I'm really hoping that Brady can gameplan to get Hawes 1-2 targets a game against some of these lower grade teams! I would LOVEEEEE to be able to put that on tape so that DC's cant start cheating up on him, and we can really keep them guessing. I dont want it to just be a threat, would like to see them scheme some Play-action touches us up for the big fella. Plus hes busting his arse, and would appreciate the touches

Its a Catch22. I want him out there as soon as its not long term dangerous for his career... because we need him to get as much action as possible heading into playoffs... and at the same time, the longer he sits out, the less likely I see McD willing to trust him to get out there and play. Unfortunately! People forget hes still going to have to come in and really beat out Tre White in practice to get a chance to start. His ability to diagnose and process the field is whats most likely to keep him from winning that job in a short time frame. Realistically I think it would take several games where he really outperforms to get the vote of confidence from McD... in ~6weeks, its going to take a few weeks to win a starting job (if things go well).... and then McD is probably going to want to see him hold it over for atleast 2-3 games at minimum, to get playoff nod.... total spculation on my part, but my best educated guess. Accomplishing all that with 6 weeks of the season isnt impossible, but its a tight window really. IMO having drafted him and hoping he wins out should not be a deciding factor on if we want to bring in a Rasul type guy, or a FA, to try and fight for that 2nd CB job/next man up role. Its easy to think "were talking backup CB?!?" But with Benford's injury history, seeing that decide a playoff game last year, and Tre White's play so far, is frightening idea. Could you imagine a world where Tre is our #1, and then we don't even know who #2 is? Its not even just Benford, but Tre is (sadly) a walking injury... We are one bad break away from an undrafted MAAC player in his 2nd year, and a 5th rd rookie, being our starting CB's in the playoffs. I know injuries hurt every team, but the margin for this defense, and this teams SB run feels extra thin at CB position.

By pretty much every draft metric, Beane is a top 3 (absolutely top 5) GM in the draft. Its been posted here ad nauseum. I get it, we traded up for dude, and I wish he was playing like Walker right now, or Dexter Lawrence LOL... the reality is hes a rookie taking his lumps, in a defense with a ton of new moving parts, and a young DC. Lets give the kid a chance to develop! Theres an analytics post circulating on Twitter today showing he has the both 2nd highest pressure rate, as well as pressures among rookie DT's this season. Its early so, admittedly not the most meaningful stat..... but the flip side, is 4 games is not a meaningful sample size. Most of us dont see the All-22's, and even those that do dont know the assignments. What I do know is hes getting a chance to play a bunch and that can only help him. Adjusting to savvy veteran Centers/Guards who have been professionals for 3,5,10 years staying power in the NFL is a big jump. Lets see how hes looking over the next 8 weeks to get a more meaningful answer... but early stats seem to indicate hes doing well at the thing we expected him to come in and do well at early

IR guys cant attend meetings? I get why they do that, to avoid the sandbagging but that is f*** duuummmbbbbb. If their is a single rule that I hope we're gaming, its 100% that one LOL

Id think a run stuffing 1T would be the most realistic grab too, considering the position/role and trade comp we'd be willing to give up.

Fun reel! I know SJ State was/is high flying offense. He knows how to use his body, highpoints the ball with authority. Didn't see too much of him RAC, looked like he had good contact balance though in limited tape I saw. Is he a physical guy after the catch, or is that part of his game more getting off the line and at the catch? Kind of an interesting prospect but not sure who the candidate hed be to replace, since hed have to g2 the active roster (if PS Poach)? Probably Samuel? Much lower % chance at possibly replacing Shavers since theyre in a similar mold... but really can't see that happening. Side note: dude was Receivers triple crown king last year... and went undrafted? I get it, SJ State and all, but dudes obv pretty raw at the position and is just a pure athlete transitioning like that. Probably get dinged for being 26yrs old. Thanks for bringing this dude up, I enjoyed seeing that https://youtu.be/fHLGt7U-4F8

Did he contract AIDS? Was this our staff giving him the Epenesa make over? If not, did he inform the team? Its bizarre. Limited plays, but he looks slower, which doesn't make sense for dropping weight. Wtf happened here??? Buffalo blow isn't even any good, and i don't think hes that type of dude either

Hendrickson just signed a deal, was it a pay bump just for this season? Maybe we can interest them in some kind of combo of: draft pick(s?), Trubisky, Epenesa, Alec Anderson. Just riffing names/positions i think they could possibly have an interest in? Obv some of those names are more valuable than others, so the draft pick from us would be of a sliding value, depending.

This is the move to me, over Olave, if both are options. Bears SHOULD deal him, as theyre loaded at WR and desperately are going to need all the picks they can to build this offseason.... possibly (slim, but possible) even looking to move on from Caleb Williams since Ben "Difficult Personality" Johnson, isn't tied to him. Big problem with that is theyre technically only 1game back in division.... everyone and their mother knows they'll be a turd at bottom of trash can by end of season, but they might not know... or at least cant admit. Lions, packers, Vikings is a tough division and Bears need to show me the baby before I ever take them seriously

Yall live in Buffalo and cant pronounce Pollock names? Lol couldn't be me

If hes open he gets the rock lol thats what happens when you have a QB vs a RB lining up under center. We need someone on the outside who can get open consistently. Frankly IDGAF if hes happy. I want a ring. That's infinitely harder to do with no outside or vertical threat/ability. Can't wrap my head around this board thinking our offense will all the sudden suck if we throw in a guy that can get open on a first read lol

You can delete the bolded, and its still true. Adding the injury and n9 way do i trust him in the most important season. Ring out the rag of anything left in Prater, figure out the rest next year.

He excelling in the run game? He had problems in pass block all game. He whiffed while pulling on the dumb dumb 4th and 2 play call... that's all I remember. Would love to hear i missed a lot of good! I didnt have any complaints for a backup getting his first start of the year. Not shocked Kromer squeezing outta him whatever he has to offer. Our most important coach after Sean!! Trying to price himself back onto the team for 2026?! Who the hell would wanna miss new stadium opener!!!

It came across is incredibly toxic, like he was such a victim having to be there, with all the dysfunction. Hes the only person on earth to not realize problems have always followed him everywhere he is.

Genuinely looks like something where your leg would be in danger of being lost. Even if it heals right I see lifelong pain, and deformities seem like a real possibility. I could see something it turning into something that degrades to the point where it needs to be taken in the next 10-15 years and x surgeries trying to get it fixed. Crazy to think about but there are plenty of people who have gone through that, and the day they give up the limb is a relief for them.

LOL. I (thankfully) can not feel anything for a dude who abuses and breaks his own 3 yr old son's arm. ABSOLUTELY ONE OF THE MOST HEINOUS THINGS IMAGINABLE. The one dude in life you should be able to count on protecting you, is smashing your bones, as a toddler. Whatd he spill a drink? Thankfully Lady Karma took care of what the spineless NFL couldnt do

Id like to see us address K and/or P with our late round picks this year. Were a tough team to Crack as a bottom of the roster draft pick. If we can upgrade a majorly important position with essentially a draft flyer level pick, its a no brainer. Its mind boggling how their arent 32 awesome kickers rostered, and overflowing quantities on the shelves in Free Agency! There's 134 FBS teams, and its not uncommon of a kicker to play 15+ years! The math doesn't math to me

Because his quarterback is a running back lol I like the everybody eats thing, but its not a disqualifier from having a boundary receiver who can get you a play when you absolutely have to have it. Our WRs are a joke at this point. Just bite the bullet. How many times do we need to hand out garbage *** half-measure contracts to guys who are other teams cast offs. Josh is a force multiplier, its a felony to not use it

Whatever it takes TBH. All things in a vacuum, would Howie even consider moving him to a (cross conference) contender? This is why those of us in the WR camp find the lack of investment at the position so frustrating! Its nearly impossible to get one when you are a contender and especially without a rookie QB deal. WRs have had an uptrend in last 5+ years in being immediately productive, but its not a given. So realistically you have 2 identify one, spend decent draft capital, and develop for a year or two. "31 POINTS! 31 POINTS!!!" Don't want to hear it. We're laboring to move the ball if you watch amd aren't just hawking the box score. Josh will get us the most out of our investment at WR. Its delusional to think we aren't going to struggle on 3rd downs when we run into the Spagnolas/Fangios of the NFL! Do we need to be better on D? Yes! Have we shown to be capable of improving with even heavy resources sunk into it? No. Their is no requirement to win the SB with a top 10 defense *AND* offense. Stop doing what doesn't work, and give Josh some f'ing help. We need to stretch the field laterally and lengthwise. I feel like we could trade defenses I've rosters with Philly and somehow still not be able to use it, or develop it. If were going to use Josh to overcome our coaching and talent deficiencies (at positions), then there are no half measures

Eric Gentry quick highlights from this season! Dude is rangey https://x.com/NFL_DF/status/1971937669837127801

Our track record around the league has to be at the tippy top of retaining our own. That said, other guys on the team know this is cut throat business and we cant do it at 100% clip. Me thinks he gets one of these 5year deals pushing almost $90m. Players will be happy for him, and we have the best OL Coach in football. Get Kromer a raise, and a title upgrade like assistant HC. The reason you can let a guy like Torrence walk and next man up can go so smoothly is that dude!! Wouldn't be shocked if we see Torrence take a step back when he leaves. Not hoping for it, not saying he'll be trash... just hard to picture a guy leaving our system, downgrading the guys next to him, and him continuing to elevate his play

Keep feeding BeachChairs prospects!! If thats the case, let's hope he gets ABSURD guard money we've seen flying around. Gimme them comp picks!!!

GT is one of the most electric teams in the nation to watch!! Cupcake schedule hurts them this year, but they've got some nice W's. Haynes King is that duuuuude!!!

Icarus flew too close to the sun on this and I agree. Its too bad because its the most footbally football play in the league. Theyre going to regret it next year the way they handled this year. Giving away a 98% conversion play for a 99% rate. The real way to punish them would be cracking down on how its refd right at start of playoffs... leave them scrambling to go back to how it was before. I think they'll have a hard time defaulting back

Good point.... or it could be this was all he's allowed to put on tape knowing cameras are there? If theres truth to 'not allowed to stay on IR if fully healthy', and we certaily know the system gets abused to protect players from waivers.... im just saying. Could be roster management and wanting to pick the right time (like near bye week) to introduce him to lineup, while also being able to roster the extra man. Just a bit of devils advocate.
