Just Get well!! Or I'll come after you!!:rolllaugh::mrburnsevil:I'm fine for the moment. You can't get rid of me that easy. In the hospital and they're doing tests, don't really have an update besides that.
Glad to see your staying away from my List of DT/NT's! It's getting thin!!!Texans select Nile Lawrence-Stample NT, FSU
" BEST WISHES!!!"Funny is probably not the word I should use but I had an incident of angina myself on Tuesday. I was at my cardiologist's office yesterday where they did an EKG and, among other things, they found I had an irregular heartbeat. I'm going in for a stress test at 1500 hours today. I could be looking at my third heart operation shortly so let's pull for each other. There's a good chance I won't be going on my vacation the 24th.
So I'm right there with you brother. It must be the season for it.
1st Punter off the board! Yes, as Hekker might say, Punter are Football players too!Thanks @Tron

Drew Kaser - P - Texas A&M
@TheDYVKX is on the clock
@JRobinson is on deck
Nice pick, god athletic skills, Smart young man. I had him rated much higher at #118, so a great value pick too!With the 161st pick in the 2016 draft the Steelers select CB D.J. White, Georgia Tech.
www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/d.j.-white?id=2555555
OVERVIEW
White made one of the more impressive plays of the 2014 season when he used his speed to chase down Pitt star running back James Conner on a 74-yard run to knock the ball out just before they reached the end zone. That hustle combined with his ability to make plays in coverage turned White into an honorable mention All-ACC selection in 2014 (team-best four interceptions, eight pass breakups). He played well again as a senior (41 tackles, two interceptions, eight pass breakups), making himself a coveted prospect at a prime position.
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Team captain and three-year starter. Patient from press coverage and plays with balance. Disrupts receivers with well-placed jabs. Plays with desired feel for his man throughout the route, working to stay in his pocket. Good short-area quicks to squeeze routes and close on throws. Challenges catch without running through receivers. Good leaper with high-point ability. Instinctive and disciplined. Attacks catch point rather than man when in position. Forced a fumble all four years at Ga Tech. Should not be limited by scheme.
WEAKNESSES Needs to get head around earlier with back to the ball. A little clunky flipping hips and changing directions sharply. Recovery speed is very average. Play strength needs improvement to challenge NFL size on perimeter. Waits on receiver after short catch giving away valuable yards after catch rather than attacking downhill. Head ducker in run support and finishes with arm tackles over chest-up approach.
NFL COMPARISON Justin Bethel
BOTTOM LINE While White is just a shade smaller and slower than teams usually like outside, he makes up for it with his instincts, athleticism and cover skills. White is relatively clean in coverage and is able to stick to his targets, but may not take enough chances to become a ball hawk who takes the ball away. White's ball skills and feel for the position could put him in position for early snaps as a third corner and he has eventual starter potential.
Nice pick, god athletic skills, Smart young man. I had him rated much higher at #118, so a great value pick too!
OK! OK! :rolllaugh:Sooner or later I will Remember to " ALWAYS" proof-read my post's!!:baghead::rolllaugh:You do know I meant 'Good' NOT God, right!!?!A draft prospect especially a cornerback with God athletic skills should have been rated much higher than #118 theoretically would be #1 overall, right? :banana::snicker::bow:
Nice pick, and you get some protection for your QB!The Chiefs Select Ted Karras, G Illinois
Really nice pick Gandalf, I had him pegged for this round!With pick #163 the New Orleans Saints select...Deandre Houston- Carson, FS, William & Mary.
