Hackett today on a 64 yard FG vs a 4th and 5 conversion attempt: “Looking back at it, we definitely should have gone for it.” Hackett’s chance of mind I’m surprised he’d admit to this as it does nothing but rile up the fanbase and make him appear as a coach without a plan. If it was McD at the podium, you already know his answer if asked a day after the game: “respectfully, I get why you’re asking, but it doesn’t change anything, so like everything else we learn from it and move on.”

Tariq Woolen. The 6’4” 205 lb corner who ran a 4.26 at the combine. He was drafted with their 5th round pick.

Memo to teams: play your starters in the preseason.

Von Miller just equaled the number of sacks (2) that Hughes had in 17 games last season. Jerry could get pressure, he just wasn’t bendy, fast, or strong enough to seal the deal.

Liked Bates better at LG

All blues tonight! Perfect way to throw “curse of the blue pants” away at the start of the new season.

Not surprised, remember the 49ers ticket limit? Hopefully they make it tough on the Rams offense in their own building.

Britney Griner. She’s on loan from Russia.

Pretty wild Buscaglia called the exact 5 inactives. Guessing Dorsey will be calling plays from the booth?

I’d like to see a limit of 5 myself. Makes it even more special and exclusive to be named.

He was exaggerating. Even the lowest practice squad player makes close to $100,000/yr. NFL league minimum is like $700,000.

If he wasn’t in the long term plans, it’d be a shrewd move, but one that I’d support, provided the coaches were comfortable with Bernard stepping into that role, of course.

And if he’s not in the long term plans, I’ll be disappointed if they don’t consider trading him by the deadline.

Was Dorsey in the booth or on the sidelines against CAR?

Haack apparently had a hugely successful debut punting against the Bucs. Colts announcers were gushing over him and saying he needed a nickname. At least for Haack he gets to punt in a dome. He can’t handle the elements.

Hopefully the team moves past this rather fast and gets back to focusing on the season. I have no doubt it’s like a gray cloud hanging over them right now, they just lost a teammate and it wasn’t due to his on the field performance. As far as Araiza, at the very least he’s an idiot for putting himself in a situation where he could be accused. I’ll be interested to see how it all plays out and if Araiza is found to be completely innocent of all rape related charges, I cannot fault the Bills for cutting ties. Too much of a distraction.

You said it… circumstances. It’s the difference between a player being thought of as “very good” versus “elite.” Had we drafted Rob Gronkowski in the 2nd round all those moons ago, rather than Torrell Troup, Gronkowski doesn’t go on to have the same impact in the NFL. He would’ve had JP Losman, Trent Edwards, EJ Manuel, etc throwing him the football instead of arguably the greatest QB of all time. In that same vein he would’ve been considered a “very good” player on the Bills, but I’m not sure if he even makes it to a pro bowl. Circumstances. Maybe Gesicki hasn’t learned to block because the prior regime was content to use him as a big WR. It’s what he does very well. Seems like he has plenty of attitude and nasty, so blocking may be something he could learn. He’s not there yet and it doesn’t sound like the Dolphins have the patience to wait. He’s not gonna “arrive” in one offseason anyway, at least not to what the HC finds acceptable for his offense.

For a guy who’s almost 6’6” and 250 pounds, those numbers are impressive for a TE or WR. Over a 40in vertical as well. I feel he’d be a matchup nightmare in the Bills offense, could you imagine Josh Allen throwing him the ball instead of Tua? 🤯 I’d be afraid of him with any upper echelon QB throwing him the football, he has killed us with subpar QB play.

Typical eball, don’t pay him much mind.

The Bills make his highlights 4 times, but the play at 0:37 where he burned Hyde on 4th and 6 really pissed me off because the Dolphins were doing absolutely nothing on offense until that point. Felt like an answered prayer.

You could add Gabe Davis to that list as well.

He looks slow because he’s so long and lanky, but the guy has wheels. An elite speed grade and an insane 3 cone, so he’s got quickness. Athleticism was never a question with him. https://ras.football/2019/12/15/mike-gesicki-ras-16703/

He has an insane catch radius and outstanding hands, but as others have said, is more of a big WR than inline TE.

I think their 10 QBs atop the list in accuracy is questionable. No Josh Allen, but Kyler Murray?

He does amongst the players, but only when upset. There’s videos of him yelling where some of his words were bleeped out. I think he’s such a man of faith and Christian values that foul language isn’t a part of his every day vocabulary. EDIT: there have also been post game victory speeches where part of his language was bleeped out.
