    I'm not a Von apologist, I agree he's washed, but in a third of the snaps he had the same number of sacks and a butt load more QB pressures. It's more of an indictment of Epenesa. 

    The difference is Von was getting snaps in prime opportunities at the expense of Epenesa. AJ was playing on obvious rushing downs where Von wasn't.

  2. 24? Is he switching to safety?

    Man Von was worth every penny before the ACL injury. I think he played well last season despite playing limited snaps. He was better than Epenesa IMO

    Which one of these do you think was Epenesa?

    His salary is fixed by the rookie pay scale in the collective bargaining agreement, so it's not that.

     

    My understanding though, how much of that money is guaranteed money is negotiable. Maybe that is the sticking point. Or maybe he objects to some clause in the minutiae. My bet is on the guaranteed money.

    That's not it. It has NOTHING to do with him and everything to do with the Bengals. The Bengals are forcing him to sign a pre-nup that stipulates they can void his contract for a myriad of reasons, and non specific reasons deemed as being "in default" of his contract that no other rookie is subject to.

    The Bengals are 100% to blame here.

    Screw the players?  Have you seen some of the contracts the owners are handing out to guys who are big time?  And some not so much big time?

    You understand they're contractually obligated to do this via the CBA right?

    Players must earn 48% of the league revenue. And frankly I think that's too low.

    I get your point, and I've thought about that.

    But it's important to note that that was also a pretty unstoppable version of the Bills offense. The way Josh was playing that year...I'm not so sure the results against the Bengals would've been the same as they were the year after.

    That Bills defense was an absolute sieve though.

    Im and Okie and superbowls are played in warm weather and domes.  This tough guy,  cold weather BS is just that,BS.

    Well, clearly not because they're building a brand new stadium for billions of dollars and they explicitly chose NOT to have a dome. It's been done and dusted for years. Silly to keep whining about it at this point.

    When it opens people are gonna talk/complain about how steep it is......most people dont go to other stadiums and all the new ones are steep like this.  You can see it in some of the mages/movies.  A few people will need one less beer, LOL

    It's very steep. Reminds me of The Aud.

    I was just projecting that AJ's snap count may be lower this year if Jackson is as good as we all think he will be......he may even lose snaps to Hoecht when he comes back from suspension.

     

    I have Solomon's total low as well because he may be a healthy scratch most weeks unless there is an injury.

    I don't even think Solomon is on the Team after week 6. It wouldn't shock me if he doesn't even make it out of camp. He belongs on the PS.

    Darrick is a better player, Damar knows the system and has McD's trust.

    If that was true maybe he'd have more than 6 starts over the last 2 years. He was thrust into the starting lineup due to injury, played ok and was then benched as soon as there were better options. Hamlin isn't a world beater, but he's a legitimate fringe starter. I don't know why folks act like he sucks.

    What was the goal? That’s why it’s weirdo the Steelers were like, “we will take a CB upgrade and a TE upgrade in exchange for our 2nd best player (who is 27).” It’s weird. If you’re pushing your chips in, you deal draft picks. I don’t really understand it for Miami either. They were like, “we will trade our only outside CB and our only TE for a great safety.” It’s weird

    The goal is do their best to pretend like they have a championship team while they made the move for Rodgers. Fitzpatrick, while their best secondary player, has fallen off the last couple of years from impact plays, and safety isn't as valuable as corner, and adding Smith adds a potential weapon on offense where the cupboard is a bit bare.

    Ramsey and Fitzpatrick could wash out for them depending on what they do at S.

    It looks like Ross has the Fins teeing things up to start a major rebuild next off season.  It's looking like a bad season, a high draft position, and creation of cap room.  Their fans down here are increasingly apoplectic regarding this season.  I expect a Tyreek meltdown as he sees the writing on the wall.  There are some people down here that believe Tua will be shipped out next year in favor of a new guy on a rookie contract.  I'm not sure that anyone would take Tua and his contract but I could be wrong.  In any event, I glad that it's not the Bills dealing with any of this.

    If Tua became available, I think there would be a heavy market for him. He's a player you can win with. He probably can't win it all, but he's better than a lot that's out there.

    Mostly true. A deep-pocketed new owner might not blink at an $850 million penalty.

     

    It means that a significant number of Canadian fans don't want to risk a bad scene crossing the border. The 15-20% decline is verified.

     

    Keep in mind hockey isn't like football where games are once a week and usually played on Sunday. Hockey games happen on work nights. So you count on fans that live within 45 minutes to come out on a work night. If you're Canadian, do you want to risk getting hung up for hours, if not longer?

    It's a giant leap you're making between a small reduction in retail tourism, to ticketed events. Even if we use the 13% decline in regular crossing and attribute that directly to the 7-10% of ticket holders from Canada. We're still talking virtual no one. That's like 150 people. The bigger issue is attendance as a whole. Win, and the tickets will go to Canadians or Americans.

    The loss of Canadian fans makes the Sabres small market even smaller. They are not in a good place right now and for anyone wanting Terry to sell, be ready to say bye-bye to the Sabres. No one is spending a billion just to keep the team in Buffalo.

    Why is there a loss of Canadian fans?

    Could not possibly disagree more that the Sabres are going to leave. I'd put the odds at low single digits. They're one of the most historic non-original six teams in a great hockey market, who have recently hosted the draft, World Junior championships, etc. It doesn't matter what a prospective owner would want. It's up to the league, and the continent is out of viable hockey markets.
