I wonder if, with an upgraded O-line, DiMarco gets used in a blocking role for Shady the way Jerome Felton was supposed to do for us, like Felton did with Adian Peterson in Minnesota? Peterson made a lot of yards running behind Felton. Shady needs a good supporting cast to be effective (like he had in '16. '17). Perhaps we'll see DiMarco take more of that role? I also have this weird desire to see McCoy take a lateral from Gore, or visa versa, at some point during the season. I know that probably won't happen, but it'd be cool to see.

And also, since there’s almost no contact in training camp anymore and almost less in preseason games, the only way Shady gets cut is if he shows no mental or emotional interest in playing anymore. I highly doubt that’ll be the case, but I don’t know the man personally.

Now there’s a Billsy way of doing things!

Love McKenzie. Love his attitude, his energy. He had great burst. He was an instant upgrade when we brought him in last season. I really hope he makes the team because I am a fan. But, I suspect (and he probably does, too) that between Roberts and Beasley, his role might be diminished, and he is likely on the bubble. Some others on here have suggested that he is more suited to Daboll’s offense than some of the other bubble players he is competing with. We’ll see, I guess. But, I imagine that when it comes to the #4 and up, they are looking primarily at special teams ability, and growth potential, probably in that order.

That’s really the same as saying, “field position is useless in today’s NFL,” which is, of course, ludicrous.

We are so easy to troll in the offseason.

It has always struck me that PFF really only looks at numbers. This is valuable as a resource, but if one only looks at numbers, you will only gather a very incomplete picture. This ranking looks like what happens when you only consider numbers. But, football is so much more than that.

I remember doing rails in the ‘80s. Good times.

I suppose this may be true. If it is, I would give Perry the edge as he has been a special teams standout during his career— not just in kick returns, but in versatility. And, I would guess that when it came to offense, he would outperform Yeldon there, too.

Gay sex. But, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

There are quite a few on here, and in the media, that are just assuming that Yeldon makes the 53, and I don't see it. He really doesn't seem like the McD type process guy. But, however you slice it, and regardless of where he was drafted, 465 rushing yards in four years is unspectacular. And, apparently, his attitude sucks. https://www.al.com/sports/2018/12/jaguars-tom-coughlin-scolds-disrespectful-tj-yeldon-leonard-fournette.html

It's a fine line between "inaccurate," and "objective."

Seems accurate enough to me...

The thing of it is that Ronin will egregiously, and willfully misrepresent things—stats, plays, records, etc.— to push his crusade. He’s utterly intellectually dishonest. And he’s constantly pushing the narrative that those who disagree with him are “taking it personally,”or “can’t handle discussion,” or “sorry you can’t get on with your life” (ha actually said that to somebody!) All of which would lead me to believe that he really wants to get under your skin. Its at the top of his agenda.

Can’t argue with that!

Nice how this worked out! Gotta say, though, I think even Dilfer would agree that he ain’t an all time great.

Welcome to the club, Joe!

just stop...

Gotta make sure to leave out the week 17 game, though...

I believe that every year during this painfully slow, offseason time, when arguments are getting increasingly nasty, someone starts a thread about Chicken wings.

When will Ronin arrive to turn this into an Allen bashing thread?

I didn’t even know that Ranch vs Blue Cheese on wings was a debate East if the Miss.

I would like to try that. But, blue cheese on wings!

Can’t see him getting fired until after the 2020 season, unless the team absolutely tanks before then.

Out of curiosity, do you live East, or West of the Mississippi?
