I'm thinking you'll need a shower after the Indian food too.

Absolutely not. This is one of the most dangerous sports in the world. Get paid while you can and use every tactic. The owner, GM and coaches smile and bro hug you and pretend they want a personal relationship with you. They'll throw you out like yesterdays trash. Same with a player. Smile, bro hug back and let them in a little personally. Then bend them over, when you get the chance.

I've been happy with Apollo TV.

He's been well below average, IMO.

I'm surprised most that did an actual projection, don't have Toohill making the team. I haven't heard much about him in camp but he seems to fit what McD likes and he was an early FA target.

I have two sons in college and wanted to take advantage of the student discount. My son said the offer expired 7-30-24. Anyone know if that's accurate or did anyone do this last year?

Interesting difference of opinions. Brady said he's a natural at center with great communication that will help on the road. - Chris Brown

RT's are becoming more important but in the era when you could blow a QB up the blind side was far and away the more important tackle. Now that they are protected, the gap isn't as big.

I wasn't arguing for or against Hollins and I think it's reasonable to say he'd be a "surprise cut". Bringing up Allen and Oliver as counter arguments against the OP is foolish, Jack.

What's foolish is to argue Hollins is as secure as Allen and Oliver. Not only from a playing standpoint but also contractually. Your view is more extreme than the OP, yet you think that's acceptable.

I thought we agreed that's more ridiculous than saying Hollins but then you did it again. I get it. You can't think of someone that most believe will make the team, yet will be a surprise cut without being snarky.

Or you might say McCaffrey

I enjoyed listening to Samuel talk yesterday on GR about this. I'm getting the feeling the Bills 2024 offense is going to have quite a few surprises to it.

No,.I really think you're missing it and you've been caught 3 times.

Hence it may be a surprise. Pretty clear I wasn't arguing for or against Hollins getting cut.

I'm not saying I think he will or want Hollins to get cut but I think the spirit of the thread is "surprise cuts". Based on even what you said, it would be a surprise.

I think maybe we were talking past each other. I don't think Solomon is getting cut, I think he'll be a practice squad player. I now know that's what you mean by making the roster. I consider making the roster, the 53. I consider making the team, includes PS players.

You know the numbers better than me because I haven't researched. However, 75% of 5th rounders making the 53 man roster seems real high. I'm not saying Solomon won't realize some true potential. I'm just thinking a vet like Toohill, that appears to have been blocked from playing time by some really good DE's in front of him, is going to have to beat out. I'm just not sure a 5th round pick is going to do that. I certainly wouldn't hate it, because if he's good enough to make the game day line up, I love it.

Toohill is making the team, IMO, with little issue. Smoot, if he returns to form will too. The 5th round rookie needs to beat them out or he's going to the PS, and I don't see him beating them out. To me Toohill seems like a McDermott type of player. High effort, non stop motor.

People aren't mentioning him but I think Toohill is going to play.

I think Toohill is really going to pleasantly surprise.

Both of my sons play baseball in the Charlotte NC area, one in college. We've had a lot of great memories and we're still adding some. I love watching them compete. In 2016 I bought NY Yankees tickets early in the season as we planned a trip from Charlotte. The team sucked and as our game approached, Cashman began trading any players you'd even be interested in watching. We couldn't believe that was the year we picked for a family trip. As it turns out a prospect named Aaron Judge was called up and played in our game. He hit his first home run as a Yankee and we were there.

There's nothing wrong with feeling good about Shakir. There's also reason to believe there's others on the roster who can and will ball out.

I really don't think we'd be laughing at the Pats if they signed someone like Claypool during the Brady years. We'd be saying, damn if Brady can make this dude stay straight, that's a lot of talent there.
