Yeah, I'm talking about his playing weight. The big knock on Manning was that teams didn't know if he would be able to put on weight to be a consistent edge rusher. He tried playing bigger last year at NCSt. and for whatever reason couldn't. If he played 10 pounds heavier he is probably drafted in the second. I don't know how much more motivation you'll get than that.

He's not going to be playing on the edge at ILB.

I don't think it's a bad idea to move him to Safety especially since we're weak there, by the way. But Im just saying he's right in the range where he needs to be anyway, especially since our team is trying to get a bit speedier.

After seeing Hawk in coverage last year, we're going to want an ILB who can hang with TEs and can tackle (although that applies to a safety as well obviously). A lighter ILB who's good in coverage is just what we needed, as long as we bulk up at DL which I think we did. But I can definitely see him being used around the field in different ways.

Police are apparently telling TMZ that Junior Seau is dead.

Nothing confirmed, but geez I hope it isn't true.

The problem is he is terrible in coverage, which is why I am saying he will be moved to a SS position and be used essentially as a comer be it on the edge or not. He's really only viable in coverage as a QB spy and maybe covering a slow TE.

Also, I don't know that he is too light or heavy, that's a meaningless number. I'm just saying it seems he fell to the Packers because of size concerns and that will probably use him in interesting ways, at least at first.

TMZ is unfortunately fairly reliable with this kind of stuff.

 

[yankeehater]

Well there were some anonymous quotes put out, but other devs have basically said that it's superior.
I mean, it's not gonna be a jump like this gen was.
But it's not gonna be like the Wii was, where they take a system they already had, increase the clockspeed, add a few functions, increase the ram and call it a day.
And we don't really know which dev kit they had at the time, also the middleware wasn't optimized for the system which I think was part of the reason for some of the "on par" quotes.
But there is one thing for sure, there WILL be games that look better than current gen.

I was just surprised to see quotes like that since i thought conole makers usually go overboard on dev kit specs. i really hope the wiiu kills it in every way. i want a 2d zelda for it so bad.

 

[I H8 Memes]

TMZ is one of the places that is always right about this stuff. They pay good money to get these scoops. Crazy if true.

 

[eznark]

When I saw there was a "shooting" at Seau's house I figured someone was making a Belicheat joke. I never even considered it was an actual shooting...

 

[tuna on toast]

Regardless of their actual worth on the team, all this shit is going to mess up that Saints locker room so bad.

No it won't.

 

[ActStriker]

Nothing confirmed, but geez I hope it isn't true.

What the hell?

 

[Nightz]

People claiming that Seau committed suicide. Crazy.

 

[Striker]

TMZ is saying he's dead from a gunshot wound. WTF

People claiming that Seau committed suicide. Crazy.

Wasn't he battling depression several years ago?

 

[yankeehater]

I really hope that isnt true. Seau was such a great player.

 

[eznark]

Did Seau have any concussion history?

 

[jmdajr]

Damn

 

[TheLegendary]

What a shame.

 

[eznark]

Wait, Seau is the one who tried to kill himself after beating up his wife a couple years back, right?

 

[Kastrioti]

Very depressing way to start the day. Really hope its not true.

 

[cashman]

shit confirmed

http://www.tmz.com/2012/05/02/junior-seau-dead/

RIP Junior

Where to you live?

 

[yankeehater]

Man that is so depressing.

 

[snesfreak]

Damn...

 

[LJ11]

Did Seau have any concussion history?

I'm sure he had more than his share.

Second ex-NFLer to off himself in the last couple of weeks.

 

[yankeehater]

The NFL needs to either start offering some kind of depression counseling to players, or drastically increase what they do offer.

 

[Kastrioti]

Where to you live?

Los Angeles. Start work at 12, slept in today.

Fucking shame about Seau. Dude was a legend in the San Diego area (and NFL in general).

 

[nateeasy]

Is it a suspected suicide?

 

[Wellington]

Holy crap. Rest in peace Seau.

 

[Fox318]

I can't believe what happened to Seau.

 

[ActStriker]

RIP

 

[eznark]

The NFL needs to either start offering some kind of depression counseling to players, or drastically increase what they do offer.

What? Why? Seau made tens of millions of dollars, it's his responsibility to get counseling. The NFL isn't a lifetime babysitting service.

 

[BigAT]

Wow, that Seau news is really shitty. Only 43 and he had three kids.

 

[squicken]

Why is the assumption a suicide? I'm not seeing anything other than innuendoin the TMZ story.

 

[I H8 Memes]

I'm sure he had more than his share.

Second ex-NFLer to off himself in the last couple of weeks.

Who was the other one?

 

[AnnHog]

fuck, that is really depressing. RIP Seau.

 

[Sanjuro]

Does this have anything to do with his SUV crash a couple years ago? It appears the signs have been there for years.

Fucking hell.

 

[yankeehater]

I disagree. I think is a huge macho culture around sports in general and the NFL in particular, and there have been several cases now of players killing themselves. The NFL should do everything in their power to make sure stuff like this doesnt happen.

 

[GoldenEye 007]

Wow sucks to hear about Junior Seau.... Had a great career and seemed like a great guy while in the league.

 

[the_log_ride]

RIP Seau

 

[jmdajr]

he killed himself?

fuck even worse

 

[eznark]

Fucking hell.

Most people assumed it was an attempted suicide at the time.

 

[LJ11]

Who was the other one?

Ex-Falcon Ray Easterling, was suing the league as well.

 

[eznark]

Seau is the eighth member of the Chargers '94 Super Bowl team to pass

Good christ.....

 

[tc farks]

I've never suffered from anything more than very minor bouts of depression that everyone experiences from time to time.

I am very thankful for that.

When Dave Duerson shot himself I came across something that I was just reminded of:

Duerson's brain will in fact be sent to Boston University's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy. They have previously studied the brains of 14 NFL players and 13 of them were found to have CTE, a degenerative brain disease similar to Alzheimer's.

This game takes an incredible toll on the body and mind. I hope players can find help.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Seau seemed so well adjusted too.

 

[Blondie]

Seau dead?! WTF! WTF! WTF!!!

 

[Slo]

Suicide is the selfish act of a coward.

 

[Sanjuro]

Good christ.....

Steve Young manslaughter charges are going to be coming up.

Suicide is the selfish act of a coward.

Not really.

 

[smokeymicpot]

Damm sucks about Seau.

 

[The Insane Dufresne]

Just heard about Seau.... but I don't want to believe it.

Suicide of all things........
