Coach Tuesday

Slayton

Slayton would’ve the guy.

The Lions’ safety Branch just got ejected by Park Avenue for nearly the same hit. Some consistency would be nice.

The problem is Amon-Ra St. Brown’s insane contract given to him by the Lions (dumb organizations to dumb things): 4 years, $120,010,000 with a whopping $77,000,000 guaranteed, average annual salary of $30,002,500.

This thread is still a thing?

To be fair Joe B. also does keep insinuating that Damar is reluctant to get dirty. Today’s article said it this way: ”Hamlin remains the most significant question mark, as his play-it-safe style, along with hesitance to dip down into the play has cost the team a lot of yardage over the season.” That’s far from the first time this season that Joe B. has tiptoed around the radioactive assertion that Damar is afraid of initiating contact. I’m not saying it’s accurate or not but it’s been raised.

He bet on himself - he wanted to enter the offseason as a FA to get one more big payday. That’s what this was all about. Tough luck for him.

And they know him well from having played against him many times in the division.

Thanks Buckets.

Any news on the Diggs injury?

This season is more enjoyable than last season, if we’re being honest.

Throwing a cat out of a house isn’t easy, Rich.

For the season he’s given up 6 catches for 29 yards on 15 targets 😱😱

He will want Amon-Ra numbers (thanks, Lions!) but I think he’s a tick below that level of talent. But if he keeps producing like this, he will get it somewhere.

Uche was available this offseason for anyone to sign. He'll be available again this coming offseason - he's on a one-year deal.

I'd consider him if he wasn't on a rotation. Benford never comes off the field. Taron needs to be in the conversation as well. He's basically a CB/linebacker hybrid and probably the best tackler on the team. He is playing at a really high level despite the drop-off in help behind him.

Wait are you going Benford or Bernard? I went CB the CB not TB the LB but could make the case for either of them.

I voted Benford. He is basically just locking down his side on every play and seems to rarely even get tested anymore.

Crayonz??

Some people are just obsessed with having grievances.

Maybe hurt.

Rams aren’t eating any salary now (per Diana Russini) so the Bills would need to free up around $7-$8m for the remainder of this season and then about $20m next season. I don’t think this one is likely, although the Bills did inquire (I assume pre-Cooper).

This is a good point. There were always whispers that he was a bit of a dog (not a dawg) but maybe he just doesn’t have the fire that some guys have (like Diggs, who maybe has too much of it). To be fair none of the QBs Cooper played with were strong alphas except maybe Dak, but Dak has not been able to overcome the dysfunction of that franchise. Maybe Cooper will do better on a team with a real leader at QB where he can just go ball. Back to Diggs, reading between all of the lines, I suspect he would let Allen have it whenever Allen ran a play as called but not featuring Diggs, and it got into Allen’s head and hindered his ability to play within structure. It became toxic on the field. I don’t think he’ll have that issue with Cooper unless he gets fixated on his contract year target share but again, the kind of moping he’s known for is 1/1000 of what Diggs would get up to and I think they can handle it.

Well played.

But yet - the idea of 40 year-old cranky Rodgers peeling himself off of the turf just in time to face a team whose coach just called them out for being “soft” - it’s killing me. Something tells me the Pats are gonna come after him this weekend.
