I want the defense to have change forced on them. Otherwise why should we expect anything different. I'm not one of the people that think Edmunds sucks. I think he is key to our pass coverage, but I think that because Frazier built the defense that way. Similar to how he built it around the combination of Poyer and Hyde. This left us in a very bad spot if anything happened to these guys. We can't be that exposed at positions that most teams feel are interchangeable. Let him move on. Restructure the defense in more of a balanced way. We are running out of room to keep paying our elite players. Not because we can't do so if we really want, but because we have not seen those players take us to elite places and the vast majority have been locked up. If you haven't been locked up already under this regime I think that says all you need to know.

Insane athlete. NFL arm strength. Outside of that, he's not even in my top 10. He can't be. Any QB that is dependent on running can't be in your top 10. It will get taken away when it matters and for most, you will miss significant time. If Lamar never had his rookie year when nobody knew how to defend him, then he wouldn't be seeing much more than average starter money at best. Roman has made every mobile QB he has seen have an efficient looking passing line, but none of them could ever get it done when it mattered nor play in more QB focused systems. The NFL knows everything I'm saying. He will not see anywhere close to what he is demanding. He will never see a Super Bowl. Sign him and you put a ceiling over your team. It is that simple.

I would give Chris Pratt a go team butt slap

It's not upsetting

What is the purpose of this thread? Isn't it basically understood that they all lie? Biden lies and sucks. Lame duck. That doesn't mean Trump isn't a narcissistic tool box. I'm surprised rational people even try and take sides at this point. They all suck. They all lie. None of them stand for what you believe in.

Anybody that had a brain cell to burn knew Deon would bring in elite recruits. It’s a beautiful area and he was doing it already outside of D1. To be perfectly honest, it’s a joke Deon didn’t get approached sooner. How many coaches in the country are going to basically guarantee you a high end class? He doesn’t need to be an elite coach. Colorado will do more than turn it around soon enough.

Maybe it forces Frazier to not have to depend on a freak athlete to make his defense sort of work.

I don’t disagree with your general point but your statements about the Eagles need some context. The Bills would be in the SB if they played the same schedule as the Eagles. The defense folded the two or three times they played literally anybody. I mean look at the schedule for yourself. It’s incredible. Dak was the best they faced all year. Maybe Goff, until the SB.

This thread is funny. Half the people think it's the dumbest thread ever and that it's all the Eagles line. The other half think it's mostly Hurts. Some have said Josh is excellent at this already (he once was) and some have said he sucks now, too many fumbles (not exactly the case). We just mostly stopped running it after the Titans game. Nobody thinks it's worth dedicating some resources to in order to lock up a 3rd or 4th an short? In any event, I would bet money assisting the runner will be banned very soon, at the least, they will say something like you can only assist the runner when they cross the line of scrimmage. These 4th and 1 plays are some of the most exciting in the game and teams do get a decent amount of stops on them. The assisted sneak is just lame and boring. Doesn't really feel in the spirit of the game.

Somebody needs to tell Lamar he's at the wrong table.

Yup, they use a different technique than any other team. Then they have an insanely strong runner as well. Same as Josh, but again, we keep choosing to not run it after horrible things happen. Two straight years now. I think you’re extremely short sited if you think it’s not worth a roster spot for a guaranteed first down on anything within a yard. Show me the stats of us being the best in the league on 3rd or 4th and 1.

I would think college teams have tons of potential options. Mobile or physically strong guys who just will never make it throwing.

We used to run it with Josh at some of the highest and most successful rates in the league. Post Titans, we haven't run it much at all. We started again this year a little more with the runner assist, but post Minnesota game I don't believe we ran it one time. Given our clear history of running it, then basically stopping all together after "events" two years in a row, my thought was Allen had the yips. Perhaps that isn't the case. Could be one of many things. Having said this, we certainly never coached the submarine style line blocking the Eagles do. Nor the level of runner assist the Eagles use. We basically had one WR pushing. You can tell, the Eagles practice that all the time. I feel if practiced all the time it is basically unstoppable. I wouldn't be surprised if the NFL puts in a rule to take that play out. It's a cheat code as it stands right now. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-just-fall-forward-nfl-teams-qb-sneak-underutilized

I don't think it's that straight forward. With the right execution, practice, and technique. You just can't stop it. Not with assisting the runner. I expect every team in the NFL to go this path. That yard is worth a couple of wins a year.

Is it worth a roster spot? Hell yes it is. Especially if you think Josh just can't execute it, which until the Titans game he did nearly to perfection. Since that point we barely have run it. Watching the Eagles do this all year and in this game. Such a huge advantage to be guaranteed 3rd/4th and 1.

If this is true it would be comical but make sense. Diggs is still the Alpha. I don't care that Allen is a bigger star or the QB. Allen is goofy and not the least bit confrontational while Diggs just doesn't give a F. If you envision a pre-madonna moment between the two with that dynamic it's not a pretty thought. I don't think much of this is real, if any of it. Some of it makes some sense if you just visualize them in a moment like this, but you could argue not giving a F would be a greater sin. If they don't get along it seems like the root tends to be wins and losses with a dash of get me the ball, but not enough to bother me.

ESPN did an interview with him and his brother earlier this year. They're VERY close. Steph basically raised him. In the ESPN piece they talked about Trevon coming to Buffalo. If you listen to the interview he just keeps repeating he wants to play with his brother. Which, I mean, if I was a millionaire elite athlete and so was my brother, I think I would like to do the same thing. He mentions that he's followed the Cowboys much more since Trevon has been there and he liked them when he was a kid. Outside of that it's just I want to play with my brother. Now maybe that's here, maybe it's Dallas, somewhere else or never, but he has been nothing but committed to us.

We did a cameo at my work with Brett Favre and he was wasted. Slurring. It was a mess. Maybe we aren't all built for what happens after you get to the top of the mountain.

I don't think I'm insulting McDermott by saying Hall will learn more in Jacksonville. He is young and he has learned what he can at this point. Who is going to develop his offensive mind further in Buffalo? In this, I guess it is a bit of a concern. You don't want a WR coach on a SB contender in a position where it make sense for him to grow outside your team.

I what to talk about where my enthusiasm is regarding Tremaine Edmunds possible contract, but I don't feel this is the correct thread,

I was just messing around. This threads not aging well but I hope it will eventually. For humors sake here is the nearly two decade old post I will tell my never to born grandkids about

Anybody want to bump my Kyle Williams preseason review where I discussed how I thought he was going to surprise a lot of people? We could also unearth some Haloti Ngata, but I think half the wall has one of those threads to bump

I assume the pic is you playing tic tac toe with Tremaine Edmonds for his 13th birthday as Josh looks on holding Isaiah McKenzie who is in a diaper?
