TPS

Glad to see this. I saw a couple of plays in the game where he looked very good, but nice to see a complete analysis. Teller was a guy I came across in Virgil's TSW 3-round mock draft (the second one). I wanted to take him in R3 for the Vikings, but I was a little gun shy since it might've been too early. I think I posted his highlights in that thread. I was excited to see the Bills take him in R5. He hasn't disappointed.

Given how he was used in college, Daboll's offense seems to be a good fit too. I'm optimistic he will have a good year.

One of the "criticisms" of Jones coming out. Of the draft was that many of his record-breaking catches were short passes and bubble screens. Sounds like a perfect fit for Daboll's offense.

If you're interested, There are two separate threads on this topic which can be found on Page 2 of listed topics...

I think they will look hard at Cb as teams make their cuts.

I had similar hopes that maybe he'd become our Edelman. I do think it's a bit premature to write him off just yet. He really didn't have a senior season, and it will certainly take some time adjusting to the nfl speed. I'd wait for that last preseason game before writing his nfl obituary...

He seems to be peterman’s favorite target too.

What I got from last night was that both can run Daboll's offense relatively well, and that it may take 3 games before they make a decision. I'd like to see how both do on the road too, even though it's preseason.

yeah, I was thinking about the belief that they would be worse this year. My view is they won't be any worse--they were pretty good in run blocking but mediocre in pass blocking. Of course there is room for improvement. I think Daboll's scheme should help out too.

Yes, I think the concerns have been a bit overstated. The tackles are the same as last year; Groy will most likely start at center and has shown he is more than capable when he replaced an injured Wood; the RG is last year's starter at LG; and the LG previously started for 2 years. The depth is adequate too.

Yes, but I’m not worried about him yet. Now, if it continues...

For me, no concerns about the starting D, but big concerns about CB depth. Davis and White need to stay healthy...

Helped: Teller was a mauler out there. Hurt: anyone who played CB in the second half...ugh....

They got him for a bag of peanuts, and I'm sure he knows it's one strike and yer out...

Whoever starts of those two Thursday, I would guess the other gets the next start.

Same here, though I will reserve judgment until at least two preseason games.

I disagree on Reilly; I haven't seen much of Proehl yet, so I'll reserve judgment there.

I posted this in some other Washington thread, but his overall stats (except sacks) were better than Kyles when adjusted for snap counts. I'm sure you're opinion s based on what you observe, not the stats.

While I'm sure you're being facetious, Reilly fits the Pats WR type, so I would not be surprised to see that happen, if he doesn't make the team.

It would be interesting to see who the alternative was in each case? Regarding Allen, I think what most people suggest here, me included, is that he only starts if he is the clear cut winner in the preseason. If not, there IS value in having him watch and learn early in the season.

The projection is straightforward, and it's given all the time when comparing the US system to all other advanced countries with universal healthcare, ours is more expensive and does not insure all citizens. If someone is going to evaluate what it will cost, then you must compare it to the cost of what it will replace. While "funding" it would create a shocking (to some) increase in the government's budget, higher "taxes" would be offset by lower expenditures for businesses and households. For example, about 20% of corporations' total wage compensation goes to paying healthcare benefits. While they would pay higher taxes to fund Medicare for all, they would no longer need to pay those benefits. They would experience a net gain since the system's overall costs are lower.

Thanks, that was $3.5 trillion in 2017 in total healthcare spending in the US. The point, the Medicare for all proposal would reduce total US healthcare spending by almost $1 trillion/year relative to the current system over the next 10 years.

Maybe a little context? According to this article https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-healthcare-spending/u-s-healthcare-spending-to-climb-5-3-percent-in-2018-agency-idUSKCN1FY2ZD we spent about $3.5 trillion in 2017, which is expected to rise by 5.5%\year through 2026. That means we will spend over $40 trillion over the next 10 years compared to $32.6 trillion under the Medicare for all plan where everyone is insured. This is roughly a trillion per year cheaper...

Yes, and Holmes v Reilly is a perfect example. Also, No one seems to be factoring in a QB that sees and uses the entire field. Having smart, shifty guys who can find openings Is as valuable as speed sometimes... so im with John from “my hometown” on this one—we may be pleasantly surprised this season.

As I mentioned in the Allen thread earlier, the QB competition will be about consistency not flashy throws and plays, which is why I think ajm will win out (which I think is best for Allen's development too).
