They are making an example of him as a message to the rest of the media. Pretty silly really. Cody Ford working both positions on the right side is news? I think he got caught up doing a live report like he has done for over two decades.and had no one there besides Tasker to restrain him. Instead Steve was probing for more info. The Cleveland Browns have been live streaming and they do not show any view of their formations outside the tackles. Seems reasonable. As for Chris Brown I think he does his job well but slipped by not checking himself during a live segment. He reflexively did did what his training and experience had conditioned him to do. He was making the show better, imo.

A fair question would be what is fair compensation for a decent, do-it-all RB on a 2nd contract when they are part of a tandem? Some say don't even bother while others might say yes but for less guaranteed and fewer years. All other positions are cashing in including average, rotational DL.

Four players are designated on Tuesday which lasts until game day. After the game there would be approximately 48 hours when all 16 are subject to being claimed and put on some other team's active roster.

I have been paying attention to the Browns in their camp due to TE Stephen Carlson and Kevin Johnson has been a camp standout. Tough break for him.

They give stuff away every game. A nicely designed mask would be worn many places elsewhere in the community so some sponsor gets plenty of exposure. Giving them out is then no excuses for not wearing one.

Yes. Use every other row. Odd ones in one section and even ones in the adjacent ones. Skip the two seats nearest the aisle. Food and beverage consumed only at one's seat. Seats belonging to one season ticket account can be clustered as a social cohort. No or limited alcohol sales in the stadium. Willful failure to comply puts season ticket accounts at risk. No ticket exchange resales so don't try to win the right to attend with no intention of doing so. Masks handed out at the gates to people in line prior to entry. Fewer lines but they are longer and spaced out. I think it can be done.

He was inducted on 9/29. When he attempted to defend Ralph, he got booed too. I remember him saying something like "I don't understand the booing, if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be a team here." He died less than 4 months later.

Ok, I'll answer. Cam had 4 seasons of his nearly 8 full seasons that looked much the same as Josh in 2019. Two before his MVP season and two after. Josh is ascending (maybe) and Cam is healthy (maybe) so 2020 projections for them seem like a draw to me. Most copied from Pro Football Reference.

Season ticket holders will be the majority of whatever crowd is there. I like to think that we are more inclined to follow the rules.

That year and '85 were the low point of the franchise, imo. Pat McGroder's W-o-F ceremony where Ralph was booed by a sparse, socially distanced, angry crowd and Pat tried to defend him was the emotional bottom.

What if Barkley is like Frank? Give him a gameplan, a full week of practice and the first team offensive talent and he can get a win for his team. He is 1 for 1 in that scenario. That win against the Jets I in 2018 was way beyond my expectations .

Gunner, I think you are thinking too much like a scout and not enough like a person in charge of constructing a team. That's the value of a Frank Reich type backup. He is good for QB1, is comfortable with his role because he is fully aware of his limitations and can rise to the occasion when called upon and given time to prepare. Many of these other candidates would not check those boxes. Matt might check all 3.

Funny you should say it this way. Frank did not start a game until his 4th year. He never looked good in the preseason games and fans questioned having him on the roster. He lacked any elite QB traits but would eventually hold the distinction of having lead his team back from the biggest deficits in both the NCAA and NFL. His leadership was elite. In his first start he brought his team back from behind on MNF against the Rams. We came to understand how his personal faith translated to being unflappable in leading his team in a tough spot. We have seen Barkley just one time leading the first team offense with a week of game preparation. That's all he had was a week of prep. It was a tough spot and he lead the Bills offense to a blowout of the Jets. It may be true that Matt is very much like Frank but let's hope that we never get a larger sample size to get the full measure of how similar he is.

Cam had seasons in 2013, 2014 and 2017 that looked very much like Josh's did in 2019. If you can point to anything in those years that Cam did better than Josh I'd be happy to discuss it. Cam played all 16 in 2017 so reaching all the way back to 2015 in an attempt to define what a healthy 2020 might look like is cherry picking at its finest. I'd say the biggest difference I see is their reputations heading into those seasons. So what you say is no contest I'd say looks like nearly identical production.

Don't forget about that horrible penalty he called on Cody Ford for his bump of block that fell way short of the "forcible" threshold that the rule requires. The poor LB drops on 3rd and 17 plus the failure to even attempt to wrap up Watson by two unblocked defenders on the game deciding play were bad Daboll calls as well. Actually though, it's a good thing so many players can say they screwed up in that game. They all can share in the collective blame and still have confidence in their coaching leadership. Humbled by failure on a big stage and hungry to be coached to improve is a good way to start the 2020 season.

I have never seen an illegal touching call made in tandem with intentional grounding before. I think there was a common theme where the o-line could not handle the closing plays of a game in the no-huddle situation. Their whiff% went up as did their falling down-off balance,-trip over their own feet- while trying to pass set %. I think they got gassed and could not function normally. Of course TB12 can make a throw and land it outside of 10 yards of his nearest teammate and it's all good.

How many times did we see a team waive their PK after a loss to the Bills last year? Jets, Titans Cowboys? Maybe there was another? Kickers are not scheme specific nor do they need to learn a playbook. Thus, there is no patience for young kickers to learn on the job nor is there much tolerance for any kicker that costs a team wins. There always seems to be a market for free agent kickers once the season begins and I don't think PS is a normal consideration but this is not a normal year. I can see them starting the season with both on the roster and letting it sort itself out. Once injuries hit and that extra roster spot becomes more valuable, one might have to go.

He is getting a big chunk of it now. Averaging it over the next 5 seems logical to me.

Lingering effects of the Henry Anderson cheap shot in 2018? That keeps getting brought up as an inflection point in Hauschka's performance.

I think Foster had turf toe last year which is difficult to overcome while playing. I never sensed an attitude problem. If there is something to it, I'd wonder what it is. Duke injured his right shoulder vs the Dolphins. I suspect a sprained AC joint. We never know what these players are dealing with and how it affects what they can do.

Your sarcasm is warranted. I forgot about that play.

I think the uncontested catch not made by Brown with the totally unnecessary bunny hop was an easier play not made. Both effectively cost them 4 pts.

Better to keep your own than roll the dice on other teams' cuts who did not even play in a preseason game that you could scout.

It's going to be a strange year for NFL roster management. Rookies will get less time to learn an offense and no preseason games to showcase their abilities. Teams will have little to evaluate of other team's roster cuts. It will be a 5 day process to bring a new player on to an active roster or PS. Chances are greater that teams keep their own players and lesser that they bring outsiders in. PS players are more important than ever before.

He had 2 at his hands that he did not secure before a db made a pbu. I do not think either was a drop. There were others where Duke was nearest to an uncatcable / throwaway pass. He also made a difficult catch that was called back on a holding penalty. This is all to say that he made some nice plays, was a physical presence but left difference making plays on the field. Most everyone on the roster had a similar game.
