does it matter if the player is "worth Millions"

something something . . . Applebees

I wonder whether Rivera made these comments out of frustration. . . . because Bienemy was forced on him. Lets see if Rivera continues to fake get-out-of-the-way and let that "genius" work that KC Chiefs' magic. "hey, HE's the genius. who am I to question his methods?"

over the years, it has helped me to think of it as: Special Teams has 3 starters besides kicker. (i choose 3 at random, since that's how much work i wanna put in here) Then, i try to (hypnotize myself into caring about special teams) figure out who the must-keep Special Teamers are. Saves me a lot of anguish. --- and i definitely do not think any ol body off the street can play NFL special teams. I mean, look at all the tip top athletes who have played football all their lives, and through sacrifice and hard work, just cant quite make it on NFL special teams. Ergo: that shtt Hard!

nothing good ever happens at the Pro Bowl

i think i just learned something here. That i need to use. I introduce bills fans to this website maybe 20 times per year. Here in LA, whenever i meet one and have time and a pen, i write down this website address, so they wont forget And almost every single time over the years, i see that person again. "Hey, did you check out TBD?" and its always always "no." I think i learned from your post that i fail to tell them WHY they should come here. why its different. why you cant just check in once per month. How its active every single day. I need to step up my game. Didnt realize the 'competition' was that bad. didnt realize what people's expectations are, based on their experiences with inferior products. Since i never goto other fans' websites, except follownig links posted on here.

I think a theme in this (very good) thread is: The loss of Edmunds will be noticeable for sure. Debatable whether it will be significant. As in, will it affect wins and losses. As a few posters have noted, we do not need the #1 defense in the league to win games.

fixed. teamwork. whatever he had, or was supposed to be able to do, never materialized. not consistently. not much at all. Blind squirrel. not a smart football player. At a position in This defense that requires being smart.

1) case keenum 2) matt leinert at least each has shown that he CAN be what a starting QB is supposed to be. Even though Leinert's was in college. For whatever reason, leinert didnt continue to develop it.

then its a good thing i dont aspire to being an NFL coach. but: 1) am i wrong, in your opinion, of the coach? 2) its not a personal attack. I just want better coaches on my football team

i really doubt it. He sounds like he has no substance as a coach. it doesnt sound like he is using coach-speak on purpose. It sounds like he thinks he is giving the best answer possible. And there isnt much there. feels like the Peter Principle. He cant bluff his way any higher than where he is right now.

this is not a good interview. Or, it is good because it shows he isnt that . . . smart about linebacker coaching.

he sounds in-over-his-head. He seems like he starts talking without thinking first. just stream-of-consciousness. And there isnt much substance there. I am not looking at a future Defensive co-ordinator or head coach.

for me, i would schedule national preseason games with teams who have to play a "name" quarterback. like wherever baker mayfield is at. Or justin fields. even the Panthers. because their qb also happens to be a "name" quarterback who also is going to play a ton in preseason. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/bryce-young-will-start-preseason-opener I need 'name' quarterbacks because nationally, i need as many casual fans to watch as possible. I need those fans to know that the guy they have heard of is going to play. Hopefully a ton. And most importantly, i need my advertiser clients to know this.

day drinking is the heartbeat of this place. But smart posters are the brains tip-top posters provide great analysis. i have learned so much about football here. Second only to playing Madden and if you wanna enjoy an adult beverage or 7, this is an Awesome place to spend several hours. I must have written the website down 70-80 times here in SoCal, for Bills fans whe were unaware of this site. I welcome all voices. which is why i am here every day. ---- (and by the way: if you were SDS, you'd have a burner account on here, right? Cause sometimes you just gotta let off steam)

We wont get a Peerless Price situation with Price, we found a team that actually thought he was a #1 waiting to break out. I doubt any team in the NFL sees Gabe as that.

around that time i heard a 3rd reason on Sirius XM (i think) Because of Allen's elbow injury, and therefore his limited pitch count in practice, there werent enough reps in practice to use on getting Hardy up to speed.

The first time i was on my way to Vegas. They got me with "officer Able" which is a fixed wing airplane. They have those mile-marker lines on the highway. I had to show up in court in person. to beg. To beg for an nfraction instead of a misdemeanor. To beg for a reduction in charge. To beg to be allowed to do traffic school. They make you show up because nobody actually lives out there, so its a huge pain. I decided not to deny that i was doin about 110. The second time, he actually let me go with a warning. 3 am on my way back from Vegas, so i could get a couple winks before work at 8am. I think he was on DUI patrol and as soon as he saw i was sober and apologetic, he decided he had bigger fish to fry. Highway Patrol, not local PD.

wasnt Geno Smith the offending jaw? tryin to act big and bad about not paying IK the money he promised. And i mean, who would get points for punching mark sanchez. Next time Sanchez offends somebody, it will be the first.

sorry i meant 'within the economics of the CBA.' And the CBA doesnt have specific provisons for RBs, of course.

these 2 sentences contradict Unless the reason teams "dont have to" is collusion. But you are admitting that its economics and reality, not cheating, that means they dont have to. And its only "artificial" to the extent that its the result of a man-made CBA. But it is a natural result of that CBA. No behind-the-scenes smoky rooms are necessary

So far, its pretty debatable whether there is even a problem. And if so, what is the problem? so far, the only problem is that a couple RBs every year feel like they are underpaid due to the system. But they are paid perfectly, according to economics.

there are lots of people who win the lottery. So if i dont win the lottery, am i abnormal? (I'm not sure what your real point is. Beyond the obvious).
