  1. Set it up as a wife/girlfriend beating competition. NFL players seem to be really good at that.
  2. Davis Webb.
  3. Worry on about Poyer if you want. I'm disappointed in Saffold not being there. He needs the reps beside new teammates.
  4. The fan base, without a doubt. For the most part, just a bunch of whiney negative nancies. That my friend, is a glaring weakness.
  5. A high-level business meeting about the new stadium?
  6. Horse walked into a bar. Bartender says, “why the long face?”
  7. More so than any other unit on a football team, OL is dependent on blocking scheme and how the five work together, passing off blocks, identifying rushers and picking up stunts. I'm not a Bobby Johnson fan and believe that his schemes played directly into the weaknesses of our linemen. Sure he changed it up at the end of 2021 and the line was all-around better. This is the classic example of a coach thinking his scheme is more important than putting his players in the best position to succeed. Kromer has proven here and elsewhere that he can get the most out of his OL by adjusting scheme to their strengths. If you, like I, believe that we have a handful of NFL-caliber OL players on the team then Kromer will get the most out of his men. He will find the best starting 5 and may surprise us with his selections. No matter, he will have the unit playing together with a common focus and playing to their strengths. You will see communication improve across the front and you will see less missed assignments. Fans typically grade players on an individual basis. This is not the way to grade OL play, ever. A Pro Bowl guard as an example, might look like a chump on a line where guys don't understand and communicate their assignments. Guys like Morse, Saffold and Dawkins can be so helpful to Kromer in finding ways to put the best 5 on the field and using them to their strengths. This in-turn will build a bond to help the young guys like Brown and Bates think and move as a unit and not as individuals. When a line thinks and moves together as a unit both before and after the snap, then the sum of the parts is much greater than the individuals. We don't "need" better players. We need a more cohesive unit. I really believe that Kromer is the man who can make that happen. Bobby Johnson just destroyed any cohesiveness that our OL could have ever had by asking guys to dance to a different drummer than they were comfortable with. If Kromer need another piece, I have no doubt he will ask Beane to get it for him.
  8. The cap is in the eyes of the beholder. There are plenty of ways to kick money down the road for someone that is a difference-maker. Camp fodder is not in the top 51, so that doesn't even count.
  9. What was the length? Do tell!
  10. I don’t know about the Bills team speed. I do now know we must have the slowest fan base in the league, after reading the comments here over the past 3-days.
  11. I guess we’ll see where he fits but they took a swing.
  12. Careful, you’re making a mistake choosing your friend here, unless you always want to be on the negative side.
  13. Well you were wrong yet again.
  14. The Jets have to deal with Becton’s weight issue and a generally sour locker room , hoping the young studs don’t fall into the poor culture… tough ask.
  15. and you do a fantastic job, my friend
  16. What are they going to field this season? An all-rookie team?
  17. Too much fantasy football will make you see it that way. Real life in football is very different, and things do not often turn out the way we expect.
  18. More shenanigans to start the day. Whew!
  19. And change your screen name Law something or other. You’ll fit right in.
  20. Matt Corral disagrees with you.
  21. Dan’s illegitimate brother.
  22. For what its worth, his tackling issues seem to be technique related. He can be coached on his technique. He has the desire to be better. I see a guy with a very high ceiling and willing attitude. Plus, he can start out of the gate and will keep getting better with age.
  23. I'm wondering if we'll see another Vrabel kid taking a dump on national TV again.
  24. Interestingly enough, Badol is right almost all of the time. So, yet again he is right about that.
