If he has a breaks out this year, doesn't he become not cheap? As in some other team would offer him good money and we would have to match. As corners (including nickel corners) are hard to find I would expect him to get a decent offer, at least from Pettine and the Browns.

Didn't you make this same post like 5 months ago, in a thread about Incognito nonetheless. Sheeesh stop being so reasonable.

Considering how good he's looked the past couple of days, he'll be in the HOF if keeps up that rate of improvement. But really the guy is just inconsistent.

That would be frustrating to me as the GM. I've built this team for a particular coach and his style. He is terminated for any number of different reasons (beach chairs come to mind). Now I'm going to do a 180 and try to salvage what I built. But maybe you're referring to other situations in which the coach did not scheme for his players at all, or the GM is terminated as well.

Interesting stuff. I wonder how they did outside their garbage division? I feel as if we would lead the league in all defensive statistical categories if we played in the AFC south.

Eagles have a good DL. I think it was ranked ahead of ours in one of the terrible off season rankings posted on the forum.

Agreed. I've been in the Anyone But Cassel club for a while. Both have pros/cons, but I think the biggest similarity is their ability to run the ball out of the read option.

Thanks for clarifying your thoughts. I appreciate it.

I think long term the hope is to move Richardson there. Didn't Kyle get extended? I think he'll be back next year but I don't think (in order of likelihood IMO) McKelvin, Fred, and Wood will be back next year.

Great news on the Line. Thanks Astro

The bar on the side is funny. His pre-camp prediction had EJ at 50% and then on Aug 2 at 25%. I love that reporters (like this board) hit the panic button after 3 days. I'm going to hold off all predictions until at least the scrimmage, but I will continue to laugh at any wild fluctuations in predictions on a day to day basis. Welp now you've gone and jinxed it!!!

Rats. Thanks

Sounded like a good practice for the young QBs. I think EJ was probably the biggest surprise. It will be interesting to see what Astro's take is. Also I think a light day for McCoy (from what I read on twitter).

Most exciting thread in a month. Thank god. This defense was good last year when we just sat back and didn't blitz. If we can get away with 8 in the box, I don't know if theres much to stop us. Side note with all the confusion/chaos I would imagine the % of turnovers converted to TD's is higher. Did the '85 bears score a lot of TD's off of turnovers?

Interviewing no. But after I have been hired by my new company I have had no problem thrashing my old company. Particularly I enjoy pointing out the numerous examples of how my new employer is better than my old employer. Also my new employer seems to love me. I have been given additional responsibilities and am leading people who have been with the company longer (although I have more experience and better degrees). So I don't think Sammy's coaches or the FO have a problem with this. I don't have a problem with it (particularly because Fred has done it); as long as it doesn't interfere with his performance. I don't think this is bashing; also IIRC these comments have come out already too so not sure why the BFD now.

Question now seems to be if the Bills do anything (fire or bring him back before his court date of 12AUG2015). I imagine they wait at this point.

Agreed that Anderson has to be the plan if Kromer misses any time or is fired. Whomever is leading the line is probably the most important offensive position coach.

Over the cap is saying >$2.4 million saved by a post june 1st cut. Oddly it was only $755k savings for a pre june 1st cut. Not sure how accurate OTC is though http://overthecap.com/player/chris-williams/2179

Sorry, I don't think its a bad thought/question. Gun to my head I think he might get a 5th (probably over optimistic too). I just don't think he's shown enough to have too much value outside of Buffalo. Also since we are so short staffed we have added desire to retain him. Like I said though if we draft another OT and keep Glenn then he would most certainly be on the block. Crazy how quickly things can change, but this year I think he's here.

What position would you trade him for? We need OT's and he's cheap. If he plays better than last year and we draft a LT in the first round next year then we can discuss this. Otherwise I don't think hes going anywhere.

Sign him. We need OT help. We could start him at LT and move Glenn to RG. Sorry couldn't help myself.

I can understand that prediction if you assume he gets 300 carries (not unreasonable imo). I was being very conservative with the predictions I made above. Ambitiously D is #1, Shady is top 2, Sammy is top 7, and Clay is top 7.

I'm starting to get to the point where I am not just frustrated at Kromer's idiocy, but I am also frustrated at the leaking of information/handling of the matter. I think it has been >1 week since we first heard he was going to be fired. Then Vic reports the termination will be end of the week and now Joe B is reporting also a termination (although very short on any details). If the axe is above his head just let it fall; otherwise, put these rumors to bed. Have we heard anything from OBD besides he's on paid leave and we're working with NFL HQ. Either way I think his paid leave or employment ends this week.

I agree. As far as rankings at their fantasy positional group I expect it to be Defense (top 5) Shady (top 10) Sammy (top 15) Clay (top 20) Harvin, I expect to be available on the waiver wire if you like a matchup, but if you can't get him its probably better that he is sitting on someone's roster.

I can not disagree with this enough. I assume the counting game is how our QBs will live actually. If there are >7 in the box throw it. If there are =<7 in the box then run the ball. I think Roman averages >1 TE on the field per snap so thats >6 blockers on the field per snap. I don't think playing nickel against us will be very successful (except in obvious passing downs).
