Bleeding Bills Blue

We did actually sign like - 3 players to replace him in a way. Addison for pass rushing, Klein for LB, and Maketivich for teams.

My only issue is - in a 12 personnel grouping he's a running threat. He wouldn't be getting lamar jackson numbers, but you saw how successful ball control and defense was for them last year. NE already has a defense thats pretty beast, and good at taking the ball away. Add another dynamic threat to their run game and it could be a pretty big problem. You can't bring in CK and just go - we're running the tom brady offense. It's the same reason you couldn't bring in Cam. Rocket arms, not the type of pinpoint accuracy that makes a bunch of short stuff into bigger stuff - but they can move the pocket and make some plays with their feet when necessary.

Was just thinking - i doubt that the flagship store is open but i bet they could make it for you. I also really like the look of this hat so... if you figure it out let us know

At the end of the day - if we truly don't believe people can change. Then whats this all for? I think liking tweets and having a full heart to heart discussion with a teammate are a big difference.

They were also in the national title game - i could see him changing it specifically for that as well.

That section is the like affluent area around delaware park too IIRC.

Comes down to the 1 on 1 conversations with locker room leaders. Be real, be sincere, be empathatic.

I'm of the opinion that you can truly joke about anything.

Oh man... I pretty much only play online with friends in party chat to avoid all that. Now if you listen to my call of duty warzone party chat you'll just repeatedly hear me say "wow i suck", "why am i so bad at shooting?", "why do i play this game?", and "are you serious?!"

The rush to judgement in many cases is what bothers me the most. Al Franken resigned like 2 weeks after accusations. None of which could or would have likely been proven - all to help his party. In the end Kristen Gillibrand used it as the launching point for her incredible failure of a presidential campaign. Yeah - much like the tunsil draft day photo... timing for someone doing this was not great. Very clearly meant to tarnish his reputation - must've been a bad breakup or something.

he was also like 15. I was talking about this to my buddy the other day, we didn't have twitter then - but imagine some of the crap we said when we played counterstrike....

I probably would at least consider it? Might be easier to stash on the PS now in any case.

I probably would have spoken out loud - but the messaging is fine i guess. It somewhat reads - sorry i got called out for something i said.

Needs to be open to sitting down with every single guy on the team... and being open to listening to them. Trying to understand where others are coming from. Empathy. He probably looks at casual joking racism as "im not really racist", but in all reality - that's something that enables deeper discrimination. Making it funny and OK is one of the main problems.

I'd even go so far as to have an emotional like - speaking post. A written apology probably isn't enough here. Speak from the heart - accept responsibility and blame. Say how you're trying to be a better person - and give up some of that signing bonus towards a charity.

I tend to agree - it was said in a personal conversation... doesn't necessarily represent his beliefs. But its also possibly the worst time something like this could be leaked out. And his teammates have all seen it at this point... What he says next will basically make or break whether he has a career or not.

Yeah, gotta think something went down. But good luck trying to win the room now.

Still... It leaked. And he said some horribly ignorant stuff... at a really bad time. He's gotta do some serious damage control to try and save his career. He was fringe material before this, now ur own teammates see who you can be behind closed doors. Like... An apology is huge, a personal change is huger. Especially after the stuff McDermott said in his presser.

A factor i hadn't thought about... there will be far less revenue this season if they decide to play without fans. The cap's probably going down in 2021, so to me that seems likely that teams try and create space this season to drag into next season since estimates are saying it could be as much as 30 million lower. Murphy+long (cheap replacements), and even norman/hauschka (if they don't beat out wallace/bass) seem like possible cuts to try and target that 30 million-ish amount to drag into 2021. Barkley (fromm/webb) and roberts (mckenzie and mccloud) are cheap enough that i think they could get moved for late round picks. I'd also consider harrison phillips in a tough spot as well from a playing time perspective. He's under contract through 2021, but if he's going to be inactive on gamedays it might make sense to either move him for a player at more of a need position (maybe LB on a rookie deal), or a pick.

He played corner a little in week 17 iirc. Dawkins will have another TD this year for sure. Guys got hands! Probably faster too.

If teams are playing man and bracketing diggs, that means you have beas and brown likely in 1x1 situations, same with knox. Also if you bracket diggs... there's a likelihood for a lot of space for the RB underneath to make plays. The other problem with playing straight man coverage - if you don't spy Allen, he can hurt you with his legs. If you do spy allen, you create a lot of time for players to uncover.

Probably made more sense to trade the first in the offseason since - you knew where it was, and you had an idea where the top 3 WRs were going. If it required a trade up to get say Lamb - you may have given up more than what they gave up in this trade.

I already worked from home in buffalo - but my company is located in St. Louis, and they are not planning to open the offices until October at the earliest. 2021 is also a scenario in their mind. They're more focused on getting all the warehouses, integration centers, etc. 100% opened. Figured I'd give a "rest of US" update.

I think Murphy sticks or is cut - his money is too high this late in the game for a lot of teams to take him on. I think he stays tbh. Gaines could be an option. Foster and McKenzie as well. Depends on the rookies.
