does anyone know what happened to this guy? i was enjoying his blog and now he barely posts anything. at this point i’m even willing to read the same old rehashed stories, just give me something. oh well, maybe after saturday he’ll be back in the swing of things.

I know, I've noticed that too

The Tribune has done an excellent job during training camp while Biggs has fallen off a bit. That’s ok in my book – as long as Biggs does a lot in the offseason (which he did), I’m cool with it.

he seems to be moving on as I have found his writings at

He contributes to several different outlets.

Be nice. Flag comments that you think are offensive. Use the "reply" button. Drink plenty of water. Compliment others. Rec (wreck) comments and posts you like. Don't call people names. If you don't like someone's comment, attack the comment and not the commentor. Learn the difference in your/you're, then/than, to/too. Exercise. Relax. Stretch often. Find good in the world.

I like Michael Gaines.

I used the puppy dog eyes and the “please Mr. Gaines?” to get an autograph at camp.. and it worked! Lol. Then got one for Sam: “he’s with me!” LOL. Good times.

between the puppy dog eyes

and the “pouty face”, it’s a WONDER why women don’t rule the world yet… i, myself am a big sucker for both.

on a different note, danieal manning was seen in the training room, being morphed into 4 separate people!!! 3 to fill the empty spots on the defense, with one extra just in case one of them pulls a hammy!!

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear.

Yeah me too

Obviously for a lot of the same reasons you mentioned. He was really nice, I hope he makes a roster spot. He struck me as one of those “gentle giant” types off the field. Haha

Harris
And Tommie Harris was … limited.

This is as uncommon as the Aurora Borealis.

Zach

Glad to see that Bowman is coming along fine from his hammie pull. Those are difficult to come back from right away, cause the slightest “quick-twitch” movement can make the muscle pull again.

Thank god we still have Chris Harris.

Bowman

if he could stay healthy, he’d totally be worth it, but since he can’t we have dealt with an injured corner and a busted Archuleta instead of Harris.

I would debate you, but that would only lead to me being dragged away in handcuffs...

BTW... just a side note

Alex Brown is down closer to about 250lbs now. Looking in amazing shape and very quick…

I thought it was weird

Alex looked really skinny during the Family Day thing.

Big difference from the Dick Jauron days

When they had him beef up to 285… he’s been playing at around 260-265 under Lovie.

No joke.

He looks really good though…played with good quickness, even on that hot, humid day.

don't know about underrated...

maybe to the rest of the NFL, but he is DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY underappreciated!!! he is by far the most consistent member of our d-line…
