He's the greatest player in the history of the sport. I don't see that changing when he retires.

Never. It's the best sport in the world by miles and miles.

Neither.

The guy is 36. He'd be insane to step away now. He's got another 30 years to go.

those sacks were all in garbage time.

Hodgins is exactly where he should be - a desperation down-depth chart guy for a fringe team. I like him, but there's really no scenario that would have amounted to meaningful snaps in Buffalo. He simply doesn't offer a skillset that would have provided long term value here. Same with Blackshear - especially while Moss was still on the roster.

I don't disagree Hill was deserving.

Adams had 1500 yards playing for the Raiders including 6 games where he had 4 or fewer catches. That's no small feat. I too think that second spot could have gone to a number of other qualified WRs, but he certainly was a massive producer.

The anti-Romo crowd is the worst. He's the best color guy in football and it's not even remotely close. That you'd rather listen to John Murphy call the most boring game possible is ridiculous.

like Any rookie there would be ups and downs. I imagine there would be mental mistakes, but his ferocious hitting, run defense, pass rush ability and coverage skills would likely compensate.

That's because we have extreme depth at DT, Had very good depth at S, and have no depth at MLB. If the plan was to replace Edmunds with Dodson, you'd be right, but that wouldn't be the plan.

If this is his "full" potential, It's not half as good as it needs to be.

It will absolutely help the team. He's an upgrade in every respect except size, and he does things Edmunds can't do. He's tailor-made fit for what we need to execute our defense. When you combine him with a HOF WR on the other side, their combined contribution should easily equal or eclipse the value of just more Edmunds. Watch him play.

There definitely wasn't the first game at all. Dodson filled in admirably. That said, the plan isn't to replace Edmunds with Dodson, it's to replace with with an equal and ideally superior player.

You also likely have Poyer coming off the books, which i don't like, but that covers half.. You can rework Taron johnson to get another 4-5. you release mckenzie and save 1.8. Void saffold and save 2. It's definitely doable.

It's easy. You replace Edmunds with a rookie instead of Gabe. They should cost around the same.

You do that with someone down the depth chart. You still need someone for the next year or two while that player gets up to speed. Hopkins on a 2-3 year deal would make total sense. However, his current cap hit is untenable. They're looking to trade him, because what they're really planning on doing is releasing him for the cap money.

Kuechly was also a generational football mind at LB.

Is Edmunds attending Roquan's youth LB camp?

I am. Miami has played us tough twice and beaten us once this year. They've also played us tough several times over the last few years despite not having the talent to win at the time. They have the playbook on defending Allen, and Allen hasn't been playing his best ball for the last 3/4 of this year. The only thing working in our favor is their injuries and their downward slide as a team over the 2nd half of the season. Still, I'm not taking it for granted and wouldn't be shocked to see it be a nail biter if Tua plays. I think they are one of the top 4 matchups against the Bills because the talent they have on offense can exploit our defense and they are effective at putting pressure on the QB. Maybe we blow them out of the building, but I'm not counting on it.

So if he doesn't get to pick his coach, he'll just start stacking up sexual assault claims like MUT cards?

This was the toughest possible week 1 matchup for us. We designed our team to play against KC and Miami designed their team to play against us. I hope we have a drastically different gameplan than what we've been using against them the last couple of years, and hopefully Josh/Dorsey take a deep look at how they disguise defenses to exploit his tendencies and uses that against them.

3 years 1.2M AAV - seems fair for a #4.
