Training camp day 3 st john fisher college
Beck Water replied to scuba guy's topic in The Stadium Wall
Basically how I see it is, they're confident in what they have with Hamlin. They want to give Bishop every chance to show he can step into the starting role. I don't think that means he's locked in as the starter, exactly for the reason you say - if he doesn't step into it and step up, it will be "next!" -

'K fair. But I also remember everyone trying to "read the tea leaves" during the battle for starting MLB then getting pantsed when the starter was named. -

It's...day 3 of camp? Are you ready to say "Tre White appears firmly entrenched as the starter" based on the same data? Is it just me, or is Allen lighting into a receiver relatively new? -
Did Mitch retire? Right. Keep in mind that even Mitch Morse, Mr. Classy, Mr. Unflappable Professional, went after Wilkins like a Bull-dozer chasing a Cow-dozer after Wilkins shoved Josh And that was the reaction of the reserved, restrained classy OLman.

Could be neither, right? Jones fracture is the same injury Sammy Watkins had. Didn't he reportedly take his boot off and train before he was supposed to per medical advice? Resulting in it not healing properly and requiring further treatment? Or he could be a lazy POS. Have details come out? Not rehabbing at the facility actually can not be the reason for Diggs losing out on a workout bonus. Contractually, the players have the right to rehab where they choose. The workout bonus is usually for the player participating in voluntary OTAs, though. So Diggs could lose it if he chose not to come to the facility for OTAs. No, I can't imagine. An extra half a million would make me show up.

But you realize these aren't the same thing, right? Josh has not been good connecting on Go routes his entire career. There are various reasons for that, including the winds in the stadium where the team plays half their games and the fact that he really hasn't had a WR exceptional at running those routes, tracking and adjusting on the ball, and turning on an extra gear when needed. On the other hand, Josh has been one of the most accurate QB in the league at 20+ air yard passes. I think he was 5th or 6th last season, 10th or so in 2023 - right after Mahomes.

Can you say more about this? I have never Door Dashed.

This is such crap. Yes, Josh is a Superstar who I'm sure could take his pick of any number of willing women. Glab is a married woman employed by the team. I may not *like* her as a professional sports broadcaster, but there's no reason to think she's an unprofessional sports broadcaster. Stow it.

I'll give Maddy a pass for that one. In hindsight she was speaking truth about His Diggsness in a casual convo with a peer (that was caught on a hot mic). It was a truth that made him look bad, so he had his team strong-arm the Bills PR into making her grovel. Which, even at the time was a worse look to me than if Diggs had just laughed it off. He's a superstar, and any "ding" of his brand coulda been popped out using dry ice without scratching the paint. Instead he chose to flex on the "little people" working for the Bills, with the same result we'd have if Big Ed Oliver were to arm-wrestle a 3rd grader. She's not antagonizing Josh, he just couldn't figure out what she was asking. Rather than spitting out some meaningless pablum, he basically asked her. Note: I'm not defending Glab as a journalist here, I don't think she's very good. But Fair is Fair.

2020 Stefon Diggs was OK (also had John Brown looking pretty good for 8 of the first 10 games of 2020), Gabe Davis caught some deep balls. But to your point, neither elite. And in 2021, without Brown and with the Ghost of Manny Sands gimping through the season, defenses began to key on Davis.

I probably can't without sounding like I'm dumb myself, but the "party line" I've always heard is that it allows players to focus on skill development in the passing game. WR know they need to release quickly and execute their routes quickly because no protection for the QB; QB needs to make quick decisions about where to go with the ball given what the LB and secondary show in coverage; secondary know they need to be brisk in coverage because the QB won't be harried by a pass rush. In NFL training camp as I understand it, it's basically a way to focus on installation of offense and defense while actually taking live snaps and facing realistic coverage. In order to focus on deep ball accuracy, Josh also needs a WR who can release consistently and cleanly and get downfield consistently, not let himself get jammed or held up. When you see a deep ball fly 2 feet over Coleman's head, is it because Josh's ball is inaccurate, or because Coleman is 2 feet short of where he ought to be based on a route vs. air?

I mean, Jimbo Cook wasn't there, of course they're going to feature Davis.

Bridgewater suspended from HS coaching
Beck Water replied to TBBills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
The thing is I know there are special sports rules. Like there are rules you have to attend so much of the school day if you have an excused absence for medical or you can't play, that kind of thing. So I don't doubt that there were rules and they were broken. I just wish the article would have explained. -
Bridgewater suspended from HS coaching
Beck Water replied to TBBills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I wish the article didn't leave us to guess, but instead actually explained what rules were violated that led to the suspension. Maybe. Could include stuff like cryotherapy and IVs -
I think that was the point: in his prime years as a QB he was a giant arse and not a good family man, in retirement he changed and started growing to become a better man husband and father. Whether that makes him a "great family man" or whether his past has to be weighed with his present ties into a lot of questions about the degree to which you believe in the power of redemption or whether personal change is possible and real rendering rehabilitation possible etc. - I leave that to you. Prayers for the Kellys

I did not need to know this. No thank you for sharing.

? There are adult stem cells in a number of tissues including bone marrow Adult stem cells can be reprogrammed to become more pluripotent Stem cells are harvested perinatally (after birth) from cord blood - it's a routine question "are you willing to donate blood from the umbilical cord?" after birth when the baby and mom no longer have a use for it He's only a hypocrite if he's using embryonic stem cells and I'm not aware of any medical treatment that uses them, because of the ethical controversies

I'm pretty sure the Lions would have liked to score before 1:41 left in the 3rd, instead of "punt" and "fumble". And that 3rd Q score was fluky AF - "wait, WHAT? he caught that?" I do grant you, we gave up 3 straight scores in the 4th. Totally changed my viewpoint of Dan Campbell and made me kind of sad they lost to the Commanders in the Division.

Have you found your wallet?

Oh, absolutely and beyond not getting the ball. There's the Glab situation, the Tim Graham anecdote about his interaction with Josh, then various "I'd tell you what I know if I could but I can't" hints from a couple people here. Then Graham again: My only point was that there doesn't appear to be any need to look beyond the on field and off-field behavior with the team.

They say a good prosecuting attorney can persuade a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. Seems unfair to @Ham Sandwich but I sure wish the Texas prosecuting attorney would cook up some Rice.
