  1. Yes he looks slow, labored, and like, well... He's rehabbing. When you got guys playing at a level that Greg, AJ, and Floyd have been, it's hard to justify putting von out there on meaningful snaps. I actually think this is like a pre-achilles Tre situation, where von is likely to not be good, let alone great, until next year. Difference is we have other impact players at Vons position, but didn't at Tre's, so he got lots of leash. And I'm pretty sure tomorrow is Von's 87th birthday, so there's that. I'm not there yet, but I'm not ready to write off that direction. I think if you do that, you are also making other moves (letting poyer, Hyde, Tre go) and having a dead cap year and a youth movement. And some new coaching, be it just OC or otherwise. Basically it would be moving on from this SB "window", and starting to chip away at the painted jams on the next window. This is basically the way I thought about last year. Time to call it with this group and shake it up. And maybe gain some mental toughness, since that is this team's tragic flaw. Wimpy, defeatist mindsets.
  2. This. When there is no attention on him, he feasts. But when they are paying attention, he's not open because he doesn't have the whole route tree; and when you really need it, he drops the ball (in every literal and figurative sense). Hands is probably the biggest problem for him though. I think of a great #2 as a guy who may be physically limited enough to keep him from being a #1, but understands the game enough to be in the right place, and to CATCH the ball when it matters. Hines ward. Cole Beasley. wes welker. Julian Edelman. Some examples that fit that mold of not physically gifted but gamers when it matters. And the prototype at WR2. Not sure how much $.02 is worth these days with inflation, but there's mine
  3. Donkey Kong still have any juice left? Wonder what a horrible harry reunion would cost in a trade?
  4. It is no doubt a frustrating situation, NFL not caring about product or safety to make money, but it's not new. I figure they want to move the Jags to London, so giving them advantage to look good and gain fans over there makes sense if they want to get to that end But you can't just be mad at the league. Our offense did nothing. They were tired. Boohoo. The real thing to get mad about is how mentally weak this team is. It showed last year and it's rearing it's ugly head again this year. When they face adversity they pack it in and give up. All it took this time was jet lag. Yeah, that's all it takes to rattle this team.
  5. How do you know? He signed here. It's not impossible to think he saw Bernards emergence and realized he doesn't have a chance to start, so he retired. I certainly don't know, but there is precedent for players unretiring when a team suddenly has a void at their position. It's not like he retired years ago, it was this camp and it's week 5
  6. McDermotts defense is amazing when it has great players running it. But the zones get softer and softer the more backups are playing. Not really an excuse, gotta go more aggressive in those situations. But the offense is the identity of the team and needs to score more.
  7. Great to see him making impact plays regularly. He's been invisible until this year.
  8. How so? May be time for dude to come back right about now.
  9. Idk. Milano in a cast. Hard to imagine him making a meaningful comeback unless the cast was precautionary But I'm no doc🤷🏻‍♂️
  10. Wow just making up rules now? He was not down making the catch, he was going to the ground. And when you are going to the ground, you have to survive the ground. But you know, they put us here as a HOME game against a team who has been there for 10 days and will probably move to Europe in a few years. So the league isn't really concerned about fairness or player safety, just profit from overseas.
  11. I think Tua would have been pretty good last week if we had Rousseau, white, Bedford, and Milano out. Its like preseason out there with all the backups.
  12. Yeah. Not enough WR. That was Miami's problem🤷🏻‍♂️ Isn't that, like... The strength of their team?
  13. "Everyone in the locker room knows who the bad guy is and it's Josh Allen" -Steven A 🤣
  14. Well the league has been wanting a new owner for the Phins. And here he is!
  15. Just another stat that proves it's almost criminal to have no hardware at this point. But continue at this pace and it will come.
  16. Haha Kyle is so enthusiastic. Dawson is a beast after the catch. It's not quite "I saw a tiger and the tiger saw man" from Bengals 2 years ago but he did brutalize Holland on this one.
  17. It's Just Another Game But it's across the pond in the land of no dentists. Jags have been chilling over there waiting for us. Neutral field. I think we still get it done!
  18. I'm no capologist but Josh has his big deal and Tua doesn't. Once they sign Tua to his long termer.... That will change the makeup of this debate. As it stands (sans Tua) the bills seem to be in a marginally better cap position, but Tua is the x factor. And he's injury prone so I'm interested to see how it plays out if Tua misses sig time like he has the last 2 years.
  19. I hope what Romo and Nantz were talking about yesterday was true and Josh's new mantra is "boring football" If he does continue to read progressions differently (as they mentioned short-to-long as opposed to long first) and focus on comp% he will be unstoppable. It's not like Tua that needs an unbelievably talented skill player stable and all the McDaniel flashing lights, smoke and mirrors, and tricks. ALL Josh needs to do is calm down and not try to win the game on one play. The Good thing is Josh reverts to hero Josh *mostly* when he's playing a team he thinks we should be blowing out but aren't. Just like week one, when buf was up on the scoreboard he knew he could effectively end the game with a long td and forced it so hard that it did the opposite. The last 3 weeks looked like 2020 Josh and that's a very good thing.
  20. If the PA or league care about players AT ALL they wl mandate grass. It's downright negligent at this point.
  21. 37-34 Bills in a thriller
  22. With the exception of last year, Josh always "gets up" for the phins game. I expect no difference this time. I don't know who is going to win but I can be sure of a few things: 1. Fins ain't puttin up 70 again 2. We're not losing by 50 3. These QBs won't be sitting down with backups playing at the end of the game (unless Tua gets concussed)
  23. Core competency. I talk about it with my staff all the time. It's great to excell and move into a new position, but we can't forget or leave behind our core competency. I own 3 restaurants and am currently building out a 4th... And I still cook every day. As good as I like to think I am in business, my core competency is cooking and managing a kitchen and I'm the most value to my own business when I do that. It also gets you respect from staff (or players in Sean's case) when they see you leading from the front. I have been very lucky to maintain an amazing staff but you can't hold on to people if they don't respect you or believe in your justification of authority. Sean is doing what he's best at, which also makes him a better HC and I'm sure the players feel he is more "in it" with them as opposed to them being "in it" for him. My $.02 anyway...
  24. It's true. And it's good for Sean to "dance with the one who brung him". Core competency. It's everything. He's a decent head coach/locker room guy in general, but it's nice to see him get back to what he does best. And quite frankly it might make him look like alot better of a HC too.
