TPS

I expect them to add a few OL in free agency, but I would also be happy if they landed one of the top 2 OTs at 9. The other alternative would be a pass-rusher, as they will need to find Jerry's successor.

You’ve been hammering this point since this site started, and you’re right. Currently they lack both talent and coaching, and I trust that will soon change given the firing.

Which is why it’s still important to stop the run. The top 5 run Ds are in the playoffs.

Great Defenses stop the run first and usually average under 100 ypg. The Bills were middle of the pack here at 115 ypg. I would be happy to see them go DT.

McD did a pretty good job of identifying talent in year 1, but the duo McBeane has been even better. McD 2017: 4 out of 6 draft picks are starters: Tre, Zay, Dawkins, and Milano. Croom was signed as an UDFA, and is (at worst) the #2 TE. McBeane 2018: 4 out of 8 draft picks are starters: Allen, Edmunds, Johnson, Teller, and a 5th, Phillips, is a key rotational D-lineman. UDFAs Foster and Wallace are starters. In just 2 years they have added 10 starters through the draft, with 2 others providing significant playing time. Really looking forward to what they can do with this year's 10 picks.

Happy to see McD pull the trigger here. I didn't think he had it in him, but he is going into year 3 which will be all about performance.

I think you forgot to put “im” in front of patience...

I don’t think McD will fire either one. ST actually looked good yesterday after being the cause of the previous Miami loss. The new guys thrown in there looked good. For O-line, I think Daboll will take more control of the process. I just can’t see McD letting Castillo go.

He had a Pretty good Day today to pad those stats...

Thanks, I also enjoyed his "we cannot be great without god" analysis/article too....

As Daboll has stated, they game plan each week based on the weaknesses of the opponent they face. The offense has to be multi-dimensional to stretch the field both vertically and horizontally, which requires all "types" of WRs, TEs, and RBs. Between Foster's deep threat and Allen's legs, I think the 15-20 yard midfield throws will be their bread and butter, and what matters there are guys who know how to find the soft spots in the zone. McKenzie and Zay should both work good there. They will definitely need another deep threat in addition to Foster, and it would certainly be great to have a young stud who is a multi-dimensional threat for Allen as well. I don't think they need to spend their R1 pick on finding him though...

Croom will have a breakout season in 2019.

Regarding the first post--your prediction, that is essentially what I predicted back in January based on the tax cuts. It's good to have a semi-independent Fed to have someone to blame a recession on. As I've stated before, cutting taxes near the peak of an expansion is an interesting experiment in this era of weak bargaining power of labor relative to increasingly concentrated industries. If you're not going to raise the minimum wage, then the only way for Trump to help (the majority of) his base is to push the Fed to let the expansion continue when unemployment is already at historical lows--it's the only other way to strengthen workers' wage-bargaining power. I'm not sure I've ever stated this in one place, but the two things I liked about Trump's so-called platform was his view on ME wars, and his views on trade. He may be an ####### of a human being, but I am happy to see him take on the war machine and those who use the argument of "free trade" to push policies that have helped decimate the working class.

Is this supposed to mean something?

My indicator that the end of the Housing bubble was nigh, as an investment, my late mother-in-law bought a Florida condo that hadn’t been built yet. It was early 2007...

Jerry might have been beat once, but I’m pretty sure I saw Love’s# and maybe Yarborough?

Makes me wonder what kind of topics we’ll get for Christmas...?

What are their respective O-line rankings?

Yes, and when there is an offense that scores them, then we'll win some games.

It's called sarcasm.

Yes, we need someone who can turn this unit into a top 5 D.

Funny stuff.

MSNBC is pure propaganda at this point and pro war.

Two plays change that game dramatically: foster finding the ball, and Croom's fumble.

Greenwood and Aaron Mate are two lefties I follow that are criticizing those on the left who are critical of the Syria decision. Reps Lieu and Khanna have supported it. That said, there are more who can't get past that it's Trump. frum and kristol are not heroes of the left.
