Da webster guy

It's all about game speed baby. Its why McKenzie and Foster are here to stay and RayRay is out. Foster always separates, the question was ball skills, high pointing, getting contested catches, etc. Imagine running that fast and catching that Josh bullet coming at you 9 feet high. greatest grab of the year for us.

We almost lost him for the season on that silly read option to the left near the goal line at the end. If his foot planted there his knee was going full Willis McGahee. I know he can run but the kid is 6'5 and should be running north/south, not sweeps. He doesn't have the Russell Wilson/Mahomes body and the risk is pretty high for an injury if they keep trying that stuff with him. NFL hits aren't like college hits. Come on Daboll, figure something else out. Hey maybe use Chris Ivory or a running back that can hit a hole on time and with forward momentum? Sorry for the thread hijack. sincerely, a worried dad

Best two guys on the field defensively for us this past Sunday. Lorax was even hammering tackles on special teams. Both must be retained if they still want to play.

Yeah unlike throwing a punch at someone's throat like Fournette did. The can was an empty thrown at a guy with full padding, a facemask and helmet on who smashes into 300lb men for a living. I'm pretty sure he'll be OK. I wouldn't have done it, but it was one helluva shot and I'm glad the guy had the balls to do it.

Sabres rolling up the wins, UB kicking ass today by 30 points and now heading to win the MAC championship. Bills at home, off a bye week, got the new rookie QB back with some experience under his belt, team playing the best ball it has all season. Pretty much everybody healthy (Shaq?) and some new faces like Teller at RG and McKenzie/Foster speeding up our offense a bit. Playing against Marrone, Hackett and Dareus as they embarrass themselves in another city like they did here. Yeah I think it's going to be a great home win for us at the perfect time.

Obviously the draft will hinge on what free agency lands us in March but remember there are a handful of other teams out there with just as much free capital to spend as we have. I think we'll sign the Carolina Panthers RT and possibly Shaq Mason for RG but will be taking the best Center available in the draft because the unrestricted FA Center's coming up this year are weak.

Sure we spent a lot on Trent, but think of the Chiefs signing Sammy "im basically made of glass" Watkins to $30M guaranteed money, $48M over three years. Over $20M this year alone. I think thats more than Brady gets. He's grabbin just 4 catches a game and has 3 TD's on the season. Yikes. And we thought Woods at $8M was too much. Uhhhhh....No

Not sure if he's beating him with a belt. It could just be a little whack now and then. It used to just scare us kids more than it hurt growing up when my dad would pull out the belt. If he's continually beating him with it thats jailable esp considering the dude is on parole for the stick incident, but I think there's still room for a well-placed light belt whack in disciplining a kid if thats all he responds to.

Might have been wise but he didnt get hired right away like he planned, and he's probably gonna get canned after this 4 win season. ( i predicted less than 8 wins for them in late August). Either way im glad he is gone. Cant believe his faith in Hackett is still going.

I dont know about Remmers, but Reiff has been on my radar since Jerry Hughes abused him all game, and he sure looks awful out there.

Assuming the Bears were going to spend their first rounder on an edge guy anyway, they basically got Mack for a swap of 2020 first and second round picks. A swap. When Pats traded away Chandler Jones I remember thinking the same thing: How can you dump the best player at his position in ALL of football who still wants to play for you? Gruden is as dumb as Bill when it comes to being a GM

Use the franchise tag on her Duke, just in case she gets lazy or something. You might want to pick up a free agent down the road....

I was gonna mention Shaq too. He's getting better, Harry, Edmunds, Milano, Taron all getting better each week it seems. Nine rooks/2nd year guys starting vs Jags

A personal stylist for $28k. That's honestly the most ridiculous advice you could ever give a young kid. Or anyone. Nice mentorship Lil Donte. Also James had the unfortunate experience of having to listen to Chris "You Gotsta Have a Fall Guy" Carter's ghetto advice.

Yup. And the best thing he's shown is that the game isn't too big for him. He doesn't play scared and aside from a handful of plays, he's not forcing things out there. He's shown a knack for escaping pressure, and he's improving at keeping his eyes downfield. The rest of the way it's going to be reading coverages, pre snap adjustments, and footwork/throwing mechanics. Obviously tons to learn before he can be great, but the kid already has a huge road win in Minny and a come-from-behind 4th quarter drive to win a game. And most of all (lest we forget) the kid is so FUN to watch. I say enjoy it, we don't have the pressure of having to win to make the playoffs, and we have some easier opponents going down the stretch here, with three at home in December. Can't wait to smoke the Jags.

They're both playing good ball this season. Milano is really a pleasant surprise, becoming more consistent and playing like a madman out there. Tremaine is still a good year or two away from rounding into form. Neither one of them are thumpers, but boy as far as running with and covering TE's and RB's goes, those two are among the best in the league. The new age LB, drafted with that in mind. You can't go wrong either way.

You talking about the coach whose team scored zero points against us last time we played them without Brady. In Foxboro? Maybe it's not him that's doing the winning.

Dear Bill the GENIUS You guys a little desperate over there? Is it because you dumped Chandler Jones who had more sacks by himself last year for Zona than your entire TEAM has so far this year? Hahahahahaha what's gonna happen when #12 retires and nobody wants to put up with your smug crap and play for you any more Bill? Will Kraft cut his mullet finally? GEEEEEEENNNNNNIIIIIIIUUUUUSSSSSS

A lot of teams passed on Mahomes. You act like the dude was some slam dunk Andrew Luck prospect. Maybe we should be mad for passing on Brady, Rogers, Brees, and Wilson while we're at it. We had shots at those guys too. I wonder if Cinci is glad they took John Ross with Mahomes still on the board. Geez dude. McShay on Mahomes in college: Can be inconsistent in his approach. Needs to play inside the offense and show more discipline. Too eager to go big game hunting. Ravenous appetite for the explosive play can also bring unwanted trouble. Willingness to default to playground style appears to limit his ability to get into a consistent rhythm. Needs to improve anticipatory reads and learn to take what the defense gives him. Decision making can go from good to bad in a moment's notice. Operates from a narrow base and allows his upper body and arm to race ahead of his feet. Has a dip and wind-up in his standard release. Explosive delivery and follow-through causes some throws to sail. Needs better touch on intermediate and deep balls. Carries ball a little low in the pocket. Impatient. Will leave pocket prematurely rather than standing in and winning in rhythm. Better as a scrambler than pure runner. Looked a little less mobile in the open field this season. i agree. it's also a must before pee wee football games, man are they hilarious..... (sorry to my little nephew jimmie, but when you grow up and read this post, you'll be giggling too)

Interesting. That's pretty rare to have that many guys together for that long. Has to be the longest in the league. I wonder if there's a Dline with even half that much continuity. When I see that stat and look at how well Connor is doing (almost 800 yards already, 4.7 yp carry) I wonder how LeVeon Bell is going to do on another team that doesn't have that kind of line in front of him. I'm sure someday our boy TD Mike Gillislee will look back fondly on his NFL days when he was running in Romans offense behind Richie and Eric's line. He had a legendary 5.7 yards per carry in 2016 (just over 100 carries) and yet when he went to Patriots the next year he had the same amount of carries but only managed 3.7 yards per touch and my guess is he faced far less 8 man fronts in New England than he did with us in '16. This year's free agent market for Oline doesn't seem to have a standout center, which is why I think you'll see us drafting one early, and part of our $80M is going to go to a guard like the Pats Shaq Mason or the Titan's Quinton Spain or a RT like Daryl Williams from Carolina. Maybe both. We got a little blindsided with Oline this offseason-- our pro bowl LG went batshit crazy and our veteran center had a freak neck injury out of the blue. Huge shoes to fill and something we are still struggling to address.

Zay had an OK game? He had 8 catches and no drops, got open all day. Quickness, leverage, looking the ball in. I'm assuming you didn't rewatch the game. There were only two WR's in the entire league (Cooks and Edelman) that had more grabs. And they had franchise qb's throwing them the ball. Don't get too old and cynical, the kid had a great game. It ok to say it. We love you.

We were in the playoffs last year. Not an elite team obviously, but better than average. Every team has holes, and they draft to fill their weaknesses and you're right they can be partial to the players they picked, but our current nine starters all seem legit to me. We've had some players do better than we had planned in Milano, Shaq, even Lorax, and that's helping, but outside of Allen i can't see any of these guys not being good players for us in the years ahead.

Yeah I wonder how the draft would have looked if we had just signed Cousins or even gave the job to Teddy Bridge and stayed put, not drafted a qb at all. We would have had two more picks in the mid second round and the first pick of the 3rd round.

I know there are varying degrees of involvement by coach McD with each of the picks in the past two drafts, but now that Zay has somehow emerged as a good receiver our last two years we have TreD Zay Dawk Milano Last year Josh Tremaine Harry Taron Teller Obviously Josh is the wildcard here, but currently this is 9 starters in two years through the draft. Almost half of the 22 man starting team in two years, all under rookie deals. I don't have time to look it up, but that's likely tops in the league, nine starters who are either rooks or sophomores. There's a little Whaley influence, and Beane obviously, but if McD has been significantly involved in these past two drafts like they say he has, it's a very encouraging sign that we have a knack for identifying and developing the right kind of players here.

Maybe on the road I could see your point here, but Jax is coming into our house, we have the best defense in football, not them. No reason to be scared of them, they imploded (as I predicted they would be a sub .500 team on here many times this preseason) Ramsey is nothing to be afraid of. Calais is the guy that can screw up your day, and he'll be out to teach Teller and Bodine a few things. But they have Hackett and Marrone, so we get a +1 for that too.
