Correct, so you have to weigh how much you'll want to use a team later, combined with the odds that it will even matter that late into the season if everyone else is out.

There was a book that came out 2016ish? called Grit, written by a psychologist on what makes people able to persevere through adversity. I don't know if I can recall a plater who has more of this, than Josh. So glad he is our QB.

I'd add to that another thing I don't see changing is a good working relationship between Josh and McBeane. People can fault Rodgers all they want, but the sentiment of "You didn't take my opinion into account at all when making personal decisions" is understandable. I have to think Beane and McD will be a lot more open and upfront with Josh which in turn should substantially help their relationship.

I know it's pff, but at least they list cuts by teams and how many snaps someone had last season. On numbers alone Cleveland cut a guy who might be worth a glance. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-roster-cuts-tracker-2021

Both Cam and Beas had to miss practice time too because of that, however Beas's wasn't really his fault while I'm pretty sure Cam messed up protocols. If Cam has already caused himself to be unavailable then that is a very strong reason for him to get the axe.

I went and looked at the Steelers message board, since y'know maybe we should look at more than one opinion. No one has really mentioned the Bills yet other than a few saying that they would need all hands on deck in order to stand a chance against us.

Probably because many here don't like Addison and wish that it was him who was traded...whether or not that was realistic.

You and me both

Surprise: Bam Johnson traded Surprise 53: Bobby Hart, at least for week 1

Gotta go with the former president every time.

Yeah, they're also ignoring the fact that Ford played great in the first two preseason games. I'm not sure which Ford we'll get during the regular season, but it's not like he has been absolutely terrible all camp.

Anything in particular he did that stood out to you?

Kind of matches with what we see from him on game day, right? He positive and encouraging until he's not. He seems like a fiery dude who can be goaded into responses more inline with what happened with Fairburn.

Based on the timeline of when the players returned isn't likely that Milano is already vaccinated? He and Klein returned earlier than the others though I guess that could be due to other factors.

Darnold looks decent so far, not great, not terrible.

Definitely, but I think they're operating with the "two is one and one is none," mindset. With Tre we're fine, but we are one unfortunate play away from being screwed. Other positions have better depth.

As our team currently stands, it is TE, right?

And that is different from the idea that he will retire...how? The NFL will utilize it's liberties to require vaccination, Beasley will exercise his liberty to then retire. Other players will exercise their liberties to get vaccinated and continue to play. Strange that you single out "some people."

There's more to the equation. It's more along the lines of: Trade value of Trubisky vs. Insurance of Trubisky + 3rd rounder that should be awarded when he signs elsewhere

Pretty sure this is the sentiment McD has expressed too. The idea that Addison SHOULD look more like his 10 sack seasons because of a deeper rotation. We'll see though. As great as McBeane have been they aren't infallible.

Definitely great for the Giants though who have the Bears first and fourth round pick.

To add to that we really could have used a player like him during the Chiefs game. I think having speed in the backfield will really help us if teams dare us to beat them with the short passing game, draws, etc...

I wonder what the chances are that they would slide Ford over to T and use Ike as guard if Williams or Dawkins gets injured.

Always appreciate these posts, Gunner. Ford, Feliciano and Ike were all active. From what you have seen, and assuming what you saw matches what the Bills have seen in the games and TC, who would you put on a starting OL during the season?
