  1. good analysis, but I still want-hope to see some circle or wheel routes from the RBs Burkhhead is but 5-10 and 214 lbs - so not the FB - but I do like this stat line (which is why I am a tad anal on the topic) In 13 games last season, Burkhead rushed for 302 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 27 passes for 279 yards...point being a slow-guy like him is able to avg 10 YPC and Yeldon only 4 YPC...call me confused... New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead reworked the final year of his contract. Burkhead's base compensation drops from $3 million to $2 million, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The restructuring includes a $550,000 signing bonus, $1.05 million in base salary and $400,000 in per-game roster bonuses. ESPN first reported the new deal. Pelissero noted that the guaranteed portion -- the $550,000 signing bonus -- is the same amount of guarantee that Cam Newton got from the Patriots on his incentive-laden one-year pact. Burkhead signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Patriots in 2018. A versatile weapon, the 30-year-old has not played a full slate of games in three seasons with the Pats due to injury.
  2. one thing I am focusing on is the pass-catching ability of the Bills RBs, esp Moss, this is an under-utilized aspect of the offense that I would like to see increase in as it helps diversify and further complicate the defensive gameplaning and in=game assignments; Pats are able to do this to including Rex Burkhead who catches 25-30 passes as a freaking useless FB a la our very own P Dimarco, Burkhead has burned us as well...
  3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Thomas total head case, Super Bowl MVP (not), but there are some good quotes he made, seems the Cowboys brought him back x 3, plus the trade to NE is bizarre and involves a player who would later become a Bill.. .saw something on NFL films years ago where he would not talk to team-mates during practice or film sessions to the point where they would call him out...contract-related behavior
  4. ahem, I stand corrected...I refer to them, the local team[of which I am not a fan] as the Washington football team formerly known as the Redskins...I think this is politically correct as well as factual (alternative fact maybe)...flame on beotches
  5. from the personal memory bank attendance was 80.020(for sellouts at Rich Stadium) and Buffalo Evening News often posted that in the box score of Bills games several of those who went to the game got stuck in traffic and missed it and some parked on sides of road and walked a construction worker who erected the first goal-posts kicked the first ever FG at the new stadium an 11 yarder Herb Mul-key of the then Redskins took the opening kick-off for a 102 yard touchdown Bills lost https://buffalonews.com/news/this-day-in-buffalo-sports-history-aug-17-1973-traffic-was-awful-for-bills-first/article_100d5df2-9aa3-5bdc-b93d-22126b217584.html Duane Thomas mercurial-tempermental RB for the 'skins (cowbows prior) had to held-baclk from going over the wall to get at fans who were heckling or whatever, some girls reported in the paper the next day that they were scared that he was going after them. 47 years later, same stadium and a lot of memories, including rock concerts, all-day events with multiple acts...called them summer-fest or super-fest.
  6. I see ST progress as a decrease in penalties we take (example LorAx had 2 on back-to-back plays last season) as well making a big play and preventing ...good ole Pats blocked 4 punts out of 9 total in the NFL last season and one of course was against us, which was a difference maker in a close home game loss. Investment in Tyler M (MLB) 3.4 M and Taiwan J (RB) 1.6M as well as Andre R (WR) 2M is over 7M which is shows they value ST skills....any position play from them is a bonus,
  7. think how much better society will be in 2021 with test improvements, first draft of the vaccine and more awareness-preventative measures being taken, just gotta limp thru 2020...simply cant be any worse...
  8. its not a bad idea, but does Beano have the interest and the background to run the entire football business; its not the model the Pegulas embrace given past experiences and this summers purge of the Sabres ? Would it detract from Beano scouting and player review-evaluations-decisions ? I dont see it happening but I do hope for a 5 year GM extension soon
  9. dare he is, dat man right dare, my friend da juice...I know every playahs numbah and where day went to collidge...
  10. ya know they could make a lot of money selling jersies and shirts worn in practice not just games I would think..I know I would be in for some
  11. likely not done anymore ? at least not hearing of it...you have to wonder if it does exist as a recommendation only ? and how would it consider minority candidates and how many ?
  12. I hunted did not find, but I clearly remember reading about the NFL providing recommendations which to your point is something to debate in and of itself as well whether it is factual.
  13. does not include Brian Winter cap for 2020 - which should eat into by several million more - Beano no like to dip below 15M for wiggle room and carryover
  14. IIRC the NFL provided the Pegulas with a short list of coaches to consider and Sean McD was on it; McD no doubt recommended Beano and we got...lucky I play baseball with a guy who was a high-school classmate of McD from PA and calls McD turbo-intense in high-school and a practical joker (sophisticated sense of humor). My personal seal of approval is based on the fact that he wrestled at a high-level in the state of PA (I ref wrestling for sereral years) and that he went to William and Mary (brainiacs die to get in there) and played ball at the same time is a significant achievement (time managment).
  15. being compared to last year's Deadskins is not an achievement but while being owned by the Pegulas is
  16. one thought I had after listening to Tre mention the family issue- being that he is from La a trade to the NO Saints with a twist trade him for one this year only to the Saints for a 2nd round pick and then after the season but before the start of the NFL season 2021 his rights revert back to the Bills Bills get a pick and cap room, Tre plays and comes back to the Bills, not gonna happen but I wonder why not...flame on beotches....
  17. good idea, but the concept no doubt has to be run thru the desk of cerebral giant KIm Pegula so I would expect a tweak of sorts; like collections of drawings from 5th graders....
  18. yeah the tackling mechanics, gap integrity and stamina are going to be issues. Keeping these young healthy, vibrant very social wealthy young men out of the clubs has proven to be a challenge with pro athletes thus far.
  19. usual shrewed move by MCBean - injury history a risk but a quality vet with the right stuff...a better pass-blocker then road-run-grade...likely wants to stick it up the Jets tailpipe as well...welcome and glad to have ya...
  20. good pull, I still have flashbacks including watching that with a friend who is-was Jets fan...quote...dude you got your ace handed to you by a guy named Chadwick !
  21. while EJ is an excellent corner and this board loves him some EJ, King played 30% of the d snaps with Seattle, his excellent speed-athleticism (4.41 - 40) makes him an strong candidate for ST and backup DB; a blessing in disguise possibly
  22. umh, well its a slow nite, and a slow school apparently...my apologies for poking some fun...unless you are all about value ? Is Frostburg State a good school? Within Maryland, Frostburg State University is Considered a Lower Quality College at a Good Price. Frostburg State University's overall average net price combined with a lower quality education, results in a good value for the money when compared to other colleges and universities in Maryland.
  23. let the record show as teenagers we collectively mooned the Dolphins team bus...back in the day you could do this sort of thing and just zip-up-, high-five, drink-up and moon-along....
  24. Rosewell Park is now #14 up from #30 which is a good indicator of progress...even tho John Hopkins is #4 they couldnt help a friend who recently passed at age 34 with 3 kids under age 4...get tested early and spread the word esp when you or someone you know is around age 50....PSA and colonoscopy...please....please...
