Ask Drunk Cope 12/30

Cope said:
Money wise you can only keep one, if you keep one with Hargrave and Dupree. It's Dupree hands down in that instance. I draft a NT or try to find a cheap vet fill in.

Vance has to be gone. $7M isn't worth it if he can't stay healthy, and aside from 2 years ago, he can't. He still hasn't played all 16 games in a season with us and he ain't getting any younger. Vannett is a possibliity, but he has to be cheap. He's a good #2, he's not a #1. I really like CSW on the roster. He got hurt in preseason, but looked like he had the inside track to #3 before the injury. He's 6'9" and athletic as hell being a rugby player. I'm really hoping he pans out since we've invested 3 years in him.

Finney > Foster. I don't touch Foster. Too expensive and too old at this point.

Burns and Davis are gone

ST, I'd really like to keep Kanaday and Matekevich. Both played at a pro bowl level this year.

What position /who are you targeting in free agency from other teams?
 
Drinking Stella tonight, with my engraved Stella glass I got as a gift!

What are your drinks of choice tonight?
 
What are you drinking?

I'm watching the Pens while enjoying a Great Return IPA made by Hardywood Brewery in Richmond. Excellent IPA
 
I had some rum nog the other day but back to my typical Jack n Coke.

Better to start digging a hole for a solid bunker. Then sky falling won't be an issue. Gonna need more duct tape! ;)

I didn't have enough for an entire bunker so I made a space suit instead. you think that is okay?

Bitburger German Pils. Not the best I’ve ever had, but certainly tasty for Northern New York.

You're gonna be eating 'Impossible Whoppers', instead of the double cheese Whoppers you're used to? :applause:

It might be me, but I just can't seem to find good craft beers in Southern California. I think I remember Cope himself saying there are a ton (of beers and places) out here, but I don't really know where to even look.

If you like IPA’s, pick up some Voodoo Ranger. Only IPA I can stomach. Several of my friends absolutely love it.

I love the Richmond Breweries. Strangeways is fun experimental stuff. The Answer does excellent desert stouts and juiced gose/sours. Love Triple Crossing's NE IPAs. Plus Stone has a brewery there too. Excellent place to vacation if you love breweries. I personally think it ranks in the top beer cities with both Portlands, Western Michigan, Hop Highway near San Diego, and San Fran. Absolutely killer beer and something for everyone there.

And, if anyone happens to live in North Carolina, I HIGHLY recommend Red Oak. Red Bavarian Lager. Excellent craft Beer.

Escondito my friend. Stone Brewery is there. The most beautiful brewery I've ever been to. That entire route is called the Hop Highway. http://hopshighway.com/

I remember hitting Ballast Point. I really liked Mother Earth brewery, and there were a few right next to it. Wavelength did good stuff. Though Legacy was meh.

Pizza Port was fun. Great pizza there!

Green Flash is good as well.

The Lost Abbey shares space with Port Brewing in San Marcos

I don't really like IPAs either. I like a good pilsner though.

Ugh, I completely forgot about Stone Brewery. When I went to Northern California, I did tour the Sierra Nevada brewery which was amazing (as was everything else in Chico California ;)
 
Cope, if you were in charge what 1 front office/ coaching change would you make

I really liked Lagunitas, Russian River, and 21st Amendment.

If I could only make one change, it's OC. You have to make plays to counter what the other team is doing, and we aren't doing that. I know it's tougher with injuries, but to never work in the TEs, or RBs out of the backfield is a disgrace. We lose Switzer, and go out and get 2 Z receivers, neglecting the slot. We rarely even ran slants. What is that bullshit, especially when they're loading the box and blitzing 5-6. Dumb IMHO.

The reason why ST gets a pass, Return teams improved as well as punt and kicking. Coverage teams could be improved, but they were not a liability either. He also schemed well and Minkah should have had a block when he came through untouched on that FG in NY. That is excellent scheming by the coach to find that weakness in the Jet's protection.
