Snaps in a game are weighted more heavily than pre-season and even practice. Im sure theyre not loving something, but I agree. 6 weeks isnt enough. Heck we really only have like 6 weeks of healthy games to actually evaluate from. This board would've cut over half our rookie picks before season 2 started, including; Benford, Bernard, Keon, etc etc.... Guarantee it wouldnt take long looking to find 'cut Josh' takes 6 games into his career. LET ME BE CLEAR, CUTTING 3RD RD PICKS AFTER ONE YEAR IS SOMETHING HISTORICALLY BAD FRANCHISES LIKE THE JETS, BROWNS, CARDINALS DO. How many players have the Sabres rushed to give up on, only to see them leading their teams to Championships??? Just like the Sabres, we've had a development problem on the defensive side of the ball. If after this season some of the young talent we have isnt turning a corner; we need to SERIOUSLY figure out who the cause of it is. Should be a damn near drafting freeze on the defensive side of the ball until we do, imo. It all goes uphill to Sean, but there are other positions groups not having this problem. Fingers crossed that DL Coach from Jax helps right the ship!

Gotta Nair them badboizzz!!! Smooth as eggs

Hawes made him pretty expendable IMO. One can block & catch, the other def cant block and was brutal at catching the ball. Really freaking stoked to have LeeSmith2.0 (now includes hands & route running!!!)

Did Codrington get cut? I saw someone say in the 'dissappointing cuts' thread? Hoping they were confusing him with Shenault somehow? If it is true who the heck is our KR/PR?

Whoa i missed this! Whos our returner? Shenault got cut too didnt he?

Wow! Its come a long way. When theres no such thing as farm teams, in a billion $ market x 32, this makes so much sense to have!! Kinda feel like they should expand it!!! Maye an extra 5-10 spots for young guys with 4 years or less experience. If they want to keep teams from abusing the extra part of the roster, designate the extra 5-10 spots as "redshirt". Just a place for guys to latch on somewhere and develop. Plenty of players would love that, teams would too, and it'd be good for the sport overall IMO. We need more real talent in the NFL, and throwing away 99.5% of all college players surely isnt helping that. Will any franchise QB's develop outta that? Probably not, but OL talent for example, has been falling league wide for a while now. I fail to see a real downside unless the XFL/UFL thing ever materializes.

Interesting but they felt stacked enough to let him go AND trade theilen today... I thought that report was nuts but Minny gave them an offer they'd have been nuts to turn down, especially considering its 1 year rental. Id kick tires on renfrow though. Feels pretty redundant in that room for us though

He ain't leaving. Its been covered ad nauseum. Hes already committed to the high road by redshirting and NOT hitting the transfer portal; where he could've got a boatload of money and started last year. Hes not doing all that to take a short cut. Hes been mature enough to take a ton of advice from family on developing himself the right way. Hes started 2 college games, and saw 2-3 snaps in 2-3 other games. Hes not ready. Even if he can go #1 overall, it doesn't make for the best long term career decision. Get 2 years of college experience and adjust to that playspeed before going to the NFL.

Wait is Hairston on the 4 week IR??

For whatever the return is, id rather hold on and develop the guy. What drastically changed in 1 year since we deemed him worthy of a 3rd??? Nothing. He had a rough year, and was hurt. 12mos isn't enough of a look for a guy you drafted this high. Do we have *ANY* faith in our DL coaches that they can develop anyone? That's the bigger problem IMO!! There's no bonus points for giving up on a guy too early. For what we'd get in return: probably swapping a 7th & 6th, id rather try to sneak him on IR or the PS. That's a premium pick, you made the selection, giving up on a guy is stupid unless we found out he's smoking Crack or GHB'ing ladies drinks on Chippewa.

I dunno why people are acting like the sky is falling. He meets several needs from a backup. Cheap. Able to learn our system (knows it). System fit. Locker room leader. I dunno many teams with no dropoff for backup players, they aren't supposed to be world beaters. Our system seems to value smart players more than someone negligibly more athletic (again, backup pool were picking from). Jordan can hold down the fort in a game here or there better than anybody else we can pick up at this point. Its not earth shattering breaking news, we got a high floor backup... cool. Let's move on

We traded him for Skelton 🙃

The knock we've all seen is failure to keep his pads low. What keeps running through my mind is that back injury. Obv its healed, but wonder if theres a mental barrier thet guys returning off injury have. Acl guys tend to not want to do the explosive cuts they did pre-injury, without even realizing it from what I've heard... like they're continuing to protect it. Some extra reps with Larry O out early season could be exactly what the doctor ordered for his mental recovery. Just my 2cents

Where do you get these condensed? NFLN+ or whatever? I had it 2 years ago. Was never able to login the entire season amd had to file a dispute with my CC company lol Did they figure this out?

Bingo lol that was the one I was looking for 🤣🤣🤣 could not remember what that thread was about if it wasn't Stef
