Do not mess with moving companies. They're thugs even when you do pay up.

I thought he switched to boxing? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.sportingnews.com/us/amp/nfl/news/antonio-brown-is-now-down-for-boxing-match-with-logan-paul-even-as-big-underdog/1qlunhbcy37ft1qzl3ik12jyjx&ved=2ahUKEwi4itnAupXnAhVPn-AKHf-0Ah8QFjAFegQIBhAB&usg=AOvVaw1LRPx-H1XFIvHTIgXzicqW&ampcf=1

Again, my bad for not making it clear I was being sarcastic. Big Duke detractor that I am, I would prefer him over Foster. Only Foster. My hope is we upgrade enough to where both are expendable.

My bad, I should have mentioned this post was meant to be sarcastic. I believe I'm one of Duke's biggest detractors. I keep Andre over Duke all day, every day.

2 separate threads on this?

He won't be back next year. We need that spot for Duke.

Do you think JG would have taken this NE team to a SB? You kinda left that part out.

Jimmy G wasn't gonna take this pats team to a Super Bowl. Brady, on the other hand would have taken this SF team to the Super Bowl.

The problem is you went above 3rd grade level. Way over his head.

By costrovs thinking, we could move Spain a couple of feet to his left and he could play LT as well as Dawkins. I stopped replying when he posted that nonsense. I don't think Jordan will be here next year. Someone will pay more than we're willing to. We can't pay someone that much who won't even start for us. Unless our staff feels he can handle Star's position. I mean it is only 3.5 ft different. ?

Ban you?!? A tad melodramatic, no?

Titans are 1 Tom Brady away from SB contention. Flame away if you want.

1st It can be pass too but I said give. Look at the video. Not a good start. ? 2nd I never mentioned Harry. Strike 2 ? 3rd replacing Star isn't as easy as you think. Jordan can't do Star's job. Not even close. Neither can Oliver. There's a reason Star is a starter and not Jordan. As for your spoiler alert, it's called rotation. ? I'm not even gonna bother with the rest. Wanna know why? Jordan couldn't even crack the starting line-up next year with Star, Harry and Oliver, so he ain't getting paid here. Puff puff give.

There's a big difference between " who played better" and "they all sucked". Read my post again, if you need to. Trying to answer that question to someone who thought Phillips could replace Star is a waste of time. If you think he put the whole dline on his back, Dopey wants some of what you're smoking. Puff puff give...

so Phillips is the only reason on the dline that we had one of the best defenses this past year?!? I call bull on that one. He had a really good year, but he didn't do it on his own. I'm not here to say pay him or don't. Just calling bs on your "the whole dline except for Jordan sucks" comments. ?

I'm sure Daboll is sleeping just fine in the bed he made. Duke and TJ are jags. Check the game scores with Duke playing and you'll see we still only scored 17 per game. And that's with 31 vs the dolphins. Other than the dolphin game, we scored 14, 13, 6 and 19 in the playoff game where he dropped 2 crucial passes. Some of you need to put the Duke thing to bed already. If he was even close to what some of you make him out to be, why did he sit on the practice squad for so long? Any team could have picked him up, but he just sat there. It's like you think you know something that every other staff in the nfl doesn't. You don't. They both got chances and were benched. They're not any good. Plus, Daboll mentioned in an interview he doesn't make personnel decisions. Coach and Beane do.

Point taken. Other than a year here and there, I never went into a season with much hope of being good. The year of the Music City Miracle and Bledsoe's first 2 years here were the only times I had any real hope of being good in the last 20 years.

Opinions.

So, the point of my rant was I agreed with Shaw66. They are doing exactly what they said they were going to do and it seems like people here either didn't want to hear it, or just didn't listen. Couple of things: 1) You don't just "back into" the playoffs. 2) You can cry about a weak schedule if you want to. That never made any sense to me. I'm sure some of the "easy" teams we beat are asking how they could lose to the "lowly" Bills. You are right though, context does matter. This regime took a crap organization that sucked for 20 years to the playoffs in year 1, tore it down and has turned it around. Playoffs 2 out of 3 years. Complain all you want, but I don't get this high horse attitude from some of you. We sucked before this regime took over.

This. I'm listening and they are doing exactly what they told us they would be doing. We are out of salary cap hell and made the playoffs 2 out of 3 years. We have "our QB". We have a solid foundation and a great culture. In year 2 Beane even said we made the playoffs year 1, but don't expect that in year 2. We won't be as good as year 1(I paraphrased). People here freaked over how bad we were last year because, as you stated, some people just aren't listening. IMO this is the most competent staff we've had in almost 2 decades. I trust them over anyone on TBD. If it was up to some on TBD: Half of our D-line would have been cut midway through the season, with some guy named Peko starting for Star. Can you imagine Peko and Phillips starting, because according to some on TBD Oliver was a bust . Edmunds would have been moved to OLB mid-season, with no answer on who would replace him at MLB. A 7th round de would have replaced Murphy, mid-season. Hauschka would have been replaced mid-season by a kicker who went 5-10 from 40-49 yds and blew a game by shanking a 47 yarder for the niners and lost a game for the Colts by missing a critical FG. Duke would have been our "go to" wr, even though he showed in the playoffs he couldn't separate from a pretty bad secondary and dropped 2 critical passes. Old and Broke down AJ Green would have been brought in via trade. If memory serves me right, he didn't even play this past season. Our best kick returner would have been let go cuz he's not a great wr, even though we were told he was signed as a KR 1st, then wr depth. Our RT would have been moved to guard, with someone named Bates replacing him. Our starting LT would have been traded, etc.

Don't you know that every year there has to be a whupping boy here for some? It's a tradition.

Not bad, but that ain't no Latino ass.

Hopefully your first sentence was a stab at sarcasm.

Isaiah McKenzie was our returner in 2018 and he wasn't any good. That's why we brought in Andre. He stabilized our return game. Guess where Isaiah was drafted? Yep, 5th round. It's not that easy.

We can blame the players who dropped a ton of passes and missed a ton of blocks, along with an OC who was learning how to use a whole new group of offensive players. Nine new players is not an excuse, it's a reason. This is a year and a half for Josh playing under Daboll. I don't think anyone is satisfied, but we did see Josh progress. I think the people that want him back saw the progression of the offense and look forward to more. Next year, Daboll won't have the excuse of all new personnel. I don't think he'll need the excuse though. Our offense will be a lot better and you'll get your wish, Daboll will be a HC after next season.
