What do you mean, "?" ?

For those who think the NFL policy of suspending players for weed is dumb, here's my two cents. And I say this with the full knowledge that more "well informed" individuals will correct my "misconceptions" about pot...
Is pot legal? In some places, yes. In some circumstances, yes.
Is pot harmful? In most cases, usually not. In some cases, yes.
Does smoking pot lead to poor choices? In some cases, yes. Could those poor choices be harmful to yourself or others, yes.
Does the desire to smoke pot lead to poor choices? Yes. I'm not talking about the chemical effects of the drug here; I'm talking about the apparently uncontrollable impulses people have when they're not high.
Should the NFL relax its marijuana policy? My view is that it should not because it's consumption and the pursuit of its consumption is apparently so compelling as to make people willing to throw away $100 million opportunities. And anything that renders a person so GODFORSAKEN STUPID is not a thing I want the NFL telling my 9-year-old son or 9-month-old daughter "Sure, go to town!"
Call me old-fashioned, but the self-indulgence and "I'mma get mine" ethos in our society is the reason for more of our problems than all the politicians, corporations, special interests and terrorists combined.
Now get off my lawn.
Karlos' food addiction was so compelling as to make him willing to throw away millions of dollars of opportunities.
Criminalize whatever it was that Karlos was eating! Your poor 9 year old son or 9 month old daughter depends on it!

I've seen it ruin several lives and see no reason to open up that misery on others by making it legal.
Can we criminalize sugar? I've seen that ruin way more lives than any substance out there. Heart disease is the #1 cause of death.

And fills their stadiums with drunk fans.
lol exactly

Is NY one of those 2 states?
Stop making excuses for weed. Just because it has stoners lobbying for it to be legal does not make it right. It is also against the NFL's rules. If he has straightened his life out and got off the pot and is suspended for missing a test I sort of feel bad for him. Even if he is smoking I understand his addiction might be tough to kick but he has to look out for himself and his income. That is a lot of money to piss away so he can get his fix. That in another self is proof that pot is tough to kick.
Pot isn't any more addictive than watching television or checking your Twitter on your iPhone. You're really out of touch.
-
I'm upset too but honestly - is there a bigger joke out there today than the NFL's substance abuse policy? This coming from a league that makes billions of dollars on human beings knocking their heads together and destroying their brains.

Schmidt doesn't kickoff, he's the punter. Punting and kickoffs are very different skill sets. Jordan Gay handles kickoff duties.
lol yes I'm aware that the Bills are the only NFL team having to waste a roster spot on a kickoff specialist because they don't have a kicker or punter capable of doing it.
-
Colton Schmidt just punted the ball about 70 yards in the air. Gets some raves from assistant coaches and gives them a fist pump.
Yet he can't kick a ball 70 yards off a tee. smh
-
Somebody there might boo.
I don't think NFL fans in Philadelphia would stoop to that level.
-
Cleveland legitimately could have the first two picks in the 2017 draft.
...and still screw it up.

I have not attended a minute of camp but - From what i can tell - salas and little are very similar. Big dudes but they don't offer a ton. They're available for a reason. But reliability is pretty good - I'd rather have guys out there who can catch vs. otherwise. But do you need 2 more of them? People already complain that Woods is just a guy. Now we'd go 3 deep with receivers who are just guys.
Powell seems to offer some teams ability - at least returning. Had a good preseason game too - i know Rex appreciates guys who show up for games.
I know nothing about dez lewis, but i can't imagine we're keeping him and listenbee.
Easley isn't healthy - and is primarily teams. We added anderson/blanton for that. So i don't see him making it. But maybe he'll start the year on PUP, with possibly listenbee.
My only thing is: I haven't been at camp. I can't make a knowledgeable decision based on 10 snaps in a preseason game. He's 3rd on the depth chart right now, so i imagine he's having a good camp. But his injury history is something that makes you think twice about relying on him for a full season. Nobody else on that list besides the top 2 has earned a thing - so they need to beat him out for the job. Apparently they are failing.
I don't know a lot about Little but my understanding is that Salas is more of a slot receiver where as Little can line up more outside.
This team doesn't throw enough to require stars at WR. Just be reliable. As long as these guys are smart, run solid routes and are sure-handed, they can contribute to a productive offense.
Dez Lewis is a physically-imposing specimen and is just beginning to come into his own. My guess is that Listenbee misses the season. Call it a redshirt. Easley is too highly-regarded as a gunner to be released but I don't know about the severity of his injury.

I only call it as I see it with Rex...if the student hasn't learned the teacher has not taught.... going from a top 3 D to near bottom is Rex's responsibility.
he is responsible.....for the system and the players....if Mario Williams didn't or couldn't learn the system Rex is responsible for either teaching it better or putting his a?? in the stands. not waiting for a year
Of course Rex is responsible. But the players share that responsibility. These are paid professionals. They're not little leaguers.
-
For arguments sake - who would you keep in his place?
Watkins
Woods
Powell
Salas
Little
Lewis
Easley
should all make the team ahead of Goodwin.
-
Absolutely not true. The ONLY reasonable knock on Glass is that he's always getting hurt. That's it. He's an excellent route runner, has good hands, and takes the lid off the defense.
Stop lying. None of that is even remotely true.
Goodwin has absolutely no natural awareness when the ball is in the air. The last two preseason games I've seen him play his poor route running has led to incompletions when they should have been huge gains if not touchdowns.
I for one was very impressed with Goodwin after his rookie season three years ago and had extremely high hopes for him. But he's done nothing but regress as a player since then.
-
What kind of a name is Kroy anyways? Comanche Indian?
His name was supposed to be Kory but his parents misspelled it.
-
The big excuse last year is the D was not on the same page as they could not learn the system...so they tried to simplify half way through the season.Duke Williams is playing better this year because Rex says he has had a year to absorb the system.
The brought in Ed Reed to help because he played in the system
They brought in Rob Ryan because he knows the system
If I have to find one of the 200 times the system has been reported I will
exactly...Rex is so full of himself and his fathers vaunted 46 D he makes the team suffer....I hope 2 years in that the players can handle the system.
Make no mistake - it is much more complicated than the average system. But it's on the players to be willing to learn it. They're professionals too and should be held accountable as well.
I think the players underestimated how complicated and different it was in last year's training camp and weren't prepared going into the season and lost confidence in themselves as the season progressed.
You seem to have an emotionally-charged agenda.
-
Rex has such a complicated defence how ridiculous is it to hear it takes 2 years ( or more) to learn the language....and the fans eat that excuse up.
There is no way an owner or GM should accept such a line of Bull.....
What other endeavor on earth can you imagine you hire people to do a job and pay them $75,000,000 and let the manager prepare instructions so complicated they cannot do their job.
Rex is full of Bulls...
Everyone else is stupid and he is so smart they have to get their PHD before they can even listen to his theory.
Who said it takes more than two years to learn the Ryan system? Can you provide a link to that? Because the Jets accomplished it in Year #1 back in 2009.
I think someone else is full of Bulls...in this thread - and it ain't ole Rexy.
-
We also had Mario, who was one of the best rushers on earth at the time. Again, he's the worst player but he had a gigantic impact on our defense.
God, I hate being so negative but I agree. Again, Mario was 2nd team all pro DE. That is a huge loss.
lol come on. This can't be serious.
-
This team is going to struggle big time putting pressure on the qb. Our best pass rusher outside of Hughes could very well be Eric Striker. I hope he starts making an impression in preseason game 2 because he was invisible in game 1
As long as the players are well-versed in the scheme and communicate well, they will get pressure on the QB regardless of individual pass-rushing abilities.

Just a couple more camp bodies who will be cut in a few weeks.
-
What makes you say that?
Why would they go through the effort of stadium naming rights if they're just going to destroy it a few years later?
-
It just means that you have spared yourself from that Real Housewives Reality Show nonsense.
Rex- Denies reports of FA DE Kroy Biermann signing with #Bills. Said they're exploring making an addition to roster.
Must not be officially official yet. Hope that's all it is because he'd be a very solid pickup considering he's historically so good against the run.
His last name is perfect for Buffalo, btw.
-
She's like the "A-list" reality star. She may be the biggest reality star.
I doubt that very much. I've literally never heard of her until just now.
-
This must mean that the new stadium isn't happening anytime soon (within the next 20 years or so).

Less money? How could he have possibly been given more money than he got? He's not an elite franchise quarterback.
Hell, many don't even consider him to be a Top 10 defensive lineman.
