Miami probably shouldn't have too many 1 PM or 4 PM games at home in the first 6 weeks of the season, tbh. Or conversely, the rules about sideline fans/shade could just be adjusted to prevent dangerous and unethical gamesmanship. I'm not aware of the Bills actively preventing visiting opponents from accessing vital heating equipment during extreme cold weather games. Why is Miami allowed to block medically vital sideline cooling equipment during extreme hot weather games? Because their sideline is shaded, they can then medically imperil their opponents? Crazy.

Finally, someone with eyes that see. Shavers vs Virgil (vs Shenault vs Hamler) for WR5 in 2025 lol. Draft WR and OL and RB in 2026 like an offensive mirror to 2025's defensive picks.

Agree for the most part with where you're both going here. Beane HAS in fact invested in receiving targets with Kincaid and Coleman in the draft and Samuel and now Palmer in FA. Problem is, the results haven't been immediate or impactful. Shakir was both drafted and re-signed, though, so that's another much more successful target acquired and developed. Beane is now taking at least one more season to let his coaches maximize the aforementioned investments, with maybe one more addition to the room at some point in 2025. With the way Royals and Horton fell, of course we're frustrated that we didn't get one. But I think it was maybe more egregious to miss out on adding at least one more WR each of the past two drafts. This 2025 draft was at least properly milked for its specific depth at DL and DB. In a way, Beane is mirroring top NFC teams more than his AFC counterparts, with his emphasis on stocking the trenches overall and the defense in particular. I was happy to see him triple up on DLs and DBs. Go ahead and just fix those pipelines in a draft really well suited to doing so.

What if the league's DCs caught up with McDaniel's offense faster than he (and his roster) have been able to evolve. What if Miami's defensive roster was absolutely gutted by poor management and brutal injury runs. Those things are somewhat outside McDaniel's responsibility. But also, eff him and his unethical owner and the Dolphins overall. They get what they deserve.

Oof.

BUT DID YOU INCLUDE THE PICKS SPENT ON DIGGS

Your explanation continues to evolve and become more convincing, if I'm being honest. I was initially arguing only a strict statistical rebuttal to your claim of "very average" athleticism. The published RAS is nearly a quartile above average. That's irrefutable. However, you continue to erode my faith in that metric for Hawes, and now I'm sad. Thanks.

Was totally kidding, but being way too subtle about it, apparently. You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Hey gang, been offline all day. What did I miss?

Go sign that first guy he hugs! If Jackson is 6'6" 260, then that truck is 6'8" 3 hunjy. Get 'er done, Beane.

Just don't get caught. Depends if his patient gets caught?

I mean, you're responding to a Chiefs fan, so...classic Chiefs Planet really

Problem with your conclusion is that size and strength very much are part of the athleticism equation in football. Being bigger and stronger in such a leverage-based contact sport IS necessarily better. So explosiveness at a larger size = athleticism (in part). He's not terribly fast, for sure. And I guess we don't about agility scores. But being big, strong, and explosive is a nice trifecta for a Y/F TE coming in to block and play teams (and run a few routes here and there).
