I had a similar thought based on Duke's KO returns. However, Jones is he's also a gunner, so Duke or someone else on the roster would need to show well at the position.

This one against the all-pro is even more impressive:

There was a lot of hype, interest and tweeting the first week or so. After that Red and Blue practice, I think everyone is ready for the next phase--preseason games.

Oh, I thought it was safety given some are concerned about how Poyer feels about it.

Gilliam effectively gives them a 4th and FB.

Brownie makes the point about the importance of adding Jones and Settle:

Phillips' has such a great personality, and his voice makes me think he has a post-NFL career as a DJ at a jazz station.

I almost included him but wanted to focus on the guys who will most likely play DT1. But you're absolutely right!

I’m very interested to see this group. I think Jones and Settle will be a big improvement over Star and Phillips, more Star than Harry.

Chris Brown was talking with Frazier yesterday on OBL about Bernard playing MLB and whether or not they try to change things up because of how physically different they are. Sounds like Bernard is learning both positions.

I doubt you'll find anyone to disagree with this. I am also hoping OJH adds another dimension to the O with 2 TE sets.

Well, he does have the requisite exclamation point in his title!!!!

One could say Knox broke out last year, especially considering all of the mouths to feed on that offense.

Awesome plan! What area is your house in? Hopefully walking distance to a few bars... Biking is a good recommendation. We do a bike-brewery ride several times per year in the fall--great time to ride. There are a lot of really good rides in the area, my favorite (outside of the brewery rides) is the ride along Niagara river up to North Tonawanda. Check for all of the festivals too. Here's a link to many, but not all. https://stepoutbuffalo.com/festivals/ (Chicken wing festival is first weekend in Sept.)

Thanks for that. Wondering if he's started a similar run against Belichick...hehehe...

This is such a poor comparison, focusing on yards only as if the team's offense and qb don't matter. In 2019, Crowder had more yards than Beasley and was the leading receiver on a team that was dead last in offensive ranking. In 2020, While Beasley had a career year on the #2 O with Diggs as the #1 WR, Crowder was once again the leading receiver on a team ranked dead last in O with no true #1 WR. Certainly his durability is questionable relative to Beasley, but statistically there is very little difference between the two.

My 7 as well. Has Hodgins ever made it out of camp healthy?

You're comparing very different Os and QBs with Crowder and Beasley over their past 3-4 years and assigning the "decline" to Crowder vs the Jets' O as a whole--they ranked at the bottom in 2 of the last 3 years. If anything, the stats suggest Crowder's stats will be even better playing with Allen and the Bills. While Davis was here, it's clear that he will upgrade the #2 position with Sanders gone. Davis and Diggs will be > Sanders and Diggs from last year. As for covid, having the vaccine does not prevent you from getting it, so that's not really a meaningful argument for this year... As I stated in (..) outside of the O-line, the O is better than last year, so I am not disagreeing with you there.

Yeah, that Beasley - Crowder comparison was definitely cherry picked using last year's numbers only. Crowder's career numbers are better than Beasley's. As for Sanders-Davis, they replaced a declining talent with a rising star. The (non O-line) offensive talent is better this year than last year, and the depth is improved.

If you read the linked article from the OP it's about PFF re-grading the 2018 draft. It starts out by saying they would've given it an A+ for Josh Allen alone. Since it's about re-grading that draft, of course you look at all players drafted, regardless of where they are now.

I don't if this shows for everyone, but there is a warning for the video about sensitive content. I wonder if it's directed at Pats' fans...? hehehe

A nice little Baldy Breakdown on Ryan Bates:

Yeah, they don't need big numbers with their rotation. I think they'll have at least 2 other DEs with 5-7 sacks, excluding Von (8-9), and maybe 3 DTs. They could be a lot like Minnesota last year, no one with double-digit sacks, but second in the league overall.

He's pretty emotional in this one..

Shakir, what a great dude. Like listening to him.
