  1. I’m very curious to see how the Iggles react to Brandon Graham retiring - meaning who’s gonna keep Jalen out of trouble. The kid has been compared to Jerome Brown (I see why) and he also likes to do stupid stuff while driving. Just a thought. I can’t hate the Iggles, best friend is a lifelong fan and writer for the team.
  2. We traded him for the 5th round pick that we used to select Kyle Williams. I think it worked out for us pretty well.
  3. Ralph actually endured burying an adult child, one who was deeply involved in the organization, and responsible for our drafting of Jerry Butler. This is why Ralph took the hospice network in Buffalo under his wing financially. I’m pretty sure you don’t know this, based upon n the initial comment, but he lost his only offspring and it affected him profoundly. I’ll say it again, Ralph was an insurance guy and that caused him to have a difficult time quantifying the impact/salary equation. However, as a human, you quite possibly could find no better example of graciousness and kindness. He quite literally funded Buffalo and Detroit in some specific areas that had profound impacts on him. That is a sign of a noble person and I hope people in similar situations follow his lead.
  4. For those of us old enough to remember Pete Metzellars, he’s his long lost cousin. The guy is the best blocking TE to come into the NFL in a very long time. If he can catch, and not even run, he’s going to be Josh’s best friend, soon. He’s one of the newbies I’m looking forward to watching.
  5. He would be extremely jealous of the contracts and guarantees that each and every player earns. Ralph, being an insurance guy, had a difficult time weighing salary decisions. You see, the first rule of finance is to mitigate risk, and I truly think he had a terribly difficult time dumping big $$’s into a few guys - early. I appreciate him being our founder, but he was a miserable owner - especially during early and mid ownership eras. May the old guy rest in peace and worry not about my opinion…
  6. The system is very kind to CB’s. We’re gonna be ok. A “serious camp battle” will be Jackson and Ingram vying for the last CB spot. The loser spends time on the practice squad until a season ending injury occurs.
  7. Sad. 65 is way too young - especially with “money not being a factor” if you will. Addiction is brutal if left unchecked and sometimes it’s too late to have a meaningful attempt to correct it. RIP.
  8. Good for him. I hope he makes their final roster and ultimately contributes to the offense and ‘teams. It’s obvious we decided to go in a different direction.
  9. Well, he refuses to believe in the possibility of there being NHI in the universe that has visited our giant ball of rock. This makes many believe he’s short-sighted or obstinate.
  10. This took a strange turn.
  11. Ummm, we are going to be without 2 DL’s for the first 6 weeks of the season. This is why we’re carrying a high number to camp.
  12. They have six game suspensions, not eight.
