Rubes

Fantasy football back then was quite the adventure. Required a lot of pencils and calculators, as I recall.

Well, if we get run on badly the first few games, those calls would probably be justified...

If I had to guess, I'd say they put him on the PS because he's not up on the defensive scheme and calls. Don't want to waste a roster spot until they know he's got everything down and can play. Remember, he's the guy who would be receiving the plays and calling it out to the defense, getting everyone in place. Takes some time to get comfortable with the coaching staff and others on defense. Keep the roster spot for now for the guys who have been in the system and can jump in on a moment's notice.

Just a little something to keep in mind...and interesting in light of the Bills losing three of their cuts to waivers this year...

You'd think this was the start of free agency or something...

He's looked good enough that I'd be surprised if the Bears tried to stash him.

McCoy was just released. He's a free agent now.

@Alphadawg7 is catching some heat for this take, but I for one appreciate the thought-provoking question. It's true we have a lot of good players at CB right now, but I have to think that the phrase "you can't have too many good corners" is one that can be taken literally. Then again, everything has its price. If someone is willing to give up a promising player at another position in exchange for him or any of those corners, I think Beane is one to listen. I don't think he's going to get anything worthwhile in a 1:1 trade, but if he is packaged with a late-round pick next year, it might be enough for someone to offer a MLB or OT to make him really consider it.

Holy smokes. I hadn’t really thought about it before, but if you had asked me before reading this, I never would have guessed it was just one playoff win! Ravens seem to have built an interesting narrative over this time…

I watched Edwards a bit during that Pittsburgh game, and I have to admit I was pretty impressed. The Jets starters are a teeny bit different than the Steelers backups, but still...

I would give the Bills the edge at QB, TE, and probably S. That's about it. The rest are either pretty close, or in the Dolphins favor. Overall I'd say the Dolphins roster is confidently better. Not a landslide, though, especially because of the bonus advantage we have with Josh.

Agreed. Even though passing has increased over the years, the quick, short passing game is a big part of that, and it decreases the chance of getting a sack. QBs are now routinely rated for their “time to release” with emphasis on those who make quick decisions and get rid of the ball fast.

As long as the Pats**** get a compensatory pick, yes.

Can't believe nobody has said "bUt CaN hE pLaY RT?" yet

Agree, spent a little time talking to him, he’s very cool.

I think it probably comes down to which of the two, between Isabella and Shorter, are more likely to make it through waivers so they can be stashed on the PS. From what I read, I think Shorter would probably get snatched up before Isabella. My guess is Isabella makes it onto the PS this year and possibly gets called up.

Cool! I did something like that years ago...looks like it was 2016. I'm sure some of it is way out of date now, but in case there are some on there that you could use... https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?hl=en&mid=1Ib5SnxMUOlaXxe0AoFGANRtuOiA&ll=42.9437290469228%2C-78.828915&z=11

Stayed there a couple years ago, it's fantastic. And in a great area if you like the hip Elmwood shops and stores. I'd definitely stay there again.

Now THIS is the content I come here for! 😆

I'm fine with their offense being spotty to start the season, but that defense is going to cause problems for us like they did last year. I mean, they beat us last year with a powerful defense and a crappy QB. It's not like they need to improve dramatically on offense to take us out. I like our chances but it's not going to be a cake walk even if Rogers is sulking and causing trouble.

Not me, I've been waiting and waiting for it...hoping it arrives before the first preseason game...

Especially if you put him out there consistently with Knox, who is a decent blocker, then the defense really doesn't know who is going out in a pattern and who is staying in to block, and hence who to assign to them. With Josh so good at RPOs, you could just let him see how they line up and pick the best option. That would be fun to watch.

If Kincaid can learn how to block effectively, that could really create some nightmares for DCs.

Thought about reffing years ago. Friend of mine happened to be doing it and his advice was that he wouldn’t get into it anymore because of the abuse. Seems like it would be fun but who wants to be a target like that on a regular basis?

Where's the option for "This place is like Hotel California. Please send help, I can't leave."
