Kolby Listenbee didn’t teach you anything John? For months you said he would make a difference and the guy never even made it on the field. Albeit for different reasons but speed by itself means nothing, it never did and it never will. That’s why a guy like Goodwin had potential when healthy, he could get off the line and get into his route. Kerley and Benjamin are the only proven guys and neither of them are speed demons. Heres to hoping one of the young guys continues to impress during TC and then into the season. 4.4/4.3 means nothing

Martavis Bryant....... Suspension Looming?
CommonCents replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I doubt the Steelers opened themselves to anything like that. The risk is why Oakland was able to get a first round talent for a third round pick, unfortunately it looks like they should have stayed away. -
Other people seem to think...https://www.si.com/nfl/2017/04/26/white-cornerbacks-jason-sehorn-kevin-kaesviharn-donny-lisowski That’s an example of how you rise above any perceived stereotypes instead of clinging onto them as you faulter. Again, it wasn’t simply a response to a question. Clay had comments about this same thing months before and talking it over with Taylor. “It’s always going to be twice as bad because of who I am - an African-American quarterback. Look across the league, man. We are held to a certain standard. We almost have to be perfect.” ”I wouldn’t say it’s just an African-American quarterback thing. It’s an African-American athlete thing or just an African American thing. And that’s not anything I just found out. It’s been that way since I was a kid.” Almost have to be perfect? Give me a break.

This isn’t Jackie Robinson. The Bills have had EJ, Thad, Jackson, Cardale all playing quarterback since Taylor was drafted into the league. It’s excuse making and shows a lack of maturity. He didn’t progress as a QB because of his limitations, not because of his skin color. Adam Thielen came from some bum D-2 school and worked his way from a gunner to a legit WR. I don’t think he spent much time saying damn “it’s hard doing this as a white guy” 64x2x10 know what the number equals? The rough number of black cornerbacks who have played since the last white corner. Know what Jason Seahorn had to say about that? Nothing. He wore sleeves every game because he didn’t want it to be about race. Think like a winner, stop making excuses.

He played the card and it’s everyone else’s fault. Awesome. When that type of excuse making is used by a grown man in a public setting it leads me to believe that isn’t the first time he has thought about it or discussed it. See Charles Clay’s comments from last summer. I’m not obsessed with it but I’m disappointed that a subpar QB who was fortunate enough to have an extended opportunity as a starter in the NFL thinks like that. He could have said...it’s harder playing quarterback when you can’t audible or read a defense. Everyone would have understood that.

Sad day. Tim Graham out at Buffalo News

Maybe he is joining forces with Breer at MMQB. -
I took Portugal at 22-1. Odds seemed about right.

Lamar Jackson Lining Up at Other Positions During Practice

WWLMD. on a serious note, a wrinkle like that could cause problems for defenses until they see it a time or two. -

What about Mike Glennon? -
Josh Allen to start getting some 1st team reps
CommonCents replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Boom! I was hoping the next step would come this week. -
What is it!? I don’t know who that woman is.

Any reasons why? AJ is basically an uknown, all we do know is that he was the last FA QB standing and got far less than the others. If you’re just basing it off of Peterman’s terrible performance why is Allen third? If they are determined to sit Allen I think it’s going to be a decent competition. I hope they simplify things for Allen and give him a fair chance at a job. I’d much rather watch him execute a run heavy offense and keep defenses honest with his arm than watch AJ or Peterman.
