Holy *****! OMG, I have to ditch the wife.

Truth, and credit to Foster for doing what he could to contribute on ST. I think we will see Siran Neal take that gunner role as he has done that well before, but he plays with a kind of reckless abandon and has had a few shoulder injuries so we just need him to hold up. Borq is not contending with New Era winds so should be getting coached to punt and put more air under his punts tomorrow. Part of being a good NFL punter is understanding the conditions at different fields. Hoping we get the solid field-tilting Borq, not the shank it 20 yards Borq. We force the Texans to march the length of the field I think we get some turnovers. Getting stoked for *TODAY! Correction and panic after a ridiculously busy week.

This probably has more to do with Foster's poor play last week, others that McD feels can man the gunner role on ST, and Roberts having an "iffy" foot injury. For a few years in the system Foster still has a lot of work to do on his route running, but not gonna pile on and hope the kid can keep working and getting better. He should be doing everything he can to learn from Brown who has similar speed and build, but has great route polish, creates separation, and awareness of when he needs to make himself a target because Josh is scrambling. Got to play the guys who can play and contribute. Duke does not have that break away speed, but his routes are crisper, he can high-point the ball, and he will fight for them and yards. He can secure a more consistent role if brings his blocking and helps Josh feel confident throwing 50/50 balls his way.

I don't know if those problem owners/meddlers ever see their own contribution to team dysfunction. They are either the type that can delegate and accept expertise and leadership from those they hire, or they cannot. Jerrah down in Dallas and Snyder in Washington, and Haslam with the Browns are firmly in the second camp and come equipped with only forward-facing radar where their egos cannot accept their role in past failures and take the corrective action needed. They cannot stop meddling with team operations, and will always clash with any "strong leadership" they try to install to replicate what the Pegulas have done when they hired the leadership necessary and let them do what they needed to do to establish a winning culture in Buffalo; A culture where the team is rowing in the same direction from the top down.

I liked Sam too. Was a dude that did not mind going against the grain and giving the league the finger now and then, and you did not have to guess how he felt about a topic. RIP
