    Star has 3 years left at $27M.  By comparison, Corey Liuget is league minimum.  They should offer Phillips the remainder of Star's contract, plus maybe another $3M.

     

     

    Star's guaranteed money doesn't permit that math, and letting Star go just opens up another hole they have to fill.

     

    Star will be around at least one more year and probably 2, based on his guaranteed $$.

    And didn't BB go 5-11 with Drew Bledsoe and start the next season 0-2? I think BB was also a HC in Cleveland, but these are just pesky facts that get in the way of a narrative. 

     

    Belichick also won 2 SBs as Parcells's defensive coordinator, one we might remember well. 

     

    You say it's a narrative like it's a speculative Internet theory born from Twatter. Belichick's record as NFL head coach is incomparable, even with a few seasons where he didn't make the playoffs. To point to his very few seasons of where he was not doing well as some kind of counterpoint is weak sauce.

    Completely disagree. Go back and watch. He tried to rip Garrett’s helmet off first. I’m not even sure how this is debatable. 

     

    Exactly. He was being a jagoff way before he received the helmet smash. Rudolph is the lesser transgressor here for sure but he's not without blame. Tearing off someone's helmet on purpose is not nothing.

    I am not sure how old you are but the only back I have seen be great behind a average line is Barry Sanders. No one else has been special behind anything less than above average line for many years since 85 at least. McCaffrey is great but without money for a line I doubt he has chance to show it.

     

    Agreed. Sanders was unreal behind a sieve of a line.

    Im from NY, and now live down south.   I do get annoyed when I witnessed more racist views living up north than down here, yet have to hear people who probably never lived in the south talk about how racist it must be. 

     

     

    I lived in Mississippi and Louisiana. 

     

    It's more racist down there. No question. Not in an "everyone's a little bit racist" way either.

    Finished season 1 of Another Life on Netflix, starring Katee Sackhoff of Battle Star Galactica fame. Set in the near future, an alien artifact lands on Earth which prompts a space journey by a large diverse group of 20-30 year olds to find out its origin and reason, led by Sackhoff. If you like the current versions of Lost in Space and Star Trek you’ll like it. 

     

    That one didn't work for me. I found the plot plodding and the acting poor (including Sackhoff, whose acting range may not extend beyond her Starbuck character's). When they dedicated an entire episode to "ship trouble" and not advancing the plot, I finally checked out.

    I kinda feel Foster and Roberts are making it difficult for Duke to get in the game.  Foster (the Alabama favorite) suits up because I guess they feel sooner or later he and Josh will connect on some deep shots, though I wont hold my breath. Roberts the (ST player) is active because of his return ability but Roberts the (WR) is pretty much M.I.A .  

     

    Foster is in for ST too. He's usually the first one to the ball on coverage. 

     

    The coaches see Duke every day in practice. They are holding him out for a reason, and it's not because he's awesome and they are trying to score less.

    I absolutely marvel out how both Smith and Dimarco are on an NFL roster. Let alone the Bills. If both guys were released tomorrow I doubt any team would pick them up. Even if it was a position of need. At some point doesn't performance outweigh process?

     

    DiMarco is an important piece as blocking back. It's an unsung role and I'm fine with him there. What makes me nuts is lining him up out wide. I understand why they do it but if they do it once every two games, it's too much. Lee Smith is in a similarly unsung role as blocking TE but the issue there is the penalties.

    I'd want Star cut regardless of Phillips resigning FWIW

     

    This makes no financial sense. He's got a lot of dead cap money the next two years. Unless he is not even worth rotating, they probably keep him. 

     

    If they cut him, they pay 8M next year and 5 the year following for him to bag groceries, AND pay for his replacement, probably dumping 15M into a position where they will still be weak.

    Sam Young is not an upgrade from Cody Ford.

     

    That's not what they are after. They are trying to fill the emergency backup RT role. There's no one good who has just been sitting unsigned right now. Whoever they sign is going to be pretty bad. They are just hoping to pick the best one of the worst ones available.
