Love to see him at Nino’s where he won’t be able to walk out the door unless he agrees that he likes it. 😂

Blake Martinez….. Why would anyone want the wish.com version of Paul Posluszny?

What’s the percentage for teams that have both, or a 100 yard rusher with a 250 yard passer?

From most accounts he works as hard or harder than anyone else in the league. Allen’s definitely at the point where ego wouldn’t be an issue, especially after injuries. I’m sure OBJ would fit right in on the roster. Question is the repeated knee injuries. That eventually takes a toll.

Preferably.

I could certainly see Sanders coming back down the stretch run if there’s an injury to Diggs or Davis. He’d be cheap, fresh, knows the offense and has a report with Allen. Aside from that I don’t see anyone of those guys latching on unless a team gets really desperate.

Godspeed and good luck on his recovery. It’s detrimental to their prospects, but I’d rather beat each team at full strength. I hope he has no long term negative impact from this.

Big Game Gabe.

I think it’ll be easy if the Oline can cleanly get him past the LOS consistently. If Singletary’s first juke is on LBers or DBs instead of Dlinemen his YPC will jump up dramatically, as he’d likely rip off a bunch of 10-20 yard runs.

The importance of special teamers may have increased due to dumpster diving for a punter.

NFL teams have tremendous resources, but I think it’s likely that they do not deep dive as intensely on back of the roster prospects and specialists compared to first few rounds. That’s probably compounded when they look into players at smaller schools where there aren’t multiple prospects every year or alumni already on the roster to glean information from. The kid is off the roster now. I’m actually interested to see if SDst and/ SDPD brushed over any of this when the Bills were investigating….. perhaps it’ll come to light.

Actually…. Yes, and it worked surprisingly well. I had a bunch of 20 year old lady’s babying me like a little brother and one of them hooked me up with her younger sister the next week. 🤷‍♂️. Granted, that was back in the 90’s.

Agree. Just watch some of the GB playoff losses over Rodgers career…. Multiple onside kicks, blocked kicks, blocked punts, onside kicks, etc. They possibly would have been to another 2-3 Super Bowls in the last 11 years with good special teams. It certainly matters in the modern NFL.

Not concerned yet. Rookie CBs take their lumps. That’s going to be compounded by learning on the fly against Diggs. Heck, even Gilmore looked like garbage his first four games in NE and he was a top 5-10 corner already.

This is ugly.

They were. IIRC White started as a freshman.

Is he just trying to get paid, or does he want contract security in case the Browns end up making more poor cap choices? With Watson potentially suspended Hunt has more leverage now than he’ll have later….. especially after Watson starts playing and Hunts numbers drop.

Per the nfl….. you can rape women, just don’t hit them. 🤦‍♂️ 🙄

It’s not. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Elam have a similar rookie season to Eric Stokes (GA) last year…. Looked bad in preseason trying to guard Davante Adams, looked better against lesser competition, got burned bad a few times by top WRs but displayed talent, everything started to come together by the last third of the season. It takes a season for a lot of these corners to round into form. As Fans we often want instant success, but displayed talent and trending upwards with experience is the more realistic expectation.

Makes perfect sense…. That touch of extra relief and joy that we saw with Cubs fans a few years ago…. That.

Might work for the phins

It’s all wild. Rice’s 2002 season was playing beside Tim Brown who was coming off of 9 consecutive 1000 yard seasons. Reggie White played with both Clyde Simmons and Paup who each topped out with 19 and 17.5 sacks in a season (respectively). Very hard to figure out who’s actually overrated, but the discussion is entertaining. Over Epenesa for sure.

Bryce Paup…. He never had more than 7.5 sacks in a season when he wasn’t playing with Bruce Smith or Reggie White. 🤷‍♂️

That average goes up if you factor in that he missed half of 2020 after being IR’d with a knee injury he tried playing with for four games, and he missed a game or two last year with Covid.

It’ll be interesting to see how Dorsey uses all of the weapons. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he utilizes TEs in his game plans a lot more than Daboll. Dorsey certainly benefited from throwing to Jeremy Shockey and Kellen Winslow in college… not to mention handing off to Gore, Portis, and McGahee. Football has certainly changed in the last 20 years, but there might be some interesting things that carry over from his playing experience.
