You could get a squirrel baffle too, that way you don't have to remember to put the vaseline on regularly.

I'm out on Adams. My money is on him acting more like Sammy Watkins in Buffalo than a professional football player. He has physical talent though. I don't see Nsekhe gone unless they can find someone else to back up Dawkins. I'd be surprised if Bates becomes that guy this year. Wanted to add I don't think the opportunities will be as plentiful for non-53 oline (and others) this offseason. On top of the virus cutting some of the teaching time short, if our coaches are serious about making a playoff run I think they will work the top seven guys in camp and just make the best of the rest.

Count me in for this as a best case scenario too, it will mean Williams and Ford are performing well enough to supplant the others. The only issue might be the RT spot could be injury prone, but if needed Ford could go out there for some more learnin'.

First time in my life I saw a scarlet tanager this weekend while at a state park in the area. Seems like they stay in the canopy of the forest mostly, so it was kind of cool to see it. I had no idea what it was when I saw it, thought it looked like a red instead of yellow canary finch.

Gotta go with "The Flaming Table".

Umm, let's not hurt his feelings - he's vegetable challenged.

Why torch that bridge? He's from the area and if he wants to play after Brady hangs it up, maybe he comes up to play. If there's any residual feelings tre should work it out with him.

Was kind of hoping the author provided a couple of qbs on a parallel path to Josh and compare/contrast their situations. Josh is getting there and hopefully he can trust Diggs et al more this year. I still think we could use a good te, I've always thought once you have a playoff caliber roster you can spend some draft capital on one. Maybe next year.

If you put the title of yout thread INto the search function what do you see?

And really to get enough practice time in Wade would have to spend less time practicing with the offense, there's only one place he can be at a time. I also hope if he doesn't make the 53 they just put him on the regular PS so he might have a chance to play considering his age.

There's a difference between loving to play the game and being a professional football player. The competition he will face both from his oline teammates as well as from our defensive front should open his eyes. I think his technique isn't good, but when he plays against smaller guys it looks better than it actually is. That's why his feet look slow when he plays against better competition. For example, if you had 4-6 inches on another person, it would be easier for you to impose your will him. I think he's a very long shot. It will be easier for him to get injured again and blame it all on that.

I was aware of the coat issue on the sidelines in college, but did not hear/remember about the joke made in the Bills interview. To me, it seemed like the coach had told him not to wear the coat in the locker room but Ed did anyway. But that's my opinion. In any case, the actions of the clubs are the deciding factor. If you had asked me before the draft if Trey would have been drafted I wouldn't have had much of a clue, the interview was just some smoke. Since he wasn't, that means the interview was the tip of the iceburg and teams who do all the other research into character etc found enough to not take him. Even if his drop had just been about injury there should have been a taker on day 3 considering the facilities available to professional players. That didn't happen. In Ed's case, the Bills' research put the joke in context, and that context did not stop the Bills from taking Ed. If the Bills had uncovered evidence of a personality trait they did not like then he would not have been taken by us. I said this in another post, but I think Trey will be a test for the culture we have. He needs to go out there and compete, which means every day and I hope our team can bring it out in him. This won't be college where he was big enough to impose his will on people and not work on his strength and technique. I also don't see releasing a hype video as a great start to a professional career when the league's teams have already told you they don't value you enough to spend a draft pick on you. As with the draft, I don't know if Trey will make the 53 or practice squad or we'll find a way to get him on IR, but what the Bills do with him will tell me how seriously he is taking this opportunity.

One answer, in a job interview that is know for whacky questions and where you have time to prepare as well as people to help you prepare? What does that say about his commitment? What would you do if you were interviewing someone for any job and they came back with that answer? Would you want to stake your job and your team on that type of attitude? How about if you had the interview for your dream job and you said that? I'm sure the NFL teams did additional research on him to try and vet all that out and whatever they found was enough for them to take him either off their list or so far down he didn't get picked. Given the circumstances, yeah, it's enough for me.

He's going to be a test of our culture, because it seems like he's been coasting in college. Injuries can mean lack of preparedness and so can answering a question like that with future employers listening. Hopefully he'll pull his head out of his ass long enough to earn a spot on the practice squad. The team culture should be his best shot to turn it around, some of our vets will hopefully get in his grill if he brings weak effort.

Guess what? It's not everyone else, it's you. Buh-bye!

Agree, although seems like Hoyer will start the year. Either way looks like a lot of running the ball for them. Their qb situation reminds me of Kolb and ej, anyone with boots on the ground able to lay some strategic mats when training camp starts?

I'd like to sit down with McDermott and ask him how difficult it was to send Kelvin Benjamin onto the field every week. Wow, I forgot how bad he was.

I really don't want to see Fromm play next year. We need to play the best guy and that means the guy who has the best chance to win a game. We're not a developmental team anymore, we don't need to see what we have. If Fromm earns the backup spot that's one thing, but the odds are stacked against him even more this particular year. Now if Barkley has to play and he doesn't look like he can get you to the playoffs, that's a different story. That's kind of what Pittsburgh went through last year, Rudolph started but couldn't keep it going.

I just can't stop thinking it's Ginger Ferrell

I didn't see the one where he tore Rod Woodson's acl.... Found it, around :52 is the slow mo oh **** moment:

Sorry Joe, I'm out. Have fun arguing with whoever else wants to.

It's not how the Pats* did it and it's not how the Steelers are doing it. Seems like you just like to take a position and practice arguing. I used to own a bar and I had a regular just like to argue about how good the other team was and get everyone riled up. I asked him one time why he did it and he said he just loved getting the rise out of folks. Your name Joe?

Or "get hurt" and end up not playing at all. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. I don't see how as a coach that you can't tailor your offensive plan to take advantage of one of the most talented guys in the league, and that in and of itself is going to be a problem for LaFleur. Even if you're a run heavy team, why wouldn't you go get a burner, his effectiveness as a deep threat is multiplied because you know AR can get the ball out to him. Really seems egotistical on LaFleur's part to me. As far as Rodgers forcing McCarthy out, Mike himself admitted that he didn't continue to innovate and his offense got stale so that really isn't a valid criticism, probably more like AR feeling like McCarthy was not going to help him get to the Super Bowl. I have to think AR was trying to get changes to the offense and there was nothing happening for him so he forced the issue. Really it comes down to winning, which they pretty well did last year. But there is tape out there now and the "new coach bump" may not sustain them into this year. Taking a future QB might be good for the team overall but you actually fall behind the other teams in your division because they're picking guys that are probably playing this year. And yes, given the razor thin difference in talent among the top teams, one player can matter, especially a first rounder.

It doesn't seem like Kraft swims in the over 30 side of the booty pool.

Beane mentioned in his post draft zoom he was leaving a couple roster spots open for free agents with the post draft wave of cuts
