Yeah - as Simon would say - phrasing

Been taking my son since he was young like 7yrs old, but I'll never forget my daughter's first game. She went with us one time was like 10 yrs old, Raiders game on a dark overcast morning. I'll never forget walking through the satellite lots and with the dreary backdrop and fires burning and all manner of loud lubed up characters and the occasional painted Raider fan it probably seemed to her like some hellscape from a Mad Max movie - I saw her eyes get very wide and she sidled over to get right next to me for the rest of the walk in 😛

Only 6' 5"

and Tim Anderson

Did he get a lunch pail and high motor for gifts

Maybe Wawrow and Buehler have a contact and can break the story

Wasn't sure if he meant less than or greater than 😛

Out of my brain on the train

Are you saying Jones made 6 ST stops all season? I might use that as more evidence to say he's expendable 😛 Getting off Kumerow specifically (who no doubt will have more than 1 catch this year), I do think there are multiple positions where having an extra position player for depth in case of injury/circustance is more useful. I also think if a single gunner doesn't make a coverage tackle on a good STs unit, comeone else will - and this year the actual number of returned kicks/game is potentially going to be very low. Don't think either of us are going to convince the other at this point - Peace

Comparing the importance of gunner vs kicker is obviously not a great comparison. Kickoffs/FGs/EPs vs one of 11 on coverage for maybe 3-4 plays (returnable kicks) a game - and realistically the gunner isn't even involved in the tackle for all of those.

Not sure I agree about Kumerow in your example - I get your point, but to me it's more about having a depth player at some other position avail depending on injuries, gameplan etc

Agree - I don't understand why so many associate not wanting to waste a spot on a single gunner who contributes nothing else to the team to saying that ST are not important. These are the reasons to me why the team does not fall apart if Jones is not on it - Bass kickoffs into endzone = less kickoff returns - Bills punted least in the NFL last year - an average of 2.6 times/game - this could even be less this year with better offense - Haack is excellent in punts downed inside the 20 (114 of 307 kicks in career - 37%!) = even less punt returns to cover - Taiwan Jones does not make every tackle on STs - other players make coverage tackles too! - Bills emphasize acquiring/drafting/developing/coaching players with ST ability - a well coached ST unit (stay in your lanes!) with many talented ST players should be able to cover (the handful of) kicks effectively regardless of whether Taiwan Jones is on the field

Does Beane finalize a trade for Fromm at 3:45 am?

Funny, I was thinking though after all the complaints the first two games on one-sided announcing, I doubt the packer fans were thrilled with that 😛 It was a great convo though - Beane really is great at giving some meaningful comment and not just cliches

Does beane get a 5th for Fromm after that drive

You can watch it later on gamepass 😛

This is actually a pretty good convo w/ beane

Beane really wants to talk about Darryl- bodes well for him

Not sure how that fits with the protocol

Another case of opposing kicker not handling the rough conditions in Buffalo

So I guess won't get 300 then 😕

That was some good work for Josh and receivers - a whole preseason worth in a half

All that offensive penalties do is help pad Josh's stats

That's muy cool
