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

genetically speaking I hate the implication of saying you’ve never been much of an athlete or, simply an ill received joke

yea but you’ve got to admit there’s a pretty wide gap between what’s happening and force feeding. he *should* have at least some schemes up touches.

it was still a 42 point week. Not the end of the world but not a celebration either. admittedly it was largely that we have super man at the most important position

I think he’s enjoying winning more than anything but it’d be nice to see him get in a rhythm at some point before the playoffs

probably faster than walking, in most stadiums, if you are catching a quick IV

and who is in the players ears before big plays telling them the really important things to consider? that the XP and kickoff didn’t burn the 2 minute warning isn’t going to hurt today but it’s the reason we have had unheard of tragic losses

he’s a backup LB that turns 32 in the offseason- that puts him in the top 1ish oldest LBs at that point? his career was over in a couple weeks. It’s just wild that this is the final note he would leave for himself to live with the rest of his life instead of getting out there and playing his last few snaps as a celebration of his career

ultimately most of the deals are so new that you don’t save money and the guys are playing as expected. So AJE and Oliver are likely safe. I do not believe Milano will be even if he returns to form. You have to shift those dollars to long term cornerstone players when you have suitable replacements available. I like Milano but you have to move on even if he’s healthy and set to go.

if running the sneak, a wild second play would be to have a wr drift towards the sideline during the scrum and see if he goes unnoticed by the db when you basically have everyone stand up and quick snap

the gap is often the number of years guaranteed. the pay is a yes/no question of are you starting. The length is the are we confident you will stay off the bench, either you are a bonafide starter or you are paid as a starter but on an audition duration.
