Yet he folds to them every single time and will this time too.

I really hope this is just a courtesy to help a player they care about personally.

Oh absolutely, you're tracking what I'm saying. Just let someone else do it. I mean so what, that no other RB's during Allen's tenure did. There's literally no downside to running Allen more.

I know, and the measly 18 touchdowns. Just give the ball to someone else. Plus 4.9 yards per carry is trash.

I'm surprised someone up thread didn't say this yet.

Well they have several shared words as their definition. They're certainly not opposite terms as you suggested.

Synchronisation and scheming are essentially synonyms. Tackling and spacing are an effect of the lack of game planning. Not the whole reason to be sure. It's one of the reasons to largely ignore pre-season games and why they often look discombobulated.

Dorian Strong If this 6th round draft pick makes the 53, that would be amazing. It's highly unlikely even if Hairston misses time. I'm guessing he'd have to beat out two other young candidates and either Dane or Codrington. He's an obvious PS pick.

For those athletes, celebrities, etc that say they're so busy they shouldn't have to be obligated. This is all it takes, just a few seconds.

This is allowed, so long as both teams are in three different cities.

How much do you owe on your house?

I had to bust on you for clearly trying to start something in this thread....

And you were going to leave TBD if we drafted Allen...... Well..... We're waiting.... As the late great Ted Knight would say.

The question is a false equivalent. Would you rather have Bateman at $12 mil or Shakir at $13.25 mil? That would be an accurate comparison.

I'm not sure I agree with the bolded, this off season. I think the additions of Palmer and Moore are moves Beane made to guard against the need to depend on Keon. He's going to need to earn his playing time / "bigger role" / define his role. I'd disagree slightly and say Beane's pattern is drafting high character players and IMO, sometimes has passed on higher ceiling guys. He's not overcompensating, it's what teams historically do that draft late in the first. You try to find a player that out produces that slot.

You're talking about fair value and what's being replied to you is market value. Market value is more volatile and while it encompass aspects of fair value, it relies on trends. You're trying to value Cook based on calculations but his value is what the market says.

I had a feeling we were looking at this guy.

I think Kincaid has more potential. I wouldn't trade them straight up just for that reason, let alone the money Pitts would get 2-3 years earlier than Dalton.

As a great philosopher once said; It's not a lie, if you believe it. Just because he can't see it ....

Likely would have had a HOF career, had he been able to maintain some self control and stayed with the Bills. What a disaster he's making of his life.

I use it if I can't remember a roster player name, number, age etc.

I live in Charlotte but was out of town the day the schedule officially came out. Friends were telling me local news and radio was specifically imploring Panthers fans don't sell their Bills game tickets. They know......

I get what you're saying and I don't think any fan enjoys a player they relatively like, posturing against the team they love. I don't even know if this stuff is proven to work. However, RB's especially, the way they get used and discarded. I'm for them doing whatever they have to, in order to earn every last dollar.

I think you make good points about the offensive line but I also disagree that any RB can replace Cook's production. I'm not saying he's irreplaceable but he's not easily replaced, IMO.

Small world, obviously being from Charlotte been to Rock Thrill many many times. Then you know the UNC love is intense, hence I decided to root for Duke, haha. BB will do very little recruiting, IMO. They have the infrastructure to take care of that. Him being the coach will help them close on more players than they ever have, IMO and obviously if he needs to get involved on a significant recruit, he will. It's also a pretty difficult school to get into and it has an extensive alumni with deep pockets. They will be able to recruit financially with any college in the country. Now will BB, I believe they'll be relevant.
