Doc Brown

I like how they handled it last year waiting until the third preseason game. The Steelers just had a good game plan and Daboll was too stubborn to go to the run earlier. I guess with a new OC they feel they need more than that. Just don’t get hurt please.

Knowing the browns they’ll sign Johnny Manziel.

Browns browning it up for an unnecessary press conference I see.

Yeah. We don't have to play him. Not everybody was going to be satisfied no matter what the punishment was. Five million seems low. Maybe both sides were in cahoots during settlement talks to draw interest for what would've been a relatively boring week 13 game.

This is some conspiracy theory bs. There was no deal with Publix in Florida any more than there was with Wallgreens or CVS. The wealthy had a higher vaccination rate than the poor in every state. Welcome to real life. These links read as a pathetic hit pieces but this is from the link you provided. But then a few weeks later, Governor Ron DeSantis, breaking from CDC guidelines, announced he would not vaccinate teachers and essential workers next but instead put "seniors first," making anyone 65 or over eligible for the vaccine. The first in the country to do that. DeSantis said seniors were at highest risk. So, Florida prioritized distribution by demographic and risk quicker than any other state. That was absolutely the right call given the data available at the time.

I don't disagree with that but even the bluest of states refrained from Draconian measures that you saw in Canada or Australia. As far as his post @BigBlitz implied that vaccines don't help prevent people from getting Covid and that DeSantis was the only politician who knew this the whole time. That's simply not true.

They do and saved a lot of lives last summer.

That's quite the self absorbed point of view. If the reason for the contract was "I think we should give this guy the most money ever for his position to screw over Beane" then it should be grounds for firing.

Um.........what?

We only have one consistent WR in his current role over the last few years in Diggs. Everybody else is a projection. We've never seen Davis with an extended workload as the true #2 WR. McKenzie's most catches was 30 in 2020 and has to prove it he can shoulder an increased workload in the slot. Crowder is too much of a wild card given he's been hobbled the last few years. Shakir and Hodgins flashed this camp/preseason but they haven't done jack squat in the regular season. They could both struggle once the real season begins. I can see a lot of scenarios (injuries, failing to live up to the hype) where an OBJ signing early in the season would be great insurance down the stretch. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger if he's still available after week 5 or so and we're confident he can come back from his ACL surgery. That's assuming he knows what he signed up for.

He was following Morris and was looking for the hole to open up to the right. Morris got rocked by the rushing LB and blew up the play. Moss made a nice cut back and showed some speed that was lacking last year. It was an impressive run given what he had to deal with.

You're banking on him punting it 70 plus yards every time as justification for not needing good/great gunners?

Players are immune from any punishment regarding tampering via the NFL's anti tampering policy.

Same as last year. Play the one’s the first quarter to half of the last preseason game to help knock the rust off and get in rhythm for the Rams game. You risk injury just getting out of bed in the morning. It’s part of life.

Shakir at this point is my best guess. He’s a shrimp but performed well against the Colts first string defense even if they were in a vanilla scheme. I expect him to play the exact role Davis did last year. I just wish we had better options.

Not really when you run a populist campaign. It was his main attraction. He held the presidency for four years before losing if that counts. I agree it’s crazy but people include the FBI as part of the “deep state.”

I think it’s an overreaction because Barkley’s so limited when it comes to arm strength and mobility. Keenum at least has average arm strength and a LOT more experience and success as a starter in this league. Also keep in mind that Keenum was playing most of their starters with our backups.

You underestimate Trump’s negatives. He never got more than 47% of the vote despite running against the two weakest dem candidates in my lifetime.

I don't like to overreact to one game especially when we have a large sample size of both of their NFL careers as starters at this point.

Seems to be a Rooties bleu cheese shortage. I can't find it anywhere.

No he won't. He's the Dems best chance to win in 2024.

I'd like to see Keenum behind the 1st team offensive line for a quarter or so. Maybe sit Dawkins and see what Quessenberry can do at left tackle. Other than that, play the same players as the first game. I don't want Allen, Diggs, Miller, etc... playing until September 8th.

Other's do pliable workouts, eat avocado ice cream, and thrive at the highest level at the age of 45. I wonder if Allen should embrace the TB12 method.

Yeah. You make a good point with Matakevich as it's significant savings if he's cut. For the cap gurus out there, can Beane rework his contract if he's willing to take a pay cut? If not then I wouldn't have a problem with the Bills cutting him as long as we keep Kumerow, Jones, and Neal.

You want to field the best 53 that help you win this year. That means continuing to have a strong Special Teams unit (and trusting them with a squib kick). Kumerow, Matekavich, Jones, and Neal are four core special teams players who usually fill in adequately in emergency situations at their respective positions (rash of injuries in a game). You should be able to stash guys like Blackshear, Hodges, Spector, and Lewis on the practice squad. They don't have to make that decision now as he won't count against the 53 man roster being on the reserved/suspended list.
