Oh sh!t, you were serious?! -
What are the chances we resign Milano?
Richard Noggin replied to BuffaloBills1998's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'd say the chances are better than 50/50... -

How I feel about Brady and the Pats -
Bills “Growth Mindset” series premieres March 11
Richard Noggin replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I use Dweck's work in the college classroom all the time. It's really the foundation of learning: being humble and self-aware and gritty enough to acknowledge room for improvement, and then to set about making those improvements. Unfortunately, there are so many circumstances/traits that can cause people to retreat behind more "fixed" mindsets, including poverty, trauma, immaturity, arrogance, etc. -
Micah Hyde signed to 2 yr extension - Schefter
Richard Noggin replied to Tortured Soul's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Thanks, I haven't heard much talk about Johnson lately. The way he finished the season, it stands to reason they want him to be their slot guy for another contract. Impact plays, physicality, and most importantly (and why he had the opportunity to flash), he improved his availability. -

Cuts around the league..
Richard Noggin replied to BillMafia716ix's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm having trouble with your Hyde and Hughes takes. Especially Hyde. No way McDermott (and Frazier) part with Hyde this offseason. That dude is essential in ways stats can't convey. Hughes is NOT "done," as you say, both statistically and intangibly. Sacks can be a little like home runs, analytically, in that they can be misleading (baseball isn't a great analogy for football, but hopefully you get my drift). Some players sacrifice steady production for occasional, all-or-nothing glory. Like Jordan Phillips did in his contract year: terrible stats in basically every category except sacks. I WILL agree that at some point soon Hughes WILL be done, and a team can get better sack production from cheaper options. But I say let him play out his contract as the veteran rock of the DE group. Hyde, too. -

Important for everyone to read perspectives like this. Especially those hailing from Bills country. -

Only 2 teams put in requests to interview Daboll
Richard Noggin replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He must, for the first time in his OC career, effectively marry the passing and running games. His offenses have been either lopsided or ineffective for the most part. -
Christian Wade, will we ever see him?
Richard Noggin replied to BeastMode54's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Rugby is a very physical and oftentimes violent game, no doubt. I played a bit in high school and college. But it's very different from football in that rugby tacklers almost always seek to wrap up, rather than collide with/knock down ball carriers. It's almost counter-intuitive to the American sensibility. Less protection does not typically equal more damaging collisions. -
Lee, we hardly knew ye
Richard Noggin replied to Stanley Lombardi's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
To be fair, these metrics don't necessarily scream freakish athleticism. They definitely do, however, loudly proclaim top-quartile athleticism. Knox is demonstrably more explosive than the majority of NFL TEs. But he's not Vernon Davis fast, or Gronk big, for example. Those are/were freakish athletes. He's simply very athletic all around. -
Lee, we hardly knew ye
Richard Noggin replied to Stanley Lombardi's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Come on. His handful of angry runs (after catch) have unquestionably displayed explosive athleticism. The issue with Knox is a lack of consistent hands, blocking (too many total whiffs), and general spatial awareness (too often we've watched him jump or lunge for touch passes he should instead have sprinted underneath). That's a potentially damning list of flaws. Hell, his plus athleticism is probably the only reason he's still in the league. -
