Capco

Assuming neither had been waived, it seems they would both be able to renegotiate after the 2019 season since 2018 was their first of 2 years. But since both have been waived, it doesn't matter anyway. Good to know. Having a plethora of talent that your organization scouted and acquired is a good problem for Beane to have.

Gotcha. Thanks a bunch!

Ah okay, for some reason I thought that only applied if they were drafted. But didn't this already happen with Foster?

After 2019 is too early?

Absolutely. That's why I don't think they deserve to be extended just yet. The NFL is rife with 1 year wonders. But if they put up consecutive years of production at a high level and stay healthy, they've earned an extension imo.

I'd love to see Wallace and Foster extended long term, perhaps after the 2019 season. They have decent cap space after sacrificing 2018 to purge the bad contracts. I'd rather the Bills use that cap space to resign homegrown talent than use it to make splashes in free agency for unfamiliar players.

I mean, I guess civics is something our country as a whole is lacking right now. Is that what this is about?

AFC West was dog poo for years too, around the time Denver had Jake Plummer and Trent Green had to retire. NFC West was bad for a while too. One year the Seahawks got to the playoffs by winning the division with a 7-9 record lol.

More like the Roach Motel.

Ditto. That's exactly how I see it.

Didn't he become a boxer because some bully ***** with his pigeon?

Under.

One thing I've always wondered about in this regard: if the difference between the offense and defense is big enough, could it actually be detrimental in practice? If the offense rarely produces against the defense in practice, how does that carry over to a productive offense on Sunday? There's still something to be said for the mental side of football, and part of that mental confidence is being successful at practice and then translating it to success on the field.

Daboll upset he had to run a lap hahaha.

They look like a true "team", almost as if they are family. Idk how else to describe it. The culture really has changed.

I was wondering if I heard that right.

That's very interesting. As someone who's never played anything more than backyard football, I never realized how much is accounted for with each defensive play. Reading those responsibilities and alignments for each play really helps I also have newfound appreciation for the notion of overly complicated defensive playbooks and how some players have a hard time digesting theses plays. It's like a different language. My first reaction after looking at the page count was that this was "fairly small, can't be much here." After reading just the first couple pages though, it's jam-packed with information. Can anyone explain what is happening on page 3 for example? Is "Under Sam Dog" a defensive concept? Are the subsections titled "White" "Twin" and "Ace" just examples of the concept as it is applied to different offensive formations?

Fwiw, the Pats regularly play musical chairs with their offensive line and still manage to perform at a high level.

Do any of the WRs play special teams? If we keep 7, teams play will probably be essential to the selection.

We can't keep giving stuff like this an excuse. That type of behavior is wrong in any sports setting no matter how you slice it. If you keep making excuses for impulsive people, they stay impulsive for the rest of their lives.

Didn't Dick Vermeil do this when he was a head coach? Hold dinners for each position group throughout the year? He even had his own vineyard.

There will be a time when no one left alive remembers where pumping their brakes came from. Does it transcend from analogy to idiom after that point?

It drives me nuts how many people confuse QBR (a proprietary stat created by ESPN) with Passer Rating. Like the OP. To your point though, I agree about passer rating. It's entirely arbitrary. In order to get a 158.3, you need to have at least 77.5% completion percentage and 12.5 yards per attempt. Why 77.5%? Why 12.5? Just because? It's very silly on its own, but it's still a useful "at a glance" stat.

I loved when they just started going into the nitty gritty details about all their throwing nuances. It really puts the whole coaching emphasis on mechanics into perspective. Very insightful.

Run now, quick! Save yourself!
