Does Simms know D Ends like he knows QBs? Maybe he's just trying to counter for all his Josh Allen love.

It is? Can the tight ends not have their hands down anymore?

Love those formations: 1 or 2 wideouts, 2 TEs with their hands down, a fullback and a running back. Old school football.

Sarcasm, right?

The odds, combined with a solid scouting dept, suggest that one of them is going to be a star some day. 10-11 sacks a season by year 3 or 4. One might ever become a superstar.

That's the connection. Ergo the thread title.

I hope they get him signed soon. Before camp. If he explodes this year he could be the first $50 mil/year player.

Happy Birthday Kim. Thanks for hiring the right guys and staying out of their way. (Does anyone think she actually reads this?)

Help me understand. Because when I looked up his RAS, I got this: https://relativeathleticscores.com/2020/02/03/a-j-epenesa-ras/ The only difference I see is the position. How can he score 8.77 on one and 4.09 on the other, when the measurements are the same?

We did that one after every track meet.

So if Josh can stay humble (ie: not "arm-arrogant") we're good? I would say his rookie season knocked a lot of arrogance out of him.

Making it even more horrible. Especially considering the next 3 wideouts selected were Curtis Samuel, Juju Smith-Schuster, and Cooper Kupp.

Except Zay was a 2nd rounder.

Troy Haupt. This looks like NFL Network footage that was "cobbled together". https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/02/02/nfl-wont-pay-man-who-has-most-of-super-bowl-i-on-tape/

That Max McGee one-handed grab was awesome! Advance the video to 10:30 to see the highlight: OBJ had nothing on this guy! I also noticed a lot of empty seats. Esp. in the End Zone. But why do the place-kickers only take 1 tiny step?

Well, if Tebow can do it.....

You know, the game does not look nearly as archaic as I expected. Len Dawson looks a bit like Josh when he rolls out of the pocket. I love how Bart Starr practically turns his back to the LOS when he drops back.

Here's an interesting factoid that most track guys know: you can only sprint at max. speed for around 1.5 seconds. The remainder of a 100 sprint is either acceleration or deceleration (the latter despite your best efforts - and truthfully, trying hard makes it worse - you need to stay smooth and relaxed). Sprinters train for years to maximize speed maintenance, through repetition and technique training. Football is all about rapid acceleration and change of direction. So there really is a difference. I have no doubt Metcalf (and others, like John Ross or Tyreek Hill) could be a World-class sprinter. But as many on here have pointed out, he would need to walk away from football (and the millions of dollars) to focus exclusively on track. To possibly have career earnings of $10 million.

Looks like he signed with the Giants. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Shelton

Gonna say Obada busts out with 10. Swing for the fences.

She clearly doesn't know Bills fans very well: "...I probably wouldn't know him". He's our starting outside LB!! Hell, most of us know every backup on the team, never mind the starters. Sounds like he's a great guy, on top of being an excellent LB. Thanks for sharing.
