  1. I saw him play. One of the best we ever had. One of the best all around football players ever. Could run,block, was a kicker, and would have bee an all pro LB if he had played in that side of the ball. A head case to be sure but a terrific player.

     

    One autograph day I was trying to wedge through the crowd around him to get him to sign and the bigger kids kept pushing me away. Cookie saw it, reached over and grabbed me and put me up on his shoulder. Never forget it.

  2. We have a backup RB averaging over 4.1 yards per carry and adding another 5.5 per reception. I get there is concern about what happens if McCoy goes down long term, and that his touches are limited, thus perhaps skewing his numbers and making them look more positive, but he can only prove his ability with the touches he gets, and so far, he has done that.

     

    I cannot see Hyde coming here and being happy with a backup role. Tolbert looks better than Gore.

     

    Overall, if we add anyone, I think we could find a place that would have a greater impact than backup RB. WR to start with.

    Good points. I could say the same about WR though. Every week guys that supposedly are so bad step up. Holmes today for example.

  3. Wrong it is a very true and correct way. You had Dareus on this team for his Sunk cost contract.

     

    You chose to fet rid of him causing still 10M plus to be assigned right now to No other DT. So essentially paying 10M for nada to help the Dt rotation.

     

    You sign a new DT to fill Dareus spot in the rotation you are assigning double digit cap hit to a lesser player.

     

    So just remember that people that say Dareus wasnt worth his cap hit

     

    No ****. So when his replacement is signed you now have that replacement as the vaule of his contract plus the dead money

    Your error is insisting a guy like Coleman would be a lesser player. If Dareus brought it every play he would be. But Dareus doesn't and that's why he's gone.

     

    And before you start with your stacking crap, Scott showed the last game the majority of the time he was single teamed.

  4. You are STILL Paying Darues. So whichever player you sign to replace Dareus his dead money counts as how much is spent on said player. That is SUNK COST

     

    So will the player that Bills sign to replace Darues be worth double digit cap hit this year?

     

    And a double digit cap hit next year as well??

    Yes they lose dead money to get rid of a dead player. But save some they can use on a live player.

  5. Here we go with the sunk cost. Now you are paying much less of a player over 10M in cap.

     

    So say they re-sign the cut again DT in Coleman now you are giving Coleman 12M against the cap this year and add the replacement next year to 14.5M and that is his real number

    Coleman getting 12 million? What are you talking about?

  6.  

    I didn't say mistreated.

     

    When he signed his contract, it was after a season in which he had 9 sacks and was a VISIBLE dominant force.

     

    That wasn't his role in Rex Ryan's defense, but that didn't mean he wasn't playing well. It was just less flashy.

     

    He endures two years of that ass hole and in comes McDermott. I like McDermott, but he's been a dick to Dareus since the day he got hired.

     

    Dareus continued to do what he was asked to do.

    Did he really? Come on now.

     

    And since when is a coach asking a player to live by rules he demands of all his players mean the coach is a dick?

     

    Maybe McNair is right. The inmates shouldn't run the asylum.

  7.  

     

    Indeed, some people are so blind that they are clueless and are quick to call others clueless while they attempt to justify a ridiculous trade.

     

    Thanks.

    You have visions of the pre-contract Dareus in your head. It's fine to say let him play for two years. But when you can't count on his motivation to play every game, at an exorbitant cost, it's a problem.

     

    He'll say all the right things inJville then notperform and/or get suspended. Watch.
