  1. I don't mind the rotation. Keeping guys fresh makes sense to me if you have the horses to do it effectively. But no run stuffing zero tech is worth the money MD is being paid. He is (or should be) a disruptive 3 tech. McDermott's scheme allows for using MD this way so I expect to see that as the season progresses.
  2. As ZZ Top would say, "they got some nice girls there" har har har.
  3. Or for the boatload of picks we will gladly deliver for moving ahead of the second to last place Jets.
  4. Bad day for former Bills, Jason Peters sidelined with groin injury.
  5. Punts on fourth down, accepts the penalty, either Bowles is an idiot or they are tanking. 0-16 is where they are headed.
  6. Well if they could go back in time there is no way that they write that contract imo. If that is true then its not just me who disagrees with you.
  7. But wasnt he touched by Wood while his knee was down?
  8. Donald probably better deserves it. I don't have a problem with large contracts but before inking one the team has to understand who and exactly what they are buying. The Bills were on notice concerning Dareus. Chan would complain about always "having to stay on him". I remember a long soundbite where Drayton Florence dressed Marcel down on the sidelines saying he had to raise his head/motivation to the level of his talent or else etc...and that was in 2011 if memory serves. Would obviously love for the light to go on but I'm sceptical at this point. Looks to me like he's been paid and has lazed out. Someone mentioned Sapp. Thats the player Marcel could and should be but just isn't. Unless he turns it around big time I don't see Sean putting up with it.
  9. Hmmm...reminds me of the Jason Peters debate. I would have paid Peters and I'd pay Donald.
  10. He made fantastic throws last night when he needed to. And he was happy to let the left side of his line and the running game take over when he didn't need to. I know its early but I see him as the clear front runner in the pro prospect sweepstakes.
  11. Even if it is a promising class to me there is Darnold and then there is everybody else and the separation is clear. You don't tank a season from the outset but drafting Darnold would almost be worth it. I'm sick at the thought of him suiting up as a Jet. Also as may have been mentioned, Mayfield may not be Sean's kind of guy.
  12. Well if NE not being as good as we assumed/feared they would be is the other side of KC being better than we hoped they would be I'll take it. Plus seeing Kraft, Belly, Brady etc...publicly humiliated before an audience of tens of millions gathered to celebrate how wonderful they are supposed to be is a bonus that will last a lifetime.
  13. L. Bell, Latavius Murray, Mike Tolbert, DeMarco Murray, etc... all would likely have converted. Mike's a good player and can run inside and outside the tackles but he's not really a short yardage back, like not really at all. Actually Blount doesn't have a stellar conversion percentage either but its much better on fourth down than on third down conversions. I don't think the Pats have a short yardage back on their roster.
  14. Dont know what stats you are looking at. How 'bout L. Bell? Mike got stuffed twice tonight.
  15. Mike is great but never saw him a short yardage back. Bill is learning he is not L. Blount.
  16. Yeah on the ground with his back to Tommy.
  17. At least he's good in zone...oh wait...
  18. Don't forget Bobby April. Love me some STms.
  19. Deon Lacey waived by Dolphins claimed by Bills. Cover 2 LB I actually like this move. Guy is in his prime, developed very nicely into one of the best in the CFL and continues to get better. Great ST (I know I know another one). I think this guy will get playing time and more of it as the season progresses.
  20. I've worked under a new boss who methodically purged the group he inherited and which had some pretty talented and experienced people. Wanted his own guys/hires. He turned out to be a disaster and eventually got fired. Truth was he was paranoid and psychologically fragile. Felt he could only trust people who owed their jobs to him. I'm sure others have also seen this type before. Sure hope thats not what is going on here because if it is we will be shipping them out and starting all over again in three years.
  21. I'm not surprised he made the cut. He is their developmental guy for now at least. From what I saw of him in ps he seemed to be doing pretty much everything coach was asking him to do i.e. not too much. Didn't really stretch the field and of course is raw but was pretty accurate underneath, hit the seams a couple of times and showed off his arm strength on a few out patterns and sideline throws when he was out of options and under pressure. Sure it was against lower level competition but I think he still looked ok. I realize he's a longshot but I'm pulling for the kid and not just because of the comp. Likeable young man.
  22. He's 5'10"- 200. Supposed to be fast but only ran a 4.45. Not exactly a burner. I guess they mean football fast lol.
  23. I would agree with you if we were in a Roman/Lynn scheme. Though of course we haven't seen all of it I suspect that Peterman is a better fit for a WC offence or even a variant thereof if thats where we land (which appears to be the case). And these coaches seem to be all about scheme suitability. If Tyrod can't cut it he will sit imo.
  24. I hear you but I did say "at times". Like most talented youngsters consistency is the key objective. But I think I can see why Jeremiah was so high on him.
