  1. They hit that number last year with Von getting 4, and Solomon, Toohill, and Smoot combining for 4.5. So i went with the over.
  2. I think the challenge there was fit with a boundary receiver who's a plus blocker. None of that is really his game, and depth wise they had Shakir and Samuel. They've since added Moore as another similar type of player to McConkey. Is McConkey as effective a player when outdoors, or when its cold ? It's a small sample size, but the splits suggest - no, he is not - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McCoLa00/splits/2024/. And that was with this slate of outdoor games: New England, Cleveland, Denver, Pittsburgh, and Carolina. So 3 of the worst teams in the league, and 2 playoff teams where he had 7 catches on 14 targets for 77 yards and 0 TDs. It's hard to say one way or another with a really small sample, but i do think sub 9" hands can be an issue with a cold wet ball.
  3. Yeah, his shot was last year though. He got injured and didn't crack the depth chart or make the PS. That means Buffalo liked MVS more than him, and liked hamler and Shavers on PS. Adding Palmer and Moore over MVS/Cooper and Hollins, and its really hard to see him making the team or making any level of impact here.
  4. I'm not sure i wouldn't rather have one of Shenault, Prather, or Shavers. A year off of football is never good, even if he isn't a major injury risk. Then factoring in that the 6th WR is a core special teamer in most scenarios, I'm not sure having him on the 53 is more valuable than keeping the roster spot for a lineman or corner and using PS call-ups like Shavers and Virgil for games where one of the 5 is injured.
  5. Donald and Oliver have similar get off, but Donalds power, footwork, and specifically his hands are just next level.
  6. Far from a bust though. He was a pre-season #1 overall type player so it's hard to ignore hype like that at #9. Lawrence and Wilkins were teammates so that can create some challenges scouting - was one looking better because of the other etc. Lawrence also projected as a pure 1T which usually isn't a 1st round priority.
  7. I wonder if playing the opposite of Terry Bradshaw would be a winning strategy though.
  8. I think you're talking about his legacy which is fine - he has a better resume than McDermott. In the upcoming season...? I don't really see him as the #2 coach going into the season. Other than beating the chiefs backups in week 18, they lost their last 3 games and beat almost no one with a winning record all year.
  9. He's passing game coordinator for the Cowboys under Shottenheimer but i don't think he's going to call anything. His miami meltdown also probably didn't help my opinion of his playcalling. Like what are you doing running 92 offensive plays in that heat and passing way too often. The Bengals/Broncos games before his firing were also, very poorly called games - 8 RB rushing attempts against cincy, and just a total inability to manage clock was becoming a major issue.
  10. Payton's ahead of him because of getting a rookie QB to the playoffs or whatever. But he was absolutely outcoached in the playoffs against buffalo to an almost embarassing degree. That was the popular "Upset alert" and they promptly got stomped. To me - PFF is supposed to be the "analytics" group, and this article didn't offer much of anything to back it up.
  11. Tomlin's one super bowl win involved Tom Brady's torn ACL, and a playoff upset of the colts by the chargers.
  12. He won coach of the year 2x... but he's also never won the division and missed the playoffs 3/5 times.
  13. Manning is a 2x SB MVP which i think is gonna help him considerably. 5 road wins during those 2 SB winning seasons.
  14. I think Colemans going to take a step this year and put up a really good season in the region of 60+/1000+/8+.
