I like this 4th n 15, but feel the number is off. 10-15% conversion should be the goal.... I don't think 15yards is going to be even close to the right number. No stats in front of me, educated guess on feel.... I'd peg 15yards at ~20ish %. 20yards is 15% 22yards is my sweet spot... 25 is too far, but 20 is like 3rd and 10 after a hold. We see it get converted at an ok'ish rate. Just my opinion

IDK maybe its a good way to kick off some change, maybe let loose a lil. Coach seems to motivate his guys well, but strikes me is pretty uptight. He could embrace it and let his hair down a little. Id think it might serve him to do so more than anyone else. Coaches are walking heart attacks, if you take out the passion and $$ for a second (just play along for a second), it'd be a pretty crappy job honestly. How many of us would want to ACTUALLY fight from punch in - punch out, day after day?? i know, i know, we all work hard. some of us here have more stressful jobs than others... but being an NFL Coach is quite literally, every moment of your day under a microscope. being asked to control things you just CAN NOT 100% control, and its all the time. Compare one of their slow 'off days' to one of our ours on a Friday here or there... 32 jobs on the planet, and how many ppl gunning constantly for one of em. Coaches can be 72yrs and expected to bring more juice to the table, than a sayyyyy, 4 years past playing days meathead like Mike Vrabel? Let alone a few hundred of the most ambitious humans on the planet. Sounds exhausting..... My job has me ready to blow a valve and its nothing like this job. ........my point is, this could be really fun for the fans, for the players, I'd hope McD will take it as a chance to do the same, and show his locker-room the same. I'm not in the locker room so all i can do is make an estimated guess...... i could be completely off

Eh, I get why Sean would turn it down. A distraction can be a fat pair of knocks in a teeny shirt walking by you, or it can be a crack cocaine habit lol its a spectrum. Its hard to preach lip service about 'no distractions' to the team, and then invite a camera crew in. We def didnt sign up for it, theres nothing we can do to change it, so im just gunna embrace it! Have there ever been any significant distractions Hard Knocks itself brought about? Genuinely asking, but probably not. Might give Cook a lil wind in the sails to gripe, but i cant really think of anything else

Im not surprised, hes been in a full grown mans body since HS lol Going from a college dorm/cafeteria to NFL salary diet, with NFL S&C Coaches, NFL Dietitian. Could NFL level chemists be involved? Sure could lol These dudes DNA dictates how their bodies respond to drugs too. Either way good for him, he should get Kincaid in touch with his guy if thats the case LOL

"Cheating" isnt up for debate really, both teams play by it. Now theres the 'is it a football play' question... equally ridiculous question IMO. Its the most 'football' play of all time! I get rugby has a similar thing, but two sports can share a once in a while overlap. Hockey is indoor soccer with a stick. Basketball is hockey with a floating net lol its all based off the same crap really

Absolutely awesome. Criminal that they've ignored the most important position group up until this point IMO. My gripe? Lameeeee name. Makes it sound like a pass blocking only award, when it should highlight the best all around dude between run/pass blocking.

I forgot Fitz and TO had an overlap!!

It's the deep offseason, I check TBD 10xs a day and there is no news/few threads. Dead news cycle time of year sooooo.... The Hollins discussion gave me an idea. Who are your favorite Buffalo Bills who only played here 1 year. Hollins is up there. To dig a Lil deeper, Emmanuel Sanders was fun to have here. I was a kid so I mighttt be misremebering (and breaking my own parameters) but I loveddddd Sam Gash! And on the full opposite side of spectrum Larry Centers! Who ya got?

"The average height of a woman is 5'9" "But my wife is 5'10" Lol wild cards win championships too, does that mean that's *really* the ideal spot to finish

Dudes a nomad. Something about bouncing around makes him happy like Fitz did. Guarantee Mack is beloved in every city he played in. The gimmicky stuff is a nothing, but he's like a Barnaby with big play upside. Enforcer. Bring swag to the rest of the players. Get under other teams skin. One of my favorite one year guys I can remember.

How heavy is the trade off in subbing in a TE thats smaller than a T in the blocking dep't, is my question. I dont hate it, but not sure if i like it. They get the benefit of the doubt but I still like the way we ran it next year! Maybe were preparing for life after Alec Anderson, probably a hard guy to keep rostered ($$) when he could potentially start elsewhere

I agree but when you look at Cinci's Owner, you have to ask: is he more poor or more desperate LOL they should know they aint competing with us in the next 2 years... get what they can where they can get it

Nobody is trading for him without permission to talk to his agent about a contract. Theyre going to want a long term extension somewhere... but if they cant get it. The next best for Trey/Agent is playing out his last year in another uniform.... that's going to hurt Bengals bounty. 1year rental, 31 or 30yrs old, high cap hit even just to play out the year. He's def worth a 4th IMO, might be a few offers for a 3rd rd'er if teams think theyll get a fair shake at negotiating first in offseason.

WARNING! bRo ScIeNcE AHEAD: Me thinks its PED's! Scenario #1 Tendon connect muscle to the bone ---> Tendons are stronger than muscles (but less flexible than muscle) Normal person, doing normal activities is more likely to tear their muscle, bc its the weakest link between muscle, tendon, and bone. ***An imperfect analogy I think of it as sort of like a car's transmission but between muscle/bone*** Scenario #2 Giant man, does crazy unnormal activity (ask Whaley) like run a 4.5 at 295lbs, and smash into others. When muscle gets stronger than tendon (YAY 'chemistry' !) ---> Tendon is now the weakest link between: muscles, tendons, and bones --> Tendon tears 1st It seems like were seeing a chit' ton of these as of late. We can blame it on football/sports. We werent really designed to do this, and a good portion of these injuries are regular sports injuries. You start to see a trend where all the sudden, athletes in every sport are dropping like flies. In last 2 years we have 13 Achilles tears in NFL, to only 7 PED suspensions. Thats without getting into any other tendon tears.... this gon keep happening as guys continue to push themselves past human capabilities, part of the deal NFL PED Suspensions: 2024 - total of 5 players popped 2023 - two 2022 - one 2021 - one (yipeeeeee look how clean the league is hahahaha) ACHILLES TEARS: 2024 - 7 tears 2023 - 6 tears 2022- None 2021 - 1 2020 - 1

When it comes to Bengals Owner vs Anybody.... Its an automatic to side with the anybody. Easily top 5 worst owners, not to mention he's too broke to be an NFL owner in 2025.

Do they ever post cryptically to Twitter?

When will the SEC step in to address blatant market manipulations from hedge funds stealing untold billions from investors? Maybe before a bailout bankrupts the entire country again? How about blatant insider trading from politicians that regulate a specific industry, and turn around and profit from those same industry/companies? "Employees" who steal from their employers do. Executives whose companies steal from any/every one DO NOT. Company will pay a $1m fine for the crimes that brought in $1B profit... nobody goes to jail.

Looks like his agent is leaking through Schefter that the team has cut off contract communication. This gon' git uglyyyy

Yooooo, if anyone can find this, Id loveeeee to see it. Im assuming other teams have versions of these now. Anybody else find another teams 'embedded' thats worth watching? PLEASEEEEEEEE

Im on the same side as you, but citing this article is weak LOL it really doesnt say much at all. AI garbage...

Dont let this place poopoo on your opinion. I remember dealing with exactly this with Bernard

Cod was the best return man I can remember since McGhee? Seems like it. Thought he was a top 5-10 returner in league last year. Is Shenault in that realm, cause I cant picture it. Hed have to blow the doors off Cod in TC to win that job id imagine, cause if its close you bring back the familiar guy who played well. Am I missing on something?

Heres what I'll say. I moved to NC in 2020 and had the ticket for 2 years because having a reliable Bills game experience was a non-negotiable. Year 1 went OK.... Year 2 AWFULLLLLL. In a pinch during those several games that were jacked up on Sunday ticket, I used a stream service on Firestick..... my Firestick guy was infinitely more reliable than SundayTicket which I paid ~$500 for. I kept my eye on the Firestick and it outperformed Sunday Ticket all year. Tried it through Sabres season, no issues. Every PPV fight, boom! I pay about $30/mth, and have the equivalent of Sunday Ticket for all sports, including every UFC/Boxing. If you have the means of trying a Firestick guy, you WILL NOT REGRET IT! And I regretted the quality of the muchhhhhhh more expensive package in Sunday Ticket

He was addition by subtraction, as a "#2".... I pillaged dude here for years. HOWEVER, if his market is as expected (not hot), i would be open to him coming back as a personnel/situational chess piece. His hands absolutely suck, but hes a deep ball trick pony (At least was before his injury this year, what was it again?). That could've been helpful as a depth and situational type player. Games where he doesnt see the field, and games where he sees a decent amount of snaps on the outside. Poo-poo me all you want, but he couldve been a helpful piece last season in AFCCG vs Chiefs, even as a decoy/field opener

Bro, I dont think the Steelers FO is this dumb. We saw this EXACT scenario play out with Jets. Complete team minus the QB (admittedly tough spot to plug). Jets went full "I'll give $10 tmrw for $1 today". They had a young group of killers. Not only did Rodgers help them implode on the field, they detonated what should've been an extended window of contending. Now all those rookies from their huge draft are coming up on needing contracts, they'll lose half them, and they didnt even walk away with a WildCard to show for it. Im not trading an extended 4-5 year window, for 1 serious run (even if it was guaranteed by a Genie) PERIOD. But im especially not making that trade to acquire a guy with a mangled body & mind, thats going to result in 9 & 8 season and an IR trip anyways. I guess they are competition so i should be rooting for it to happen, but damn thatd be a serious implication on Steelers FO being completely out of touch. Its basically: Raw dog and fall in love with a diseased stripper, for one night vs Love your wife I can understand one seeming excited, but man, this is an easy proposition to say no to
