    How is this level of plotting possible without the current Giants HC catching wind? It's just not something Daboll would passively endure. 

     

     

     

     

     

    I'm pretty sure that Daboll already understands there's a non-zero chance that he will not be the HC of the Giants after or before the end of the season.  And if they draft Sanders, it's not out of the question that the Giants "brain trust" could offer the job to "Coach".  It would be consistent with their idiocy.

    I’m curious how this will affect suspensions going forward—especially for borderline cases in past seasons where players might’ve been punished under stricter rules. Timing seems like a big deal here.

     

    if a player in the NFL can't, at this point, figure out how to get around the NFL's testing schedule, then he's too dumb to learn the playbook.

    beane doesn't get enough credit for how good our oline is now

     

    the cody ford and cordy glenn days are well past (except at ESPN)

     

     

    Imagine Elgton Jenkins instead of Cody Ford (or AJ Brown, or Metcalf, for that matter)...

    I don't get this take. Yeah, they are both 4-down football but there are a ton of differences. The biggest is being able to hear coaches, players and referees live in-game. Then there's 1, 2 and 3 point-after TDs. (No kicking XPs.) The dynamic kickoff that the NFL adopted was created in the XFL (now UFL.) They also invented the 4th and 12 version of the onside kick.

     

    What don't you get?  The guy said it's boring football.

     

    You'll have to wait a very long time to see the dynamism of 1,2,3 point tries after a TD:  after the first 3 games, 6 of the 8 teams have 5 or fewer total TDs.

     

    Through 3 weeks the best team (undefeatedDC) kicked twice as many FGs as scored TDs.  What's there to listen to from the coaches?  "Let's punt/kick a FG here"?

     Maybe ........... just maybe they signed Awuzie for the veteran minimum and got a similar player for less money.  Maybe it had nothing to do with the Ravens "telling him to leave" and was simply they saved some cap space and White signed here.  

     

    Makes sense---why didn't Beane make a move like that?

    Much like I've said all along.  He had a bad start in LA.  Played some really tough teams right back from injury and in a new defense.  He played fine with the Ravens.  They never asked him to leave.  They played him a majority of the snaps in the playoffs for that matter.  From a Ravens web site:

     

    Down the stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs, White played regular snaps at cornerback and had a few notable pass breakups. More importantly, he generally did not give up big plays in the backend.

    A majority of snaps?  in the playoffs, he was in for 9 plays the first game and 33 in the second.  No passes defended, 1 tackle. 

     

    If he was worth having, why wouldn't the Ravens just keep him?   In effect they said you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here...

    So the two teams that paid him to come play for them post injury didn't see anything they liked but asked him to join the team anyway?  

     

    After they saw what he actually did after the injuries while other rosters, they both let him go in the same year.

     

    They asked him to leave, in other words...

    I was stunned when they signed him and even more so when they actually put him on the field that quick. Bizarre decision.

    The only good news is that his tape pre-Achilles must have looked good enough to do so, thereby confirming our thoughts that he had finally recovered from the ACL and was playing well.

     

     

    Three different successful NFL GMs have been impressed enough with his post ACL tape to disagree with this and sign him.

    Maybe you should be open to the possibility that the young man can still play.

     

    Post injuries, 2 of those teams let him go in the same season.  

     

    He's likely less a Tre, more like a deuce at this point...

    As I said, small sample size.

     

     

    Again, I'm flabbergasted that the Rams thought he would be able to play 11 months after rupturing his achilles.

     

    As for the Ravens, they're not in the habit of giving up good players. My belief is that they had a standing offer to Tre but between a bit more money and his relationship with the Bills, it was an easy choice for him to make.

     

    Just my guess.

     


    yeah read that.  No conclusion for comparison is even possible

    So the league and players finally reached a labor deal. It includes year-round health coverage and a small boost in salary and roster size.

     

    Probably hoping to make through the season before the end times come.

     

    https://awfulannouncing.com/ufl/ratings-paint-bleak-picture-week-3.html

     

    Ratings down 33% form the poor numbers of last year.  3 of 8 HCs already bailed out (Wade!!).

     

     "Through 12 games this season, only one has seen both teams score over 20 points. 10 out of 12 games have seen at least one team score 12 or fewer points. The UFL is not producing an attractive brand of football.

    Individual player stats look just as ugly. Five of the league’s eight starting quarterbacks have completion percentages under 55%, with several sitting under 50%. Only one quarterback has thrown for more than two touchdowns through three games. The league’s best rusher is averaging a meager 63 yards per game."

    I hear ya.  Really, I do.  All I’m saying is that if the conversation went at all like he said it did, it’s a bad look for Glenn and the Jets as well.

     

     

    axing Rodgers in person was a far better look than hiring this bum in the first place.  we only heard his version of reality (I mean, come on...) during his regular session with the ultimate sycophant Pat McHillbillie.

    one consideration is picking at 30 you are often compromising on *something* 

     

    a guy with a weak 40 but decent production 

     

    a guy with the talents but missing matching production

     

    tons of potential but maybe an injury history 

     

    or a second tier position 

     

     

    I guess the question is how often should that compromise be elite playmaker at key position but risks making off field headlines 

     

    In the end, Beane doesn't care about that.  It's a business--he knows this far into his regime that he has to deliver at least a SB appearance.  Fans absolutely won't care about off field stuff if there's a Lombardy--no fan base would ever loose a wink of sleep over that.

     

     Beane has shown he has the ability to whiff on a late 1st round pick for any or all of the reasons you listed. He might as well TRY to pick an actual elite player-even one with issues off the field.

     

    Reid has no problem focusing these kind of guys when it counts, you know.....
