Logic

He gets a ton of volume and scoring opportunities in a great rushing scheme. My contention is that a lot of the metrics which measure a running back's performance are not particularly impressive for him. I can respect the "disregard the analytics, use the eye test instead" argument to a point. Clearly the Rams felt he warranted a nice extension, and other players seem to like and respect him.

Ah yes, the old "if you don't like the guy I like, then you're a casual who doesn't watch the games" take. Classic. Have seen him plenty. Sticking with my statement. Y'all can stick with yours. Freedom of opinion is a wonderful thing.

I grew up in Rochester. As others have said, there are a bunch of suburbs that comprise the greater Rochester area. Many of them are quite beautiful. Almost no one is talking about the actual city or Rochester when they discuss "Rochester", but rather the collection of suburbs. Fairport, Penfield, Brighton, Pittsford, and if you like small towns and acreage, even Hilton and Hamlin are all nice places to live. Like Buffalo, Rochester has some of the nicest people you'll ever meet, a thriving food and beer culture, a love for sports, and some cool architecture and history. Like Buffalo (but to a slightly lesser extent), it also has long and sometimes harsh winters. Altogether, in my opinion, there's enough to do from a food, drink, culture, nature, people, architecture and sports perspective to make Rochester a nice place to live, particularly if you find the right township/neighborhood to live in. So long as the weather aspects don't bother you, it's got a lot going for it. Oh, and its proximity to day trips and weekend trips like the finger lakes, Canada, etc are also plusses!

Kyren Williams has poor efficiency metrics across the board, doesn't have breakaway speed, and isn't particularly effective in the passing game. The Rams also have Blake Corum and now Jarquez Hunter behind him. Color me confused as to why they remain so committed to Williams. He's mid. His production is largely volume-based and owes a lot to McVay's run schemes. As it relates to James Cook...I genuinely don't care one way or the other any more. If they wanna pay him, great. I wouldn't, but it's not my money. Onward.

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.
