Yes, but catching a python is much different than catching a frog.

My double take "who is that guy again?" WR of camp so far in the 3 I've been to is Jalen Virgil. He's small but compact with speed and very good overall skills at the position.

Hahahahahahahaha Losers. Total losers with nothing to offer America. But plenty to offer the 3rd World (NYC, DC, LA, Chicago, Detroit, Guatemala, Somalia)

yeah, most teams are not paying a top RB. I’d rather pay OL, DL, and WR. The asset allocation and Cook’s usage does not warrant more than 11/year

WHY?!?!?!?!

Every day of non participation is another two- hundred & fifty thousand off his new deal, if I’m Beane…, he’s out 1/2 a million already…,

Based on my background, I have a weird way of looking at things. After my stint in the army, I ended up the Director of Operations of a restaurant company with a couple of dozen locations. One of those restaurants had a crappy parking lot so I spent some money fixing the potholes, laying down some new asphalt, sealing, and striping it. The owner, peeved at the expense, calculated how many tacos we'd have to sell to cover the cost of that repair. Because margins in the restaurant industry are small, it was something like 60,000. Annoyed, he asked, "Will we sell an additional 60,000 tacos because you fixed the parking lot?" I agreed that we wouldn't. But the parking lot wasn't the only thing we were taking care of. I told him the combined effect of all our maintenance, cleaning, training, etc. will combine for far more than 100,000 additional taco sales. It's a mindset that says the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. That's how I see Cook. He's not elite, but I don't want to lose him. I wouldn't want to roll the dice on the next draft or Etienne or whatever. I'd pay Cook based on how valuable he is to our offense, not necessarily on how he stacks up compared to other backs. He's an important ingredient in our offensive recipe.

Curious if not Palmer and Coleman, who else did you think might take one of those spots over? For me it was always going to be those 2 and Shakir in the slot, and then Samuel and Moore would mix in and around.

Iirc Benford rates quite high in man coverage as well,

Nah bro I pay the mods for a premium subscription. Plus I have nudes as blackmail. An no I won't send them to you

Cook is going to sign. The Williams contract just set the market for non-Henry/Barkley/Early CMC running back contracts. It’s 11 mil/yr AAV. I’d guess Beane will accept a little more than that to get the deal signed and continue to send the message that Buffalo drafts and retains it’s own (unless you suck like Edmunds, ha!). It won’t be more than 12 mil/yr.

(Hanging up the phone) You just know someone is going to call CPS about it.

I don't hold much hope for his LB upside, but if he could be an ST Ace for a few seasons that would be a big positive. I think one of the possible reasons we haven't heard much from him is that he's not likely doing much as an LB and reporters might not be as in tune with whose killing it on Special Teams? It is possible he's being a contributor there but not getting much attention.

Elam...made a funny

I was thinking the same thing as I watched it. A bit reckless.

As long as #17 is in that car, we will be a-ok

Who is Mike Rose? Seems like a tool bag.

Willing to exchange someone 2 tickets for Saturdays game (sec 107 row 15) for 2 VIP Camp tickets for tomorrow. Would love to take my daughter and be able to get some autographs and a better view!

I remember that....it prompted me to make the joke "The rain from Spain falls mainly on Joe Burrow."😁

This thread?

Way too much angst over a random tweet from some nobody. I will wait for credible sources and my own eyes on Saturday.

This makes a lot of sense.
