Not many 5th round QBs survive this long in the NFL. Looking at the teams he played for, he has really just been a backup on a rebuilding team throughout his career. There hasn't been high expectations that he'll need to come off the bench and save a team trying to make the playoffs. So, given the teams he's played for and the situations, he's a good candidate for NO this year. I don't think there are high expectations there for 2024 and if he is another "coach in the room" or on the practice field, this is an excellent decision. Low cap hit for a vet that can help "coach'em up". Good FA "pick" for New Orleans. As a previous poster noted, he may be setting himself up for a post-career coaching gig. Win-Win for him and New Orleans. My 2 cents.

Great stuff. I did not know BIA had a runway renovation project back in ‘04. I moved away in ‘83. That allows larger aircraft to now land there. So, you’re right, Terry is cheap! 🤪

One of the travel issues may be traced back to BIA. The runway is not rated for larger commercial aircraft from both length and aircraft weight requirements. This limits the team to smaller, less comfortable jets for travel. From experience traveling more than 100,000 miles per year, I’d much rather sit in a 757/767 than a 737 (even if the doors stay on) and I’m only 5’9”.

I guess the dietitian recommending, and the cafeteria only serving, Beef on Weck and Buffalo Wings everyday doesn’t sit well with the players. 🤔

As others have said, this is really a non-issue. First, there is no benefit to "stop the clock" when the penalty would just give the offense a free down. For example, going Offside intentionally would stop the clock, but it would give the offense the down over, plus 4 yards. If it gave the offense a first down, it's 4 additional downs to run the clock. Most in-play penalties (holding, interference, etc.) also create an automatic first down (again more free plays, more time used). If Ramsey held on the Bills 3rd and 13 to stop the clock, he's a moron. The situation here is rare when the offense got the first down "legitimately" and the fouls just added additional yards and stopped the clock. The only place this might be a good strategy is if the offense was 3rd and 1 and was the Eagles. You know they're almost automatically going to "tush push" the first down and giving them an additional 4 yards by being Offside helps by stopping the clock. Pretty rare situation. I do agree that post-play penalties is something to look at. Then the defense already knows the outcome was a 1st down and could draw an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty (i.e. call the ref an #######). I'm actually not sure if those currently stop the clock but competitive teams would have low value players pull that stuff in every game if that did stop it. There are probably a lot of rules the could have game situational "tweaks" to marginally increase "fairness" like this one. However, making the rules more complicated and more situational doesn't bode well for having better management of games by the refs. More complexity and nuance leads to more mistakes in any situation. The "juice isn't worth the squeeze" to change the rule for this type of somewhat rare situation. Now, fumbling the ball through the endzone.... My 2 cents.

Pretty sober analysis of the hit here. Can’t say I disagree with the narrator’s conclusions.

Didn't notice this in the thread. For those willing to wait a few hours, the Bills/Chargers game is being rebroadcast almost immediately after it ends on the NFL Network at 12am EST. I may just tune out the game information, record the game on NFLN and watch it in the morning.

Local Bay Area show’s post game comments…🤣 https://x.com/sportsradiowip/status/1711375100887421146?s=61&t=06CSS6-Ku6FDg0ic2A6LaQ

Pretty entertaining starting at around the 9:30 minute mark

I almost always find Burr hilarious. The accent, to me, just makes him more genuine vs. most other comedians so it’s a plus. If you haven’t listened to his helicopter schtick, look it up. He’s also a bit anti-PC so I feel guilty liking him! 🤔

Maybe Tua should wear the brown pants…

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/35200158/jim-leonhard-leave-wisconsin-staff-bowl-game Took over as interim HC this year after the team fired the incumbent after leading the team to a poor record. Leonhard turned the team around to make a Bowl game. Players lobbied for him to get the gig permanently but the school went another direction. They wanted him to return in his previous roll as DC and he told them to pound sand. The starting QB wanted him as well. We Leonhard didn't get the HC job, the QB entered the transfer portal. Sound like Leonhard is potentially a sought after commodity for a HC job in Division I football. Good for him. Smart player and looks like a good coach.

He is 2nd year LB Darrell Taylor (#52) out of Tennessee. He’s a backup OLB that, from the stats, rarely sees the field. Like most of you, given his experience and typical playing time, he probably saw his teammate hit the turf and assumed he was down like most of his pre-professional career. Excitement and experience won out over coaching.

I agree. I don't think he was anti-Buffalo. I just think that he wasn't good enough to contribute when he was here. He seemed to play better with the Raiders (what little I saw of him there) and he's projecting out to an 80 catch, 700 yard season for the Jags. Nice to see him staying in the league and finding a fit.
