Football is a violent game. And even if you are not getting serious trauma injuries every other week, your body is constantly getting beat up. Almost noone plays every game every season in the NFL...unless you are Bruce Mathews or Brett Favre. And Favre's career ended on the cold University of Minnesota turf on a Monday Night in December 2010 against I believe the Bears with him laying on the ground half conscience with a purple left ankle that was mangled and a concussion. (I was a big Favre fan and was in Vegas watching at the Mirage Sportsbook. My girlfriend and I were both like, its over for him.) My son played football from when he was 6 through college at Georgia Southern. He played O line, D line, TE, LB and QB. He got beat up all the time from about the time he was 9 til he finished in college. His main injuries in high school were a broken foot from getting stepped on, when blocking for a punt. His ankle got rolled up on his junior year in HS catching a pass, breaking it and tearing ligaments. And in college he got his knee rolled up on in a scrum against LSU and tearing the hell out of his knee in the first game of the 2019 season. He probably had a few concussions throughout as well. But nothing that messed him up for too long and too severely. And he played most of his senior season with a mangled shoulder. And then at his pro day in the Spring two years ago, he severely sprained his hamstring, and for all intents and purposes his career was over. My point is that football is a very violent physical game. My son was not particularly injury prone. But he played in the trenches mostly with a lot of big dudes. And my son was a tough hombre who would mix it up with everyone on the field. You are going to get injured. That's part of the game. Lets not crush Bosa just yet. I for one think he will be a big addition. He likes to mix it up. Guys who do that tend to get hurt more. It could be worse, we could have Mike Trout. LOL

You are right about the ways Coleman's skillset are best applied in the NFL. I said this as long ago as February 2024. Way before he was a Bill. Can he be Michael Thomas? I have my doubts on that. Three reasons: Reason 1 - Thomas's understanding of leverage and route pacing was way in advance of what we have seen so far from Keon, he can develop it but right now that gap is still significant; Reason 2 - Josh Allen ain't Drew Brees who probably threw the slant and the slot seam better than any other QB I have seen in my 25 years watching the sport. There is obviously a ton Josh does better than Drew, but those two routes and the Saints success with Big Slots - from Colston to Graham to Thomas - was as much about the Quarterback as it was about the receivers; and Reason 3 - the Bills have a logjam in the slot. The only receiver on their roster I would say is outside first, slot second is Josh Palmer. I think Keon should be a big slot first, outside guy in certain packages but to get snaps in the slot the queue includes Khalil Shakir (the Bills didn't just pay him to play him less) Dalton Kincaid, a former first round pick who they have to take a big decision on next spring, Curtis Samuel, Elijah Moore and even Dawson Knox and James Cook in certain looks. I just don't think he will get sufficient opportunity to break out there to the maximum. If Keon can get to 800 yards and double his touchdown production to 8 by being a redzone weapon that will be a really solid year. Anything more would be above my expectations.

That's his other go to when he's painted himself into another corner. Quack remember when you said that by all accounts Biden speaks better than he did decades ago? -
Sometimes I legit wonder if training staffs just make these injuries up to intentionally keep guys out. Why risk any kind of injury to him knowing his history? Just be available during the season and more importantly, for playoffs

When the Dolphins overpaid an oft injured Taron Armstead to be their LT, he didn’t practice until Thursdays - in this last season I’m pretty sure he hardly practiced. McDaniel said in his first season they would give him the “A.I.” treatment regarding practice. And when he played it made a huge difference for them vs when he didn’t. This is what I expect with Bosa - but we only need him to play 30-40 percent of snaps in game. He can miss a few. Load management. Just consider him a bonus when he’s playing.

Taylor Rapp underrated? Espn thinks so!

He won us the game at NYJ. He was fantastic in that game. -
Interesting info I didn't know. Thanks! I love this band.

A Grade 1 Calf Pull recovers in 1-3 weeks. A Grade 2 in 3-6. We've got about 8 weeks before Training Camp starts. He'll be good to go by then. With his history, it wouldn't even shock me if it was just Bosa saying "my calf is bothering me a little bit, but I'm fine" and they were like "screw it, we'll just say you have a pull and shut you down until Camp". But this is why when people talk about trading Epenesa before the season starts, I say absolutely not. Bosa's injury prone and we don't get Hoecht until Week 8. If the season started tomorrow and we had traded Epenesa - we'd be down to Rousseau, Jackson, and Solomon. That's it. Beyond being undermanned at the position, we'd be relying on two complete unknowns at that point.

I think this proves that all college professors are corrupt and dishonest. It’s time to have the clergy teach about science and health and….. -
Trump Was Selling Pardons For $2 Million
Homelander replied to Trump_is_Mentally_fit's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Trump just pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley from Chrisley Knows Best - reality stars turned convicted felons. They were nailed for bank fraud, tax evasion, and conspiracy after faking documents to score $30M in loans and dodge taxes. But hey, from one felon to another, guess he saw a little of himself in them. -
Big words for a salad brain. Im gonna assume you don’t mean that. lol. If someone needs to block anyone on this joke of a board it’s a definitive sign of mental weakness. You don’t agree?

Agreed. Entirely bizarre that people are being duped into it on both sides. Suddenly Democrats hate their principles and Republicans love crumbling the foundation of their beliefs. -
