Bleeding Bills Blue

Same agent is probably more like it. Teams have to pay them the full amount it all comes down to offset language.

If their coach is good - sure. Last time they made it under Gase, they played a weak schedule - beat like 1 team with a winning record, and had their best roster in like a decade. They also went 4-2 in the division which is unlikely from them this year when i look at that team.

Disagree on the teams aspect - at least regarding punt returners. hyde averaged 8 yards and led the team - as basically our designated punt catcher Roberts averaged 14 yards, had a TD on 23 returns and fair caught 27. Teams may punt away from him because hes pretty nimble. He has 5 career return TDs. He destroyed us in that bills jets game last year too with the injured kicker.

He's a bit more like a patterson/austin type of weapon than a precise route runner - id rather have that than dimarco, or even yeldon tbh. The cross motion plays with a guy like him really does open up running lanes for other players like allen and the backs as well.

They can also... all play. Browns deal is basically a 1yr deal. Its likely they both play. Also - he's scheduled to be an ERFA next season. Then he'd become a RFA. 3 years of really cheap robert foster? Or we could cut him for some reason..?

So wait... we cut the cheap one? In what world does that make sense? Only 4 are even showing up on our top 53 out of 90. We just signed Yeldon and it would save us more money to cut him and pay his guarantee, than cut foster. Eh - he makes up his mind very early on and will not change. Still loves tannehill and mariota - despite them clearly not having "it".

It comes down to tricking him with coverages not with blitzes - balls out so fast anyway.

It does. They do everything on a per play basis which i guess is good? But they don't know what the playcalls are so its hard to determine + vs - plays. They also hide everything behind an expensive paywall trying to convince you to buy so you can see where they come up with numbers. Byeeee you and "total QBR" can go to hell.

looks like a jackass - enjoy prison

Dont forget the comp pick for brown!

I probably keep 9 Oline over 7 corners. I'm also fully in the anti-fullback camp. Sirles has experience inside and outside - waddle worked under scarneccia - probably between those two. Someone probably goes on IR anyway so this whole argument is moot.

The 90 man to 53 man roster has a lot to do with this. 37 guys in camp don't make the team - you can't pay 37 guys to not play, it would take money away from the guys that do. There is no minor league affiliate where you can pay a player under his NFL wage like you can in the NHL and MLB. NHL has juniors, so you can have a guy come to camp and then send him back to play down there and maintain team control. They also have fully guaranteed contracts so holdouts are rare since if you get hurt, you get paid the entirety of your contract. MLB has the player options and team options - but if you get DFA'd you still get the remaining salary on your deal. Both have restricted free agency or arbitration years - and players hit UFA roughly in their prime. NBA is just absurd since 82 games, solid TV deal, and 12 guys per team - half on rookie deals - the other half either overpaid or underpaid based on contributions. The tax is confusing, and it seems like every deal has opt-outs every year.

Honestly may be on to something... Kelce (been good lately, but he's had concussions as well as microfracture knee surgery), Reed, Ertz, Olsen, Graham, Gronk, Rudolph, Doyle, Eifert, Walker... have all missed time. The only guy who doesn't is Witten. http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/former-redskins-te-fred-davis-attempting-nfl-comeback/ar-AADlT5F?li=BBnba9I&ocid=ientp This is what I've been clamoring for! Not everyone needs to be a prospective NFL guy - look for former players who want to get back into the game. Guys who didn't "retire", but are listed as "former" NFL players. Whats Shane Vereen up to? Or Gary barnidge?

If Kroft is on PUP you can keep 7 and make a move in week 7 with mckenzie or duke.

Rookie QB, pair of lousy centers... pretty good recipe for bad protection. Asking a lot of a 22 year old QB to set protections on his own.

Yeah - was it shanahan there? I felt like he was making an example since he skipped all the offseason program. Then post lockout he split time with the skins and NE... and disappeared. This cooley comment pretty much sums it up: “NO QUESTION, the Haynesworth contract (was worse),” Cooley said, via the Washington Post. “Because he was TRYING to get released by the team. His goal was to come here, make a large signing bonus, and then get released and not have to do any of the work. He didn’t care about the back end of that contract, he didn’t care about making all of that money. His idea was, you paid me for what I did in the past, and my goal is to be released as soon as possible and basically take $33 million from you for absolutely nothing.”

Yeah - moorman on that sean taylor pro bowl hit too. Its like... show no weakness.

He slid late... he definitely hasn't slid late since.

Lamar jackson fumbled 15 times last year (including the playoff game) - yeesh. Sub 5 YPC rushing, averaged more than a fumble per game, and an 8.6% sack rate that is very Tyrod like...

Guys looking for Clark/Lawrence money. Dee ford or trey flowers seems more appropriate - but i could see this lasting a while.

What bothered me most about watkins was the fact that so many WRs were there if we just sat. Watkins, Evans, Beckham, Cooks - all good and all wouldnt have cost us our 2015 1st.

In OTAs? Is there even like contact between players?

You mean if they switched rush sides and played in a 3-4 vs. a 4-3? I think it would make somewhat of a difference?

I think lining up opposite RT's should be a factor too. Bruce lined up opposite Left tackles. Typically in a 3-4 he may line up between guard and tackle, and you're likely more subject to double teams as the 4th rusher can come from the other side. This is an era of pretty conventional line up football too. Teams ran a lot, had 21 personnel a lot etc. However, i do recall Bruce lining up with tackles more often than not so they may just have shaded the line to his side some, freeing up talley to make plays and allowing you to line up bennett closer to the line.

Apples and oranges ... Both had 8 first team all-pro selections, and both had 2 DPOY selections. White had some of the flashier pass rushing seasons, but honestly its like 1A, 1B. They also played on different sides - Smith rushed against LTs and White rushed against RTs. One in a 3-4, another in a 4-3.
