Is anything being done about injury prevention?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to The Red King's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree. White getting hurt is a plus and a minus. Douglas looks good and is far cheaper. That said White was playing well to start the year. Injuries just give the McD supporters an excuse. He had defensive collapses in the past with healthy squads too. -
Who's your breakout players for next season?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Player most likely to make an impact is probably not on the roster right now I will go with first round WR, 675 yards and 6 TDs -

Numbers don't tell the full story here. It is true very few games missed on offense. I think the only starters to miss time were Knox and Davis and those were only a handful of games. On defense they lost arguably their best player at each level of the defense. Losing Milano 13 games plus playoffs was heartbreaking. Add the cluster of injuries at the LB spot and the impact was felt. All that said, and as you point out overall as a team they were healthy especially on offense. -
The much much much too early 2024 expectations thread.
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
We've never had a top 3 QB in the league Anything short of a Lombardi is failure No more moral victories No more successful seasons just making the playoffs. People's minds have been poisoned by 17 years of losing. When you have Josh Allen you should expect to win the SuperBowl -

So per this thinking then losing in the playoffs is somehow acceptable? When does it become unacceptable? -

Do you have the talent to make millions? Allen has the talent to win the SuperBowl! Agree he will have to overcome McDermott though -

I'm sorry to be a broken record. We have a top 3 QB. If you expect anything less than the SuperBowl I really don't understand you. Please anyone that votes anything but SuperBowl win explain? -
Michael Thomas expected to be released by Saints
Ethan in Cleveland replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hope they release him gently or he may get hurt -
My guess is they draft two WRs. One of them competes with Isabella for return duties. Hell I'd be happy with Hyde on a vet minimum contract to catch punts and be a mentor for a rookie safety. I would be perfectly happy if they rushed 11 and never even put a guy back there to catch the punt. Facetious I know but it would be a fun experiment to try.

Justin Simmons released (now visiting N'awlins)
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
18M for a safety. How the hell does that happen??? Seriously these GMs are morons. Two first round picks for Adams??? -
The whole situation smells like another McD screw up. The guy was injured but instead of putting him on IR they let him languish with no announcement and just sit him every week until they finally put him on IR. Maybe the player hid the injury which is stupid if true. Probably has as much raw talent as any CB on the team. As with all things I dont trust McDermott at all and place the blame with him until proven otherwise. I would not be surprised if he sits again while we suffer another year of this clown HC.

Have to wonder over time if it will just become acceptable to leave out the dash. Language evolves overtime and words and definitions get updated. Irregardless was not felt to be a proper word and it is now in the dictionary.

No thanks Beane needs to tell McDermott to play Elam. I'm sure they will draft a day 3 CB. Only way Gilmore or any other FA CB would make sense is if they want to move Benford to safety

The free agent safety market is unbelievable
Ethan in Cleveland replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Are any of these guys better than Rapp? Honest question as I don't know much about many of the names. Most seem old and on their final legs Have to figure there are a few that would have been just as good and maybe cheaper. But Rapp knows the system now. I'd add another cheap veteran age 25-28 and draft another. -
How the hell did they sign him to a deal that would have ever paid him$3M in the first place. Hate the roster and cap space used for special teams. I understand it was probably all funny money but still. League minimum and rookie deals is all we can and should be paying for ST guys.
-
Hope so. We still are going to lose multiple FAs - Dodson, Jackson, Epenesa, and Davis for sure. It should be rather easy for Beane to be net negative especially with 11 draft picks to play with.
-
He was a disappointment last year. I would have been fine if they had just gone with two new guys and a draft pick. Oh well. Beane usually has one or two overpays per year. This seems like one.
-
This is amazing. Best case he hits all his incentive money and he has a monster year!!!!

What FA Signings Have Directly Lead to SB Wins?
Ethan in Cleveland replied to st pete gogolak's topic in The Stadium Wall
My bad. I am usually better with my facts. You are correct. -
No way he is the punter game 1. They will draft or sign someone else. There must be some law that they must always have a punter on the roster, because Martin will be gone soon too
-
He's washed. He got toasted in the KC playoff game on the Kelce TD. He is so slow now. Great player for a long time. Very sad McD cost him a SB or two.
