you have to think that’s what Kincaid and Coleman were planned to back fill

I mean he turned into a pleasant 800 yard guy to have. In one of the many WR threads I mentioned thinking probably a lot of people thought he’d be in that ballpark but disagreed if it would be a success or a hole for the offense. he’s a nice piece but he’s not a focal point

and to post it in front of this crowd? Wild.

we can only hope they pass up a mighty haul of picks to draft hunter

don’t think the pats trade that pick for a boatload to someone that does? Maybe even the giants?

about the same

and while Peyton drafted bush high… he wasn’t a mega contract vet. Pierre Thomas wasn’t a super well paid guy. Sproles again was toolsy but not an elite rb contract. it’s the classic I wouldn’t be shocked to see cook leave and a sneaky mid tier vet signed or mid round pick plus the existing backs.

there have been a handful of posters that saw that potential to be a home run every time he touched the ball who I know are unsurprised by this season. He was a high pick for a back with a solid pedigree- the only shame is he didn’t hit his stride a little sooner. I think maybe a combo of his own issues and probably a bit of the staffs distrust of young/new guys. It would’ve been nice to get another year out of him before he leaves to his next stop.

I’m more amused by this than I care to admit. debating which wash out is a better comp seems silly though basically he’s boom or bust. It’s hard to break out of the top side of that in just a few games but he hasn’t fallen out of the bottom either

because a true #1 is 30+ on the market? 19 is Christian Kirk money.

statistically that doesn’t tend to be the case in the nfl though, and that’s across large and long samples. Pass rush ties to bad reads from qbs, tipped balls, strip sacks and generally also an aggressive D that is hitting ball carriers we could be keying some other metric that has helped… or it could be a little luck mixed in. We’ve seen statistical anomalies regress back plenty of times here. But on the flip side of that we may have an MVP proving all of math wrong… just throwing out the fact that we are a little out of sync between elite turnovers and not elite processes that cause turnovers

I’ve not seen near enough to speak confidently but he played like a toolsy guy that needs to take a few big steps forward. If he does he could be elite. If he doesn’t he could be will levis.

my worry just remains whether that’s sustainable - pass rush tends to be the biggest indicator. Hot and cold there; so I’ve continued to imagine we end up closer to middle of the pack. But here we are deep in December at 2.

cousins could play on league minimum collecting the Atlanta guarantee

if the kickoff was fumbled and he needed to walk on the field, was he ready based on how he was managing himself? was he helping his team all be ready? sometimes you have to set it aside and deal with it later

For a stacked up offense they went from a dealbreaker to not a dealbreaker.

and he’d get better training so you might see him moving around a little better that said, without putting pen to paper likely behind the elite but ahead of the pretenders

yea, I’ll say if in the playoffs with refs letting things get physical and I was a DC against the bills pre-Amari… my plan would still be to bottle up the short and middle and dare Mack hollins to win the game by catching a bunch of chunk plays outside. Amari changes that drastically come on…. 2 HOF and moulds? Its posts like this that derail the thread

yea, I mean cousins arm should look a little better once his foundation is ready for the rigors of an nfl season. What will be interesting is if they cut him, pay the guaranteed and someone else gets him really cheap. At league minimum salary he could land a lot of interesting places

I’ll continue to say - if that’s not motivation to practice fielding the ball cleanly, I don’t know what would be the hands team should have voluntary practices to just hurl the ball at each other

if nothing else, shocked he’s not seeing some of those Ty Johnson/James cook/shakir looks out of the backfield that go downfield yea, but there’s still a pretty large gap to that low ceiling even if you believe it’s the ceiling.

A matchup of first round qbs? I’ll take it plus penix is starting now

you strike me as the type that would ask your new wife if your ex-wife can move in as it would help with the bills and she knows the house and your habits already.

I think bishop needs to play a ton this month I think Elam should get as many reps as rasul needs to cede to heal. No rush back. bishop getting seasoned to start full time in the playoffs while Douglas gets full healthy and Elam gets some time in case of emergency would be ideal

It was almost another special teams gaffe I wonder how many kicks they’ve practiced at taron while he’s also trying to line up his block
