Beane has done this since he became GM. He continually works out players they might sign in the case of an injury so they're familiar with them. Yet.. every time, we have this "Where's the Pegula Jet?!" freak out.
Not exactly what you're going for, but yes, people prefer offense. It's not a coincidence the league is enforcing and creating rules that promote offense.
to be fair, they've played two pedestrian offenses. Baltimore's defense is ranked last, for example, but they've played potent offenses.
There's some good signs, but folks shouldn't be getting carried away.
Regardless of how you feel about Edmunds play picking up his option was the exact right move if they didn't want to give him an extension when they had other priorities.
They are still in the "don't want to believe it so we'll go to ridiculous lengths to defend him" phase
Dolphins. Jets were going to be bad. The Dolphins had legitimate playoff expectations and their fans really thought they could win the division.
It's smart. Play good defense and let your QB grow into the game. Meanwhile, the Jets... Hey Rookie go SLING IT behind a bad offensive line that can't play the blocking scheme we're using!
It's almost like teams had a year's worth of tape to look at the Bills passing concepts and perhaps Daboll saying they weren't going to worry about improving the run game may have been shortsighted.
I'll go one better and present to you the amount of discussion of "Should the Packers bench Rodgers for Love" talk
The Dolphins had a "sun study" commissioned in September at 1 PM then used that study to custom design the modifications of their stadium to make the visitor's sideline be in the sun as much as possible.
Players currently playing in the NFL from Douglas's 2020 draft = 1
Players currently playing in the NFL from the Idzik 12 (considered the worst draft in Jets history by their fans) = 1
Context matters, a lot of those yards came in garbage time on some big runs when the defense was sitting back. Earlier in the game, they had trouble blocking 4 with 5.
Regardless, it's a new week. Go Bills!
