I never wanna be the guy who makes guarantees, but there is no way they keep two punters so one can hold. If Bojo can’t figure it out he will be out of the league. Drew Kaser had a huge leg for the Chargers but he could not hold and he is now out of the league at age 29. I believe we have seen the last of Bojo professional football player. He may hang around the back end of some rosters when someone gets hurt, but he won’t be the guy for anyone imo.

Yeah this I would love. Makes a ton of sense for him and for us.

I have my eye on Carolina. All accounts seem that they are changing over to a more power oriented run attack. They added Bradley Bozeman, a very unathletic road grader. Rumors say they are in on Duane Brown to play LT. The also signed Austin Corbett, who is big but athletic. They also have Deonte Brown, Michael Jordan, and Pat Elflein. Their third round pick last year Brady Christensen got jerked around quite a bit last year and seems like he may not have a spot. I wonder if they would do something like Cody Ford and a pick for Christensen? He’s older, already 25, BYU guy. I would prefer to keep Bates, but Christensen scored a high RAS last year, is cheap, and might fit nicely at RG if we miss out on Bates.

I am taking a flyer on Dante Pettis. He was just a ridiculous return guy in college and ran 4.32. He is a weird dude, and I think he may have had some trouble feeling things out in the NFL. Buffalo is the place ere you can come and be yourself as Shaq and J.Phillips can attest to. He had a nice rookie year then fell off a cliff and had some injuries, but at a league minimum type deal, there could still be upside there. That’s my guy I’m taking a shot on.

I hated the idea. But it was a unique situation in that Etienne is really a really good receiver playing running back. So he gives you that unique chess piece that can make this offense that much more dangerous.

I think he is a good player, not sure he moves the needle, but he offers some cool upside.

If Robert Woods is getting a 6th, I’d offer them a 7th.

Its going to be awhile. He is supposedly visiting the Bears this week.

I dunno. I feel the Pegulas picked McDermott. Didn’t Whaley want Hue Jackson or something?

100%. Drafting off ball linebackers in the first round leads to having to pay them 13 million on a fifth year option. Off ball linebacker is becoming a position you don’t draft in the first round. Outside of the elite guys, no one else really makes money at that position.

I don’t think height matters in his case. He has tremendous footwork and athleticism and he plays with leverage. He can pull and reach etc. That is typically the issue with the taller guys, that they can’t bend. But Doyle was a hockey player. He can bend at the knees. Morse is 6-6, he is the tallest center in the league. It doesn’t matter as long as your QB is tall enough to see over the guys. I guess my philosophy when it comes to offensive line play is you play the 5 best guys. If we lose Bates, Doyle becomes top 5 right now. They probably see him as the swing guy, 6th linemen. But if they can’t add, I have no doubt he could play there. I’m sure they will add a guy in the first three rounds of the draft.

Terrible pick. Set us back 4 years. But be careful becuase you may start the “Buddy Nix picked EJ debate”

From what I understand the Bears and Vikings are looking at Bates as a center. In terms of the Pats, I have no idea. Tretter probably signs with the Bears or Vikes imo.

Kupp was just older when he came into the league. 23-24, whereas Woods had just turned 21 or something like that.

I think a number of things kept Bates on the bench. First off, this regime is very loyal to the players, sometimes to a fault. Think about how spotty Gabe Davis’ playing time has been. The dude has made a huge impact in a low amount of snaps. Feliciano was a Bobby Johnson guy Daryl Williams was a McBeane guy. Also, I think they became enamored with Ike Boettger after the Chiefs claimed him. Once they knew the Chiefs wanted him, I think they just felt like they had a steal. That and Cody Ford is what cost us Wyatt Teller. Now if it were me, I would have started Bates and LG and Boettger at RG to start the year. But we never saw that becauce Bates really didn’t get his shot until 100 people had Covid and Boettger got hurt.

In my mind he is responsible for the Marronne years drafts. Robert Woods, Kiko Alonso, Nikell Robey, Sammy Watkins 🤮, Ronald Darby. Those three drafts. After that, Rex was really in control.

Lorax, Incognito, and Tyrod were all just guys Rex Ryan wanted. So I am not sure I can give him credit there, at the same time I don’t blame him for the Shaq Lawson and Reggie Ragland picks because again that’s what Rex wanted.

Peterma… Nevermind.

Bounced around the league, last played with the Chargers CoVID season. He made a cool 8 million. Not bad for an UDFA

Maybe he will trade us TJ Watt for Shaq Lawson? He looks good off the bus.

The team to worry about is the Bears. Vikings don’t have much cap and the Pats have some, but do have a bunch of holes on their roster. Bears are sitting on like 30 million. So to me, they are the team to watch. Also, the Browns releasing JC Tretter actually helps us as he trumps Bates a bit.

I still don’t know why they drafted him. WR Darnell Mooney went a few picks later. They could have drafted S Kamren Curl, or maybe RB James Robinson or punters Braden Mann or Tommy Towsend. But it is what it is.

Jurgens had some really good testing numbers, so he fits the high RAS conversation. Johnson does as well. Cole Strange is an interesting guy, as a small school guy, he shined at the Senior Bowl tested really well RAS wise. I like him a lot and I hope they met with him.

Cam Jurgens - C/G Nebraska Logan Bruss - C/G Wisconsin Zion Johnson - C/G Boston College Lecitus Smith - G Virginia Tech Dohnovan West - C/G Arizona State Kenyon Green - C/G Texas A&M

Has to be drafting a guy, because the guard market is pretty much dried up. I could see teams that signed guys maybe willing to trade their holdovers, say like the Panthers who signed Bozeman and Corbett. Perhaps they are willing to move 2021 draft pick Brady Christensen, high RAS guy who we could stick in at RG. Perhaps Christensen for AJ Epenesa, who would fit in well as a 5 tech in their 3-4. The Bills have met with a lot of IOL so far this year. So the answer likely comes in the draft.
