You forgot Bobby Bonilla Day

That isn't what I said, is it?

This just isn't true. I have no idea of the actual extent of his injury, but if he couldn't handfight or push off, it absolutely would have affected his ability to get open.

Until Burrow gets hurt because they can only afford to put 4 guys from Xavier in front of him. You build teams from the inside out, not from the outside in, imo.

There are at least 1 billion people in this world who think they are an introvert but are not. I'm pretty sure you're one of them.

Juju back to the Chiefs

Never again will I have to recheck three times per game "was that Bernard or Benford?"

He's made over 100 million dollars in his career. Why would another few million bucks matter to a guy who may not care that much about material things? He's also an introvert who simply doesn't care what other people think, so becoming a folk hero probably holds no attraction for him. Ascribing our own motivations to a guy whose desires bear no resemblance to our own is misguided, imo. I'm sure the FO would be glad to have him back and likely offered him a contract along the lines of what you suggested. But whether he accepts it is up to him, not them.

Land Carp, ma'am....

I had a feeling this might be coming. He's rich beyond the dreams of avarice and has no need to beat himself up any more for a game that's always been more a career than a passion for him. I can see him walking away and spending his time travelling the world or engaging in some kind of unique hobby he genuinely loves. Good dude who had some suck ass luck last year; I hope he finds joy in his freedom.

He did when he wasn't starting. As a starter they mostly took him off Teams. I don't know about Carolina.

He wasn't bad either. Like any corner, there are going to be things he does well and things he struggles with. If the Bills recognize the need to get their corners up and play physically to force QB's to hold the ball for more than two seconds, he'll probably be OK. If they ask him to play on his heels against bigger, faster players he's probably going to struggle. Whichever the case, I am doubtful whether he is actually going to be the starter in Week 1.

Personally, I have zero angst about flying. I do feel bad for the folks with the yokes who are probably going to be dealing with increasing ATC issues over time. Seems like a job where confidence should be paramount.

Probably feels a little different on the flight deck

F for Funny?

Guessing from the site's title, I'd imagine it's more about salary than ability.

Between your inability to understand the difference between a fact and an opinion and your reliance on outside statisticians to judge players' abilities, it is simply not worth my time.

Ignore him. His "analysis" is 100% a giant load of horseshlt.

I think the answer is in your question. That wrist injury was probably worse then they were letting on and because of it he just couldn't rack up enough live reps to get acclimated to the way Josh plays.

He might be fine for a team in transition like the Giants who aren't ready to win right now. But any team that has playoff aspirations would be wise to stay away from Russell; he single-handedly wrecked the Steelers over the last month of the season.

I'm not 100% sure, but for some reason I think he has to play 6 games for the year to count toward FA. And if the Bills are planning to hold firm on their offer and let Cook walk next year if it's not enough for him, I think they're likely to draft a RB regardless of whether they anticipate a holdout or not.

I like what I've seen also; the hitting is nice icing but not the cake, imo. The limited film I've seen from both college and the NFL suggests that this kid is a genuinely smart player; to me, that's the cake. I think he has a genuine shot at stealing a starting role here. I think he got better with that toward the end of his first season here. I don't know if it was Hyde working with him but it seemed like a light sort of finally went on and he started doing a better job of keeping his head up and his eyes open. It's a huge difference maker when you can actually see your target. There have been a lot fewer instances of blue on blue since then.

Probably a combination of two things. A new coaching staff who brought their own safety that took Forrest's spot. And he tweaked a hamstring in camp and was inactive the first four weeks so probably never had a real chance to compete for his position.
