'Super Troopers 3' Is Happening, Production Starts This Week

Yeah, not only does cutting Hamlin NOT save us 7m - it actually *costs* us $662,500 in Cap Space. Agreed, not sure where they got that number from.

There would come a point in the season when every team's entire 53 is listed in some capacity, minus maybe a K or P or LS. But I suspect even those guys work through soft tissue stuff and definitely multiple contusions that would put many of us on short-term IR from our daily lives. We'd be like, "Remember that time my ribs turned blue and purple and black (then yellow and green) for like an entire winter? I couldn't sneeze, without throwing up from the pain, for months. My wife and I couldn't be intimate that fiscal quarter and now I'm sleeping in my car." Etc. Etc.

Chad Kelly was an immature privileged punk. SS has arrogance and also is privileged but other than his Dad blowing smoke he didn’t do nearly as much dumb stuff as CK. In both cases if they were better the NFL would have drafted them in the first round. Note zero racial bias. They both hurt their careers with poor behavior and hubris.

Playing this style forces the defense to all be near perfect in their decision making and assignments. It has always seemed like a perfect “surprise” offense for certain situations. Like the first game of the season.

The only way Samuel isn't here is if someone's willing to trade for him. That would save us 7.34m in Cap Space while eating only 1.7m in Dead Cap. Otherwise if we just cut him, we save nothing and eat over 8.8m in Dead Cap. At that point, you're paying for him whether he's on the roster or not. Might as well get something out of him, even if he doesn't stay healthy all year. Moore is an interesting case. He's had some good practices, he's had some bad practices, he's been injured, and he hasn't really popped in the Pre-Season. Depending on who you talk to, he's either had a good off-season or a bad one. He, like Samuel, saves us nothing by cutting him and costs us 2.5m in Dead Money. Like Samuel, you're paying for him whether he's here or not. That said, eating 2.5m is a lot more likely and palatable than eating over 8.8m. So it's possible. One thing I don't think you're going to see though is us cutting both of them. Which would have us saving nothing and eating over 11.3m in Dead Money. If we can Trade Samuel, maybe they'd cut Moore. But it's way more likely they'd Trade Samuel and keep Moore, Cut Moore and keep Samuel, or keep them both - IMO. The other side of what you're saying is regardless of creativity on Offense, they're going to keep at least 5 WR's. So who would the 5th guy be beyond Shakir, Palmer, Coleman, and Shavers if you got rid of both Samuel and Moore? K.J. Hamler? Kristian Wilkerson? Nah. Samuel and Moore are better WR's than them and you're already paying for them. At least one of them will stick. As for keeping an extra RB, I don't see that. We're not going to dress 4 RB's on Game Day and we'll have no problem getting Gore back on the Practice Squad. Yes, Jackson Hawes is dead set as the 3rd TE on the Roster. Much like WR, we're going to keep 3 Tight End's. And he's a very good Blocking Tight End who has had a good off-season. We also spent a 5th Round Pick on him. Releasing a Draft Pick before the bottom of the 6th is a risky proposition trying to sneak them on to the Practice Squad.

Regular season Ravens have put some whoopins on McD's Bills. Just sayin. I don't necessarily think that's what will happen, but I did say the smart money is on that (mostly because the spread/odds will make the returns favorable). You don't see any potential for the Bills to field an exploitable pass defense while also being a little flat offensively? McD's teams have had mixed results against Henry in the regular season, and Baltimore's defense has jumped all over us. I know the postseason matchups have gone differently. But getting pushed around or disrupted by an aggressive AFC Central squad is something we've seen a bit over the years, given how few teams generally have gotten the upper hand on McD's Bills. It's not preposterous.

Fascinating the protection SS gets. If you are unprepared for an interview you are an unserious person. These are multi billion dollar companies. If you’re an engineer or IT grad out of college, you come prepared. It’s not that complicated.

Neon Trees and a Lady Gaga Tribute today at the NY State Fair. Neon Trees, I only knew two of their songs going in, but it was a great show, I may buy some of their albums. You could tell the lead singer was not happy with the crowd reaction, very subdued, but I know a lot of people did not know who they are. He was even commenting on it. But they still did their full set, and left immediately after. The Lady Gaga Tribute, nothing exciting about that unless you're a die-hard LG fan. We did not stay for the full set, since she did not start until after 9pm. I only knew one of the 4-5 songs we did stay for. But it was free. And I forgot this, earlier this week saw Eddie 9V at Funk 'N Waffles in Syracuse. Small bar/venue, best guess, less than 100 people were there, but he still gave it his all. I would definitely recommend seeing him if you have a chance. They had a local Syracuse band as the opening act, can't even tell you what their name was, but it was a jam band. Played for an hour, and it was not good. To the point I was almost ready to leave and come back in when Eddie came on. But I had a good spot at the bar with a view of the stage and did not want to give it up.

There's a lot of information being spread in this topic but superseding much of it is that NFL teams are not required to disclose injuries until the week of week 1 of the regular season. Speaking only on the issue of confidentiality, I'd want the Bills to be the most secretive team in the NFL. It makes me laugh, all these posters whining that the Bills haven't updated the Tre White situation... as if they're being denied their god-given right to know. Simply for the sake of confidentiality (not process) Vrabel should be upset. I've heard that some organizations will release misinformation to figure out where leaks in the organization are coming from.

Hey pretty sure there's a movie coming out soon along the lines of this!

No. There isn't any single scheme that will work in the NFL if you use it all the time. Coaches and systems are too good now for that. They will find and exploit the weakness. Being multiple and varied is the key to succeeding in today's NFL. They can be used as a PART of a broader scheme but not as the entire scheme itself. Far too simplistic in today's NFL.

The difference here, as opposed to traditional labor unions is that there is not an alternative option for the players. If there was another big time, high paying league who could take these players, then it would really be ON. So if teams really take it seriously and "make an example" out of players who won't "submit", those players would be SOL and have to take a traditional career route or play a different sport. Even the first and second round guys need it more than the league needs them. Yes, there is scarcity in high end talent, but there is far more scarcity of jobs in this sector nationwide. So the teams will always have the power.

I would love to see it. I think it could work as a change of pace for a few series or a quarter, maybe two. NFL defenses would eventually figure out how to stop it. I mean, Army and Navy run over, through and around most schools they play against and they have substandard athletes on offense. So, why not?!?!

Yankees games was excellent as well, except the losing part.

Now I close my eyes And I wonder why I don't despise Now all I can do Love what was once So alive and new But it's gone from your eyes I'd better realize Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face (Les yeux sans visage) Eyes without a face Got no human grace You're eyes without a face Such a human waste You're eyes without a face And now it's getting worse

lol

Just finished watching the Padres beat the Dodgers in an excellent game. Several clutch defensive plays and great pitching from both teams. The outcome was in doubt for the entire game up until the last pitch. San Diego has a great crowd. Fun, fun game. Padres bullpen is so sick. Morejon, Estrada, Adam, Miller Suarez……..seriously?

Building a team includes trades and free agents. I never said Peyton, you did.

Oh does it? When he drafted 1st overall and got Bruce , Peyton, Thurman in what round? Andre in what round? Beebee? Now the real fun, what round did he draft Lofton or Bisquit? Get your facts straight. You want to argue Harrison or Freeney or Wayne? Now you have a case. Otherwise you are a Bills drunk fool. Later picks DO COUNT, it’s the only reason he’s employed. My issue is the lack or elite talent. Nobody would question him if he was a Roseman type who was hitting on all the 1st round picks, the problem is he wastes pick after pick when the pool is deep. Don’t tell me you are an elite talent evaluator when you have Elam 5 rounds higher than Benford when Benford has the job 2 weeks into training camp.

Dodgers vs Padres weekend is turning into a great rivalry. Good baseball. I never heard Beavers name until this season and he came outta nowhere. Looks like he has a nice swing

I don't believe I ever said you were, though I can see how you saw it that way. I was more refencing the idea of what's going on in the topic.

That would’ve come out.
