Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.

One of the benefits to Henry is that he’s spent most of his college and NFL career in two back rotations. He’s used to splitting carries and coming in to hammer a defense. Singletary has also proven he can come off the bench and thrash a D. It’s honestly the best two back combination we could have. It’s going to be interesting how that reflects in Henry’s contract though as he’s not really a guy you can use in the passing game.

Spinner joke of the week award goes to...

Shenault would allow for a lot of versatility with base personnel. Everything from running all of McKenzies gadget plays to motioning to the backfield from 5 wide sets. I could see Daboll banging the table for that skill set.

Did he hire AB’s publicist?

Still too early in their careers to say. Tre is certainly a hit. Allen still needs to improve. If one of them reaches HOF status it was worthwhile.... I’ll get back to you in 15-20 years.

Nothing normal about it.... I’d imagine it’d be $1MM guaranteed salary and whatever the playoff per game money is ($50k?). Basically $250k-$1MM a game. ?‍♂️

I’m sure AB would sign with the saints for less than $1MM to have a SB shot with Brees and improve his image.

Only if we win a SB. I’d get a few chuckles from winning a SB with cowboy castaways. Primarily because ESPN would hammer Jerry Jones the whole offseason.

No. Anderson is 28.

With rookies there’s always an “if”. ?‍♂️ Knox has to improve. If he doesn’t he will be replaced like every other player, including Allen and Oliver. Knox has a relatively high ceiling, the dropsies will assure a low floor.... just like Zay Jones. My opinion on Allen is that a large portion of his accuracy issues stem from poor footwork and inconsistent fundamentals coupled with inexperience. That can be mostly fixed with diligence. However, I think he’ll always have a penchant for a few WTF throws here and there like Favre. I wonder Palmer will let Knox shag balls at QB camp.

^^^THIS^^^ With where the league is Edmunds ability to shrink zones can disrupt the passing game and lead to picks. His lapses in the run D can be mitigated by better D line play and the offense scoring to provide early leads. Teams that often go into halftime with a 7 point lead rarely have bad statistical run defense.

I find this incredibly encouraging. If Knox reigns in the drops he could develop into a top TE which would mean we can go speed over size (but not quite smurf) in the WR group and it’ll help Allen’s development tremendously.

It’s certainly a valid point. If you’re the best corner in the league you dominate in both man and zone. Tre’s a top 5 corner hands down. None of the top guys are substantially better than the rest like Deon or are is though. The flipside is that until midway through last season Gilmore’s weaknesses zone coverage and speed. The media seems to have forgotten his first season in NE where he blew a lot of zone coverages; particularly cover 3 and quarters. The speed issue has been partially resolved by NE referee treatment and the league calling defensive PI less frequently this season.

Fair enough. I dislike the idea of creating holes in the o line. I’m not so sure that Spain isn’t upgradable though. His lack of agility certainly rears it’s head a few times a game on screens, traps, d line stunts, and delayed blitzes. Spain is a good mauler, but I’m not sure he’s athletic enough to do exactly what Daboll wants. I’d replace him with Scherff in a heartbeat, but I’ll also entertain the idea that Ford is a cheaper and more athletic guard.

Why not just move Felliciano to LG, Ford to RG, and just sign a FA RT while letting Spain leave? The kid has a year under his belt and experience at RG. Just making that swap improves the athleticism on the interior.

We don’t need a Michael Thomas or Julio Jones. It’d be nice, but... it’s not a necessity. Another receiver the caliber of Robert Woods would fit the bill, and make this offense a lot harder to stop. Particularly if Knox improves his hands and blocking in the off season. We’re playing #4 WRs as #2’s. That’s detrimental, but at least Foster isn’t our best receiving option anymore.

Certainly possible, especially if Allen is going to hit deep shots and Brown is going to spin around top corners. ?‍♂️

Bandwagon. Interesting. I was just assuming that most of the new accounts were sock accounts for trolling. Bandwagon. Gonna take some getting used to.

The only way to ensure victory when the fix is in. Otherwise you get this....

If Allen can beat 0 coverage we should win.

One thing BB mentioned in the imbedded video.... Our offense is gameplan oriented; we changed the offense for the Pit game, etc. We have noticed that here, and it’s been mentioned by players to an extent. I’m curious how that evolves over the next year or so.

It can’t all be out on the size of the WRs. Scheme and execution also matter. Smaller WRs can break games wide open with an accurate throw off a rub. That doesn’t happen very often here. Part of it is Allen being inconsistent; other aspect is we tend to go for chunk yardage, especially with Smoke

“Hey Josh. This is how I gave Darnold mono.”

Knox seems to do better when he doesn’t have time to think. It doesn’t seem to matter if that’s due to pass interference or a rocket ball. That’s why I have high hopes for the kid. The talent is there. Just needs to improve his blocking and let the game slow down.
