  1. Who the hell cares about this dude? Made one “highlight reel” play in college and we’re supposed to long for his average play. Hope he signs with the Pats for big money. Nonfactor.
  2. Antonio Williams = Tashard Choice Cut, Back, Cut, Back, Cut, Back.....frequent flier miles are piling up.
  3. And there it is...the first “Where can I watch the Bills game in Scratchy Crotch, Iowa?”
  4. Tasker usually has a mouthful of Doritos in his mouth, or a bite of pizza, watermelon or Sour Patch Kid that makes him always do the “gulp” sound. Dude...drink water and eat something with two minutes left in the commercial break. Annoying as hell. Hoping we don’t hear the inevitable “licking of his gums” smacking his lips craziness.
  5. McDermott wants players who will run through a brick wall for their teammates....Dareus will run through that same wall for Mongolian BBQ.
  6. Steve Hauschka > Brian Allen What was Beane thinking?
  7. Yeah, the same coaches who will keep a 7th CB that will never see the field.
  8. Bass/Edwards: Heavy Metal Rock Hauschka/Bojo: Classical Some days you need precision Some days you need to just let it all out. Best to leave all options open on game day.
  9. Don’t tell 95% of the posters here that. They’ll banish your ass.
  10. I guess that onside kick vs the Dolphins last year was something any other player can do? I don't mean to belabor the point, but Micah Hyde's ability to jump up and grab that ball and run in for a score was a perfectly choreographed play that started from the magical foot of Hauschka. There's 6 points off the board if you cut Hauschka. Not to mention, Edwards adding more points on fake punts with a drop kick or two. And Bojo securing perfect field position on many punts. It's called directional punting, and when you can back an offense into their own 5 yard line, you allow your defense to thrive. Yeah, let's cut our best directional, left footed punter and our solid FG/onside kicker because you want an extra CB or safety. When's the last time a CB contributed to points?
  11. Hey, Special Teams may not be the sexiest gal in the bar...but she's nice, unique, can put you in good position and knows how to score. I suggest y'all take another look at the special teams kickers before settling for countless backups who never see the field.
  12. We're having a very well reasoned and calm discussion. If you want to swat the beehive and start a frenzy, go to one of the other threads.
  13. Sometimes the kids don’t hear the dinner bell the first ring. Have to clang that thing repeatedly to get the message across.
  14. And, yet, you forget about accuracy inside 40 yds and onside kick talent (Hauschka) and accurate punting inside 10 TD line (Bojo) and drop kick/distance punting (Edwards). There’s more points on the table than just Bass. I was hoping some of you would have an open mind but, alas, I gather you have dug your heels in. Don’t come crying to me when they ask Nickel Corner #6 to come out and try a 60 TD field goal or a directional punt because we weren’t savvy enough to retain talent for those situations that might arise.
  15. Let’s use your approach then. Imagine :03 left on the clock, fourth quarter, down by two points. You could win the game with a 62 yard field goal. You know Haushka doesn’t have the leg. I guess you’re gonna send out the 310 lb backup olineman to have a go at it? Or maybe CB #8 on your depth chart? Again (and I don’t mean to lecture you youngsters), toss aside three cans of tomato soup (you have plenty) to make room for the truly special foods you need to win the battle against hunger. Field position and points can’t be won with numerous CB/Oline backups. Australian Football does not allow gloves. Plus, if Edwards can perfect the drop kick, we’ll win enough games that he’ll forget his hands are cold.
  16. Guess you never heard of the “drop kick”. Our goal is to score more points. Edwards can do that. Bojo secures field position. Win win.
  17. George (can I call you George?) - I’ll say it again: Points (FG’s) and field position (deep accurate punts) win football games. Why wouldn’t you maximize the likelihood of both by retaining more of those position players at the expense of two or three cans of tomato soup (7th CB or 8th Olineman). #freeyourmind #fergysproof #fergytheory #calculus
  18. Refer to pantry illustration above. You have plenty of tomato soup in the cupboard...replace a few cans with good stuff!!
  19. Yeah? I notice not too many people are buying jerseys for he 7th CB on the roster or the 8th Olineman. Hypothetical: Your pantry holds a limited supply of food and you have 20 cans of tomato soup (five for "back up"), doesn't it make sense to get rid of 3 or 4 cans to make room for crackers, hot sauce and sardines? You'll never get to use those extra cans of soup...get something in your pantry that makes a difference.
  20. I would challenge you to create a proof that is better than the above. You know why you can't? Because my proof is plausible. Adding/keeping 4 skill kickers by reducing two depth players at a position of strength equals an increase in points (and better field position). My theory holds true and there's not much you can say to detract from the proof itself.
  21. Missed 55 yd field goals = Gift to the opposing offense. Bad punt = Gift to opposing offense. If you excel at skill players on ST (by reducing number of depth players at CB or OL for instance) you increase your chances of winning based on the theorum I wrote below: ST Player1, ST Player2, ST Player3, ST Player4 x .50 (50% increase in convertible field position points) - CB4 x OL4 = 33% Increase in Points
