honestly haven’t watched a ton of him in the last year. He might not be the best example but I think not far from that split where it gets interesting. Like might be 1-2 guys above the cut but not far away.Dak is underrated. He is a top 10 guy.

If they feel they need another outside corner, they'll bring Dane Jackson up from the PS. Not saying this is a great solution, but he's there when/if the need arises.
Good point.

So well that we still give up most every 3rd and long when he’s on the field
Cam has been pretty good this year and last in the dime role. He had a horrible game against the Buccs (when he was playing more nickel for Taron who was out) but otherwise he has been pretty reliable and is certainly not responsible for every 3rd down or whatever it is you claimed.

it’s an interesting debate -the classic do you pay Kirk cousins and hope you get lucky bounces or keep drafting QBs and load up a superstar roster around a draft pick
If you have Kirk Cousins it is an interesting debate. If you have Dak Prescott you pay him. They are not the same tier of player.

Cam has been playing as our dime actually most of the last two years. And has played reasonably well.
Would not want to rely on him at outside corner.

I thought the problem with Tottenham was that the NFL doesn't get to play on the normal surface. They take it out and replace it with astroturf rolled over concrete.
Just what I heard.
Yea that's right.

Former 1st round pick of the Packers. He requested a release from Washington and was waived this week. Let's see what NFC team we pissed off this time.
I mean at his best he was definitely better than what we have. I know it didn't work out in Jacksonville last year (his DC then was Ryan Neilson) then he was a victim of a scheme change this year haven't watched much of him for the Commanders so don't know if he is toast?

But he had a history of knee issues and he has injured it already. Noy good when you combine it with how badly he played so far.
And the fact this tape didn't scream 9.88 RAS guy. That always makes me suspicious of a "combine monster." That said.... they took him in round 3. That is a reasonable place to take that swing. I don't hate that pick as much as some Beane has made.

yes
that pass pro grade i have no idea what to make of that. it hasnt been good to my eye
Agree. It hasn't been terrible. But last year it was good to the eye and this year I'd say generally it has been just okay. That they rank that high does surprise me. If they were 10th, 12th, sure. I'd recognise that. To be 2nd? Surprising.

Allen has not been as good avoiding sacks, and he is also the culprit for some of the sacks. But Dawkins hasn't been quite as good this year. He was awesome last year, and regressed a bit.
Brown hasn't been as good in pass pro this year either. That is why I am surprised by the pass pro stats because to the eye test they are worse. Because of work pressures I have watched less of the rest of the NFL this year compared to normal. So it may well be that it is just the rest of the NFL sucks in pass blocking.

I think Burrow goes off. This is a mismatch of epic proportions with zero pass rush. Their running game is VERY good as well. Bills need a repeat of the Steelers game on offense IMO, especially with Kincaid out again. The Pats game is looking even more bleak.
Whose running game? Cincy's? Nah.

I'll be interested to see if they can force this onto the International stadiums
Tottenham, I believe, already meets the NFL's higher standard which is ludicrous given its injury record. Wembley doesn't. But has a much better injury record.
So call me sceptical.

Yep, this is all on Beane. MMcDermott has proven time and again that he has little concern for corners and focuses mainly on wide receivers.
I mean I am sure he discussed it with McDermott but making moves on the waiver wire is 100% Brandon Beane's role and not Sean McDermott's.

If Slay was someone you signed to “go for it”, then yes, you do what you need to do … plenty of Ingram’s come along every year (I’m not saying Slay was the missing piece, mind you)
The only 34 year olds that ever help you "go for it" are vet QBs. No other 34 year old is a reasonable all in move.

EPA per dropback is, largely, a Quarterback stat. And look at the guys towards the top:
Love, Maye, Mahomes, Allen, Dak, Stafford.... it is a QB stat.
That said I do think the pass protection data is interesting. To the pure eye test it has not been as good as it was in 2024... but you also have to acknowledge that Allen has also bailed on more clean pockets in 2025 than for 2 or 3 years... and I think that is because he is hoping getting out and changing the angle disrupts the coverage and helps one of our lamppost receivers to shake free.

Yea that's a bad look for Beane. Was Ingram a critical piece? No. But did he provide some useful depth? Yep. Should you throw that away for a 34 year old? No.

I think it's gotten to an Andy Reid in Philadelphia level where it is best for both sides to part ways. I agree Tomlin will get a job elsewhere right away - my bet is on the Giants who have some young talent and need someone to steer the ship more than they need someone to blow it all up. Pittsburgh has just gotten too stale and they need a fresh direction to energize the locker room and the fanbase. They're stuck in a weird sort of purgatory where Tomlin is too good a coach to have a flat out bad season which is probably what they need to reset the talent in the organization. New England fired the GOAT, had one awful year, and now look to be set up for the next decade. It didn't mean Belichick couldn't coach anymore. It was just time to move onto the next chapter.
Belichick was a big different. Not only because the results had been so poor but because he was the de-facto GM too and on that side of the fence deserved his firing.
Honestly I wouldn't have fired Reid either. The whole "it's gone stale, fire the coach" logic isn't really for me.

Who won only 1 SB with Big Ben in his prime with a stud team: answer again.....Tomlin. Tomlin demands total control, which is rediculous. The Steelers need a total reset (Tomlin likely does as well).
He did have a big say in the Pickett and Rodgers decisions but in both cases he wanted them over the alternative of nothing. He wasn't Kevin Stefanski running Baker out of town because he must have Watson.
Pickett was QB1 in his class now I never loved him or thought he was a first round talent but a team without a QB took a shot on the consensus QB1 at their original drsft spot without trading up. I am not killing anyone for that.... and then wanting Rodgers over Russ and Fields..... I mean that isn't a terrible call.
If you want to say them having no QB since Ben is all on Tomlin it is definitely not.
Their coaching remains consistently better than their talent evaluation and their Quarterbacking. I do think he might need to be encouraged to risk his no losing season record to allow a hard reset of the roster and if he was really resistant to that I would then consider firing him as an owner. But if he said, yep, I'm on board, let's accept one down year, clean up our cap and see where we land then there is no way I'd fire him. He is and remains a very fine football coach.

The biggest problem in Pittsburgh is not Mike Tomlin. It is they can't find an answer at Quarterback and since Omar Khan took over they have not drafted great.
If they fire Tomlin he'd be hired in minutes.

I think the Rams are the team to beat despite them losing to a poor Carolina team this past weekend. There is no dominant team in the NFL right now.
I think the AFC is wide open.

The amount of pre snap panic I saw was disgusting earlier this year. Pointing, screaming, not aligned at snap.
Not sure if it was scheme but it most likely was confusing play calls coming in where the different position assignments didn't match.
That seems to have disappered.
It was Babich. I said after the Falcons game if McDermott takes over the D (and he needed to) the two things he would fix were 3rd down and pre-snap.... because those were coaching issues. And he has. There are plenty of other issues still with the D.... but the things that were very clearly coaching were fixable and have largely been fixed.

Maybe but he washes himself out of alot of plays taking wrong gap or over pursuing. I'll die in the hill that our early run D struggles were more back 7 and tackling then it was d line
It was the 2nd level - linebackers and nickel / dime players. They have been the biggest issue all season.

They wouldn’t be moving Harmon. So Metcalf is the only guy. I don’t think he’s worth the contract, but sometimes you can’t get everything you want. I doubt he’s gotten worse as a WR. Arthur Smith is his OC and his QB is washed.
He hasn't got worse but Seattle always knew what they had - the ultimate one trick pony. Pittsburgh have tried to use him in more diverse ways and he can't do it. He can run downfield in straight lines very quickly. That's it. However that is the thing the Bills can't do and need....

Many thanks for your balanced take. I don’t agree with the notion that the Bills WRs are the “worst in the league”, but it is not an unusual opinion on this board and that horse is fairly badly beaten to comment further.
As a non sequitor, I assume you are an Arsenal fan?
I am.

I am sorry I don't buy that. He needs a good team around him to do it, sure. But Dak in the right circumstances could win a Superbowl. Joe Flacco did. I don't think the gap between Hurts and Stafford and Dak is big.
