INTitan

Fish!

One year guy at IU who instantly became a team leader. They gave him the Rose Bowl MVP as the leader of a group that dominated Alabama that day. his hustle play in the Peach Bowl to recover Mendoza’s fumble downfield is the perfect highlight of how he plays. Hopefully a long term guy here.

@NashvilleNinja my son is attending Dillon’s draft celebration (Saturday, not on Thursday- he’s on the waitlist for Pittsburgh). Let me know if you want him to sneak you in as his biggest fan and all

Fair enough. I just think we have bigger needs in the first 3 rounds than to draft Dillon. He is a smart, dependable safety, somewhat of a ballhawk and a good tackler who will likely play in the league many years. But he can be isolated in matchups and wasn’t a plus enough athlete to overwhelm those situations at a collegiate level. And as you say, we have bigger fish to fry.

Just curious why you value Thieneman that much? For context, my son grew up with Dillon, I’ve watched him since pups in multiple sports- he’s a great kid and someone I think will play in the NFL as a solid starter. But at times he also got exposed (see the last 3 games v IU). I’d be excited if he was a Titan but I’m not sure why we would want to trade anything at this point to get him. If he is still there in the 3rd, maybe an option.

Cooper might be gone by 35 let alone 66. Having watched both closely for a couple years, Omar is the better football player and some team will be very happy to get him, hope it is us. Sarratt has some Keenan Allen in him, made a living in back shoulder and contested catches but it will be interesting to see what he runs. Seems like a 3rd rounder value.

As someone who has followed Omar Cooper since his HS days and know people that grew up with him, this would be incredible. Kid is just a great football player. Not a WR1, but should be in the league a long time. Tough as hell, blocks, catches, makes plays and never goes down on first contact. Great kid too

Lol, looks like I was right about being emotional. You said Mendoza hasn’t been hit all year. Simply not true. You said “facts” about IU’s schedule. It’s ranked #1, Miami is #5. All that tells me is you haven’t watched them much and are making a lot of assumptions based on what you want to happen. I didn’t say a word about Miami, they are playing well lately, it could very well be a good game. Like I said, good luck.

Goodness. 3 years older eh? This narrative is getting silly. Poor Alabama and Miami with their young 5 star players. Of IU’s 27 rotational players (13 off, 14 def), average age is 22. That is a senior. Kind of like the old days, when teams had juniors and seniors playing. They start 3 true soph on defense. The WR Becker is a true soph. Their best player Mendoza is the equivalent of a senior (RS JR) not some 25 year old 7th year guy. Almost all of them weren’t recruited by the other playoff teams. They’ve developed into very good college players. Win or lose this game, if you can’t appreciate what this team has done, the way they’ve done it…that’s on you.

Your posts tell me you haven’t watched IU much. You are trying to will this into existence because you are an emotional UM fan. Best of luck.

Realizing I have no street cred here lol, but have a Borgonozi/Ballard and ultimately Nagy connection that told us this weekend Nagy will be the guy. Things could change in interviews but when a family member says it, seems more likely than not.

Just me or does Borgonzi look like he could be Brinker’s brother? I think they are about the same age, both played running back in college. Uncanny.

Probably been brought up in one of our Whisenhut threads, but has anyone looked at Philip Rivers contract situation? He restructured to help the Chargers in Sept but still has a ton of money on the back end. Chargers gonna have to cut ties at some point. Probably crazy, but maybe Rivers becomes our Kurt Warner in the twilight of his career? Alabama native, too
