Dodson waiting in the endzone to tackle Mixon. Real great stuff there 🙄

Williams looked great in the Pre-Season. But in the Regular Season, he's been often lost on the field. Pulled in favor of Dodson for making too many mistakes. In a vacuum, he needs reps to learn and get better. But those learning reps have too often been coming at the expense of points right now. It seems they prefer Dodson missing some tackles in position over Williams being more often out of position.

I joined in 2003 when Message Boards were the only way to discuss the team on the Internet. And I guess old habits just die hard 😆

I'm sure we at least had a discussion on Leonard Williams. Beane and Schoen are tight and Williams went for a lot for a guy who only has this season left on his contract. Imagine that was because there was competition for his services. Whether or not that was us and what we were offering if anything, who knows. But I guarantee you Schoen and Beane at least talked about it.

There's still the terminology and the calls. From the way he speaks of it and how players have, the feeling is that McDermott's Defense IS complex. I'm not saying I'd be opposed to him playing, if they want to put him out there. But on 2 practices and 4 days with the Playbook, if they determine he should sit this week, it a.) Would not surprise me and b.) Not be without good reason. Even if it's unpopular.

Could do more harm than good if he's out of position because he doesn't know the calls. We don't do a lot of man to man. He's got to get down who's covering what zones on each playcall. Don't want to make his first impression be blowing zone coverage or running into people.

I don't know that he does. Beane said he probably wouldn't. Two practices and 4-5 days with the playbook isn't a lot of time to get the calls and terminology down. If he does, it would probably be just a small package of plays.

Sadly, given the uncertainty of his health, the cap situation we're in, and the contract he's on - he will probably have extra motivation in being released. There is an out in his contract after this season that would save a lot of cap space in '24 and '25 by invoking. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/tredavious-white-21768/

Chase Young has Jadeveon Clowney vibes. All the talent and physical traits in the world. But is lacking in effort and/or competitive fire to truly play up to his potential consistently.

Before watching them this week, I'd tend to agree. However, it looks like they're healthy and back on track. I'm all for positivity and the doom and gloom is a little much. But I don't think fans are overhyping them. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle of what you posted and the doom and gloom. If we pull this off, it's going to be a battle.

Gotta imagine someone told Muki to take that down and then the mods just deleted the post because the tweet no longer existed.

Hopefully he at least gets a Limited in tomorrow and another Limited or Full on Friday. Something to keep an eye on. He's a warrior and I doubt they'll shut him down unless they absolutely have to. But another DNP tomorrow would be concerning.

Hilarious looking practice designation 😆

Brian Daboll must feel he's a good set of extra eyes to have in the QB room from his time here.

I just don't think there was a starting caliber LB that was available. If there were, the asking price was too high, as there wasn't a single LB moved league wide.

I'd be surprised if he makes it to market. From the sounds of it, the Bears made him the best offer. But he and his agent wanted to see if he could get paid better by a better team. So they were able to "seek a trade" to gauge interest. They then asked for more money than the Bears offered. And if Greg Gabriel's tweet was to be believed "no one was going to pay him what he was asking". So he'll probably just take the Bears offer and extend now.

As I said in another post, the returns offered must not have been much more than a bag of balls. And at that point, it's better to just hold on to him and hope he's a late bloomer. Some players come in the league and have it right off the bat. Some players just never work out. And some players it takes years before the light goes on. Rasul Douglas was a former 3rd Round Pick of the Eagles who didn't work out. He then floated around the league a bunch. Took advantage of an opportunity on the Packers Practice Squad and then became a very solid starting ballhawk CB. Geno Smith was a bust through and through. Spent some years floating around the league and now he looks like a completely different player. Even AJ Epenesa. He was a complete afterthought. A total bust. And over the past year, the light has come on and he's playing his best ball. Long story short, if the returns being offered equate to us essentially giving him away - it's better to take the chance that maybe he'll figure it out for us. Rather than how it would look to spend a 1st on him, give him away for nothing, and watch him develop for someone else.

I was actually wrong. There were a total of SIX moves made today. In the entire league. We should count ourselves lucky that we were one of them and brought in a starter. Please tell me again how easy it is to make an impactful trade in this league at the deadline. I repeat, not a single LB was moved by any team. Anywhere, period. If one were available and was worth the price tag, we'd have done it.

My guess is the returns being offered were so low - you might as well hold on to him and hope he's a late bloomer. The CB we just acquired was a 3rd Round Pick who was considered a bust. Floated around the league a bunch. Ended up in Green Bay and then flourished. Sometimes it takes a long time for the light to go on for a player. Look at AJ Epenesa. He was completely written off and over the past year and a half he looks like a different player. If the offers were in the Round 5-7 range, might as well hold on to him. If we gave the guy away and then he develops elsewhere, it would look real foolish.

😆

No LB'ers were moved. Only 1 DT. There were a total of 6 moves made today league wide. Wanting trades to happen is all fine and good. But it takes someone wanting to trade them and the compensation to be right for it to happen. It's not the NHL or the NBA.

I also like that Tom Grossi says he is a vocal leader. We love those types here.

The price wasn't a 1st. It's 2 1st's PLUS a stud player.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! ... wait, are you serious?
