K-9

He seldom appears fooled by much anymore. And he’s as good as anyone at moving safeties with his eyes post snap at this stage of his career. His ability to extend plays gives his receivers time to read the post snap defense and adjust as well. When it comes to Allen, pre-snap disguises just aren’t as effective as they might otherwise be vs other QBs. He’s gonna make you commit post snap regardless. Ask Belichick how he feels about Josh’s susceptibility to pre snap disguises. Three of the last four games vs. the Pats*** Bellyache has tried everything under the sun to confuse JA and Allen has toyed with them. If not for two bad weather games that effectively took the ball out of Allen’s hands, it would be five straight games of Allen dominating NE***.

Where was the autopsy conducted, Tennessee or Florida where he died?

Looked pretty good in this national tv game:

Great watch. A 30 minute tutorial on why Josh Allen is a pain in the butt to play against. Simms was spot on when he said there have only been a few in history who can do what he does on the field. It’s not easy for defenses to have to defend the entire field on every play. And JA is still only beginning to figure out the position. It’s almost unfair.

That says more about the state of Howard’s ability than it does Sweeney’s. Bills took a shot that Howard had sufficiently recovered from injuries and regained the form that made him the number five overall pick in his draft. Unfortunately, he is a shadow of his former self. Sweeney outplayed him all summer. It’s as simple as that.

The top image shows multiple slot receivers. The bottom image doesn’t as there is no receiver outside of Diggs to create a slot. Lining up tighter vs. wider doesn’t define a slot.

I think you’re memory is fuzzy. One girl was 16, the other of legal age and Lowe settled the case and was never even charged let alone went to jail.

Agreed. I would add that another big contributing factor has been the change in media ownership laws since the 80s as well. Use to be strict regulations on how many and what types of outlets could be owned by a single entity both nationally and locally. Consolidated corporate media ownership has hurt our ability to report and consume news.

The victim saying she was 18 is only one aspect of the type of proof a defendant may offer. Attire, appearance, venue where they met, like an adult party or bar, are others. As to the rest of it, yeah, I’d like to think a 21 year old man has enough sense to avoid bad situations. But I’m not debating that one way or the other here. I’m just addressing the narrow scope of what California law provides under their statutory rape laws.

I think he is destined for the PS. If the Giants claim him off the PS then don’t the Bills have to sign him to the 53 or lose him or does that rule not apply to vested vets? I’m inclined to believe the Bills don’t wanna carry three QBs on the 53. Agree entirely that Barkley would wanna have more fun on a SB contender.

I’m furious that I don’t have more places to vent my self righteous indignation.

I don’t know how many times I’ve addressed the issue and linked the legal info, but California law allows defendants to prove they had a reasonable and actual reason to believe the victim was 18 or over at the time. It’s not cut and dried at all that Araiza admitted to felony statutory rape.

No.

I don’t think the lord has forum privileges to do that.

I meant it as a question and should have used a question mark.

I’m inclined to believe it was the discovery of facts that exonerated him and not a news conference.

Here are the three things the prosecutor needs to prove under CA law. It’s rather easy to establish the age of the victim, perhaps the easiest. The onus is on the defendant to prove he had a reasonable expectation to believe the victim was of legal age. Defenses are also in the linked article. Interesting stuff. https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/261-5/

Any lawyer worth his salt would never let his defendant client give a press conference to answer questions about the crime he’s accused of.

Actually, it’s the defendant that has to prove there was a reasonable and actual expectation to believe the victim was 18 or older. Evidence could include attire, appearance, venue, testimony, etc. The prosecutor merely has to establish the victim was under 18 at the time.

I submit that the punting game is built around much more than the punter’s leg.

Been saying this since the story broke: each year, teams and the league spend multi millions of dollars on pre-draft background checks and deeper investigations of hundreds of potential draft prospects. Unless the league and/or Bills private investigators were totally inept, I find it unbelievable that they couldn’t have known. It defies logic. That said, and because it happens often, private investigators may have been fed less than entirely truthful information at some point along the way.

I haven’t seen that, but I’ll take your word for it.

According to the plaintiff’s lawyer only at this point.

Like I said, “according to some in this thread.” Point is, it’s not up to the victim to drop anything police or the DA may be pursuing relative to bringing criminal charges.

There’s no reason a victim can’t pursue both criminal and civil litigation. According to some in this thread, the victim dropped the criminal pursuit because she and her family grew weary of the scrutiny, the time it takes to conduct a proper investigation, and frustration that the SDPD wasn’t concerned enough ( which I find ludicrous given her injuries). But that doesn’t mean the SDPD stopped their investigation. Victims don’t dictate that anyway. I suspect the reason there hasn’t been a criminal charge made is because the SD County DA didn’t have enough solid evidence to prosecute and, like most DAs, wasn’t gonna bring anything less than a slam dunk in front of a jury.
