I think you're forgetting that a lot of players use smelling salt before they even take a hit during a game They use it to hype up

They definitely give you a quick burst of energy synthetically to what fight or flight is It's why powerlifters use them before record-breaking lifts... My friend is in junior hockey coach in Canada in a very big league.. and he gives his kids smelling salts before sending them out the fight It obviously has some advantage Now it's been used in football for a long time

There's always a couple dudes on an NFL roster who have a decently strong leg Your best player in high school is typically a lot of times especially in a mid size/smaller school kicking and punting because they might be the best athlete I'm pretty sure guys like Micah Hyde also were kicking in high school

Hahaha no like more wrinkles... Maybe a couple of goal line plays where you chip and release with the Big fellas up front And then maybe I'd like to see a nice counter play out of it... Get Spencer Brown whipping around formation mauling A more nuanced play action game from it could be good

By definition I guess it's exotic because it's probably ran less than 15% of the time in the NFL.. It's not your typical look.. we ran it I think more than 25% because we were very effective I hope we add more to it next year.. I think we can get a couple big guy touchdowns on the goal line

I wouldn't even called an exotic look it's been around a long time cook does have great vision... The jumbo package allows him to use his patience and vision in very simple running schemes that he is comfortable in If you noticed he ran great to the right all year because Spencer Brown and when we put in Alec Anderson.. they were mauling people on the right side

As I said I'd be willing to give him 11 12 million dollars a year That's more than fair for what he does

The jumbo online package is more first and 10 , second and short and 3rd and 2 and less... They might take occasional shot plays out of it on second and short but it's not a third and long package It's not something they really bring out on 3rd and 11 when a defense is bringing a pressure package... When you typically need your running back to block or chip and Release

For a hundred years of football and still going into the future a third down running back has to block Even if it's 25, 35% of the time.. like modern defenses and pressure packages are way too set up well to not have running backs blocking You can put a package with six guys on the line of scrimmage like Sean McDermott does with his dual a gap.. and you can feign six rushers That literally makes you block the running back and guess what he has to pick up a 260 lb dude off the edge.. that happens every single week James Cook is a very talented pure runner he has other aspects of his game that keeps him off the field There's a reason why ty Johnson comes in majority of third downs and they take James Cook off the field... If James Cook was as good as he thinks like a legitimate top three or five running back They're not taking that guy off the field.. but in certain situations he's a liability to keeping Josh Allen healthy Objectively that's the truth he's a great runner with some holes in his game.. and he also not a runner on the level of an Adrian Peterson or Derrick Henry.. real pure thoroughbreds He's got better rushing numbers than Alvin kamara because he gets more totes but he's not Alvin kamara.. kamara is the only third down back in the league who doesn't need to block much because he's catching 90 passes a year Tom Brady won 3 super bowls with Kevin Faulk as a third down back who blocked really well for Brady and then would pop out of the backfield and catch balls... That's the next step for James Cook if he really wants to transcend Blocking is a massive part of a running backs game.. why James Cook wasn't getting on the field much as a rookie

He's barely better... Cook is a more talented pure runner Williams is more complete Williams is talented, a much better blocker and has a nose for the end zone too He's built bigger too This was literally the contract I've had in my mind for James Cook 3 years 33 million He also has been a really good goal line back for 2 years He's a much better blocker lol Williams is a stud at blocking , James Cook barely gets on the field on third down because he can't protect Josh

I like James but I'm literally giving him less every time he pulls something like this If I was prepared to offer him 13 million a year it just went down to 12 Every time he says business I'm probably going down another 1 million dollars because it's also business to the Buffalo Bills 195 lb running back playing behind a great offensive line next to the best quarterback in the world... He's talented, he's not anything close to a true Bell cow back he' drops some easy balls every year and he's not a great blocker... Like again if he wants to take 30 years 3 million.. awesome He's not Alvin kamara and he gets 12.5

Moore was in a role that he's not suited for getting force-fed the ball by bad quarterbacks .. his usage will go down his success rate will go up DK has played with Russell Wilson and a re-emerged Geno Smith.. and has had a season with 140 targets and barely a thousand yards Again I think he's good I don't think he's anywhere near the top 15... And there is a good separation between the top 10.. and the 25th ranked wide receiver If DK goes for a thousand yards on 110 targets... And next year the Bills get a thousand yards out of moore and Palmer on 125 targets it's a wash ... I absolutely can see 700-800 for Palmer and 300-400 moore... Curtis Samuel was 31-46 for 250 and moore is better I'm not saying Palmer is better than DK Metcalf.. I'm saying with Josh Allen and our offense we will get comparable stats out of those two guys for what DK does... DK is not even the type of wide receiver Josh Allen has thrived with most of his career... Josh has been at his best with the John Brown's the diggs , cole beasleys... Fast twitch route runners Spreading the field makes you harder to defend and we got a good defensive tackle also.. not to mention Josh Palmer beats man coverage with route running

Umm well Josh Palmer and Elijah Moore combined for more yards than DK last year.. so if the bills had DK and he went for 1,000 yards But we add Palmer and moore and Palmer goes for 800 and moore goes for 500... That's literally better than one wide receiver going for a thousand And we added a big dude who is a good d tackle Sorry I don't agree with you when you say nobody would take those three players for just DK Metcalf lol I would take Justin Jefferson over those three You are severely overrating DK who does not have a full route tree.. and he has had drop problems in his career If DK goes for 1,000 and these two guys go for over 1,000 that shows it's the right move.. DK goes for 1400 and our guys combined go for 800, it shows we were wrong But I'm pretty sure our two guys will have more than DK.. and we have shakir and Coleman and Knox and Kincaid in that perspective that's why I don't care about DK.. I did want more beef up front and hoecht and ogunjobi going to be good

Until you see hoecht and ogubjobi on the field and then you realize we have a beefed up front 4 collapsing pockets And that Palmer was severely underrated In January and February the Buffalo Bills need to be collapsing pockets to win the super bowl... The Chiefs had 0 points at halftime.. sure eagles offense is good... It's what they did to Patrick mahomes that we need to do to beat him We need to finally get to Patrick Technically those guys are thoroughbreds on a different realm than James Cook who's a 190 lb James Cook is a tremendous playmaker, he's not physically any of those guys.. he would die after a 350 touch season

DK Metcalf is good he's not a superstar He's probably between 20 and 25 for wide receivers in the NFL ... He's good he's not a star in my mind.. he's a 65 catch 950 to 1,000 yd guy.. that's nothing special in today's modern NFL I don't think he'll ever go for 1300 yards again which he did once.. I think his Peak now is probably 1100 but he's basically a 950 to 1,000 yard guy with a limited route tree It's the NFL, 30% of the league is undrafted free agents.. everybody down to the last player on a roster has a lot of talent I'll take three NFL players over one NFL player... We're not getting Justin Jefferson Palmer is about to go off this year and Elijah moore has a nice skill set and we needed bigger bodies on D I'll take our three over DK.. ogonjobi when he comes back is about to plug up our middle I'll take the three guys who are probably going to help our team in multiple ways next year Josh has two new weapons and we're going to have a new defensive tackle who's good in our rotation... I'll take that over one wide receiver

The only Hall of famer who was playing well for the Chiefs last year outside of Patrick mahomes was jones Travis Kelce is absolutely slowing down.. he's not going to beat you by himself anymore This is why as I'm always said it takes as much luck as skill... Because at the highest level the margin of error is a razor small The Chiefs are not head and shoulders better than us... it's been coin flips I've seen the Chiefs have plenty of bad plays in the playoffs.. the difference is bills were consistently seeing them down 2-3 starters on defense.. and the margin is razor thin in the playoffs When the Chiefs lost two players in the secondary Josh Allen looked unstoppable in that playoff game and made Gabe Davis look like Jerry Rice.. we lost to a coin flip... That's the difference... When the Chiefs lost two starters in the secondary they were a sieve... We have been down 2-3 starters consistently in the playoffs versus the Chiefs The Chiefs had some injuries.. but they happened week 7 of the regular season.. they had 12 weeks to adjust as professionals... The bills lose three guys 1 week before playing the Chiefs And then lose our starting corner during the game In the playoffs where the margin of error is so small that is the difference... Elam got picked on... If Christian Benford doesn't get hurt, bills not allowing 32 We have enough talent top to bottom one through 52 to win a super bowl.. our record The last 5 years and our points against all show that.. it takes as much luck as skill to win a super bowl which has not been on our side If we had Lady luck Norwood doesn't miss wide right.. we haven't had luck in big games for a long time.. not the roll of the bounce, not calls from the officials, or coin tosses Eli Manning needed some luck to win his super bowl.. helmet catch

Typically that's when it happens in season and players don't have enough recovery time to get 100% Taking 4-5-6weeks off right now gives him the ample recovery time to come back and not have it be resurfacing every week If he did this week 6 yeah It would linger the whole year because he probably never get it 100%

Happy birthday marv!

I actually know how your system works even if I don't know the difference between rugby Union and rugby league I understand that 8th tier is a county amateur League It doesn't negate the fact that he's an athletic specimen at his size who was able to dabble in a lot of things Including your fulham academy for football.. which is a category one you don't need to be necessarily a phenom at any sport to possess high class athleticism... Because besides football.. your football.. he's been basically a mercenary in sports trying to find whatever If a guy like that was born in America.. he would instantly be playing football as a lineman and that's what he'd be doing since he was 8... So who knows how that would have turned out

Sorry the Kansas City Chiefs had all year to rearrange their offense They lost rice like week eight.. and they traded for future Hall of famer lol We literally lost our best safety right before the game.. we literally lost our best corner during the game.. and we had six other defensive players really banged up going into the game Yes as someone who played college football going into a game severely banged up hampers you.. they're pros and they're going to try their hardest It's usually not going to go your way.. especially on the road... Even when we got them at home in the playoffs.. again in the week before it we were calling up 35-year-old AJ Klein to cover Travis Kelce... We've been without Tre White ... We've been without Matt Milano, Bernard...Like our best players So in the divisional game a few years ago in the wild shootout where Josh Allen looked unstoppable and so did davis... Because the Chiefs got banged up on the spot and that's hard to fix ... we are not seeing the Chiefs 7-10 days after being injury decimated.. we're getting them 10 weeks later which is a lot of time for a professional team to acclimate The Chiefs had 10 weeks to fix everything... The bills were scrambling to rehab six defensive players leading up to the game.. lost our best safety right before it, and our best corner during the game Having to go to a guy who gets perennially picked on every time he's on the field... That literally moves the needle... We lost by three.. yes with our pro bowl corner and our best safety if they played all 60 minutes I don't believe they're scoring 32 because those players are stopping a score Timing of injuries is everything.. I don't include people like von Miller who got hurt years ago in a week 9 game.. because we had months to adjust That would be like the Chiefs losing McDuffie in the first quarter, and Bolton their middle linebacker not even playing.. the bills are scoring at least another touchdown or 10 points... We were down 2 key starters In 2023 playoffs we were missing starters in Bernard and Benford, and a key player off the bench rapp, also didn't play... Again multiple players who are playing a good amount of snaps ... They were without nnandi their starting defensive tackle who plays next to Chris Jones 3 guys who log a lot of snaps on defense and special teams... It's harder to overcome than one... Again only lost by three.. u can give them nnandi, and we get bernard and Benford and it's not 27-24... Something tells me there's a different outcome But that's why it takes luck also... When the Chiefs lost two starters on defense vs us Davis looked like Jerry Rice lol... We lost to a coin flip because both teams were tired on defense As for your Panthers broncos super bowl.. the Panthers outgained the broncos 315 yards to 194 a super bowl record differential for losing team... And had 21 first downs to the broncos 11.. another super bowl record deferential for a losing team The Panthers had four turnovers.. that's the reason they lost the game not anything Peyton Manning did to their defense... The four turnovers which they scored 17 of their 24 points off of... The defense wasn't the problem

Spagnola goes into playoffs with relatively healthy defenses Sean McDermott has had gutted defenses for the majority of our playoff runs That's why it takes as much luck as skill to win a super bowl.. if we have Christian Benford and Taylor rapp fully healthy for four quarters we win .. we barely lost as is that's the difference... The Chiefs had three players on the injury report we had 12 eight on defense You can't overcome that when the margin of error is so small at the highest levels in the biggest games That's why it takes as much luck as skill to win a super bowl Nobody who works in the NFL would take Steve spagnola over Sean McDermott to run their defense for one game Spagnola has had some really really really really bad defenses.. hes also had an All pro pass rusher in Jones and the other guy coming off the edge karlaftis has more sacks than any defensive end we have.... An all pro corner who played in the playoffs... and a middle linebacker just as good as Bernard... Sean McDermott gets it done with practice squad linebackers like AJ Klein who was basically retired when we brought him up for the playoffs... And he's turned sixth round picks like Benford into studs.. undrafted guys like Levi Wallace into NFL players and 7th round picks like Dane Jackson... There's zero doubt in my mind that if you took McDermott and spagnola.. and you gave them access to all 32 teams to coach their defenses for one game... Sean McDermott would have the much better result across 32 teams Spagnola does need a lot of talent.. his defenses have never worked with average.. Sean McDermott turns average players into good football players Spagnola has a lot of bad defenses on his resume.. McDermott has three bottom 10 defenses spagnola has seven That shows what they do with less than ideal

That's one of the biggest over ratings that people tend to do here I'm not saying he's not very good he is But even sean McDermott Total defense wise is even on a higher tier... Which is why it's crazy people bash McDermott I could just break this down purely by numbers Steve spagnola has been a head coach or defensive coordinator for 16 years Sean McDermott has been a head coach or defensive coordinator for 16 years Spagnola YPG allowed - 5 top 10 defenses McDermott -8 spagnola PPG allowed - 7 top 10..5 bottom5 McDermott - 6 top 10, 1 bottom 5 Takeaways- spagnola - 4 top 10 McDermott - 14 top 10... 8 top 5 Rushing defense top 10- spagnola- 5 top 10 McDermott - 6 top 10 Passing defense yards per game- spagnola - 4 top 10 McDermott - 5 top ten Passing touchdowns allowed- spagnola - 6 top 10 McDermott - 8 top 10 Sean McDermott is on a world class level of creating a defense that forces turnovers year in and year out.. he's in Bill belichick territory with that.. generally turnovers fluctuate year to year... Not with a McDermott or Bill belichick defense The only difference is spagnola has had relatively very healthy defenses in January and February.. Sean McDermott has been playing third string linebackers, backup safeties and cornerbacks We had eight defensive players on the injury report going into our playoff game versus the Chiefs last year lol You can't overcome that in NFL playoff games where the margin of error is so small.. And we were still right there That's the difference... Sean McDermott is absolutely top to bottom a better developer of talent and has a very successful system when he has the players

+25000 lol

You're true but realistically there's not many men who have the athletic ability to go through three or four sports at a higher level than high School You act like even 8th tier rugby league wouldn't beat the s*** out of most regular Joe's lol Then you take the boxing and rowing That's a lot of functional athleticism... Most people aren't cut out for high school sports let alone being able to try three four or five at a adult level Do I think he'll probably ever amount to anything? No Is he absolutely an athletic specimen for his size, yes But I bet if this guy just showed up at your local rugby pitch he would still run roughshod on 98% of Joe's lol

I usually just drink like it's a regular season game It's always fun when your blitzkrieged at 11:00 a.m. for a preseason game I could probably even be persuaded to go through a couple tables
