Mock Draft 3.0


Cornerback Speed

And with my 1st round pick in Mock Draft 2.0 I've opted for a CB1 in Clemson's Andrew Booth Jnr. We need to dramatically upgrade our CBs in both free agency and the draft -  with the "wonderful" prospect of facing Wilson, Mahomes and Herbert six times per season.

Future QB

There is a robust argument that the draft be strongly defense focused but for the time being I've opted to select Skyy Moore (love the second Y) in the 2nd round and also a look to the future at the QB position by selecting Bayley Zappe, whose tape is impressive

McNamara's Band: Irish Ode to Tottenham Hotspur

Image
Danny Blanchflower lifting the FA Cup Back in the glory years of the 1950's and 1960's as Tottenham Hotspur won 3 FA Cups, 2 League titles and a European Cup Winners Cup, the team would enter the White Hart Lane pitch to the tune of the Irish jingle McNamara's Band. The upbeat song seemed to rhyme with Tottenham's stylistic approach: push and run, high tempo, passionate, skillful and tough.  But why McMamara's Band? What was it's association with Tottenham Hotspur? The composer of the song John Stamford was the manager of the Alhambra Theatre in Belfast and legend has it he composed the lyrics while living close by Tottenham in Barnet.  Another theory is that it was adopted by Spurs fans when Northern Ireland's Danny Blanchflower joined the club in 1954. While the presence of the immortal Blanchflower propelled Tottenham to greatness the song was part of Tottenham folklore long before 1954.  It has been suggested by older generation Spurs support

Raiders Crush Chargers- The Winners

Image
It was an historic night in Allegiant Stadium with the Raiders scoring their highest ever points total. Every Raiders player and coach deserves credit and praise but it was a big night for the following:  1. Malcolm Koonce Malcolm Koonce's stats were off the chart. He's had an exceptional season even before last night's game. Coming out of college he was likened to fellow University of Buffalo DE Khalil Mack and now we know why. - 2 sacks - 2 FF - 5 pressures - 3 QB Hits - 2 TFL - 4 Stops - 12.8% Win Rate - 91.6 PFF Grade 2. Patrick Graham Patrick Graham is one of the top defensive coaches in the league. He'll likely get head coach interviews (possibly including the Raiders) 3. The Offensive Line The Raiders turned to some backups due to the absence of Kolton Miller and Andre James. And the offensive line produced a sensational effort. Thayer Munford at right tackle was solid all game long. And Dylan Parham may now be our first choice centre.

The unprofessional timing of Kane's interview

Image
Anyone else irritated by the timing of Harry Kane's interview with Gary Neville? Kane by and large speaks the truth but the timing is poor.  Firstly lets look at the interviewer. Neville was apoplectic over the inequalities of the Super League yet is quite happy to promote the inequalities of the Premier League. As an analyst he has openly disrespected Spurs on many an occasion. He was a poor choice for a golfing partner that day.  Secondly we still have one match left this season and in theory could qualify for the Europa League. And Kane is giving chummy golf interviews about "honest conversations?". Thirdly, and most importantly, Kane and his Spurs team played in three finals for Spurs and on every occasion underperformed and underwhelmed on the big stage. In fact Kane  should not even have started the Champions League Final as he was far from match fit on the night itself   Kane wants to win trophies and clearly wants to leave.....but we have another cup f
