Bleeding Bills Blue

Right... We know all of that now. There are concerns with Tua too. 13 on the wonderlic. Other than lamar jackson who else has been remotely successful with a score that low? Rumored issues with the white board at the combine. Injury issues I think the callout of his absurd talent at WR and OT is something to keep in mind. Physical talent is there - but did these guys make it a bit easier for him? Can't really deny that.

I mean - he's not wrong. College success doesn't really mean anything when translating to the NFL. Look at Leinart, Vince young, Tebow... and many others. Having a stacked supporting cast makes it even more difficult to evaluate.

An improved run game should help with creating more makeable 3rd downs. They also seemed to have a fair amount of penalties, and sacks on 1st and 2nd downs. Get that sack rate a bit lower on 1st/2nd down by running more quick hitters... OR by checking down if you don't like the main route. No - but i hate when a QB throws a 4 yard out route to a TE on 3rd and 13.

He might end up signing for about that much. There's rumors of the cap going down in 2021 so teams are going to want to carry over more than normal. That cap space we have now might be earmarked for Milano/dawkins/tre. Does he want to sign at a place with hughes and addison? He's traditionally played roughly 80% of snaps when healthy. Depending which side he plays on - he might be looking at say - 50-60%. Assuming he plays on say hughes side. Also - if he's so good... why are Murphy's stats from 2019 better than Clowneys?

Everything you want in a backup - Smart, has some moxie, can win some games. Unfortunately he keeps starting places.

Yeah - Power and zone plays have the potential to get blown up, especially with that many players along the LOS. If you sneak on 3rd and 1 and don't get it - you're very likely at 4th and less than half a yard.

Ouch. Gonna be news worthy when spencer long gets moved to the visiting locker room.

I don't think he'll ever be a 10 sack guy. I don't think that they got him to be that. Between him and Ogbah they've got edge setters to help with their terrible rush defense. Wilkins another year in and adding van noy as a rusher should help the pass rush too. They went the secondary route to get tougher against the pass.

LJ was able to hit on more deep throws last year. He's also more accurate on those TE throws. Roman WR's typically run a ton of hitches/outs/fly routes so its simple to read for the QB, and then the TE's kind of work off of that. Lots of condensed sets to make it easier to run the ball, and identify mis-matches post-snap. Kaepernick had the arm strength for all those, but he'd sail a lot. He also held the ball more, resulting in more sacks.

We did actually sign like - 3 players to replace him in a way. Addison for pass rushing, Klein for LB, and Maketivich for teams.

My only issue is - in a 12 personnel grouping he's a running threat. He wouldn't be getting lamar jackson numbers, but you saw how successful ball control and defense was for them last year. NE already has a defense thats pretty beast, and good at taking the ball away. Add another dynamic threat to their run game and it could be a pretty big problem. You can't bring in CK and just go - we're running the tom brady offense. It's the same reason you couldn't bring in Cam. Rocket arms, not the type of pinpoint accuracy that makes a bunch of short stuff into bigger stuff - but they can move the pocket and make some plays with their feet when necessary.

Was just thinking - i doubt that the flagship store is open but i bet they could make it for you. I also really like the look of this hat so... if you figure it out let us know

At the end of the day - if we truly don't believe people can change. Then whats this all for? I think liking tweets and having a full heart to heart discussion with a teammate are a big difference.

They were also in the national title game - i could see him changing it specifically for that as well.

That section is the like affluent area around delaware park too IIRC.

Comes down to the 1 on 1 conversations with locker room leaders. Be real, be sincere, be empathatic.

I'm of the opinion that you can truly joke about anything.

Oh man... I pretty much only play online with friends in party chat to avoid all that. Now if you listen to my call of duty warzone party chat you'll just repeatedly hear me say "wow i suck", "why am i so bad at shooting?", "why do i play this game?", and "are you serious?!"

The rush to judgement in many cases is what bothers me the most. Al Franken resigned like 2 weeks after accusations. None of which could or would have likely been proven - all to help his party. In the end Kristen Gillibrand used it as the launching point for her incredible failure of a presidential campaign. Yeah - much like the tunsil draft day photo... timing for someone doing this was not great. Very clearly meant to tarnish his reputation - must've been a bad breakup or something.

he was also like 15. I was talking about this to my buddy the other day, we didn't have twitter then - but imagine some of the crap we said when we played counterstrike....

I probably would at least consider it? Might be easier to stash on the PS now in any case.

I probably would have spoken out loud - but the messaging is fine i guess. It somewhat reads - sorry i got called out for something i said.

Needs to be open to sitting down with every single guy on the team... and being open to listening to them. Trying to understand where others are coming from. Empathy. He probably looks at casual joking racism as "im not really racist", but in all reality - that's something that enables deeper discrimination. Making it funny and OK is one of the main problems.

I'd even go so far as to have an emotional like - speaking post. A written apology probably isn't enough here. Speak from the heart - accept responsibility and blame. Say how you're trying to be a better person - and give up some of that signing bonus towards a charity.
