  1. I saw Young beat the Bills at the Ralph as a rookie w the Oilers. He did it with his legs. His later tryout w the Bills ended in preseason as he would not run the O, called what he wanted. Yeh, carzy.
  2. Well, Tyrod could run for sure, but Allen is the only one who can knock a DB out of the game by taking him head on. Saw that year 1, and don't want to see it again. But, when Josh gets loose in the open field, he is more like a TE than a running back, and just as hard to bring down.
  3. Yes, some of the time. But, the threat of Josh busting up the gut makes the D play certain ways. Just need to capitalize on that adjustment. Cut Joshes carries in that situation in half would be good though.
  4. I don't like the adjustable. Fitted is right for me...I will pay more, but its hard to find for me. I have a large head and many times I find none.....so I insist on trying on before buying. No online for me unless I have one already from that source.
  5. OJ was great in Buffalo. His troubles were much later. Leave him on the wall, not worth the effort and the bad feelings to remove.
  6. I got a look at the new Vegas stadium under construction last June. $6 Billion dollars, and located very near to down town. The locals were scratching their heads a little at the cost, but funded by big money investors as stated above. Another fear of the locals was that the Raiders' gangster mafia following will come from Oakland and ruin the Vegas city image for those who come in for the game supporting the visiting team. If going to the game, plan on a taxi, not Uber, and taxi's are the superior ride near the Strip in Vegas. (less cost and more available, Uber pickups are harder to find imho based on my week at WSOP)
  7. With the shoulder problems, Cam may be done.
  8. Kaep and Belicheck seems like bad chemistry to me. So, that's a don't sign argument. And, Kaep was lousy in 2016 when we saw him at New Era. However, I view the Pats as QB talent light and I think there will be another signing or two even to provide alternatives. Likely not Kaep though. Maybe a practice squad guy....like Davis Webb after the Bills cut him, say. And, that would give t he Bills playbook to the Pats, although the Bills don't play the Pats until later in the season.
  9. Dennison was a clunker. Daboll was year 2. Everybody has to iterate some to get a good mix.
  10. Was any football discused?
  11. Its a tough call because these are the same guys who kept the guy from Pitt and started him a few times. Lets hope they can see whats going on here this time. (Peterman)
  12. Not Jarious Byrd for sure. I had to look at Wikepedia to see who he was........
  13. Has Gilmore recovered from his lack of desire to hit on running plays? He was a wuss the last couple of years here......Any consideration of that fault in this ranking?
  14. If hee developes instincts and learns to plug the run, he will be all Pro. Right now, he can chase them down with the best, but, Chris Spielman like run plugger he is not. (yes, I remember Spielman)
  15. with the potential of no fans at games this year and the $5Billion loss of revenue for the league, I wonder about the cap situation going forward. One year deals are going to abound, with the cap , perhaps, going down next year. If it can go up, it can go down. If you got signed , you were smart or lucky (Poyer Spain come to mind) TV bucks for the NFL are big, but , $5 Billion + is a big hole in the revenue stream.
  16. Yes, he came from Wyoming.....not the SEC and didn't face the strongest competition in college. He has almost 2 seasons under his belt now as a pro...and, imho, is still on the learning curve. His head is right, and I think the stability of the coaching staff and his O line is a big factor. It is also true those folks also will improve this year...Daboll and company, and the O line as well. Adding Diggs and a better 2d running back will also help.( although Gore was a real pro for many games much to my surprise based on his age.)
  17. In Japan, they use the parking lots for shopping malls as drive in theaters after the malls close. Also works imho.
  18. It would mean he has earned it. I could live with that......
  19. That would make his price drop? likely not.... Yes, but I also am looking for his former safety instincts to kick in and get a few picks......he is worth watching for various factors. He is, of course, a fitness freak, and when right is what we want out there.
  20. Allen needs to improve again this year. But, so far, the improvement curve is encouraging. My bet is he gets better. Franchise QB, maybe not next year, but, still going to be headed that way imho.
  21. I don't see this guy as that guy....I mean the 35 mil man. And, I see the cap going down as long as there isn't a vaccine....meaning lost $5 bil of revenue to the league with no fans in the stands. The public health govs will see to that. I think Dak better grab this now, as later might be less. This virus thing is gonna take some years to clear....I wont' touch a vaccine the first year......I don't want to be the canary in the coal mine so to speak. Others will feel as I do , I am not bullet proof and neither are many others.
  22. Not clear how to pull this off, but they will try. And, some version of this idea may well be part of it. Just another enhancement on the face mask idea that was new 60 years ago. Such innovations won't be perfect, but could have some moderate effectiveness imho. got to do something about the oxygen and water bottle thing on the sidelines, though. Huddles? well, a lot to work through. I won't bet against the NFL wrt the players playing. Now, fans....thats a problem with the regulators in the game here. Lots of different states, counties going to have a voice.
  23. Ahhh...two oranges....squeezes the cup to hold one in to make the cup appear empty. Oh well......
  24. Leadership is where you find it, there is no formula....Steven A is wrong here. Kingsbury is one example that has yet to play out as a correct selection. But, John Lynch, the GM in San Fran 49's, is a good one. He never had a job in the NFL other than as a player. Everybody thought ownership was nut s to hire him, but, he has done a great job. There is no "road" to senior positions. Those candidates are "where you find them", not a specific place. GM's and HC's also have to have the confidence of the ownership. That is no small thing to accomplish...and speaks to that ill defined entity called chemistry. Could it be that minority candidates might have trouble generating that kind of relationship with some owners? Yes, I think so. No set of rules is going to solve that problem. Now, Buffalo hired McD without looking elsewhere...other than Anthony Lynn who was acting HC at the time. but, AL was flawed as a candidate with being from the Rex era.....performance has now shown AL has been competent w the Chargers, so the Bills might have done OK with him. Of course, McD was an all star pick, and getting Bean to join was just as good. Remember, the NFL teams are privately held...not corporations (except GB) and the owners call all the shots they want to call.
  25. On the positive side, salary cap relief for a few games.
