Cleats? I thought they had on old school black high top converse.

Easy to say when you had Marshall Faulk, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt.

So, we're blaming Allen for Keon's lack of production now? Is Allen perfect all the time? No. Can Allen make some adjustments? Sure. But too many times it seems he and Coleman are not on the same page. Allen tries to throw a back shoulder pass to shield from the defender making a play, and give Keon an opportunity, but Keon isn't on the same mental plane as his QB. He seems unprepared for it, or runs elsewhere. 8 times out of 10, he can't shake the defender, no matter the route. You can only chuck a ball to a guy who doesn't produce so many times. He's also screwing up behind the scenes as well, not doing the things he should as a professional. That's why he found himself inactive. He will never be Eric Moulds. Our best hope is he can be a Gabe Davis type of producer, but even Gabe was more athletic before the injuries.

Is it? Knox has been abysmal. I get the Kincaid question marks but he and Knox are not interchangeable, as we’ve seen multiple times this year. The complete lack of receiving talent at the position behind Kincaid is an unfortunate but giant reason why you need to keep Kincaid.

The bungles cleats are from the clearance aisle at Dick’s sporting goods

If you aren’t watching the Josh Allen segment on ESPN right now, you are really missing something. I didn’t think it was possible to love Allen any more. I was wrong.

Kincaid looks an awful lot like Dawson Knox.

He likes to see the traits he values about himself exemplified in others!😂

The FBI has thus far identified a dozen lawmakers and almost 400 private citizens targeted by the Biden DOJ in "Arctic Frost." FBI Boss Reveals Criminal Investigation Into Feds Who Ran Arctic Frost Probe by John Solomon FBI Director Kash Patel says there is an ongoing investigation into federal personnel involved in the controversial Biden-era "Arctic Frost" probe that targeted scores of President Donald Trumps allies and gathered the phone records of many members of Congress. "I'm not going to let people get off the hook or get a hall pass," Patel told Just the News. . . . Patel said another key culture change was providing Congress with evidence it wanted about FBI misconduct after years of stonewalling. "We've issued 40,000 pages to Congress this year alone. Comey did 3,000 in three years. Wray did 17,000 in seven years." https://justthenews.com/accountability/political-ethics/satdisease-temple-fbi-boss-reveals-criminal-investigation-feds-who

Parsons is a better run defender than most give him credit for, but there are issues that need to be accounted for. First, he lacks size compared to DE’s. That means talented long athletic O tackles like Spencer Brown can wash him out. Couple that with a good back that has solid vision and you might not see Parsons for most of a game unless it’s a blow out. He’s more of an edge than a DE, so that lack of size needs to be maximized with scheme. Dallas playing him at DE too much in a 4 man front wasn’t good for his run defense. Secondly, Parsons likes to big play hunt. He’ll crash instead maintain contain if he believes it’ll result in a sack or TFL. He also presses when other players aren’t getting the job done. That’s been accounted for in GB with scheme and the talent around him. They’d be good complimentary players. Particularly if Parsons got used in that role we say Hoecht in on 3rd and long.

Ha! I didn't realize that. I never watch the nfl network guys. Makes sense how he was talking about him then this morning.

I would let him play out his 4th year in what most likely will be a new offensive system and see if the durability issues improve along with production. I still believe he has fairly high upside as a weapon in the passing game but I'd need to see it before committing...giggity

If you're not an old school style QB like he was forget it. He'll lick Joe Burrow dry when he has a chance.

I can't stand the guy so I never listen to him or watch his breakdowns. Just happen to catch him on nfl network this morning.

Since I'm on the exercise bike and tormenting myself at a slow pace I have some time... In the experiences I had calling defensive sets the training I got was pretty interesting. This was HS but I've seen similar in the upper tiers. It was boiled down, parboiled down, then roasted. Basically, everything was grouped. We started the play call in the set we wanted, base, nickel, dime, heavy, etc... that was the given part If the lineup is 21 and the TE is in line with a WR offline wide it is 1/3 of the call, it all came down to how they came out of their huddle since we already knew the personnel. 11 personnel it would be a different call. Honestly I don't remember the terms as much as if it was a pass lineup like 11 we would move the monster back (varying version of nickel in the 3-4 we played) outside of my hip. If they shifted to bring the condensed package I'd move him inside. There wasn't a lot of changes for most of the field... So in the huddle we would call our base of the scheme with the personnel on the field. It'd be the call for the DL, the call for the safeties and if anything special for the CB's (we played man primarily), and then the variable part is once the offense took the formation. Something like "Push heavy, cover 2, nickel low." The DL push their assignment to the strong side, safeties split the field, nickel comes inside the box at the snap to cover the middle. The IL linebackers would read and react, and the OLBs played more of a DE roll. In this case the DE's had to know they didn't have outside help on the strong side from the nickel and can't lose contain since leverage is inside. At the line as an OLB that was basically a DE I had to call the inside guys where to lineup and who their read was - Mile keyed the up back, whoever our Jack was I told who he keyed. Those calls were based on who they put where as I said. They come out in 22 with a split on the line I'm keying the Mike (his name was Ray) on the upback in the backfield. He is to eat that lead blocker, shed him if he can, and either make the tackle or chase the QB. The Jack is to watch the weak side TE if he releases as the first read, check the screen, then crash the pocket to get the runner or attack the QB. I would call one of maybe 6 calls by the word - usually concepts that week based on the team we play. If we are playing the vikings it'd be stuff like "purple," "gold," "horn," etc. of course we had our basic own stuff and we had those after our own team the wildcats. So "cat," "black, " gold," etc were our norms. In all of this the first part was simple, that was coached in by the sideline in most cases. In hurry up we had to make the calls ourselves. The second part is where you better study the film, know the scouting report, and have your wits about you. You had more time than you'd realize to make that call. One of my most favorite annecdotes of this was my junior year. We blew out a team on Friday so starters didn't play a full 3 quarters. That meant that non seniors were eligible to play the JV game the next morning. Usually that was fun to do and just beat up on the freshman and sophomores. I begged to go play when I learned a few others were going to play, too. On Fridays I barely called the defense but I knew the reports well enough. The guy I would be playing for on Saturday morning was the guy who made the calls for the defense. I studied like hell and got to the game. I knew their entire playbook (JV games are super limited) and would call their plays out at the line. Our mike linebacker and nickel/monster were playing, too. They tried to run plays and we would shut them down. They'd like up and I'd call their play - "run left a-gap," "flanker post, check down to the TE." It was just fun as hell as we destroyed them simply knowing their plays as good as they did.

He's always hated him!

Whatever happens in this one, the Bills equipment staff better have our guys in the right cleats. Don’t want to see the Bengals with that edge again on our home field.

There is always a thread...
