    To be clear where I think Watson would have a case is if he is traded now and then suddenly suspended with no material change of circumstance. I am not sure that Rog has sufficient leeway to do that. He'd have to be able to explain to a court why his decision changed from "not suspended" to "suspended" and I am not sure "well he might actually play now" is sufficient. That is where I think the league is vulnerable. They are banking on him staying in Houston all year and being happy to sit. 

    Theres plenty of pressure on HOU to not try this, for this reason im sure.  Im not sure how, but im sure there are some low key tricks to making HOU s life miserable if they attempted this

    The thing is adding DeShaun Watson solves so many problems for Miami.  He’ll be able to overcome a terrible OL by reading defenses, scrambling out of trouble, and making the throws to good skills players that no QB on their roster can.  He’ll also get the benefit of an opportunistic defense, which you’d think should play a little better knowing that they actually have a QB to put points on the board.   
     

    He probably doesn’t make Miami a Super Bowl contender but I can definitely them as a dangerous playoff team.  
     

    Of course, it’s unlikely to happen because of MassageGate but I can’t figure out why more Dolphins fans aren’t clamoring for this move  


    Houston is making it easy on the NFL.  He’s going to be inactive this season unless they trade him which seems like a long shot.  If Houston were to start him, he’d probably be placed on the exempt list 

    If HOU wants to ever trade him they should force the suspension now and "start him". What, you're going to sit him this year voluntarily, so that any inquiring team would inherit his potential suspension? They're killing their own potential haul here. 31 other teams would've managed this better

  3. Bradys been kinda cool lately. Less of a dbag when he's not under Bellis robot mode. The type of dude you might not mind having a beer with (or fermented cactus spritzer or w/e).

    Bellichek is like that jerk grampa you avoid at family functions. Ef that dude! I hope they get stomped 77-0 and Arians gives Brady the Greenlight to do it

    In the past, I have been opposed to buying Bitcoin, given my feeling that its value is based on nothing (i.e., not backed by precious metals).

     

    But I happened upon a Telegram community called @Amplified_Trades   When you get in touch, they will have you send some Bitcoin to them, and they will do their Binary Option thing and multiply your Bitcoin amount. It sounds like a scam, but I tried it and got a surprisingly large profit, so far.

     

    In 72 hours, my $770 input has grown to $3302. Actually, by their trading methods, they just increase the amount of BTC you have. I started with .0264 BTC, and now have .0775 BTC.

     

    If you have some money to play with, and an adventurous spirit, give it a try.

     

    I had been staying with XRP and XLM until this thing came along.

     

    I must tell you that investing in crypto hastened my divorce, but now I am my own boss. Your mileage may vary.

    EEEEKKKK sounds scary. Sounds real Ponzi ish.  Whats their angle on being able to do this?

    Agreed. The only annoyance is that the brothers arent in the same room for some reason and having to deal with the lag. Would be way better if they were together.

    didnt seem like an issue last night did it? i missed a little here and there and switched when lebron was on

    The article I read last week about Diggs being named captain, sounded like it meant alot to him, so think he's trying very hard to be a good leader and won't hear a word from him regarding number of catches.

     

    Funny too read an article off-season who said the Bills lost something going from Brown to Sanders.  Could understand if Brown had a big year last season, but basically he provided nothing as was out most of year.

    I think its been helpful that Josh has struggled a little.  If sharing the rock gets Josh firing on all cylinders the targets will come.  If the offense is playing like last year and the targets dont come, id be worried, but i dont envision that so moot point

    I generally like most Allen runs, called or scramble. They all present an opportunity to be demoralizing for the defense.

     

    I'd rather see him scramble because it usually works out better due to the situation. But I don't knock Daboll for calling designed runs. You have to use all weapons at your disposal. It's just another thing for the defense to prepare for. We hear it every week when the opposing coach talks about Allen being a tough load to handle.

    High risk/ low reward on the called josh runs.

     

    I understand it makes the defense think a little, but were good enough to win without it. 

     

    The rollout scrambles im all for.  Gets him away from the big uglies, and the sideline protects him, he can focus his attention to half the field, nobody sneaking up on him, plus he can avoid contact out of bounds.

    You don’t choose a QB by a program or not by a program.  You can find these guys in Delaware, Wyoming, and 100 other places.  It just depends.

    Normally I agree but Bama has a large sample size. I'm guessing their process gears these guys for short term success vs growth. That and the have 2 nfl pro bowl caliber receivers on the team most years, and the best OL. Just don't face the adversity needed to grow at the next level.

    Edmunds did lead the team in tackles vs WFT.  He has made 2 pro bowls.  But I know, he picks up tackles 10 yards down the field, he didn't deserve the two pro bowls.  Edmunds sucks...... did I get that right?

    Correct. Probowls are a joke, linebackers lead teams in tackles all the time without being good (see Poslusuvny, Paul). Idc about stats, watch the tape, he's in over his head in tackling and run support.

  10. I understand what Edmunds brings to the table in coverage and covering ground. I get that a long armed freak in the middle of our defense kills passing lanes in our scheme. I don't expect him to be Ray Lewis out there.... but it doesn't seem like much to ask him to be JUST average in tackling and run support. 

    If this piece is so important to this team, then Beane needs to be in talks to draft someone who can fill the role. I know, I know, big task to ask, especially picking late in rd1 going forward, but that's what we pay him to do. Stack the cupboards for McD. If Edmunds could be coached up to fill the role, we would've seen it by now. The guy keeps our d on the field when they've done their 10/11ths of their job.

    I did look that up earlier this year.  It is complicated but $ is important but also snap count % is factored.

    OTC had a pretty good article about it.

    https://overthecap.com/the-basics-and-methodology-of-projecting-the-nfls-compensatory-draft-picks/

     

    quote from article:

    Methodology

    App. V, §2 lays out the process of calculating the value of CFAs. §2(a) begins the calculation as follows to all players in the league

     

    Start with the Average Per Year (APY) of the contract signed.

    Subtract from the APY any money that the compensatory formula does not count3. 

    Rank these players by adjusted APY in descending order, and assign points to each player, equal to [number of leaguewide players]-[rank].

    Add anywhere from 25 to 100 points for players who played a percentage of snaps on offense or defense in the range of 25% to 100%. (Kickers and punters are given a different point addition unrelated to snap counts.)

    Add 20 or 5 points for postseason honors as determined by the AP’s All Pro list, and the PFWA’s All NFL/All Conference list.

    That was like reading a mortgage contract 🤣 Holy smokes, I'm just gunna keep to the estimate of $, snaps, and all pro if applicable. Thanks for digging that up though!

    I get that the Bills don't have a ton of skin in this particular question (other than a decent comp pick) but if you look at what Darnold is doing in Carolina and how the Bears are in the process of destroying Fields, I can see how a team could be very interested in Trubisky this offseason, especially if the Bills showcase him in a meaningless end of season game and he looks decent in said meaningless game.  Trubisky in Chicago looked a helluva lot better than Darnold did in NY.

    Would love to see some type of handshake agreement for sign and trade.  We did Mitch a solid here to an extent, maybe he can return it while still getting him to the team he wants.  Far fetched but Beane is a wizard
