  1. Also Curtis Samuel. It makes you wonder if any of them are going to be ex-spectorated.
  2. We voted on that yesterday... you have to start checking your emails.
  3. I believe his calf is experiencing pelvic soreness... or some sort of spleen ailment. His birthday is May 2nd... he turned 17 years old. Who's Alex Brasky? The Giants-Bills topic was 62 pages so I think you're underestimating by a fair amount.
  4. The specific concern is that McDermott himself has stated that MLB and safety are the two most difficult to learn positions in his defense and the two positions most crucial to success. In addition McDermott himself has expressed frustration with Bishop. Last year due to his training camp injury, Bishop got out of the gates slowly, took all season to catch up and only started 4 games. This year Bishop was given the starting job and proceeded to again get hurt in training camp. He has missed two weeks of work and McDermott said the other day that the team is unsure of what Bishop is and isn't capable of.
  5. I certainly suffer from a patient and respectful form of "Hamlin Fatigue" as I'm sure many Bills fans do. Unfortunately I believe in some cases that the fatigue has morphed into an animosity towards him... especially when coupled with the perception of him as a borderline player. My prediction (especially because Bills on Hard Knocks was announced in May) is that this series will appropriately and finally close the book on the Hamlin story. I think many will be relieved. Yes, I seem to remember reading that the Bills were able to dictate terms of the production because they consented to be on the show. Yeah, McDermott is a high character person but at 51 years old, he'll never be a good public speaker and even in athletics, I think it's important for leaders to be able to articulate messages well. Hopefully this area doesn't limit his success. From the standpoint of a fan, I would rather have an owner who is 1) engaged and involved but not 2) meddling. Pegula is ideal in this regard. As for episode 2, I'll stick with my take after episode 1: Kind of boring in a good way The AV production values are excellent. It's a feast for the eyes. For me the best part was the phone conversation between McDermott and Marv. It's really quite unbelievable that Marv is 100 years old. His mental acumen is probably greater than most people 35 years younger than him.
  6. "Your world frightens and confuses me... sometimes the honking horns of your traffic makes me want to get out of my BMW and run off into the hills..."
  7. I move that we bar salad jokes...
  8. Aye, he runs like a colt on a fresh pitch of turf grass coated in morning dew...
  9. Don't forget they traded for Deshaun Watson. If you believe the rumors leaking out of Cleveland, they're about to make him the highest-paid player in NFL history... and sign him to the first fully-guaranteed contract worth over $300 million.
  10. It's not a matter of worse or better... it's a matter of timing... 4 years of timing. This just in... the Browns have gone live for the press conference...
  11. Congratulations guys... you're all old. 😛
  12. According to my research, that Jack Jones passed away last year at the age of 86 years old... so I'm unsure whether it's the same guy. I'll defer to the more knowledgable fans on this one.
  13. To add some context, the cornerback victimized on the great majority of those throws was Jack Jones. He's had some on-field and off-field incidents and is generally considered to be a talented head case with questionable character. He's currently listed as 2nd string on the Dolphins depth chart.
  14. In your scenario do you see them on separate horses or the same horse? Side saddle? Just to play devil's advocate, isn't it possible that Bishop returned to practice sooner than he would have had McDermott not expressed his frustration? Hairston was injured on day 6 of training camp. He had as many good moments as he had learning moments. Tre White?
  15. The video was inconclusive though it appeared Stewart was stumbling forward. Per CBS Sports: While it was instigated by Stewart's hit of Burrow, the fight was also an accumulation of Cincinnati's offensive line getting pushed around by Cincinnati's defensive line throughout practice. Stewart's hit of Burrow was the straw that broke the camel's back. "I think we got a little loose from an O-line perspective today," Bengals center Ted Karras said afterwards. "Some things transpired that warranted a response, and Lucas delivered that. I thought we handled it well overall. It wasn't like a shut down the practice type of scuffle. And probably about time we had one of those." Karras was asked about Stewart and if he likes the level of intensity that the team's first-round pick brings to practice. "Hell yeah," Karras said. "Just be smarter. ... Great player. But, come on, man. That's all our hopes and dreams right there. And we got to be better, too. That's on us." Karras is right. While Stewart hitting Burrow is inexcusable, the Bengals' offensive line has got to protect their Pro Bowl quarterback if Cincinnati is going to have success this season." It seems like a pretty minor incident.
  16. There's research which shows that cannabis use is helpful in managing certain types of pain and also aids as a muscle relaxant. It's also considered generally helpful for those suffering PTSD. These effects would be beneficial to NFL players. Beane looks really stoned. Also, O-linemen can be found in the middle and lower rounds of the draft (Edwards entered the league as a 5th rounder) and we all know of Aaron Kromer's ability to identify and develop O-linemen. Thanks for posting that link. Don't know if this helps but per PFT (a credible source of contract terms): 1. Signing bonus: $9 million. 2. 2025 base salary: $1.28 million, fully guaranteed. 3. 2026 option bonus: $7.4 million (see below for guarantee details). 4. 2026 workout bonus: $250,000. 5. 2026 base salary: $2.01 million (see below for guarantee details). 6. 2026 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. 7. 2027 workout bonus: $250,000. 8. 2027 base salary: $9.13 million, guaranteed for injury at signing; on the fifth day of the 2026league year, $6.22 million becomes fully guaranteed, with the remaining $2.91 million vesting in on the fifth day of the 2027 league year. 9. 2027 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. 10. 2028 workout bonus: $250,000. 11. 2028 base salary: $9.681 million, $1.18 million of which is guaranteed for injury. 12. 2028 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. 13. 2029 workout bonus: $250,000. 14. 2029 base salary: $10.41 million. 15. 2029 per-game roster bonus: $340,000 total. For 2026, $5 million is fully guaranteed at signing. Another $4.41 million is guaranteed for injury; it converts to full guarantee in on February 9, 2026. The contract includes a $1 million escalator for 2028, if any year from 2025 through 2027 he participates in 45 percent of the offensive snaps and the team makes the playoffs. The contract also includes a $1 million escalator for 2029, if any two years from 2025 through 2028 he participates in 45 percent of the offensive snaps and the team makes the playoffs in those same two seasons. The new-money average on the four-year extension is $11.5 million per year, with $15.28 million fully guaranteed at signing. By 2026, the full guarantee increases to $25.91 million. The total injury guarantee is $30 million, with $28.82 million fully guranteed by 2027. From signing, the contract has a value of $10.254 million per year over five years; Cook was due to make $5.271 million in 2025. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/inside-the-james-cook-deal
  17. Did you happen to see him in a pet store?
  18. This is true but by itself, it doesn't make him a Top 5 QB. Also Sando's tiers doesn't quite take into account fragility. What are the chances that Stafford is healthy for 17 regular season games?
  19. The irony is that the Hairston pick was probably made to address some of these criticisms... he wasn't by any means a safe pick. On the contrary he was a guy with elite traits and a very high ceiling. We saw flashes of that in the handful of practices he participated in. His speed and quickness are off the charts. Give it a chance.
  20. Good thing they aren't a basketball team... We've been through this before... this Drew Haddad, Part Deux.
  21. You're like my wife... you didn't finish the story.
  22. From the video White Steve looks like a long strider who can get behind defenses but if thrown to underneath, isn't gonna break too many tackles or make people miss. I don't think he's a big ROC guy.
