Is this limited to brand-new rookies who have never signed their first deal? Like Joey Bosa a couple years ago? And plus, too, wont the team just add the random fine amount onto the new contract so the player can have it 'deducted' and still net the agreed deal price? I prefer if teams didnt wiggle or waive out of this. I prefer a league where the teams actually enforce the fines, instead of wink-nudge fuggedaboutit.

yeah. maybe. But I cant help noticing the lack of mention of when/where it happened.

Agreed. I'm wondering why we never heard of this injury. All of the reports avoid mentioning when the injury occurred. And if he finished last season with a shoulder injury, why didnt he have surgery already. Basically, did he wait to have surgery, just to buy himself more opt-out decision time? And to be in IR for at least half a season to get paid at his full rate, then maybe opt-out when he is medically cleared or, better, find out the season was canceled in his absence so he gets his entire year's pay with zero Virus risk. (there must be, or probably will be, an exception to the opt-out deadline for people on IR). And for the issue that he's in a contract year, there have been arguments that next season with its reduced cap would not be the best time to come up for an extension anyway. Maybe a season lost to IR will allow him to sign a 1-year prove-it deal during the small cap season, then prove it and get big money in 2022.

since the split squads have to stay split, the extra reps in split squads (the lower 45) would be reps of scrubs vs scrubs anyway. Not a good gauge of who is NFL ready. The lower 45 work would be pretty much like the 4th preseason game. I'd choose the 80. Especially on this team which doesnt have many holes to fill.

Maybe. But that's why I said upthread that the team will Fail him on the physical. And that's part of why I think no other team will sign him (except, maybe as a 3rd string lockerroom guy and/or an emergency Covid-Stash triple-emergency QB). Getting sued doesnt mean the team will lose. But its still costly, time consuming, and a distraction to be sued.

Most likely they will fail his physical, then settle via grievance. I cant imagine Fans of any team want to ever see him play again. Apparently Ron Rivera talked him up recently, but that's just PR management. And frankly, he probably in his heart doesnt want to play. He'll just do the injury settlement dance and ride off a rich(er) man.

Thanks. So If I read this right, it depends on whether we want Oliver to be double teamed. -Offense wants to decide who it wants to double -Tilted 3, if he's the right type of player, dictates that the Tilted 3 commands the double. To allow defensive stunts, keep LBs clean, etc. -Tilted 3 has to be quick so that, if Offense doesnt double him, he will definitely F the play up. So I guess it depends on what we drafted Oliver for. If he's good at beating his man 1-1, like Aaron Donald, then I dont want to dictate or invite a double. I'd want to avoid a double. (i'm dizzy now. Good thing I'm not the DC)

No. If the first year was zero, then the tenth year would be 9 and the last day of the first decade would be December 31, xx09. The last year of this decade would be December 31, 2019. But since they started with year 1, the tenth year is year 10. The second decade started january 1, xx11

I think the title should be "Hey guys, do you know what a Tilted 3 technique is?" Thats what you are really asking. Depending on the answer, it might be matchup specific depending on the Interior OL, the blocking scheme, whether we are ahead in the game, whether its a passing down, etc.

somebody has to say it. This decade isnt over yet. It still has 2020 to go.

Mack. Watching his film study session from a post on this board, I see him as a professional running back. He just sets up blocks and sees everything. Like when he said he wants to know if the linebackers' toes are 5 yards back or 4-and-a-half. By week 6 or so I could see him with the Ones. Even though the league doesnt have many "starting" RBs, Mack will be taking first snaps. (I know its Zack Moss, buy my brain auto-corrects it to Mack. A better RB name anyway)

Everybody. 3 points: 1) the old saw about "football shape." I heard an ex player say the issue is not a guy's fitness. Its whether he is fit enuf to avoid injury to himself and others. Talked about guys laying on the ground in camp so others had to avoid them. Guys too tired and then rolling up on the legs of linemen, etc. 2) Another podcast said this is why teams are loading up on camp WRs. Since everybody will be out of football shape, need to keep fresh legs so all the QBs can get plenty of real full speed routes to throw to. Dont need the usual CB/WR ratio this year. 3) even the guys working out probably arent doing it in pads. This season is gonna be a war of attrition. NFL should increase roster sizes and game-day rosters for the whole season.

Its not like the HOF where its supposedly a numbers game where guys have to wait forever. You're either a Bills Wall of Famer or you're not. We shouldnt put Curtis Martin in just because. And yes, in my post I said it might take 20 years because no drought-era players really deserve it. I dont know what will be the sudden push to put some names up just because we havent done it in a while. Unfortuntely, 20 years. Unfortunately.

Not just to be contrary. But i go with Josh Allen. Seriously. I'm not in love with Allen. But none of the drought-era players deserves. Kyle is kind of the best of them but that doesnt make him worthy. If Biscuit isnt in yet, then nobody else deserves it. Ralph is gone so any hard feelings are gone and any excuses for not being on the wall based on "Ralph hates me." So if you haven't made it yet, you probably dont deserve it. Therefore, it would have to be a current or future Bill. So, its gonna be the QB who wins the first Bills SuperBowl. There you go.

Jake Fromm State Farm should have taken 15 (%) for his marketing. To compete with Geico's 15% thing.

wow. I chuckled and mumbled this to myself. Suddenly, she woke up and started to play WGR. And I have never asked her to play any radio station before. Alexa >>>>> Siri

how could it not be that Aldon Smith has been re-instated? -He hooked Aldon up with whoever signed him, at Glazer's gym -He said its not a transaction. -Cowboys really want an answer before the draft

You guys can go 7 rounds in this fashion (since there is benefit in mocks. It gets us commoners a list of names to keep an eye on or further research). After round 3 is completely in the books, each GM (or those who want to) can simply list other players they'd be looking to snag for their teams in the later rounds, with approximate ranges the player is expected/hoped to be available. Just a thought.

i thought/think that part of the NBA's reasoning was how close the players are to the fans, and the fans not wanting to be around that. Also, as the weeks progress, and as it becomes more certain that only old people or pre-existing condition types are at risk of actual death, then one NFL player testing positive wouldnt shut the whole operation down. Also, they can play NFL to empty stadiums if necessary, even though fans arent "courtside" close anyway.

this is unlikely, with wives, kids, etc. Which got me to thinking. if your scenario happens, I think depth will be the most important thing to an NFL team. The season will be a war of attrition, since so many players, unable to properly self-quarantine, will test positive. And by extension, probably the team with the best 3 QBs on the roster on day 1 should be the favorite to win it all. Also by extension, what if they just run out of enuf players even to field a team, so the season ends up canceled anyway?

I dont think BB even wants a blue-chipper at QB, because that wont end the debate about who was the force behind the success. BB wants to find another diamond in the rough.

OL please. Give my QB time to develop. Im sick of seeing passes too low, or behind my WRs.

To ease the pain, just think of how stupid and inept the Fish will look if Tanny wins the SuperBowl. (not happening, of course. But still)

probably went like this: 1) Eli asked for a trade, but only to specific teams (since he has a no-trade clause which he can waive) 2) Giants said hells no 3) Eli's agent asked a few teams to call the Giants and inquire. Probably many of the teams Eli wants to go to 4) Eli's agent leaked it to some guy. Or a couple guys until he found one not so cozy with the Giants to refuse to run it.

I dont want to like her much, but how can I not, after this. She's on her way to owning me.
