Time to feed Beasley .

Mongo at center means the run game goes.

It should when you have six 1st round picks in the front 7.

At this point the Chiefs could win by runny the Waterboy offense the rest of the game.

I wouldn’t mind have an in his prime Nigerian Nightmare. Always wondered how good he would have been if he’d have played football before he was of legal drinking age.

Only thing I can come up with is that he hasn’t won a Super Bowl without Dick LeBeau and a defensive HOF player. 🤷‍♂️. Flipside is perpetually contending with Peyton Manning or Darth Hoodie & Brady. Roethlisberger has had a HOF career, but his prime was spent contending with arguably the two best AFC QBs of all time.... Hard to beat that as Tomlin had to out coach great coaches and superior QBs damn near every season he’s been in Yinzland.

I’m sure he got a negative grade on the Davis laser because he had a wide open TE on the play.

I got 48 degrees and a 50% chance of rain. 🤷‍♂️. See my stripper comment. It applies.

The Diggs trade was a rare win/win for both teams. We had a young QB that needed an experience #1 WR. Minnesota needed cap space and a young weapon to replace a guy that didn’t mesh with an expensive veteran QB. Both WRs are balling out. Let’s be honest here about Diggs’ contract..... It’s damn cheap for the performance level. Particularly when you at Hopkins post trade contract.

Figured I’d leave out the customer wearing sweatpants part.

Agree. Not having two starting LBers doesn’t help them there though. Particularly when it’s their two best LBers not named Watt. What’s the weather supposed to be Sunday? Not that forecast matters since WNY weather changes quicker than than a stripper after a lap dance.

Blitzed on that in my precoffee state. I could certainly see a Patricia hire at DC, although I think there might be better options. Honestly, I’m kind of curious if Daboll has a defensive scheme preference.

The issue with their defense is that they may be without both starting corners Sunday in addition to their 3rd string ILB, and Dupree being out. That’s a bad recipe of injuries for defending our offense, especially if Allen is feeling it.

The strength of our defense matches up with the strength of their offense, and McD/Frazier have proven that they can stick it to one dimensional offenses. Couple that with the key injuries they have on defense and you have a lot of the ingredients for a blow out. I expect a relatively tight game, but I can understand the trepidation of Steelers fans for this game.

I doubt Daboll will leave for a franchise with bad ownership. Add a pay raise and OC/Asst HC promotion, and Daboll will be in a position to bid his time and cherry pick opportunities for a few years. However, he’s going to leave at some point. When we look at his background it’s kind of obvious that he’ll be able to put together a solid staff. The guy’s got solid connections with staff from Saban, McD, Belichick, and Zimmer. That coupled with his experience will allow him to put together one hell of a resume.

D Johnson is starting to show that he’ll be in the league for a while. A few things that I’ve noticed about his improvement.... His playing speed has increased in both teams and DE. I think he’s finally comfortable and confident enough in the NFL to be aggressive. Johnson’s definitely gotten stronger, and that extra strength has allowed him to utilize his speed and length more effectively. The biggest change is that Johnson is now utilizing that power with counter moves. Notably he’s figured out how to transition from running the arc to a bull rush or rip when he gets a tackle off balance. I think we’re seeing those counter moves and hand fighting manifest in his ability to be effective on teams as well. It’s really encouraging to see the small school guy beginning to figure it all out as our starters age. At the very least with Johnson and Epenesa we know we have solid depth if not starters behind Hughes and Addison. It’s encouraging as the latter two are getting a little long in the tooth.

Go look at my first posts in this thread. I don’t think Beane will pay what Jones wants either. I’ve just been disagreeing with folks about the amount of money that Jones will likely get on the open market. Particularly the idea of getting Jones for $8MM-$9MM a year. GB usually extends guys they want and can keep before October of their final contract year. Now, he might very well sign with them or another contending team for that amount if the market is bad due to Covid and reduced salary caps..... but..... there’s always a sucker with money to burn on playmakers.

Except Jones doesn’t have a lot of miles. He has half the number carries that Bell had when he signed that Jets contract, and he’s not coming off a gap year. Of course Jones touch total is also about 1/3 the total workload of McCoy when we traded for, and extended him. It’s not an exact science. The one truth is that there’s almost always a few teams that will pay big money for game breaking offensive talent regardless of risk.

Otay. Did they overpay because he underperformed due to lack of talent, because the Jests Oline was historically bad, or because the Jests play caller is a functionally ######ed meth addict obsessed with floating tacos?

I’m a little confused. Bell got $13MM/yr from the Jets, and Covid aside contracts have gone up.

Absolutely not. I’m saying that if he was willing to take Drake money the Packers would have already extended him along with Clark and Bakhtiari. They always try to extend players early and talks with Jones stalled. Now they have a situation where they have to consider paying Jones or Lindsey over $10MM/yr.... Chances are they resign their center instead of Jones.

100%. If he could be signed for Kenyon Drake money he’d already have been resigned by GB. They already resigned Bakhtiari and Kenny Clark, and if pushed they’ll resign Corey Lindsey for $12MM before they ink Jones for that..... Center > runningback.

I assume he’s referring to some of the QB draws and sweeps they’ve run and possibly how Allen has a TD reception. It’s certainly there on tape, although not a fundamental part of Daboll’s scheme. Who knows though. Maybe Saleh found Allen’s inside running to be particularly impressive. 🤷‍♂️

I’d love him mixed in here, especially with Daboll finding new ways to use him. That said, I doubt GB let’s him go. I’m of the opinion that Dillon was picked to replace Williams (also 2021 UFA), and they plan on pairing him with Jones. Of course the reduced cap could interrupt that. Particularly since GB seems to have gone back to prioritizing their Oline since replacing Thompson. I hope Beane continues to upgrade our Oline as well. Every skill position looks better with a top Oline.
