Bleeding Bills Blue

You're probably losing a shorter or shakir if you do pull that trigger. His return ability likely doesn't factor too much into it with Harty being here. I'd say he's in competition with shakir more than anyone else, and he doesn't offer any ability to play outside while harty Sherfield and shakir both do.

I'm going to go with Gabe Davis. 60-70 Catches, 1000ish yards, and 7+ TDs. Probably got that flip flopped tbh.

Shakir has more ability to potentially play both inside and out which offers more flex as a depth piece. He's also under contract for 2 more seasons so there is a cost control. He's fast, but he has a small catch radius, doesn't have plus hands, and he's just generally small. He offers a lot of the same attributes as harty, but harty is better as a deep threat and can play outside as well as inside. Long odds though - with Sherfield, harty, Shakir as slot options, Shorter as a 6th man seems more likely to me as he offers more as a variety piece who can probably play special teams. With Shell retiring i think he can stick on the PS at least to start the year.

Which also means he's playing banged up the majority of the time as well.

How much the movie made is typically irrelevant to a writer who sold a story. Usually its just a percentage of the budget or a capped number. If they get a writing credit they might be able to negotiate some percentage of it. He likely paid them to use their story in his book, and a percentage of proceeds from the book and any movie rights deal was a part of that contract. Residuals likely wouldn't apply since... Michael Lewis didn't write the script or have any involvement in production of the film. He was paid for the story he wrote, and some of that money might have trickled down to the family (sounds like it did, and it sounds like Oher probably has it). Oher doesn't get all of that money either, since while it is his story - its their story as well. It's possible they negotiated that into some original contract with Lewis, but I doubt theres a huge bucket of movie money sitting around. Usually the movie money goes to the people in the movie, who wrote it, produced it, made it, and obviously the production company, distribution who bought it, etc. If it was "pay me 15 million or ill drag you through the media" it would still come across to me as a threat - legal or otherwise. I thought their response was pretty fair though. I think they're more likely getting royalty checks from the book than the movie though.

Wasn't there a medical issue with dean?

Wasn't he playing for milano? He was an absolute liability in coverage so they just used him more to rush the QB and play closer to the LOS as he was getting exposed in the run game against NE and KC. For the year he led the team in missed tackles. Was it chargers? I thought Seattle as he had a couple sacks and a FF to all but ice that one.

I mean... If you double pump a screen the timing is wrecked and the entire defense knows where the ball is going. Toss that thing into the dirt, or take the sack.

Barkley highlights show... weak arm but good anticipation and vision. Allen should have turfed that pick 6, and im sure dorsey said the same thing right after it happened.

Minshew is the new fitz, he'll come in midseason and out-play the other guy and they'll go into next season with no idea what to do.

Michael had no problem throwing them under the bus. Sounds like a family having a falling out and him taking it public. This likely goes nowhere and gets settled because at the end of the day itll probably be two millionaires fighting over a couple million dollars.

It's their life story too though. He doesn't have a life story without them. If he's just looking for an equal share he needs to prove he didn't get it. As for why now? Thats a good question. You'd think he would have had this conversation with his agent when he signed in the NFL, or maybe his book agent when he wrote his autobiography in 2011. Maybe it would have come up in the autobiography? Who know? Seems like they had money before they even met him as well https://www.franchisetimes.com/article_archive/auspex-capital-unwinds-rgt-management-with-dose-of-philosophy/article_654b7608-e9b5-5062-929f-e96db26aaa2e.html

I'm fine paying a wide receiver. Trade a decent pick if someone becomes available as they almost always do, if I'm paying a premium I want a more premium player than Davis has shown to be at this point.

Didn't Texas A&M have it like 70 years before the bills though?

Not really at all... someone earlier had pointed out a missed tackle on brissett earlier in the game. I just wanted to include that he was in on some plays as well.

Being big and fast will only get you so far. In fact its likely to get you injured and sacked a lot tbh.

1 year starting is a big concern. Culpepper started for 4 years. Newton only had the 1 year starting (plus another Junior college year where he won the NJCAA championship)... but he won the heisman trophy and a national championship. Richardsons team went 6-6, he didn't put up much in the way of numbers, and its hard to get excited about some of the big wins when the team stat line includes 54 carries for 374 yards and 3 TDs. It's going to take some time - pocket management, blitz diagnosis, reading the field, using your eyes, rhythm passing... he needs a lot of work. I'd avoid playing him this year at all if i could - but i expect he'll play a game or two at the end of the year once they're out of the playoff picture. I also expect that he'll suck in those games. I know hooker is older, and is recovering from an injury... and levis is older and has a lot of the same wrinkles... but they just seem like better players when it comes to what happens on the field. You used the 4th overall pick to draft a redshirt player, who might need 2 redshirt years.

They drafted a TE and a guard seeing that... they needed better hands and another weapon, and just trying to build a strong offensive line requires draft resources or a ton of money. I was hoping one of Sanders or Simpson might slip to us in the 3rd, and it didn't happen. Not gonna judge a rookie based on his first camp - bernard on the other hand is a year plus in and still doesn't seem capable of playing at the speed needed to be successful. I do think Dodson/Rapp/Milano/Johnson are all going to be blitzing a bit more than they have in the past - hopefully dodson can prove more valuable in this role than edmunds.

He did have a stop on one of the back to back brissett QB runs on 3rd and 1. Pretty much ended the game right there.

I think it'd have to be the astros simply because i don't know that the orioles can match their starters in a series - and they're the defending champions.

And yet he soldiered on and led the team in tackles 🙂 Their top 10 running game managed 51 yards on 19 carries. If you want to add in the QB scrambles you have 26 carries for 80 yards.

Just for some context - The lions had the #4 Offensive in football. Coming off a 3 game winning streak (and following this loss with 3 more wins). They had 3 turnovers total in that 7 game stretch and 2 were against buffalo, and it was among their mediocre to poor outings on the season. And also dodson played 10 snaps in that game - klein played 71. Dodson did play the entire game against Cleveland. It should be noted that the game was 28-10 and the Browns gained 150 yards on offense after that 3 score lead was established, as well as 13 points.

I'd be open to it but at the fair market value of what you think he's going to produce. I like him more than slayton who got 6M AAV, but his numbers don't really line up with JuJu at 8.5M AAV. The big issue is his agents going to point at allen lazard getting 11M AAV on a 4 year deal - which feels like a lot. We don't have cap space to pay a #2 WR 11+M AAV, let alone one who has as many wrinkles as Davis.

The kid can catch - he's 6'4 250 and has huge hands. He didn't run at the combine but he looks the Ertz part. Knox is a solid player in that 50-75 target range, and his rookie year drops seem to have mostly been fixed. 2 athletic tight ends, one in line, one you can move around more, it can create mismatches and favorable run fits. I don't know what else you really want in a pass catcher on offense. Speed i guess is the name of the game right now, but i'll take hands and a student of the game over that in most cases.

Eat 6 hot dogs and tell me you don't want to be at your home base 🙂
