maybe Antoine Winfield or Nate Odomes can still suit up.

i agree, not always how it works though.

Samuels is going to be kept simply because its a terrible contract to let go of. imagine everybody but Brady wants him gone.

Shavers just made the team.

Vince Carter, mute.

only thing that Samuel has going for him at this point is Brady loves him.

sheesh, Samuel didnt make the trip. if he wasnt such a big dead money hit im betting theyd release him as fast as possible.

well, Hardy isnt long for this team

well, everybody can breath now. lol.

i had hears rumors of Drew Deadslow running once. i assumed it was an urban myth.

not even remotely the same thing.

i tend to agree with you.

if anybody thinks Vrabel wont push the grey areas of the NFL rules or outright ignore them youre naive. hes one of those guys who will do anything to win, right or wrong. total war types. him being mad about this is just him being upset that he couldnt hide it until it benefited him in some way shape or form.

wealthy people using the public to make themselves rich or not have to pay for the infrastructure to do the same. what a surprise. sucks, is what it is. its all about leverage. this "public" stadium, that is really going to out price the general public when it comes to tickets etc, is going to look real nice in 10 years when JA17 isnt playing anymore and we're back to being a place no free agent wants to come because we dont have a QB that can play. this is the issue i had with the taxpayers having to build this for Terry.

when it comes down to it the NFL is a bunch of old wealthy white guys who dont like their employees telling them what to do. Sanders wanted to do his own thing, well, that usually has consequences in the real world. do i believe the NFL colluded? sure, theyve been caught multiple times, zero reason to think otherwise. we all have to know our place in this world. you want to rock the boat, pick a fight with somebody bigger than you, you better know you can win. just how it is.

honestly surprised how fast Coop fell off the cliff. dont think either player was worth it last season.

its hard to say because you dont know what Jefferson would have done here if drafted. theres far too many variables to say one way or another. coaching matters, style of offense matters, playcalling matters. maybe he doesnt like Buffalo and dogs it, etc, etc, etc.

hard to say. too many moving parts in the NFL.

very true. sometimes things dont work out though.

if Gabe is brought back, its because nobody has shown they can block in the run game like Hollins did last season. Gabe did it before he chased his bag so i have zero issue with this with one caveat, if Gabe isnt physically able to do that dirty work anymore, then we dont need him. he will be cheap though if signed. people are assuming this is about catching passes. its not. its run blocking and special teams.

if you cant rush the passer, cant stop the run consistently, and cant cover, then i guess its time to make some changes on D. this isnt about preseason. its about being near the bottom in pass coverage the last couple of seasons. which coincides with the loss of Hyde and Poyer. this team just cant get both sides of the ball working at the same time. even back in the Kelly days one side of the ball rolled while the other struggled. you know how you make an average defense better? cheat. ask the Patriots. knowing what the other team is going to do with their plays is a huge advantage, one many teams exploit in this league. hell, Cowboys did it against the Bills back in the day. im not saying go out there and outright cheat. theres plenty of grey areas that teams will and do exploit. figure it out. knowing is half the battle. you cant be the "good" guys and hope to win. you have to make it happen. ive learned this from corporate Murica and our politicians btw.

imagine at some point we wont have to worry about Hamlin not playing well. Rapp will most likely take him out in a friendly fire hit with the rest of our defensive backfield. ive never been more convinced that this team isnt going anyplace before a season starts. the safeties are brutal. i want Po and Hyde from 4 years ago to show up ready to play. this team is going to waste a MVP/future HoF QB. the story will be sadder than Marino's. five years from now when Josh isnt MVP caliber anymore, the fans will look back and wonder why the defense wasnt better. why the front office didnt or couldnt go get that game wrecker that the D has always needed.

we were clearly spoiled with Po and Hyde.

im having one right now.

was last year as well.
