2 reasons: Its TSW and the season hasn't started yet. See venom thread about Tyrod starting another game too.

I dont go for the manicured look...having all the dead cuticles removed one your fingers and toes by a professional makes your hands and feet feel so much better. And on the pedicure, having them scrub layers of dead and dry skin off your feet literally makes it feel like your feet are soft and walking on clouds in comparison. Kind of like that feeling when you buy a brand new pair of shoes but also wear a brand new pair of socks with them instead of your old scratch worn out ones. Plus the added bonus of them massaging your feet, calves, hands, and arms each as a added bonus is pretty awesome. Not like I get my nails painted or anything, for like $5 more they just do a shiny buff to them which makes them have a nice shine to them with no polish of any kind. And let me tell you, women love a well manicured man too. I get all kinds of compliments when they see my fingers or toes too. I live beach front, so I am always in flip flops and my feet also take a bit of a beating always walking on sand. So the treatment is just awesome to do and worth the money and experience.

Well considering they are rarely pretty young girls, I would have to beg to differ on that one Generally older asian women, besides they use my strength when massaging your calves, feet, arms and hands.

My top 3 choices in no particular order: Beane, McD or Allen. I have so much respect for the football minds and leadership of Beane and McD, and Allen seems like a really fun and competitive guy and similar to me and my friends. Old school: Jim Kelly or OJ for polar opposite reasons. JK obviously out of admiration of him, his career, perseverance, and leadership. OJ because I think I could coax a confession out of his dumb a**, and even if not, I’d love to troll him.

Sorry, but if you don’t get a mani-pedi you’re really missing out. I’m 6’4 and i go every three weeks. It’s amazing, and honestly I didn’t go until I was 32 and then was pissed I had been missing out on this my whole adult life. It you’re a man whose comfortable with their manhood, there is no reason to not go or be embarrassed about going. That being said, I seriously doubt they would ever bring Dareus back after dumping him for a case of natural light 2 years ago.

is he officially going there? That is literally the place I assumed from the get go he would end up. Also figured Rams, Texans, and Washington could be options as well.

I do too, but end of the day, no one wanted to pay even a 7th round pick for him and no one claimed him on waivers even with a relatively reasonable contract in terms of his talent. Again, not saying Beane wont claim him, just saying claiming to trade is a wasteful practice. Jags tried to give him away and cut him when they couldn't where he then went completely unclaimed. Interest is very very low on him. If we sign him, it wont be to try and flip him for a draft pick. Now on the other hand, if we sign him and he plays great and they want to keep him, they certainly could try and flip Devin or Moss for some draft assets and there would be a lot of interest in those guys.

Well considering the Jags tried all off season to trade him and said they couldn't even get a 6th or even a 7th offered for him, I think thats not a likely scenario

Different positions yes, but they are only going to keep so many players whose only real value is ST. So if Andre takes one of those spots, it still lowers the chances for Taiwan. Especially in a COVID year where they need to balance depth across the roster.

I have been saying that I think Yeldon has the lead on Taiwan both because of his familiarity with Dabolls system and the fact Taiwan is not healthy and been plagued by injuries in his career. This trade for me immediately made me think Taiwan just got on even shakier ground given his big edge of Yeldon would be ST contributions. I think Taiwan is in serious jeopardy of not making this team now. I prefer Taiwan myself if he was healthy, but I think his window to earn a roster spot is starting to close unfortunately.

Thats not what you're saying and you know it.

Look around the NFL, there are a LOT of RB's that are the better RB's in this league that were all 3rd round or later picks. You are just way off base here dude.

I bet you McD was calling an even tighter game than even the tightest a** ref just to keep the players as disciplined as possible too. Bet a bunch of guys got calls they wanted to yell at coach over haha.

In a normal year, I could see it being a possibility. But not this year, I just highly doubt they keep 7. Roberts has shown ability in his few chances as a WR, so he's not just a ST player. Yes he's a deep bench guy, but no one counts him as if he could ever take any snaps at WR. With COVID and a deep roster, I think they will need to spread the roster spots around and will not have the luxury of keeping 7 WR's to insure they have proper depth at other spots. But hey, not impossible they keep 7 obviously, I just find it highly unlikely given it would be mean thats another player somewhere else they can't keep and I think balance on the roster depth charts will be a high priority for them given COVID can impact them at any given moment.

If that is the case, then I think the possibility of Beane kicking the tires on Njoku's availability or one of OJ/Brate in TB would increase. I think Beane should, and probably is, monitoring those TE situations.

We would certainly have to include a decent draft pick, cant see them taking that trade as I would think they could a lot more somewhere else. I mean just straight up for a draft pick I think Ertz would fetch a 2nd, possibly more. My guess is that we would need to throw in at least a 4th, if not a 3rd for that to be remotely interesting to the Eagles. And even then, I think someone could make a better offer than us if Ertz could truly be had (which I don't think he is going to be traded this year). Here is a question: DISCLAIMER: I love Brown, so dont get me wrong, not trying to trade him. What if Eagles offered us Ertz for John Brown and a 3rd round pick? Would you do it?

Before everyone over reacts here, do we even know if this is a serious injury or just sitting out as a precaution type thing or simply a day to day situation? I mean lets not freak out over someone stepping on his foot unless its a real injury that could impact week 1 or more. That being said, never good to hear a guy whose had injury issues have another injury to the same area he has struggled with. If I am Beane I am closely monitoring the situations in Cleveland (Njoku) and Tampa Bay (3 starting caliber TE's essentially if Gronk is capable still with him, OJ and Brate). Would not surprise me at all to see Beane swinging a trade for one of those guys to pair with Knox as a dual threat situation at TE. Njoku or one of the TB guys in OJ/Brate would be a significant upgrade over Kroft anyway.

I still dont think that is a surprise, and honestly, I kind of expect a trade. Beane excels at getting value out of guys like Foster in trades at this time of year. He's got value out of a lot lesser players, so I think the cut would be the surprise over the trade. Foster wont make this team, was a long shot before he struggled with more injuries this camp. So he will be gone, and I think it will be a 5th or 6th round pick Beane will get out of someone. I could see Eagles, Raiders, Giants, Jets, Panthers, Houston, 49ers, Packers, and Dolphins being potential landing spots for Foster. They all either dont have good WR depth or have lost some guys to opting out or injuries. My prediction: Foster is traded to the Eagles for a conditional 6th round pick. They just lost Reagor to start the season and several other WR's are dealing with injuries.

Which is why I said all 3 have a case. I am not by anyway saying Duke has it locked up or is only choice. Just making a case that all 3 guys vying for a 6th spot, if they even keep 6 (which I think they will), have a case.

I think its a bit unfair to harshly judge Duke on some of the low percentage catches he didn't make. Its not like he is Randy Moss out there or D Hop. But he made some key catches for us, including in the playoff game even though the only thing people want to talk about is the end of the half TD he couldn't haul in that was a very difficult catch. I get it, thats supposed to be his specialty, but people act like every difficult contested catch should be automatic then, which is unreasonable. At the end of the day though, I think he has more situational value than McK. The guy with the most upside is by far Hodgins, but him being an UDFA rookie with another rookie already locked in with Davis, I think hurts his chances a lot to make the final roster initially. Although, I would not at all be surprised to see them keep Hodgins or bring him up sometime during the season from the PS if that is where he ends up. Honestly though, at the end of the day, this 6th WR will see very little playing time anyway as I think Davis is going get the lions share of snaps outside the top 3 guys.

I would not use the word "definitely", but I do think Duke has a legit case for the roster along with Hodgins and McKenzie. Foster at this point I just cant see making this team given he has done little since his rookie year and mostly dealt with injury issues, including camp again this year. I feel like Beane will do what he does best and flip Foster for like a 5th or something. But Duke has had a strong camp from I can gather from reports, along with both Hodgins and McKenzie. I think they only keep 6 WRs on the active roster. We know the 5 locks, so that leaves one of these 3 and each has their own pros and cons to them. Duke - PROS: Has a unique skill set that brings in Redzone and 3rd down value as a situational player. Physical player and a guy the locker room and staff seem to really like and all reports seem to suggest he's having a good camp. Has experience in Dabolls system, which gives him an edge over Hodgins. CONS: Lacks burst and also has a locked in rookie that also has size in Davis, making him no longer the only guy with size in the WR room to make contested catches. McKenzie - PROS: Excellent speed and perfect fit for the gimmick plays Daboll loves to run. Also Daboll seems to really like him too. Has had a strong camp as well based on reports. Has value on special teams too. CONS: There are multiple players who can run the gimmick plays he would be used in now on the roster. His value as a WR is minimal now, and even after a strong camp last year, they did not use him a lot last year despite a much weaker WR room outside of Brown and Cole. Does he do enough now to keep a spot, may come down to ST contributions. Hodgins - PROS: Biggest pro here is that he has been standing out in camp. Has the most upside of the guys on the bubble by far. CONS: An UDFA rookie makes him easier to protect on PS, and with a COVID risk season, they may not want to keep a second rookie (Davis is a lock at this point) on the active roster this year. For me...I think Duke has a slight edge, but won't surprise me at all to see them keep any of the 3. So again, nothing wrong in making a case for Duke, but at the end of the day, there is nothing "definitely" about any of these 3 WR's and all right now are in a tight race to try and get a 6th WR spot here.

Was talking on a week to week basis, not season totals. Duke had far less opportunities as he didnt get involved until late. But when he did, he had a bigger impact than those other guys did. And sorry, the 70% catch rate is silly. McKenzies mostly saw short screen type passes while Duke was more downfield and contested ball situations.

At this point, I would be shocked if it was Foster. Given his lack of involvement last year, his injury issues in the past and in camp this year, I just don't see how he holds onto a spot at this stage. I think they opened camp with him at #4 on the roster with the intention of trying to trade him personally. I can see Beane getting a 5th out of someone for him based on his splashy rookie season. And you may not be someone who believes in Duke, but he has had a strong camp again and he contributed a lot more to this team last year in a lot less chances than Foster or McKenzie did combined. Hodgins is an exciting prospect, but I have a hard time seeing them keep two rookies in a COVID era season on the active roster. But he has reportedly had a nice camp, so also would not shock me either. I think that 6th spot is wide open still...I don't see Foster keeping it, but I do think Duke, Hodgins, or McK have a legit case for them to keep a 6th WR. But like I said before, ST contributions will also be a large factor on IF they keep 6, and if so, which one they keep.

I think final spot in that scenario would be Duke personally. Just on the fact he's been making those highlight catches in traffic again, and McK is more of a gimmick play use player than anything else. And after flashing all these good plays in preseason last year, they went on to barely use McK during the season and that was with a shaky WR group outside of Brown and Cole. That being said, I would NOT be surprised at all to see them keep any of the 3 in contention for that final 6th spot in Duke, Hodgins, or McK as all have been getting good buzz in camp. Just think Duke has more situational value than McK because the kind of plays they use McK on, they have multiple players that can fill that role now already on the roster. Ultimately though, I am guessing that 6th spot will be heavily weighed on ST contributions, which probably favors McK, so who really knows.
