    I can understand this point of view although I was all in on Von. I’d be interested in who you would have spent that money on more wisely though. Or, is this just you don’t like spending that kind of money for an older DE despite his pedigree? Just curious, as I don’t think signing Von to that contract has really kept us from making any other moves that we wanted to make and our biggest need at the time was some pass rush to get past KC. Sucks that he blew out his knee which was a risk we took.

    I would have spent the $$$ on offense.

    If you don't want to read the whole thesis, Urschel provided a short summary:

     

    "This thesis considers four independent topics within linear algebra: determinantal point processes, extremal problems in spectral graph theory, force-directed layouts, and eigenvalue algorithms. For determinantal point processes (DPPs), we consider the classes of symmetric and signed DPPs, respectively, and in both cases connect the problem of learning the parameters of a DPP to a related matrix recovery problem. Next, we consider two conjectures in spectral graph theory regarding the spread of a graph, and resolve both. For force-directed layouts of graphs, we connect the layout of the boundary of a Tutte spring embedding to trace theorems from the theory of elliptic PDEs, and we provide a rigorous theoretical analysis of the popular Kamada-Kawai objective, proving hardness of approximation and structural results regarding optimal layouts, and providing a polynomial time randomized approximation scheme for low diameter graphs. Finally, we consider the Lanczos method for computing extremal eigenvalues of a symmetric matrix and produce new error estimates for this algorithm."

     

    Typical locker room jock talk.  

    To quote the scarecrow…If I only had a brain.

    I think the relevance of the 'history' is that embarrassing 6-9 loss, during which the Bills demonstrated that if you don't take a team, any team, seriously; if you don't prepare hard and play hard every week; you can and will get your ass handed to you on Any Given Sunday in the NFL.

     

    I will never forget sitting in the stadium that day dumbfounded as to what I was witnessing in person.

    The Bears have both their own pick and the Panthers #1 pick. I think that they have Caleb Williams in the bag.

    It’s a long year.  Before the season started, people were speculating that Arizona(who have their own pick plus Houston’s) would be a good bet to land both Williams AND Harrison.  Fast forward 4 weeks, and look how that has already changed.
