K-9

Probably because Dawkins got dinged up and sat out afterward. At least according to Chris Brown on 'One Bills Live' this afternoon.

The rest of the gang will be around shortly. The bat signal has been sent. And with so little negative news six days into camp, it should be a banner rag session.

There it is. Just like clockwork.

I appreciate where you're coming from, but what he's paid (his worth) and what his cap hit is are two different animals. The cap and managing it are a dynamic, fluid element that's constantly in flux. Other aspects of the cap can me managed to mitigate possible negative impacts Thomas's deal might present down the road and they will have to be vigilant as all teams need to be. I can respect the Saints wanting to seize the moment within a narrowing window given Breez's age. I also appreciate the idea of the negligible amount of touches a wideout might garner, but his presence impacts others that touch the ball as well on a play to play basis. If a DC has to devote more resources to counter Thomas, that's a value he brings without having to touch the ball at all. Anyway, it's on him to justify his new deal. And with Breez pitching, I think he will.

A true Buffalo killer back in the day. His last years have been challenging with his dementia onset and I truly hope he’s at rest and in peace.

Carr can’t extend plays that allow receivers more time to lose DBs like Roethlisberger, either.

I’ll predict it comes in at $1.7m.

Hey, Sean. Perhaps you should also ask the OLman who got his ass handed to him by Oliver to get off the field, too.

Got that right. What’s interesting to me is that I first heard him state his positional importance theory in ‘84. That long ago. It’s always been a QB’s league and it always will be.

Bill Polian agrees with the bold text. And, given the evolution of the game since he became a GM, he might even agree with four and five being a WR and CB.

You’d think. I mean, it’s not a very high bar.

Unfortunately, not like Morse they can’t.

Great point.

Oh, it’s crazy alright. And some team in the near future is gonna go even crazier on another wideout.

All players are worth whatever a team is willing to pay them.

Got that right. But he is really gonna be unhappy when he sees that Carr ain’t the same kind of pitcher as Roethlisberger.

Scheffy getting a plug in for the agents? Is he repped by them, too?

I love how the word “unnecessary” gets tossed around when describing how McBeane created a record amount of dead cap space. McBeane, for good or bad, had a plan, determined who was essential to that plan, and executed it; they decided what was “necessary” to carry it out. The creation of all that dead cap money was simply a function of them doing what they felt was “necessary” to achieve their desired results. The word “unnecessary” simply doesn’t apply. It was absolutely necessary for them. Quibble all you want about it being right, wrong, or a mix of the two, but that’s a different argument. Disagree about letting go of talented players that you liked and don’t think they should have been let go, but that is entirely beside the point relative to their plan for the rebuild. And nobody knows the result at this point. That should be obvious to everybody.

"43's the Mike! 43's the Mike!"

Better to get out now than waste reps on a guy who is just gonna arrive at the decision a little later. He was getting his ass handed to him and realized it was time.

Why, bless your little heart. Now go F yourself!

Imo, what makes it an “accomplishment” (whatever that means) is that they conducted the purge while being able to add good talent to replace the departed players AND used the draft capital acquired in that purge to move up and grab their franchise QB, not to mention a highly touted MLB prospect to boot. Whether it pans out or not remains to be seen. But it’s not like they purged the roster and said, “WTF do we do now.” Instead, they created a plan and executed it. Even their biggest detractors should respect that.

Not sure about any word on Morse after practice. But I found these in Morse: .... . / .. ... / --. --- -. -. .- / -... . / .--- ..- ... - / ..-. .. -. . .-.-.-

Per the bold text, not for the Bills he isn't.

Chameleon.
