    im pleased with the two WR signings. Both are probably significant upgrades and I give Beane credit for these moves. But this receiving corps absolutely still needs a WR 2 and I think that means finding one in the draft. I too fear that they may be going in a different direction. Hope not. Given his size and speed I wonder if this guy can play on the outside. Seems to be a big slot with YAC ability.


    Between signing guys like Beasley and Brown for the late season push and then Harty and Sherfield in the offseason, it’s clear the team was not happy with the production of guys like McKenzie.  Agree they need to find additional WR talent in the draft too.

    I agree that he's gone, and I've already accepted the increasing likelihood that something bad happened.


    Just so weird that it was literally his 10

    year anniversary to joining the site, and for someone that was posting 30 times a day on average.  Am I making it up, or was he in the Columbus area?

  3. Beane:  Hey Von, the cap’s kind of tight, you’re coming off a torn ACL, would you mind taking a pay cut?

    Von:  You crazy man?

    Beane:  You wanted to learn how to be a better GM, here you go.

    So it was driving me crazy who all of the faces are here.  Some were easy, Mike McDaniel looking the dorky part.  Some look different to me in street clothes though.  Here’s my best guess at who’s pictured, tell me where I’m wrong:

     

    1st row:  Harbaugh, Rhule(?), Hackett, Allen, McVay, McD, McDaniels, McDaniel (4 Mc’s in a row, coincidence?)


    2nd row:  Sirianni, A. Smith, Vrabel, Saleh, Rivera, LaFleur, Taylor, L. Smith, Stefanski

     

    3rd row:  Staley(?, hiding back there), Daboll, Eberflus, Shanahan (most awkwardly placed person; take a step down,bud), Tomlin, Carroll, Kingsbury, O’Connell, Reid, Pederson, Reich

     

    Missing:  Belicheat, McCarthy, Campbell, Bowles

  6. Travis Kelce passed Gronk tonight for 2nd in postseason TDs.  And proceeded to talk his usual smack after the game.  Meanwhile, Gronk is missing FanDuel FGs during the Super Bowl.  Gronk - You need to come out of retirement, join the Bills at a real hometown discount, and shut Kelce up by bringing the elusive Lombardi to Buffalo.  That’s how your football story needs to end.
