I think Epenesa will have to be moved inside on passing downs to maximize his potential in a 43.

I’m not sure that they’d move up to 12, but I could see 15-16

Yup. Bad year for Cook. He missed all the offseason workouts, OTAs, etc due to foot surgery, and then missed 6 games with a high ankle sprain. Although, come playoff time when Cook was healthy again he and Rodgers hooked up for 18 receptions, 228 yards, and 2 TDs. Wilson is certainly better than Rodgers at this point, and the hawks have more playmakers on offense. GB has a better Oline. GB has serious issues stopping the run though. Whether the Seahawks are better as a point of fact is debatable since GB has won four of their last five head to head. I’d say it’s a wash though since the home team has won that contest for the past decade: every game since 08’! We will see what happens the next time they play. It’s usually fun to watch. I could live with it. Problem is that he plays dinged up all the time and it affects his performances, especially against speed rushers.

I honestly haven’t really focused on him at all. None of the 1-3 round safety prospects actually. I figured that’s be something they dip their toe in next year. Now... bigger CBs that might be converted to safety if they can’t make it outside; I’ve looked at these guys. Lol. Hence my Bryce Hall mention

Yup. I’d be happier than a pig in slop if we came out of the second round with Mims, weaver/Uche, and idk Bryce Hall.

If all the top players are gone and the only value is at a position we have depth in I’d rather see a trade back to get extra 2nd and 3rd round picks. Say... trading our first to the colts for 34 and 44.

Nice knowing that Tim Tebow is skewing the average accuracy.

I’m still trying to figure out why people keep saying this? Seriously confused because it’s not like he’s ever caught more than 15 passes in a year. I honestly don’t care that his hands aren’t a known commodity.... I just want to know where the Dillon has decent hands narrative comes from without enough tape to back it up, because to me it’s kind of similar to saying John Brown’s a good QB because of his QB rating. ?‍♂️

I’m of the opinion that we need a second guy with versatility so the substitution doesn’t reveal playcalling tendencies. Speed, power, etc are secondary to that for me.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t GB beat the Seahawks in the playoffs this year? We can call Rodgers vs Wilson a wash, but I think most will acknowledge that Wilson has surpassed Rodgers at this point of their careers. As for signing Hooper, Rodgers has force fed top TE talent when he has one, and will be a first ballot HOFer. Lambeau may be a winter wasteland, but with Rodgers and their last three decades of playoff history it probably looks like a winter wonderland to pass catching FAs. What JA and Daboll do with a top TE is an unknown to these guys, so it’s about money. If it’s just about maximizing cash to Hooper there is probably a better option available for the Bills. Get guys who want to join “the family” and let other teams sign the guys who are about cash, partying, etc. JMO

Cook missed OTAs etc due to foot surgery and then missed 6 games due to a high ankle sprain. His stats for that season are low because of that. Look at his playoff performances that year after he regained his health... Rodgers fed Cook the ball. Aside from Cook and Jermichael Finley most of their TEs have been older retreads and late rounders. Graham’s first year in GB was similar to his last in Seattle. He dropped off this season; stopped getting as much separation and started losing jump balls. Not worth the money ($11.6MM cap) anymore. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/CookJa02/gamelog/post/ https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GrahJi00.htm Now, Rodgers dropping off along with a system change is also a conversation that can be had. That certainly plays into all of this.

Makes sense. Graham has been ineffective there, and they can cut him without consequences. Basically just give Hooper Grahams money.

Agree with most of this. Anything in the 4.2-4.3 range is fine. It’s backed by tape. Reagor plays up to competition. I expected more because he was grouped with Ruggs. That said, he also played down to competition and got lackadaisical at times. That coupled with his effort at blocking means there are effort questions. I’m great. I’ve been managing for years. Switched years ago from boxing and karate to tai chi and aikido. Quit driving fast and switched to a pickup.... Kids, etc change a man.

A majority. Nose aside, most of the punishment was from high speed wrecks and football.

Consider yourself lucky my man. I wasn’t even gonna open the concussion can of worms. That’s just par for the course with accidents and the fight game. ?. Six nose breaks, one tooth knocked out, three meire cracks and a root canal, cracked jaw.... I though we were keeping this to things that affected speed? ?‍♂️?

Man. I can’t run for crap anymore. I have more metal in me than the $6 Million Dollar man (ankle, wrist, arm, collar bone, etc) and a rebuilt knee (meniscus & ACL) on top of that. Contact sports and racing are a rough blend. Still have quick hands and great balance though.... Quick feet left the arena about a decade ago. ?

I’m sure he just learned a 6-7 figure lesson today. ?

There was a quote floating around about him chugging water for the weigh in too. As someone who used to fight I can verify that messing around with hydration can screw you too.

Having been born and raised in WNY I can pretty astutely affirm that 2’ of snow in November can happen. Perhaps you remember this?????? https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/sports/sportsnow/la-sp-sn-bills-jets-game-relocated-20141120-story.html%3f_amp=true

That’s what gets me about Reagors 4.47/4.5. The film shows him accelerating immediately and suddenly off jump cuts and lateral spin moves. The short speed is on tape in game as is long speed. I think you may have been right earlier in the thread about that extra ten pounds. ?‍♂️. Reagors track specialty was long jump and the explosiveness definitely showed up in the jumps. My biggest knocks on Reagor are his blocking, and he seemed to get apathetic/complacent after all the QB shenanigans at TCU.... The effort seemed to have dropped in 19’ as compared to 18’.

It’s almost like he got an “I’m pregnant” text from his girlfriend before the 40. ?. Maybe he’s trying to insure that he drops to GB, SF, etc.

Certainly was disappointing. I find it strange because Reagor’s burned a bunch of corners who will likely run 4.4s. I’m wondering if the extra muscle he put on was seriously detrimental. Feel the same about Hamler. I really wanted to see him and Bowden.

DPJ knocking some time off.

I was being a bit facetious, but when you combine that speed with him needing to develop his routes it might take a while for him to develop into a reliable threat. Until then.... jackknife
