Parsons will never hit open free agency, so if a team wants to acquire him it’d have to be through trade.

I think it was under “sexy” Rexy that the team actually scrimmaged in these night practices, no?

I’d be against it too if Beane hit big on at least a few other blue chippers besides Allen. Rousseau is probably his 2nd best first round draft pick given position and production. Would you trade Rousseau, Edmunds, and Elam/Kincaid/or Oliver for Parsons? I know I sure would.

I remember Aaron Williams wore 23 as well. I’m trying to think of a corner with the number but I’ve got nothing.

Pretty sure Micah Hyde wore 23

They should’ve paid him a long time ago, now his cost is astronomical. He’s the 2nd best pass rusher in football, behind only Myles Garrett (and yes, ahead of TJ Watt).

Looked up Dean’s draft crush, Nyck Harbor. 6’5” 230 and runs a 4.2? If he actually is a first round prospect, there’s zero chance he makes it to #32.

Bosa had a pretty big day a couple days ago, beat reporters were raving it was his best practice. Epenesa, I heard he was manhandled by Jackson Hawes, to the point he tripped over a teammate who was already on the ground and the normally quiet and reserved AJ was fiery and pissed at Hawes. That’s all I’ve heard about him. Landon Jackson I’ve heard nothing, but Javon Solomon has supposedly taken a big step forward in year 2.

Bobby’s praise of Deone Walker was pretty effusive. I wonder if Walker has looked better than Sanders thus far.

The most unforgivable Hamlin play - to me - was that opening TD Derrick Henry took for 70 or whatever it was. He lacked anything on the play - instincts, positioning, athleticism, aggression - he was late to attack the hole Henry sprang through and failed to take a good angle to cut him off. The big run he gave up to Jonathan Taylor was pretty similar. If you’re going to be a marginal athlete, you have to know your angles. Rapp is a perfect example - he’s a worse athlete than Hamlin but often makes the stops a safety should.

The Chiefs rookie LT Simmons is on pace to be their opening day starter. The LT they just signed from the 49ers for $15M/yr may have to compete at LG to get on the field. Otherwise that’s a very expensive contract for a backup.

He was okay, but obviously not worth re-signing, nor was he worth a day 2 pick.

It’s official then: collapsing to the ground with a non contact knee injury does not automatically mean ligament tear. Great to hear it!

In regards to Zack Moss and Devin Singletary, I hope the Bills have learned their lesson in spending day 2 picks on slow, undersized backs that do nothing exceptionally well.

I said it before but it bears repeating: in all my years of watching football, I’ve never seen or heard of anyone collapsing to the ground after a non contact knee injury that didn’t involve tearing a ligament. I hope this is the first case ever so I’ll have a reference to draw from in the future.

If Hairston actually knows something about his knee, I wonder why he wouldn’t just come out and say it rather than posting vague or ambiguous messages.

Im trying to think, has there ever been a non-contact knee injury where a player fell to the ground that didn’t involve the ACL? If Hairston got lucky and didn’t tear it, he’d be the first case I’ve heard of.

I saw a dour look in his eyes, for sure, but no tears, or visible crying.

True, but “nothing at all” typically doesn’t bring all the DBs together, with one consoling Hairston. It’s not “nothing,” the matter is just how serious.

Yeah, I thought typical fan overreaction before I opened the video and watched. I have to admit that doesn’t look good. At all. Doesn’t have to be a full tear though, could be a serious ligament sprain.

If Coleman pans out, the need for another WR is severely overblown.

You know, after I posted that I thought it was Oliver, I got to thinking… there’s not a home run draft pick Beane has hit on - besides Allen - that’s worthy of Terry’s bragging. That said, I’d still be surprised if it was Josh as that’s the one position everyone should be united on.

Needs better touch/more consistency on the seam ball for sure.

Agree that it was a first or second rounder. With as diligent as they were with Josh, including private jet visits to Wyoming, I’d say there’s no way it’s him. They had to be in unanimous agreement there. If I were to guess, I’d say it was Oliver - a bit of an undersized DT who had a highly publicized spat with his college coach. The pick also didn’t require a trade up.

“Terry was strongly against drafting a certain player and we took him anyway. Later when that player worked out, he’d tell everyone he was glad he convinced us to draft him.” Wonder who that player could be.
