Hoecht and Ogunjobi 6 game suspension for PEDs
LABILLBACKER replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree but I can't wrap my head around the timing? Why doesn't the NFL release PED results well before FA? That way you really discourage players from taking them in the first place. And every grown man is responsible for knowing what's going into his body. If the team has this info and chooses to sign the player (Hoecht) then that's the risk they (Beane) take. But at least they have that choice. Beane was blindsided by Ogunjobi and was kinda stuck sticking with him. -

Unless they schedule KC, Cincy, Baltimore Philly four out of the first 6 games. Now that would be Billsy.... -

The league I think should have a responsibility to release all PED suspensions before early negotiations begin. I agree Hoecht's contract should've been lower to reflect this suspension. Yesterday was unfortunate and given a day to reflect and listening to this presser, my anger at Beane has diminished substantially. Maybe this event forces us to be aggressive at DL in this DL heavy draft. -

So his coaches are asking him to not get sacks. Run support, TFL's and pressures are more important. You do realize a qb like Mahomes can still complete a td pass under pressure. In the history of the NFL, I've yet to see a qb complete a td pass while sacked. Rousseau does not have the pass rush tool box to ever get to 10 sacks, let alone 12+. I really hate this take. On to the topic at hand and as @YoloinOhio implied, maybe if we do go hard on DL with the first several picks this will be a blessing in disquise. Hopefully an appeal lowers the games. -

Dude you're really lowering the bar for your opinion of our DL over the last several years. I'll go on record as saying both Ed and Greg are overpaid based on their production. Maybe sacks are so yesterday, less nuance. The current analytical "lennys" love their qb hits and pressures. That's how we stop 15 until it doesn't work. DQ was worthless last year. AJE is the reincarnation of Kelsay. The bottom line is we're never winning a SB without at least 1 elite game wrecking player on the DL. Rams had Donald. KC has Jones. The Eagles and Howie find D players who fight. Groot in that last playoff game looked like Diggs in his last playoff game. I appreciate the excellent moves BB has made but he's struggled with DL. -

When it comes to players on the DL, Beane has struggled. He's respectable with the other positions and finding mid round diamonds. But his entire career is marked with selective failures at DE / DT. Hoecht better be one hoecht of a player to justify eating 6 games right out of the gate. He's not a jag nor is he a 2M/ yr player. This is impactful. -

Cool, a 3rd NFL BIlls rule that will be changed. We will be the founding fathers of all new "Bills got screwed" rules this decade. The OT rule The new technology ball spot rule The full disclosure PED rule -

Pretty much everybody other than Josh is rotational. Are you OK with paying 2 new FA"'s nearly $8M each for playing only 65% of the regular season? I would rather put that combined $16M toward a pass rusher who's not getting pegged for enhancements. If they were not expected to start, them why would BB use so much cap on them? And on top of this the NFL should ethically have some obligation to disclose PED offenders BEFORE FA starts. -

They talk up all this character bs and then this happens. What an embarrassing situation for this front office. Somewhere Josh is just rolling his eyes. -

Apparently decent his first year in Pittsburgh but absolutely terrible in Houston. Odd signing by BB?
