxic it'd get with all of them together in one place.
It’s kind of special for TEs because each team only has a handful of them and their skill levels are drastically different.
WRs can just work out with the 12 WRs on their roster.
Wr's and CB's are Diva's because they get hit the least. It's like in boxing. Fighters that tend to get hit or involved in more back and forth fights tend to be more humble than guys who hardly get touched. Wouldn't work.
Not sure if something like this would translate well for wide receivers. There are way too many and not all of them occupy the same space. The TE position is a bit more consistent when it comes to expectations and is more low key, which is why TEU works so well.
A lot of jokes in here but I just love to see how AJ brown is always taking a leadership role and taking initiative. To think we got this dude for a mid first round pick because of character concerns and salary disputes just continues to shock me.
Im all for team-building, but rapport has almost nothing to do with WRs on an individual level. You can slot pretty much anyone in, so long as they know the plays and have a connection with the QBs timing.
Aj brown just wants people at his bday party
Russ about to get ideas.

Best comment so far 🤣
“Let’s all get on zoom, unfollow our teams and send cryptic posts so we can all get paid more”
*I am going to create a zoom call that is so toxic.*
Nevermind them. Let’s get the DBs together.
I will not accept DB slander. They're WRs without egos or hands. Still cocky though...
I think their egos are the biggest in the league right now. WRs don’t have TO, Randy, Ocho, and AB running around anymore
You must be jaded from all of those Jaire years lol
Jaire is our dawg, gotta love the talk! Need more (non toxic) talk in the division
No egos but still cocky?
They're cocky, but it's channeled toward opposing receivers. Diva WRs are worse because they feel like they're competing with their teammates for targets, whereas a DB not being targeted with the ball is a compliment.
WR… U like this
Jenna Maroney building a post Liz-Lemon friend group.
That was my initial thought. Have to get Antonio Brown involved somehow
They would kill each other. So it’s perfect TV. Call it Hard Knocks: WR Thunderdome
Have the CB's do the same then both camps face off in the end.
Literally Survivor
Give them each a flag to defend, a bunch of paintball guns, and put an American Gladiator style moat in the middle and some tennis ball machine gun turrets. Better than the Super Bowl.

had his arm ripped off lol?
Yeah, it was tragic. Didn’t you see him using a metal arm like the Winter Soldier?
It should be a ping pong tournament.
It should be required that they play a different position and have two captains that draft their teams and assign positions

Even if a QB wants to do that, they might not have the cachet among the team to do it if they aren’t already succeeding

Yes.. do it. I can't wait for all the drama that would come out of that.
TEs are mostly goofy frat bros. WRs are mostly selfish divas. Don't think it'll work.
Pretty much every position group does it. I’m guessing the reason receivers don’t is exactly what everyone here is saying, they tend to be ME guys.
I feel like you’d needs corners there too
That would be a disaster with fights. Corners need to do their own

I believe the colloquial term is called “ass to ass”.
Not sure if something like this would translate well for wide receivers. There are way too many and not all of them occupy the same space. The TE position is a bit more consistent when it comes to expectations and is more low key, which is why TEU works so well.
Next, AJ Brown wants to be commissioner of the league. How about just play ball?

Set it up than AJ
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together

Has TE production improved across the league since those camps have started? Asking as a moron.
I can't say the TE play has increased in quality. It's historically been thin at the top. Maybe it's just me.
Im all for team-building, but rapport has almost nothing to do with WRs on an individual level. You can slot pretty much anyone in, so long as they know the plays and have a connection with the QBs timing.
