  1. It is possible that Shorter will suffer that severe case of hangnail or halitosis or whatever it is that appears to afflict so many late-round draft picks who have high physical potential, but need seasoning. All around the league at the start of the season It has to be channeled and controlled, is the thing
  2. Would be fair return for Zay Jones finally showing something in HIS 5th.....3 years after the Bills gave up and moved on
  3. pretty sure you want your MLB to be physical and relentless from the snap to the whistle, but then focus on the next play
  4. Uh-oh, Injury news on Gabe Davis Bad news for Spector, and just when Bernard still injured and Dodson going berserk might open an opportunity.
  5. I think Beane better heat up the trade wire and scrutinize possible cuts after LBers. Dodson seem like he trippin'
  6. I'd say, make the Defense take the short side of the 26/24 split for a change, but I think we all know that a snowball in 🔥 is more likely
  7. It's an interesting question to me, actually. Kyler Murray had a pretty good passing year in 2020, I thought. Isabella was 4th on the depth chart behind Hopkins, Christian Kirk, and the Ghost of Larry Fitzgerald. In 2021, the Cards replaced Larry Fitz with AJ Green and Zach Ertz, and drafted Rondale Moore, who superceded Isabella on the depth chart and in 2022, they waived him. A good question is why the Baltimore Ravens released him towards the end of July. So it's not just one offense he's washed out of, but effectively 3 (Kingsbury, Roman, and Todd Monken). From what Dorsey and others are saying, he works hard and is doing his best to "get in the playbook", so what went wrong previously? In other news, Look who's back? Back in town?
  8. I'm not persuaded, but then again --- I'm not persuaded that Torrance will be starting at RG and so forth I agree that Shakir hasn't seized the slot role, but I think where Sherfield was playing vs the Colts was a function of Diggs being out and Sherfield "next man up" there, vs. the Bills not liking him in the slot. Joe B points out that the "first man up" when the Bills put 11 personnel on the field was actually Deonte Harty, and his day was done earlier than Shakir, so I do think the Bills like him as more than "gadget guy" and may see both Sherfield and Harty as ahead of Shakir.
  9. I would say Milano is unconvinced
  10. Practice at 9:30, how long is it usually? If it's 90 minutes, should be over soon and start hearing from reporters
  11. Preaseason Week 2 depth chart. No changes observed other than the disappearance of Brandon Shell
  12. You're thinking about his head?
  13. You wrote "he is the most experienced linebacker we have....". The point is he is NOT the most experienced linebacker at playing MLB. He has no experience playing at MLB. Maybe he would adjust, maybe he wouldn't, but in the meantime you are substituting a learning curve at 1 position for a learning curve at 2 positions.
  14. You can check the play by play in the PDF available at the bottom of "game details". Beas played in the 1Q, with Tyrod Taylor and then DeVito. Crowder played early in the 2nd with DeVito.
  15. The Giants signed Paris Campbell, who is primarily a slot, for $2.9M guaranteed. Then they signed Jamison Crowder to a VSB (vet salary benefit) contract with small signing, workout, and roster bonuses. Then they signed Beasley to vet minimum with NO bonuses The general feeling on folks covering the Giants seems to be that Shepard, Slayton, Hodgins, 3rd round pick Jalin Hyatt, and Parris Campbell are sho-ins. That probably leaves one roster spot. Crowder can return punts and kicks - did last year and the year before. Beasley has returned punts and kicks in the past, but has not done so since 2018. Some Giants writers are putting Beasley ahead of Crowder. Both caught everything thrown at them in the game vs the Lions, Crowder 2 of 2 for 32 yds, Beasley 4 of 4 for 33 yds. Beasley played in the 1Q, Crowder in the 2Q, which is often held to indicate position on the depth chart, but it's only the 1st preseason game.
  16. Some of the other players in that video are also wearing long sleeves (Gabe Davis, Deonte Harty, Trent Sherfield, a couple of guys who are standing around and I can't see their #s). Let's start worrying about their elbows, too. Please get a job. If you have a job, please get a hobby.
  17. Imagine being Josh Allen and having every single decision you make micro-analyzed. Maybe he wants to practice his sliding and doesn't want turf burns on his elbows. 🩹 Or maybe he's hiding track marks 🤦‍♂️ Or maybe he's cold. Josh has actually worn long sleeve shirts to practice a fair bit. 68 in Orchard Park right now, can feel chilly when you exercise then stop.
  18. We have a long-standing tradition at TBD of having people observe a player's success at one position, and deciding they would be just as successful at a very different position. Milano is a top linebacker - as an off-ball linebacker. He has zero, zip, nada, no experience at MLB. He would have a learning curve there.
  19. it's not infalliable, but the way a team ranks it's WR is often reflected in $$ Beasley is #8 for the Giants I don't know if it's a function of injury then continuing recovery, but I thought he was slow getting to the spot in 2021 and painfully slow in 2022. He was making or attempting to make some circus catches, but in part that was because he wasn't where he was supposed to be (yet) when the ball was thrown
  20. I could be wrong, but I don't think Beasley wants to live on the practice squad. Guy has $38.9M in career earnings, and unless you count recording equipment or building basketball courts on his properties, I don't think he's squandered it a bit. PS guys make a max of what, $385k? What's 1% to Beasley? He wants to play, and he thinks he's still got it.
