We don't need an Edmunds Justice Warrior to convince us that Edmunds is good. He is what he is: size and athleticism. Period. You can either make peace with his pros and cons or be upset by unreasonable expectations. His upside is he can disrupt their passing game by his height and wingspan, and if he has a free rush he could get a sack. His flaws are that he cannot shed a block to save his life, is not a sure tackler, and has goldfish level instincts. I've accepted Edmunds as my personal LB knowing all of his flaws. If only to save myself sanity. Also it lets me celebrate the occasional good play.

Contractually couldn't show certain OT games in certain time frames today. Disappointing for people who pay extra for the privilege.

It's time for another edition of we don't need <insert player with rap sheet>, but we should do everything we can to get <insert player with character issues but talent>.

Exactly. How else do you think I can bring in ALL the plastic grocery bags in ONE trip?

My opinion of the Watts was definitely influenced by the offseason of Twitter trolling of our fanbase when JJ was a free agent.

Never heard so many “in essence”s between so many “yo”s

Calling it now. The Ravens will double down on their position and trade him before the deadline this year. That way not only do they not risk any money paying him, they also get picks in return. There will be a team that will gamble on him for a one year rental.

And what’s on his throwing hand?

i’m at work, did i miss Edmunds making awesome plays?

Trouble in paradise. https://www.esquire.com/sports/a41095274/tom-brady-gisele-bundchen-epic-fight/

A small part of me wonders why Tomlin hasn’t made a swing for Lamar Jackson since Baltimore doesn’t appear to want him. But then Pit has beaten him more often than not. The possibilities though. Seems like he’s looking for another Big Ben. If it works, it works. But consider me a skeptic. I wonder what a high powered offense would do paired with a perennial defense. Instead of their D winning all of their games for them.

I’m certain that you could replace “guys” with “playbook” and it would probably work out in Bellicheat’s favor. 🤪

It’s the blue on blue uniforms against a blue primary color home team that’s the problem. Are the Rams wearing something special?

Perhaps they're souring on him because the gap has been too long. Enough time has passed so that the default response to any criticism can't be "he just took us to a Super Bowl, cram it." Now they have the time to think about why he's considered an all time coach. If he is/was such a great coach, why did he develop the most sophisticated practice spying system ever seen? Why were only his teams known league-wide for stealing playbooks? Why was his Super Bowl spying tape so egregious it had to be destroyed? Why did only his QB get caught manipulating balls? Why was only his team responsible for having substitutions/formations made illegal the next season? Why would his protégé Josh McDaniels be accused by his own players of doing the same cheating when he got his own head coaching position in Denver? Why can none of his coaching tree win without the cheating nectar and they always come back? The man was raised on football. He was a ball boy growing up. He has vast football knowledge. But if all that football acumen wasn't enough for him to believe he could win with, then why should it count for you? And if it does, do you go line by line redacting the scandal years and add up the remainder? This goat talk is fit for the politics section of the board at this point.

We've convinced the rest of the NFL that Edmunds is valuable. If Beane kept both rookie LBs just to trade Edmunds for value and 14 million in cap savings, put him on the wall of fame immediately.

I always have to google it for the spelling

Fast

You think maybe the Bengals contract will be more clever than giving him $3 million up front?

He fooled McD

We can’t help but pine for former players on this board. Why isn’t anyone checking up on Beasley or Feliciano? Oh, right.
