Hoshoryu is prepared to be DAL's war daddy upfront
I'm aware, this ain't my first rodeo
Always assumed I liked baby backs a tad more than spare ribs but never did a side-by-side test, so I'm going to whip up the smoker and smoke each one using the same rubs and process to see which I prefer for the first time today.
wish me luck
A safety with eyes!
Ultimately, I like this move because he's a chess piece who can be optimized by Christian Parker's scheme, especially since he'll be playing with some depth so he can attack short-to-intermediate routes top-down.
Against the run, he's does a good job with his pursuit angles on perimeter runs and he's not afraid to throw his body around to maximize hitting power.
He's a little small (listed 5-foot-11 and 190) but he's not afraid of physicality, though you don't want him taking on lead blockers anytime soon.
He's versatile and can play different roles depending on gameplan. I think he's best utilized as one of the safeties who can slide down to the box when needed rather than the primary nickel, but he can play some nickel if playing bigger slots or a lot of zone.
He does his best coverage work in zone concepts but can struggle in man coverage against route runners with some wiggle.
Thompson also shows really good awarness and feel for routes developing around him. Has more than a few plays where he'll peel off one route to disrupt at the catch point.
Think he can also be effective doing things around the box. Does well to identify the PA and chase down the flat route for minimal gain.
From a coverage perspective, I think he does best when playing top-down, so he can drive downhill on targets.
Regardless of where he aligns, his best reps come when he can drive downhill & play through the WR's top shoulder. He can get into trouble when he's in trail against better route runners.
New #Cowboys DB Jalen Thompson is a very interesting player. Heard @matchquarters.bsky.social mention that he played injured last year, so I wanted to make sure to get exposure to him in previous seasons to get a full picture.
MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN, don't want to get my hopes up too much but things are setting up nicely for Hoshoryu this basho.
Good 2-0 start while both his main rivals Onosato (0-2) and Aonishiki (1-1) have taken losses. Obviously still really early, but can't ask for a better start.
Do you eat dinner at 9pm lol? SNF occurs right during prime dinner time. Or you can just grocery shop the day before. I'm not religious so church ain't a thing for me. 10am is perfect.
Salt Hanks' french dip lives up to the hype. fucking amazing
That seems worth it tbh lol
it's the best
Nothing beats PST.
even worse!!!
sources are telling me that the UFC fights are going to last until like 2 am tonight in NYC and I'm wondering how anyone who enjoys sports lives here.
No wonder y'all are so damn cranky.
Yessir!
Just ate a tie dye pizza from rubirosa and I think my life will forever be changed
you don't know how hard it was for me to not take any EDGEs, felt like I was betraying myself
by hook or by crook, we are gonna get this secondary up to par
