I dunno, my feeling is that they’ll still hold it somewhere else. It’s a great opportunity to build a presence in an ancillary market.

I’ll echo Sills and add Tyree Jackson. If he shows enough for OBD to like him, they might not risk putting him on the practice squad. Not to make this a stable of dark horses, but also add WR Nick Easley (catches everything and Daboll seems to like the small shifty type) and K Chase McLaughlin (80% FG, 79/79 XPs).

Gronk could probably use a trip or two to DENT

That first picture looks like it’s about to be a body catch... I dunno...

What concerns me re: when his contract is up is that McDermott and Beane come from a place that decided to let Josh Norman walk. Different players, but I think White is a guy for whom they should probably pony up.

IF they get a hand on him

It’s a gadget role, not the savior of the franchise.

His whole thing is that he only had a few carries per game.

How do you explain his 6 ypc as a Bill?

I never said TE. I said a Brad Smith-like role given his speed and athleticism. Jackson averaged 4.0 ypc or more in 2016 and 2017, which I’m guessing was because he had to rely on his legs not his arm, whereas he averaged below 3 ypc in 2018 when he had almost 100 more passing attempts than years prior. Point being: he can carry the rock when asked.

Call me crazy, but yes I’d like (i) as varied an offense as possible, and (ii) to make our opponents have to work harder to gameplan against us.

Not saying he took the league by storm, but his 6 yards per carry weren’t bad, and again my main reason for liking the idea is to force opposing defenses to take time out of their week to prepare for something we would likely run only 1-2x per game. As I said above, Brad Smith averaged 6 yards per carry while here. If (admittedly a big if) Jackson can do what Smith did, then I do consider 6 ypc something to cause worry. He wouldn’t.

A lot of negativity about the idea, but I think 1-2x per game having him out there as a sub-package Brad Smith type could be useful. Jackson ran in the 4.5s, right? I’m all for making opposing defenses have to gameplan more.

Dunno if I want to give up a 1st and former 1st round pick for an overrated player. Maybe Lawson & a 1st for Clowney & a 3rd/4th, but doubt they’d do that either.

Depends on the hour of the day, might go to work in the 30s/40s and come home in the 60s/70s.

Absolute highest I’d go is 2nd and Lawson for Clowney. He’s good, but he’s no surefire 16-game starting superstar. Regardless of what we think of the prospects for the draft that’s 11 months away, a 1st is too high imho for a player with some question marks.

What’s the story on Crabtree? Injuries?

Why not just trade Shady for AB straight up?

I feel like at least 1-2 times per game I saw Hughes go untouched around the edge just to have the QB step up into a clean interior pocket.

Nah, I went back and looked at his tape and Gore has 0 Avengers spoilers. He’s good in my book.

Agreed. You trot out a 4WR set of Foster, Brown, Beasley, and Jones, and one of those guys at the very least should be able to school another team’s CB4. It’s all about match-ups. Calvin Johnson was an incredible WR1, but how many rings did he retire with? Did Brady win the Super Bowl with Moss or Edelman?

I know they say RT, but just feel like it makes more sense for Ford to end up at RG. I’m hoping what we end up with is: Dawkins - Spain - Morse - Ford - Nsekhe

Fitzpatrick. Then Taylor. Then Barkley.

Love the Tyree pick-up!
