  1. Haack is a below average punter, one of the worst in the league. Based on this thread there are 8-12 teams with multiple punters competing. Indy is likely in the market to upgrade Haack from this pool of candidates, so Haack may be available if he’s wanted. Because Haack is a lower tier punter, there is still hope to upgrade this position significantly in spite of everything.
  2. Marv (zero hang time) Bateman: Buffalo BillsEdit On November 13, 1974, the Buffalo Bills signed him as a free agent to replace Spike Jones.[6] He led the NFL two years in a row in net yards per punt. In 1976, he led the NFL in punting average (42.8 yards), but his net average was only 28.7 yards, although he had a 78-yard punt, which still stands as the longest punt in team history. On August 24, 1978, he was released after being passed on the depth chart by Rusty Jackson.[7]
  3. I’ve wondered if the current stadium being half underground has made the ridiculous wind currents even worse than they would have been. I’m not happy about the pinhole roof - nothing beats the open sky - but I’m glad we likely won’t see crazy wind games that are not real football.
  4. Rodgers and Mahomes became too “locked in” to their number ones. They are better quarterbacks than to have let that happen and their organizations recognized that their offensives were not optimized by the quarterback locking on to the number one. Josh does not have the weakness of locking on to his number one. He’s led many fading receivers on their last NFL legs - Brown, Beasley, Sanders - to outstanding statistical seasons by always spreading the ball around to the weakest coverage and not locking in to his number one.
  5. If you want a tight end who is really not a tight end but a skilled big receiver, just play Hodgins.
  6. All that I have ever asked for is one Super Bowl victory sometime before the day I die. No, I don’t think that is too much.
  7. we are talking about a franchise that recently had David Sills on the active roster
  8. Tommy Sweeney had many chances last year to show his worth but instead showed his physical limitations.
  9. If this is a stashing congrats to Foster for extending his career.
  10. Haack put two perfect kicks on tape in the preseason and applied needed pressure on Araiza. Hopefully he’s picked up and the organization looks good for helping out both kickers. The front office realizes Araiza could literally cost us a game or two this year, but it’s worth the risk for the potential rewards over the next decade.
  11. I’m glad they didn’t vote Jordan and Micah in as one person, “Number 50, Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde”. They like to do that in these ranking shows sometimes.
  12. Need to kneel down to get Araiza out there.
  13. I would go wk 2 when the Bills are playing in Buffalo.
  14. I think Reich is a great coach and was working miracles with Wentz last year until the end. But Matt Ryan looked shockingly weak and old on Saturday and Foles is not any better. I could see a 7-10 year for the Colts event though they are stacked in many positions.
  15. There are always players like this where you fear they will be plucked from the practice squad by another team. But every team has a whole set of players they are trying to keep, so players like this do tend to safely stay on your practice squad.
  16. What I loved about Warner’s game is that he always attacked the deep field first. I didn’t think I’d see a quarterback with that much disdain for the underneath easy passes until 17 rolled into town.
  17. He looks done to me. What a talent coming out of college. It’s not his fault. Injuries can take away your ability to play. There are too many good players on the bubble to protect. Bills will not hesitate to cut him and eat the dead cap.
  18. Wow Von only 93. Unranked last year. Did not know that.
  19. Deion Sanders complains the Hall has become a watered-down free-for-all and thinks there should be a special room for him and a very few select others. https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-deion-sanders-football-hall-of-fame-braves-dallas-cowboys-jackson-state I tend to agree. I watched him closely when he played. He couldn’t really tackle but it was impossible to separate from him. The original lock-down corner. Add to that his return game and there are very few in his category. That’s not even counting the Primetime aspect. Last career pick six against the Bills in his mid 30s.
  20. Can keep all the rookies if they train them to take over the special teams specialist roles on the roster.
  21. Ryan aging like a normal pushing-40 QB.
  22. Time to trade Kumerow to Rodgers for a 6th
  23. Howard playing. Roster spot in question.
  24. Meniscus tears are no joke. The “fix” is to go in and remove part of the meniscus. That means you have less of a meniscus and are one step closer to being bone on bone. If the meniscus removal does not go well there is constant pain. The modern approach is to try to heal the torn part of the meniscus rather than remove it. But this would mean Zach is out for the season which the Jets are not going to deal with.
