Dead & Co. for me. I believe JA is a fan of them also.

I thought they would on occasion use Elam's skills as a man corner. Like even last year I thought they would use him to press the receivers at the line.  WRs like Hill or something. I didn't think he looked all that bad out there last year. Looks like its zone or bust for this team.  Maybe Benford has just been that good for them. Sometimes you get lucky late.  Sometimes first round picks bust. That is true for all teams.  I don't think this kid is a bust though.  I think maybe he just doesn't fit our defense and they were hoping to make a square peg fit a round hole type of thing.

Hopefully the field is not a factor tonight 

It's supposed to get better as the game goes on.  I hope it doesn't impact the game too.

They signed a deal earlier today, AFAIK

The latest as far as rain radar.

 

Weather.com is saying it should clear by 7:30.  

 

I have the radar stopped at 8:07 and looks to have left the area....hopefully.

Maybe instead of going bonkers over Elam being scratched we can realize that this team is so deep that a first-round pick can’t crack the game-day roster.  
 

and maybe instead of jumping all over Beane for “wasting” a pick we can realize that the reason they scratched Elam is simply that another guy they drafted is better.

 

We’re supposed to play Elam because he’s a first round pick? That’s what bad teams do.  Good teams play their best players. If Elam doesn’t like it, maybe he can work to get better.

are they not playing him for a reason? he is a good athlete

I think it’s mental with him…. He has all the physical tools… Again, very disappointing. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Watching the first hour of Monday Night Countdown on ESPN.  ***** spent 60 minutes extolling the Jest, ballwashing A A Ron, and trashing the Bills.  We need to curb stomp these #######s.  I hope the Bills are watching the pre-game and getting angry.

Spectrum reached a deal. The channels are back.

[Dan in Owego]

Elam is Leodis level dumb this might be the best thing ever for him, and if not I can almost guarantee he won't excel somewhere else either.

 

Sucks on the draft capitol end still excited about Benford.

No you don't play him because he's a 1st round pick, a 1st round pick is supposed to win the job. It'd be great if it's just because Benford is great but he also didn't beat Dane Jackson either.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

I'm going to pay extra attention to Bernard tonight. Would love to be wrong about him but I think he is going to get embarrassed several times tonight.

Wings grilled and on bar.

 

Decided to make some Chicken Wing Soup since the wife unfroze one of my large homemade chicken broths.

 

The key is to find old mature chickens for your chicken broth.

Making the stock at 176 degrees Fahrenheit is the key
