  1. We'll look I said I don't know but hey maybe you do. If guys of that calibre are out there by all means pursue them. Oh and let me know who they are. I'm all for learning.
  2. I think he may be insecure. Might be uncomfortable with aggressive young coordinators. I think he's probably negatively impacted the draft as well.. No badass. Just choirboys. I think he's pretty much served his purpose. I don't know that Pegula has the stones to fire him though. Of course you don't fire anyone unless something better is available to be hired. I don't think there is a Kyle Shanahan out there right now.
  3. It looked like a bad high ankle sprain. He may not play in the second half for all we know.
  4. Bengals are a passing team but, like us, they also need to run the ball. They likely won't be able to do that very well behind the right side of their line. With the LT out they might not be able to at all off tackle. I also think we will be able to dial up some pressure. If not we will likely have problems.
  5. They tried to fix it off-season. Based on their performance until mid-season their moves appeared to have failed, but they jelled after that and were playing well. I think that's why some of the football pros in the article had good things to say about it. If Williams, Cappa and Collins are out they are personnel-wise probably in worse shape than they were last year, when they were awful.
  6. I agree with the writer that Lamar's stint with the Ravens is probably coming to an end. From the club's point of view trading him makes sense if they feel that 1) his demand of a fully guaranteed contract is simply a non-starter, 2) they have serious concerns regarding his durability and recovery time especially late in the season when it's most important and 3) they have decided to go in a different direction with a more pro-style balanced offence and they don't think Lamar is the best fit for that. Its possible too that they are just fed up with all the drama especially if they feel he could have played yesterday and that he was using his injury as leverage and as a message to anyone who might be interested that he's not backing down from his demand for a full guarantee. Lamar best knows whether he could have played. We hear different things regarding PCL strains, including that they generally do not require surgery and don't get worse or extend recovery time if played on. Maybe this is true only of mild strains idk. If Lamar really was physically unable to play or if playing seriously exposed his knee to more and possibly permanent damage like RGIII, then unquestionably he made the right decision. But if it was all just part of negotiating leverage I don't think I'd want him and I wouldn't blame the Raven's for deciding to move on. Regardless of what they say publicly the Raven's brass probably have, and are well positioned to have, a view one way or the other. The rumour is that the team is very frustrated with Lamar.
  7. Have to think that the comments on the improved Bengals O-line are dated now that three of their starting players are down and probably out. Capps and their LT were good to go Jan 2 when the piece was written. I wonder how much that would change their analysis.
  8. I think he may still have a bad shoulder. When I saw him earlier in the year he looked a lot better passing. Not great but better.
  9. I wouldn’t be surprised if the jump was all on the QB. Roman isnt that stupid, and they were lined up for a push.
