  1. I can't get here. Only way I trade him is a p4p swap and a zone cb, but that sounds unlikely. We knew what he was, nothings changed in 1 year. DEVELOP DEVELOP DEVELOP!!!! For now, find ways to get him on the field in situational hybrid zone/press. I'd be furious at a trade because we aren't getting chit, and we have no clue what we have. Major indictment on this staff if you throw up your hands and admit you can't develop the guy, or use him situational. Fireable offense to me just based on poor communication and draf capital usage. McD was aware of his strengths enough to have him on their first rd board. Beane isn't pulling the trigger without acknowledgement the staff can coach him up. Has the physical tools and is a cerebral player, MAKE IT WORK, OR HELL TRYYYYYY. Unbelievable
  2. Looks like Morse played 1Q maybe? Def glad to hear Edwards playing nicely. Pretty awesome to have improved starter, andddddd have the LG backup be better than last years starter as bonus
  3. too much sun today, and reading this melted my brain lol i too did not get to watch, but from the extended 10min highlights on youtube (very limited obv), it looked like the OL played well? Anybody wanna give a run down of what they saw out of Edwards, Torrence, and Brown? Loooks like they got a few more drives then Josh
  4. Heard she joined a biker gang though. knocks still look aight
  5. You're telling me, i bet $5k on the Vikings without telling mine! What an upset by the Bills!
  6. What do you want him to say? *Dealer on the lot* "this cars been a lemon, transmission is going, they've been going up in flames for fender benders. We'll need that payment in cash"
  7. I wish this didnt get moved to Off the Wall! Whos everybody have for college this weekend?
  8. Drowning. Hanging. Electrocution. Hung by ankles on a line and smashed with a bat like a pinata. The fighting is bad enough, dogs fighting is atleast 'somewhat' natural. Torturing animals in creative fashion for fun, is demented. Had it been done with a bolt or tap behind the ear to put them out of their misery, maybe there's a touch more empathy for the guy. Oh, and the killings weren't always putting down a dog gravely injured. At times it was torturing dogs to death, who had never even fought.... because they weren't aggressive enough. Dude tortures animals for fun. If that isn't setting off alarm bells I dunno what will.
  9. Remember what he did to us on Thanksgiving (or maybe weekend before) 2 years ago? Remember the teams we did not want to draw: indy/cle/Tennessee. Our personnel does not match well against the run. Actually most nfl s teams don't have great personnel to stop the run. Teams have been loading up on LBs that have gotten smaller/quicker to defend against the pass. We're seeing a few teams double down on the run to take advantage of this. Now those teams^^ have had to do it out of necessity with mediocre QBs, but I think the trend continues to grow a bit. If you're not passing well, and defenses are qued in to stopping the pass with smaller defenses... why not be the outlier and pound the rock, i.e. Giants. In no way do I think the importance of run game will ever be what it was even 5 years ago, but i think that gameplan continues to trend up the next few years
  10. If he needs another half season or season to grow into zone, I'm fine with it. In the mean time he's a nice chess piece for pressing Kelce, Tyreek, Chase. Wish we'd find a way to get him involved with some hybrid man/zone schemes like were going to need for the receivers listed above. Also, great piece to have on blitzing plays
  11. damn, we wouldnt pony up anything better than a 5th? i wouldve offered Booger and a 5th, or a 5th that converts to a 4 based on playing time
  12. I just dont understand how last year he was good enough to start. He got hurt 2nd Q of game 2, game 1 was an absolute monsoon if im remembering right. so he hasnt really played, no matter how u slice it major, major scouting problems. No way he should be behind darnold. u cant give up what they gave up for him and not find a way to get him in the game. develop him in practice, hell, create an interesting run option package to get him on the field
  13. This stinks of old guy 'athletes make too much' attitude, while completely ignoring the DEMAND and ability to generate that money. Usually this voice thinks they're standing up to the big man, when in reality, they're standing up for the enormous man (billionaires, with a B). "That's what a contract is", nonsense. What happens if a player looks like ass, does the team just pay out huge $$ while they're buried on depth chart? Nope! They cut them. It's a two way street. If a contract stinks, for anybody, the reality is one side or the other will alter it. If teams want to get players to honor their full contract no matter what, then they can talk to the NFLPA about fully guaranteed contracts.... oh wait, that won't happen in a billion years. You're arguing for the billionaires to have the advantage of a one way street lol 🤡
  14. If we think we can coach him up I be interested. Be great to have a backup with similar skills etc as Josh, barkeley and allen are nothing like 17, we completely change the offense. he'd be great for scout team offense. And again if you can coach him up, find a way to showcase him, could lead to a nice trade package. There's a lot of ifs there, but if he's available cheap, there should be interest from us
  15. Riddick has had legit looks at him as a GM. ESPN sucks, but hes one of the good guys
  16. First reaction was maybe this hurts them some, but now that I think about it, it likely helps them. Retiring at 28, at this time of year, means either: he was playing like absolute poop and was facing a cut. OR He doesn't love the game anymore. Hard to picture that being the case if he was looking sharp out there. Either of those scenarios and it's a bad contract that they just got out of. They lose some talent this year, but are better off next year with $$$
  17. Cap didnt grow as much as normal from the covid year... the next 2 years were modest bumps, I think next season really jumps to finally catch up to where it was trending pre-covid Agreed, but cant see why he would sign that lol he has all the leverage in any extension talk. If we come to the table to extend its because we need the cap room, not because we're overly worried about adding years. Hes not getting cut, so from his perspective, why would he sign anything that moves backwards, when its BUFF needing the favor. He'd just say nah, and leave the table (*never thought id type that sentence)
  18. Think Epenesa has more value on the streets. Would be willing to part with him, and a pick to sweeten it if the right OT was out there (seems like ARZ has two with Beachum and Josh Jones)... we also have communicated with them a decent amount this past offseason (DHop) so hopefully theres some mutual rapport/respect there. Either one of those would be real nice additions For whaaaat? Older guy who hit his (low) ceiling already?
  19. 1,000% agree. Thing is there are so few elite enough to meet that standard. I'd add Vita Vea to the list. Dude is a game wrecker
  20. I will say in the last 2 seasons weve seen a bit of an uptick (albeit from an all time low) in RB's being relevant. The league is always trying to counter trends. Were seeing more nickel and dime defenses then ever, the Brandon Spikes LB'er is extinct, and it seems like LB'er cores are getting smaller and faster, to account for heavy passing league. NE last year and Indy/TN/CLE the year before are two teams that had major emphasis on the run game. I wont claim to know if that trend continues to grow. I do remember 2 years ago not wanting to draw one of Indy/TN/Cle in wild card because of exactly this..... just food for thought
  21. Serious question here. What are the different ways *NFL* HCs handle things like undisciplined penalties from players? -Can't fine them, don't know that'd be a good option even if you could -There's running laps. Pretty universal, but many would think that's soft. (Runs small risk of belittling players, i.e. Urban Meyer) -Can obviously reduce playing time especially RBs WRs, but what about OL? Hard to bench (and a bit nuclear this early) a DDawk for a series, cutting of nose to spite face. -Position coach/Hc can call them out during film I know each situation calls for different options, but am I missing anything? How do players get held accountable? Anybody a little more in the know have some nuance to add? At this point I'm just as curious from an overall league perspective, not just Buffalo
  22. He was a 7th rd pick and has been an above average depth piece. It's early pre season, you probably weren't even watching the game, it was national media watching who probably were hearing their first media updates of the new season about him. There's been a major spike in people taking CPR Classes. Did you come home from work early and find him in your bed? If not, you should seriously chill out. Good grief dude
  23. I'm sure we also suspect this and, as always, should be coached up on this ahead of time. Sure certain players get away more than others, but the refs have to worry about their jobs and league perception too. The easiest way to lose is to come out and play like choir boys, while they stretch out our WRs jerseys. Come out aggressive too, and be ready to switch up if whistles come out heavy
  24. Meh, while it does restrict somewhat, whats stopping a team from giving the Watson type contract, $1m this year, then pump up the next 2-4 years of contract + GUARANTEED $$
  25. Curious if this could happen.... NOT even talking about here, but was a spit-balling take from Cover2. Say no teams were willing to trade and give a new contract, is it possible a team could offer to put in writing that they would NOT franchise tag him... just as the next best incentive for him as opposed to a new contract. Just, we want your services for the year, we cant afford you, but to keep you happy/motivated, you'll get a chance to chase $$ as an Unrestricted next year? Would just be interesting to see that precedent set, because anytime we see this situation most of the top dawg teams are immediately ruled out because of cap concerns. Basically, can a team even offer a 'no franchise tag' clause? Has that happened before?
