Or is Dallas DL just that good

Do the Giants actually have an OL or did they try to buy one at Woolworths?

They did indeed Cowboys are blowing a great opportunity to put the Giants in a 13 or 14 point hole But, a 9 point hole may be enough if the G-men don’t figure out a Plan for Parsons PDQ

It’s a good question. I personally think Daboll felt Allen was a lot his creation and he could create Jones into a similar masterpiece.

That was my thought, but folks can vote with their fingers 🤷‍♂️

Agree completely. My first thought was “Whoa, do the Giants have an OL?” My second thought was “that Parsons guy is a problem” I see “around the NFL week 1” and several Bills threads pinned 🤷‍♂️

Over/under on how long I last listening to Collinsworth? I haven’t watched the Giants for a while. Surprised at how readily Jones runs Cowboys: “Honey, I shrunk the Giants opening drive” (and reversed it)

The thing is, last year the Chargers really looked like they’d “solved” Miami. I guess they assumed Miami would stay “solved”

Chargers Gonna Charger Dammit

Bills are hyping up Greg Rousseau. He's stronger, he's faster, he's ready to crawl all over opposing QBs. Time Will Tell

That's true, but Old News. I thought it was Thomas Brown, the Panthers new OC, and it was said he didn't want his QB to wear one. Can try https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw_JPmcgSOp/

Who was the coach who didn't want his QB to wear a wrist band? Carolina? How is that working out?

There's three aspects of the Bills run game to consider: 1) how many times they run 2) of those runs, how many times is there a handoff vs. Josh Allen being the runner 3) how effectively do they run? I believe Dorsey has commented something to the effect that "we don't need to run the ball more, we need to run the ball more effectively". There needs to be enough of a run game, and effective enough of a run game, to keep the defenses "honest", in other words with some understanding that they need to play gap-sound defense and not just pin their ears back and go after Josh. That doesn't mean there has to be more run plays, but they have to be effective enough to achieve that.

This should maybe have its own thread Is this good, or bad?

$4.5M for the taking - I'd go with "you're right" on that. But a guy who is suing, takes what he can get Hines was due $2.56M from the Bills this season, $1M of which was guaranteed (likely for 'injury, skill, and cap'). Initially there was some back and forth that the Bills had offered Hines $370k, which is the max a player on the practice squad can receive. His agent of course, wanted his full salary (which the team can choose to pay). Let's say they settled on covering the guaranteed portion of his salary. In this hypothetical scenario, Hines has got $1.56M of lost salary to make up. So if he can get that out of some combination of the renter dude and the rental company and who knows, maybe the jetski manufacturer, still worth suing.

So, that requires a bit of sorting. First sort: Is it classed as a "football injury" or a "non-football injury"? Football injury = working out at team facility in the off-season, OTAs, preseason; training camp, games Non-football injury = anything else (including injuries from working out to prepare for the season For a non-football injury, the team is not required to pay the player his salary and per game roster bonuses. They can choose to. He keeps his signing and/or restructure bonuses. Second sort: If it's a football injury, does the player have a "split" in his contract that specifies that he will be paid a lower amount if he is placed on IR? Of our 4 players on IR, Doyle apparently does NOT have a split and is getting paid full salary; Shorter, Spector, and Davidson have splits. But to answer your last question: no, they can't just "not pay them". Neither can they release an injured player, UNLESS they reach a settlement to pay the player for the # of weeks the injury rehab is supposed to take.

I can not disagree. And that's saying something, for we have had some tone-deaf doozies.

In case anyone wondered. Hyde listed as "full", but only a walk-through practice today.

I think we put a little too much emphasis on the "pajama olympics" at times. Josh Allen ran a 4.75 second 40 yd dash at the combine. I think most LB and DB who have been tasked with bringing him down in the open field would say he plays faster than that. You're correct that Kincaid is a different TE coming out of college than Kelce was. Kelce was noted as a run blocker!!!!! and had only one stellar season as a receiver. Kincaid is not noted as a blocker at all. FWIW I found Kelce's draft profile which as you say lists him at 256. The Chiefs and a couple of other sites list him at 250. Guys can and do transform their bodies and impact their performance in the NFL. I don't think the Bills want Kincaid to gain 15 lbs, but it wouldn't surprise me if they encourage him to try to add 5 or 10 lb of muscle and to "cheek up" as Josh did, in order to run faster. Time will tell

? Rich Eisen asked Josh "Was there a thing?" He shook his head side to side 'No' and said "there wasn't"

Salah most definitely ran the wide-9 in San Francisco as DC. What Jeff Ulbrich is doing as his DC can't 100% tell you (or even if he's actual DC or DC in name only) but I think they do. Found articles about how their DE are ideally suited for same.

All of us are approximately 60% water Runner friend was telling me the new guideline for hydration in distance running is no longer trying not to lose weight, but try not to lose more than 5% of body weight For a 300 lb dude, 5 lbs is a mere 1.67% of their weight - easy come, easy go

I vote with the Mrs. Most habituated/concentrated skunk population I've ever seen was at Blackwater Falls State Park (WV). Every morning and evening there was a veritable Skunk Parade through the campground, including one Grandfather Skunk that was something like 3 ft long. Our kid was a toddler and our friends had 3 kids from grade school to toddler, and of course the toddlers thought they were fascinating
