I don't think I'd single out Shaq as a problem on this team. Solid pick with upside.

While I agree the OL played better last year than this, I don't think it has as much to do with the system as it does our opponents. The D we've played thus far have been very good. Last year we had some really inflated numbers against teams like SF, Rams, Browns, Raiders, etc. We were held to less than 70 yds rushing in 25% of our games. TT had almost 600 yds "rushing" (more a reflection of poor pass blocking and QB play than our ability to run the football). Our OL hasn't been very good for years and is a big reason we haven't been successful. We've struggled against big aggressive DLs as our OL are pretty soft (RI excluded). Without a top 10 QB and with a mediocre OL at best and a dearth of talent at WR we aren't going very far again this year. I don't IMHO see an ego thing but rather FO recognizing the "talent" we have won't get us back to the SB. While we aren't tanking, we are rebuilding. Shedding overpriced marginal talent or me first team second guys with poor attitudes makes sense to me.

And we are fortunate enough to have two or three! We're leading the league!

that's what she said..

Short people got no reason Short people got no reason Short people got no reason To live They got little hands And little eyes And they walk around Tellin' great big lies They got little noses And tiny little teeth They wear platform shoes On their nasty little feet Well, I don't want no short people Don't want no short people Don't want no short people Round here

Agreed - scheme is as much to blame as lack of talent. Both apply.

So your trying to say he is playing like the worst and is supposed to be our best.... I get it and agree. Next time try and say that.

It can't all just be the play of WRs and QB. There is a certain team in NY/NJ with great WRs and some would argue a much better QB than TT but who average about the same number of points per game and who still haven't won a game this year. The common denominator is that their line sucks too. Only our D and K account for our better record.

Huh? If Zay is the worst starter in the NFL and yet our best that means we have one or two starters that are what exactly?

Watkins was a part-time receiver, Goodwin too. Woods was about equal to what we have now. I like Matthews and Zay will get better. Clay was coming into his own with a big improvement from past. Losing him early really hurt. I hope Reilly gets a chance too. Holmes needs to simply go away.

OL needs to step it up in a big way. Win the match up with the guy across the line from them. With 8 in the box, the WRs have to be open on well designed routes. I don't think we have a very sound O philosophy/design or whatever. Even with marginal talent at WR/QB we should be able to move the chains provided the OL wins their match ups. If there are no personnel changes, TT needs to run the ball a lot more.

Bring back Manuel!

Maybe play Peterman and move TT to WR?

I agreed until you resurrected Kyle O....

Here we go! The drive!

need a stop here

talent is poor but playcalling is equally bad

score please!

200 yds total O isn't getting it done.

well it did for a bit - never mind..

Thanks! Works for me!

Cyrus Kouandjio is back on the market.

Poor Philly, if you can't play WR for the Bills, you can't play WR in the NFL.

I guess not must win, but feels huge!
