Logic

Both correct. I said here before: His late round draft pedigree, jersey number, low key demeanor, and even his name...all lead to his being low profile. He also doesn't make a lot of splashy plays, but that's because he doesn't get thrown at much. As another poster said, he's what people think Sauce Gardner is. But he doesn't have a cool nickname or a single digit jersey number and he wasn't drafted high, so people don't know about him. He's legitimately one of the top 10 cornerbacks in the NFL, and if you went and asked 100 casual NFL fans about him, a large number wouldn't even know who he is.

Really? I've been reading nothing but positive reports about Tre making plays all camp long. Not getting beat often, blanketing receivers at times, making plays on the ball. Tre's quality play has been a pretty big camp story.

Thanks. Appreciated. Here's hoping the scuttlebutt around camp is correct.

Are you genuinely arguing that NFL teams should not draft corners in the first round because of the risk of ACL injury? If so....then I'm speechless. I am without speech.

If you actually know more (i.e. "word around campus"), please explain.

Yes because we all know that WRs are immune to ACL tears.

Right, but by the same token, most players are not the same their first year back from an ACL tear. Especially when we're talking about a guy whose calling card is his speed/twitch. It's possible -- not certain, but possible -- that we're looking at Hairston not contributing in a major, high level way until year three of his rookie contract.

Surprised he was as big a bust as he was. I doubt he ever catches on with a team long enough to play meaningful snaps again. Tough business.

This is excellent satire. Fit for The Onion. So well done that people thought you were serious. Respect.

Apparently it's "just" a toe injury. The Jets are "hopeful that Fields will be ready for week 1".

Man...every time I see your username I just remember how much I hated that "Low positive" season. The vibes were so funky and muted. Everyone seemed low key miserable, or at least flat and un-emotive. As soon as the OC change happened and then a certain someone was shipped out of town, the happy vibes returned. Our smiling, jovial, golden retriever QB returned. Josh is at his best when he's having fun. Thank god that "low positive" stuff is in the past.

A cultural mega-star in the 80s and early 90s. There probably never has been or ever will be a bigger pro wrestler than the Hulkster. Then later in life, there was some more complicated and less flattering stuff with him. In any case....certainly a legend. RIP.

I don't think so. As I understand it, ESPN plans to roll out a premium app for $29.99 per month, which is where Red Zone would likely land.

It's weird to me that the NFL would even sell their media wing to an outside entity. Like...what? For a league that wants to be able to have control over presenting itself a certain way, isn't a "state-run" media outlet essential? Confusing.

If one of either Coleman or Kincaid break out this year, it will be a big boost for the offense. If BOTH of them break out this year....look out. Coleman, Shakir, and Kincaid could reasonably by the focal points of the passing game for the next five years, provided the youngsters take a step forward.

To be fair, Bishop also isn't a rookie. Despite his injuries, they saw him play a fair bit last year. And the last time the Bills took the field in an NFL game, Bishop was one of the starters at safety.

It's day one. I'm not the least bit surprised that McDermott and co are giving the trusted and tenured veteran the starters' reps early and making Hairston earn it. It would be downright bizarre to me if Hairston automatically got inserted with the 1s to start camp.

I saw the sentiment expressed on social media in response to these lists that players' draft pedigree follows them into the league, and their pre-draft scouting reports do, too. That is, the people that vote on these lists are the same people scouting rookies and drafting players, and they often tend to stick to their priors. So, for instance, hypothetically: if they see a 1st round corner playing very well and a 7th round corner playing just as well, they're far more likely to give the 1st round player accolades, due to pre-existing bias, "take lock", name recognition, and draft pedigree. I'll also say this: Christian Benford tends to be pretty invisible as a corner. Invisible in a GOOD way, mind you. He doesn't make a ton of game changing plays or highlight reel interceptions. He also doesn't get thrown at a ton, because he's so good at what he does. He also wears #47, and yes, I think silly optics things like that matter. Sauce Gardner is another guy who is pretty invisible as a corner and doesn't have a ton of game changing plays or highlight reel interceptions, but he was drafted high, his name is "Sauce", and he wears number 1. What I'm saying is: Benford's draft slot, lack of visible and game changing plays, and even his odd jersey number all contribute, in my mind, to his lack of national recognition. I think he's going to need to make some big plays in visible moments more often if he ever wants to gain more national prominence. Even then, he's not likely to get as much shine on these type of lists as 1st round corners.

It's entirely possible. Von had one more sack than Bosa last year in one less game played. Bosa hasn't had more than 10 sacks since 2021, and hasn't had more than 11 since 2019. Yes, health has been a big factor, but...well...it can't just be discounted. The best ability is availability. Not sure what Von's asking price is/was, but if he signed for significantly less than what Bosa did, then it's fair to ask if the Bills made a smart move going from Miller to Bosa.

Good signing for them. All static and bluster aside, he's still a useful and productive player, health permitting. Top 15 in pass rush win rate last year and collected six sacks, despite missing four games. He's still got some juice.
