  1. I feel like sophomore slumps occur to other skill positions like RB/WR

     

    Allen needs to show much improvement because there's much improvement to be made.  If he has a sophomore slump he'd be the quality of a fringe starter in the league

    I'd be very surprised. I don't think he's a Beane/McDermott type of guy. 

     

    1) The public dust up he had with HC Major Applewhite. Not totally blaming Oliver, but a team rule is a team rule regardless of who you are.

     

    2) Reports are that his family had him sit out, with fake injuries, games because they wanted to "protect their investment". Do you want a "me" guy or a "we" guy. I'd be curious to know the story about him having a knee injury but was jumping, catching footballs before the game.

     

    3) Have a feeling that the Bills have something working with the Falcons.

    id sit out too if I already have established myself as a top pick.  The NCAA does nothing to protect them so it’s up to them to do so

    I have said this before so I will say it again I see 2 Firsts and 2 Seconds. 9, 28-31 is where I see first round picks.

     

    I agree.  We signed a LOT of players that we are paying like we expect will be on the 53 man roster.  I just don't see us keeping 10 picks in order to keep 5 on the roster.  I think we trade up a few times this draft.

    Gettleman is running the Giants into the ground. Luckily for them they will be contenders for Lawrence in 2021 after Gettleman is fired. 

     

    I remember Gettleman was a media favorite for our GM position, real happy we didn't get him.  His plan with the Giants just changes year to year he has no idea what he's doing

    I think you are asking the wrong question Coffin. I wonder why people have completely written of a 5th round rookie after seven NFL starts, under an offensive line coach for whom everyone was awful. People writing this guy off because he isn't Quentin Nelson are nuts. There is a reason one went top ten and one went in the fifth. He is a work in progress who has shown flashes and has more natural talent than any other guard on the roster. In fact, he is more talented than most of the guards in this upcoming draft and is similar in prospect pedigree to message board favorite Chris Lindstrom. The same people who criticize Teller swear that Nsehke is the answer to left tackle. A 34 year old guy with 16 NFL starts, some of which were at guard. Small sample size in both instances. Lunacy becuase neither mean anything. 

     

    I've defended Teller a lot on here and I don't want to rehash all of it, but if anybody who watched him play closely, and has written him off, likely doesn't understand potential and development, and they likely don't understand the nuances of offensive line play. Just my opinion. PFF is not the be all and end all. In fact PFF loved him in college. Do I think he's Zach Martin? No. But I think he has the potential to be a solid starting guard in the NFL if he can find some consistency. The talent and ability are there. 

     

    Im not writing him off, I’m just not pencilling him in as our starting LG in 2019 which is what a great majority have done since week 12

    I think he was pretty judicious with it I mean he has to spend a lot of it.

    Not really, you have to average 89% of your cap space over 3 consecutive seasons.  So this is 2019 we have to be at or over 89% for 2017 2018 2019.  Since we were pretty much completely topped off of cap in 2017 and 2018 we really could have held onto 40 million or so and still easily cleared the mandatory cap spending
