Hockey sticks can be useful as a mouse deterrent. I've had the best luck with the white tomcat traps: https://www.lowes.com/pd/TOMCAT-2-Count-Press-N-Set-Mouse-Trap/50259657#

Eh, sounds like he needs to drink more water

I didn't do a deep dive or anything, but I did like Teller's base and punch the couple times I noticed him. When Teller wasn't in the mix to start at the beginning of the season I just assumed he didn't have a good grasp of his assignments which normally is a playing time killer. It would be nice if they can find a couple more interior lineman like him late in the 2019 draft, that's for sure.

My understanding from the press was the guaranteed money hasn't been to his liking in the contract offers and he's concerned about the wear and tear on his body after around 400 touches last season. I'm glad he's holding the steelers' feet to the fire, remember it isn't only this year he's been franchised.

The planning was for him to play sooner rather than later, hence them getting rid on McCarron. If you want to call it botching, fine, but once they got rid of McCarron Allen was not going to be sitting for long. That was the plan. I would say poor play by Peterman is what caused that to happen. It's unfortunate Allen got hurt, but if he hadn't he would be getting a lot of experience right now.

Seems like a recipe to get the rookie as much playing time as possible, for better or worse in the win column to me.

Yeah, I think it's too late for him to respond to coaching. The only thing that might motivate him is the right environment where the players can call him out.

Considering it took Tyrod at least three seconds to find someone "open", I think you need to scheme and any good coach would. I tend to look more at what they produced as a unit, coaching included, because you have to have strength(s) to scheme to. I'm not seeing too many strengths with this group, other than being able to quickly help our qb or ball carrier back up to their feet after the guy they missed blocking makes the sack/tackle.

I don't get this - Glenn Ritchie Wood Miller/Ducasse and Dawkins is far better than what we're putting out there now.

Hmmmm, almost like the qb position was planned to suck except for the rookie...

Flop? Come on man, he legit tripped over the turf...

It's all about Allen at this point, so... 1) Get Josh Allen a QB mentor that will be here for 4 or so years and get him a QB coach that does more than chew gum at an alarmingly fast rate. 2) I saw Sirles get some time yesterday, didn't hear about an injury to Mills, so keep that up and find out what we have in reserve on the oline, especially when it won't get Allen killed. I would say the same for wr, but I don't think we have anyone talented enough. I guess just see if Pryor is worth a contract next season. 3) In the off season, find Josh Allen a go to receiver that is tall, has greater than a 5" vertical and wants to win a jump ball with a 5' 10" guy (I'm looking at you KB). If Pryor does work out and we find a go to target, our top three wr wouldn't be terrible. 4) Get someone to evaluate offensive players, in the front office and the field. The folks that decided Nate Peterman and Ryan Groy were starters coming out of camp should be demoted/replaced with folks who know what they're talking about or just overrule them. Beane needs to hire someone to tell him what offensive pro personnel to sign because he's not doing a good enough job. 5) After that, for me, it's about the oline. In the draft we may be high enough to get a pass rusher in the first and I'm okay with that, but you better hit on 2nd and 3rd round guys for the offense and at least one of them needs to be a starting oline. We should be able to get another one in FA and hopefully one of the guys we have already will improve enough to start. 6) The rest of our 10 picks should help our depth and special teams. Olineman, wr's, a dynamic punt returner and backup dl, lb and db's to help with field position on special teams. 7) As for te, I'm a believer that the bottom of the first round is a nice place to grab one. To me, spending a high pick on te is for after you made the playoffs with a solid team and you can get someone to take you to the next level. Most TE's are not only dependent on the qb and oline, but also need decent wr's to have enough space to work in. So a top te is the final piece for my offense, but that would be 2020 at the earliest. If we need some middle tiers folks, grab someone in fa, I'm guessing Clay may get cut after the season. 8) At rb, I don't like Murphy because he can't pass block, so I'd try to replace him with as talented a guy as possible. Ride out the contacts of Shady and Ivory and draft as needed after 2019

Sounds like a boat model

Fire up the start Peterman threads

Goodbye murphy

And again kb screws up

Gotta blame him for not using ivory more, although ivory is out I guess?

I'm thinking more pass catching in the slot.

He's giving us a chance to get first downs

Why can't we use McCoy like we used to use thurman?

Hopefully dabol was holding onto that matcup for the second half

He can take van noy or chung

Still being told where to line up, what did beane and McDermott see in him?

Send shady outside as a wr, run ivory between the tackles

JK's got plenty of other things to do. I'll offer my services. Mr Pegula, buy me a house, pay me 250K a year and I'll move my family back to the area and babysit him. Obviously family has not worked for him, so I'll provide the hammer to straighten him out. I need a workout buddy anyway, so it's a win win.
