"Chip on their shoulder"

I don't like running into brick walls so...no. I heard Poyer and his wife are having marital difficulties though and I would take a run at her.

At the least, he seems dedicated to his workout regime and putting himself physically in a good position to succeed. No idea why people spin this into a negative beyond he's currently the whipping boy that people on here want to get rid of for no reason.

LT - Dawkins LG - Long C - Morse RG - Ford RT - Nsekhe

Can't we just resurrect the one from the last time the XFL launched?

Such a beast that he had less tackles than their injured safety (maye) who only played 5 games.. ..maybe he gets back on track this year, but he hasn't been a "beast" for a couple years now

Why not just have every single player in for a workout? Only like 4000 of these guys. What's the downside?

Hope he's doing ok. Hope he starts planning for the end of his career and what he's going to do after football..for the safety of everyone else.

Gentleman, let's have a chat. Tight pants almost never look good on a guy.

You can't, but the purpose of the article isn't to do that. It's to get eyeballs and people talking about it which it seems to have done successfully.

Ah, excellent. A chip on his shoulder. Good to know that because of this ranking from...msn.com that Josh will now find effort that he wasn't going to give before...

I'm on the 9-7 train.

The dolphins are trying to tank..and he thinks they'll do better than last season and that the Jets are going to do better with the losing coach from that season. Solid logic there.

He also says the Giants did a great job in the draft

I don't want to read anything in this thread or look at the helpful pictures. When is rookie mini-camp?

They might find other fans choosing to re-engage the live experience as well..

I read a lot of AFC East forums and there's some...familiarity with certain posters on this board from other forums. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the folks who are in the "Every single move the Bills make is the wrong one" crowd aren't actually Bills fans..

..and water is wet. Competition doesn't mean they're gunning to replace him or have him penciled in as losing said competition like many on this board are..

I think the idea that Dawkins will be replaced as LT has a lot more traction among fans than it does among the coaches.

What? Are you paying attention to the conversation? It's about a claim that a 'chip on the shoulder' makes players better. The other guy talked about Tom Brady being drafted in the 6th gave him extra motivation. I disagree that there's any "extra" a player can give because they fell in the draft. You seem to be replying to the wrong person and not replying to anything that was said as no one made the argument that metcalf and brady are on the same level so you might want to take the antidote yourself.

except their job isn't to sell to the callers...it's to sell to the listeners..who seem to lap up their BS and make nearly constant threads about them

Ah, yes, TOm Brady is only Brady because he was drafted late. Nothing to do with his talent, drive, etc. He only became a great QB to spite the people who didn't draft him. Lol

"Extra Motivation" doesn't mean "motivated more"? "Extra goal"? Regardless of what terms you use, it's implying that the players has "more" to give in some way that they wouldn't have given if they didn't fall in the draft...which is ridiculous on several levels.

"Chip on his shoulder" in a way overplayed statement. It's basically saying that this guy wasn't going to give it all for the chance to earn millions and millions of dollars, but because he was drafted 15-20 spots later than some people thought he'd go...NOW he's going to give it his all..
