  1. Greg Mabin. Hyde can play some CB, too.
  2. My guess would be Wright, with Gaines possibly overtaking him at some point.
  3. You're welcome. Catches of 58 yards (TD - EDIT: I guess he was called down by contact, but still a deep ball) and 33 yards this preseason, so maybe there's something there. Gives us some semblance of that deep threat many claim we lack (although he ran a 4.51).
  4. Maybe that's how the curse gets broken. Just stop feeling like the Bills while still being the Bills.
  5. Character. Process. It starts with one.
  6. http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/kaelin-clay?id=2552651 OVERVIEW Played one year at Utah after transferring from Mt. San Antonio Junior College where he was named first-team all-conference with 16 touchdowns. Made four, different All-American teams as a return specialist in 2014 with Utah and was named First-team All-Pac 12 as a return specialist. Finished season with a punt return average of 15.0 and three touchdowns while returning one kick for a touchdown and a 24.9 average. Signed with Cal out of Long Beach Poly HS. Redshirted in 2010 and left the program for academic reasons according to then head coach Jeff Tedford. Played running back and receiver his senior season of high school and finished third in the state in the 100M and sixth in the 200M in 2010. Video of Clay releasing a sure touchdown before crossing the end zone against Oregon went viral in 2014. ANALYSIS STRENGTHS Very good straight-line speed. Decorated sprinter in high school. Stepped up and showed improvement in his lone season at Utah after teammate Dres Anderson's season-ending knee injury. Able to make first defender miss in space. When given a shot to play vertically, took advantage by winning over the top twice against Oregon. One of the more dangerous return men in college football as both punt returner and kick returner. Posted three punt return touchdowns and a 100 yard kickoff return this year. Has great feel for keeping kick returns on their designed track and slashing at the right time. Had disastrous "fumble" against Oregon when he released ball before crossing the plain of the goal line, where Oregon picked it up and went other way for a touchdown. Bounced back from that and showed mental toughness. WEAKNESSES Smaller receiver with very limited catch radius. Had four drops this season, including focus drops when trying to make catch near the sideline. Hips don't open much causing short, tight strides and flatness with some of his routes. Lacks sudden feet to gain expected separation on outs. Film filled with hitches, bubble screens and short outs and lacking in more route sophistication. Upright into his breaks and out of them. Started at Cal, but left the program to "improve his academic situation", according to then coach Jeff Tedford. BOTTOM LINE Slot receiver lacking suddenness to get open against man coverage underneath, but with a second gear to find separation on deep throws. Clay's size and playmaking ability as a receiver aren?t going to do much for most teams, but his return ability gives him a shot at making a team.
  7. Waiting for the "Patriots have signed Brandon Reilly to their active roster" news to pop up...
  8. If we're going to get a QB3, then go Thad Lewis.
  9. That Dennison connection...
  10. Pronounces all the "f"s and "s"s the same way.
  11. This is true. Still, people are talking (I think) more about their opinions of his actions than whether the NFL or a given team can/should do something to prevent the actions.
  12. That's what I was asking of the poster I quoted.
  13. Not saying there is, but I am saying he's got the freedom to wear them. Then I asked if it was just a picture of a pig with no police reference, if that would still be offensive?
  14. Still expression. What if it was pictures of pigs with no reference to police?
  15. Oooh facts! Also, fly logo. I like the incorporation of "C", "K", and "7" together.
  16. Yeah trading him within the division would have went over well...
  17. That cuts both ways, right?
  18. 70% of statistics are made up on the spot. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_(The_Legend_of_Zelda)
  19. It's just so complex that it's above us all. If the NFL ever changes to have 12 men on the field, then he'll be considered a visionary ahead of his time.
  20. There are technically codes containing requirements for keeping displayed flags "properly illuminated" or something like that, but I don't think they have any legal teeth.
  21. I think both systems are intertwined and very much relevant. The socio-economic system and criminal justice system definitely affect each other all the time. Regardless, in the context of football, whether it's this system or that system or both or neither, whether they're protesting racial inequality or the reasonableness of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as a deity, a person retains their right to nonviolent, free expression.
  22. Talk about flawed. I have no clue what you are saying.
