I would think so. McD and Beane love competition though, so they're always pushing guys to stay focused and to get better. However, I would think there's plenty of kicks needed for the remainder of the off season to just need another leg.

He keeps saying over and over and over again that pre-season is a waste of time. Except he's totally wrong or every single NFL head coach wouldn't play the starters ever. It doesn't take a genius to comprehend that the pre-season does matter when there's a QB competition - and that's only one reason. Brady threw 26 passes in his second game. I guess it just doesn't matter and they had him do that because it's a way to waste time. Schoop is a fool and bulldog doesn't want to disagree with him, so the show becomes about two idiots that take on a stance and spend the show putting down anyone that disagrees. It's so disgustingly obvious why he's championing Jackson - just come out and say it you coward.

He's an embarrassment to himself.

He's just a focused individual that is rooted in principles. He seems like a very structured person. He's got a plan and he believes it, so the players believe in him. I would imagine the players view him as reliable. The team last year believed in each other - it's one of the hardest things to get that many personalities to do.

In

I can see his rushing yards going to down both from the offensive line issues and also by design. I think he'll see less carries than normal with Ivory on the team - they'll want to keep the wear and tear on him controlled. He's going to be a larger factor in the passing game - I can see his passing yards going to the 500-600 yard level.

He'll be nothing without Tyrod. Who let's go of franchise QB"s? Only the Bills.

Did you watch the embedded video? Eddie Y got praised multiple times by McD. I agree with you that I think he's making it for sure. I don't know about Fede but I think Shaq could be in jeopardy. It looks like he's trying hard to me but there just aren't many results.

Is it the same long black wrap used on ACL tears?

No, that's the beauty of it. Of course we don't get any news as fans but we have a head coach that keeps everything in house - even the obvious. I only wish he doubled down by saying if AJ is going to miss significant time, we'll bring someone in and they'll have an opportunity to start just like AJ.

It doesn't make him sound dumb. It's clear that he's not telling the media anything - ever. He even tells them - I'm not answering that question. Then the majority of the rest of the questions are the exact same question he just said he's not answering. It's embarrassing for them not him.

You're not getting it. He badly wanted it to be the ACL. It's what he's about.

Can Bodine be his Hull?

What if field goals counted for 7 points, would we see teams kick them more? This is fun.

Tyrod is not a good throwing QB and we saw it last night. I know it's pre-season but that's Tyrod minus his running which he won't do much (smartly) in pre-season. Landry will get frustrated and the team will lose early - then Mayfield will quickly get his shot, imo.

Josh Gordon is perplexing to me. He seems like such a likable young man and someone that can put their mind to something and do it. He doesn't seem like that typical person you know is just going to struggle to get it together.

It was on Bodine. edit: I think I put more blame on Bodine looking back but Ducasse is clueless. Even Clay missed. This play is pretty bad and I think what Wood did was communicate responsibilities. He was a very smart player.

I remember debating some poster a while back on Wood. He said he's average at best - I said you'll miss him when he's gone. We're missing him, Bodine was not good last night. He, IMO, was 100% responsible for the sack on McCarron that came up the middle. There's no good reason he left his man, ran to the left, and his guy smashes the QB. It was so bad it looked like it was on purpose.

Making other players better.

He's been the best guy in both games. He clearly can handle the bad o line play better and this kids poise is impressive. As Augie said, he is the best option but if that's not what's best for him, I don't want him out there. It's two separate conversations.

I have a hard time going against McDermott here because he knows the player better than any of us - and he wanted him. I agree with you guys here that he noticeably was very bad tonight. When he and Washington were in the game it was not good at all. On the flip side I could easily see how players may want to proceed with caution in the pre season. I hope that's the case with Star. I wonder what McDermotts view on this is. Does he want players giving everything they have while they're in there?

As an Ortho PA Looked like the trainer did just one test for a PCL or ACL and didnt feel the need to check it further. Could be wrong, but I’d bet he did not feel instability in either direction, and Kyle reassured him he felt ok. Likely a sprained ligament.

I shouldn't have said total loser - you may be a decent guy but you're depressed person here. I pitty people like you and you need it.

There's no other fan on this site that loves bad news more than you.
