Any idea if the average drive start on kickoffs is significantly different from the 25?
Again, I"m not criticizing Roberts, I'm just not sure he provides enough value for a guy who is turning out to be a return specialist only?
I don't think you'll find that I've been pining for Duke. I simply think the return game is not good enough to take advantage of Roberts, and that they would be better off with having a big body WR on the 46 rather than a return specialist.
You'll note I said "return game." The Ravens took the ball all day at the 25, and the Bills would've been better off doing the same. Roberts has added nothing on O, and the return game isn't good enough to take advantage of his skills. They will definitely add someone next year who can be more flexible.
Something I've been thinking about and today confirms it for me. The Bill's return game isn't good enough to waste a spot dressing Roberts.
I believe they'd be better off dressing Duke.
Trent's contract makes that very likely next year.
2020 salary is $8,950,000
if released, his cap hit is $1,750,000
the difference of $7.2 mil can be used on Shaq or someone else...
Allen and the O's test started with Denver. Team D rankings by points allowed:
denver 9
dallas 8
baltimore 5
pittsburgh 6
new England 1
that's a gauntlet.
Saw a 4-round mock recently that had them going edge, WR, CB, WR, which seems like a good get to me.
Re-sign Shaq (release Trent) and Get a young edge rusher who can learn behind Jerry (Jerry's kid so to speak :).
I don't know about the comparison, but I think there is a marked difference in the offense, and maybe the team overall, since he told them to start playing fearless a few weeks back. I think he realized they needed to play a more aggressive style on O if they want to achieve their goal this year. It's working...
Much like the team itself. The only player in a top ten category statistically is Smoke (I guess you can include Tre with Ints too). This is a team that wins as a team. Just a joy to watch. I love the little things, like Smoke's pancake block on Josh's run.
