He predicted the snap count, and it’s difficult to tell at game speed. He certainly seemed to react faster than the center, which is why I think the flag got thrown. The key here is going to be the bills sending stills to the league and McD harping on the refs so they understand that our DTs just get off the ball that quickly.... Kyle used to do that a few times a year and the refs stopped penalizing it after it was expected. Same goes for other DTs that had great reaction times and first steps; Sapp, Randle, etc. If Phillips keeps timing these perfectly it will become a “known ability”.

Phillips has the ability to hit 10 again. The questions are scheme and motivation. I really don’t question those factors with him on this roster unless Oliver takes all the snaps. IIRC there was one interview where he mentioned that Miami didn’t play him on third downs. I see Phillips as a 5-7 sack DT that will occasionally eclipse that total with talent around him. It’s important to note that we’re getting into the “resign our own” phase of the rebuild. I feel like they have to resign a few guys that have bought in to the process to maintain momentum and the family vibe. At the very least they need to offer competitive contracts to guys like Phillips; who not only bought in, but is vocal about telling anyone that will listen this team/locker room is special.

Ford has been doing a pretty good job of forcing edge rushers to run the arc.

I’m of the opinion that Foster can run the majority of the McKenzie gadget plays.

The enhanced sonar helps him track leaks.

I can see Beane making a move similar to the Edmunds trade with Baltimore to nab Epenesa. I’d be supportive. It would effectively finish off our front 7 and put us in a decent spot as Hughes ages. All of this is borderline futile without knowing where we’re drafting, who’s declaring for the draft, available FAs, and resigned and tagged players. It’s exciting though. Particularly because this team is close.... We don’t need to pray for home runs for success.

Folks are gonna light torches when he trades up for Epenesa. ?

I used Hambone intentionally because of that. Any WR that’s 6’5” and running a 4.3-4.4 is going too 10 unless they have serious red flags. I could have used his Carolina replacements, James Hardy, etc. I agree with the physical aspect. Our small receivers don’t “play big” a la Brown, OBJ, Steve Smith Sr, etc. Of course, neither did Benjamin. Where we’re drafting there will be some knocks on a prospect. Raw, disappears for stretches, shorter, slower, injury history, DII... something. My point was I hope they don’t rule out a 5’11” guy if he’s aggressive and has a big vertical. Those guys often end up being playmakers. A good example from the last draft is Deebo Samuel. Body control, hops, and a willingness to lay out for the ball can make a huge difference.

People focus on size a little too much. I’ll take a 6’0” guy with a 40” vertical and 4.4 over a K Benjamin all day.... Folks tend to forget that A Brown and OBJ are both under 6’. ?‍♂️. Size is just one way to get separation and isn’t important unless the guy plays big too. Now with that in mind, I’m against drafting a 5’8” smurf unless they have blazing speed.

The same NFL Network that has shown programming other than the games people paid to watch.... It has happened several times. Most recently.... https://www.google.com/amp/amp.awfulannouncing.com/league-networks/spectrum-subscribers-get-alternate-programming-on-nfl-network-instead-of-buccaneers-panthers-tnf-game.html

Soooo..... Let me get this straight..... You can pay for Sunday Ticket, not get the game, and then thank yourself for paying for the service you have to pirate anyways????? Kind of like the NFL Network broadcasting “top 10 hail mary’s” instead of Thursday night football this year????? I have no sympathy for the NFL or broadcasting services. Eventually they’re gonna run out of cows and try to milk a bull. ?‍♂️

Which is why I have no issues with VPN’s and stolen streams. If it’s considered a “home market” the NFL needs to drop its BS and make the game publicly available or at least provide a multi platform PPV option.

Which is BS considering it’s not a public broadcast for what used to be the blackout area.

Is Hodges the new Peterman?

Did McD yell at Dabs?

There we go

Come on roberts

At least he made the kick.

Gore can’t get to the edge

Thank you defense for holding up the sky again.

“I’d like to thank the defense. They did a great job of keeping the sky from falling.” Sincerely, Friends and Family of Chicken Little.

Allen can feast on those deep holes in zones

Dropped catches.... At least there’s an adrenaline rush before possibly stroking out on the ones that turn into tip drills.

Unabated...

He has to breakdown or go to the side opposite the rest of the pressure.... If he does either Lawson gets that sack or drives Duck into Edmunds.
