In Kansas City!

The way I see it the Jets are an all around mess in need of a fairly large amount of talent. They have draft picks, but if they end up giving a large number of them up to get Watson, then they may not improve much in other areas. Miami on the other hand is decent all around right now and has draft picks, so if they were to trade for him they'd be a good team now also with a top QB so of the two potential destinations, would prefer the Jets.

So was this what the movie Chinatown was all about? Close to 50 years ago, but... do recall it was all about California water rights.

Around 12:00 was listening to NFL radio and Vic Carruci reported it was Covid so who knows??

Getting my 1st Covid vaccine shot this morning!

Two other guys I put up there in the same grouping for similar type reasons are: Dominik Hasek Many players in sports demand to be traded, and many will also dictate the teams they will only go too. But don't don't recall a player ever telling the team who he's demanding they trade him and to a specific team, but then telling said team, "You better not ask for too much in return as I don't want you weakening the Red wings so that I can't win the Stanley Cup!" 2nd one, as a Knick's fan, Pat Riley. Many coaches will mortgage the future to win now as he did. He traded many a draft pick and young players for older guys with a year or two left max. They came close a couple times to winning ti all, but never quite made it thanks to Reggie Miller and Jordan. But then once he knew the team was over the hill and wasn't going to be able to win the following season, he was owed a bonus of a few million on the upcoming July 1st. The Knick's were one day late in paying it so he claimed they voided the contract and he walked away to Miami and the league ruled in his favor. Those two events, plus Marrone dumping the Bills has left me rooting for failure from them three. So far only one has worked out pretty well.

So tell me what happened to him? Is it injury? Coaching? How can a person go from one fairly high level to where he is now? Reich did do a good job with him so hard to just dismiss that. There's a good chance he could be gone, but think his past success will warrant him one more chance. Guess it may depend on what a guy like Reich really thinks of him.

Or Wentz, though the large contract may stop that All we now is Big Ben to retire too, would be a heck of a HOF class in 3 years, Brees, Rivers, and Ben

Feliciano, Morse, Williams Of these three I think there will be two of them on next years roster. Which two can't say for certain, think the first priority will be to sign Feliciano, next will try to sign Williams, likely at the expense of cutting Morse to free money to sign Williams. If they can't sign Williams, then maybe Morse stays. It's also possible Morse retires too. Either way they line will be short one player even with the return of Ford. I suspect they will draft an interior lineman fairly high, 2nd or 3rd round. Boettger could start next year, but maybe 5 to 6 weeks into the season could see the rookie taking over the starting slot. Regardless Boettger will likely be on the roster as a backup. Maybe Bates also returns as a backup and they also sign an experienced backup too. Would prefer Morse being the odd man out rather than Williams as creates a stronger group and easier/cheaper to find an interior lineman than a tackle. I'd try to draft a lineman with both guard and center experience if possible.

When has this ever stopped anyone here on this site! There's so much expertise here on this site, far more than the coaching staff possesses. Just ask them.

I'm sure it also doesn't help that they are $53 mil over the cap too, only team worse off is the Saints which there's an entire thread on that one. So hows that work out when the dead cap is a smaller number than the Cap hit if you cut the guy?? Fletcher Cox: Dead cap: $21 mil, Cap hit $24 mil. where as: Wentz: Dead cap: $59 mil, Cap hit $35 mil I assume if they cut hit they'd take the whole $59 mil cap hit?

And Irsay made Ralph look like a spend thrift, well at least the old man did. WRT to cap saving I see Brees is listed a cap hit of $36 mil and dead cap of $22.6. For the cap saving do you basically subtract the dead from the hit?

So are the baselines like some type of bran scans or something that is actual hard data that isn't up to a person to tell you what you want to hear? The one thing I read last night talked about symptom free, and headache free all things that a person could just give the answer they want you to hear. Where as if it was some type of brain scans are the baseline, that would be hard to fake out. I have no idea so just trying to understand what is required.

Yes I get that but it's not different than me going to the doctor and he asks me does anything bother you and I tell him no, meanwhile I'm in extreme pain. A doc could take an X-ray and tell someone, no your leg's not healed enough to play this week, but don't think there's any test you can be given to determine if the person really has a headache or not if the person says they don't. Does it make sense for Mahomes to lie about it absolutely not, but many an athlete would lie if it meant they play or not play in a playoff game. I'm sure he could be fined or maybe even suspended by the league for lying about his medical condition, but not something easily proven either.

I believe it does as I use to hear my boss from about 3 offices away dictating on his Samsung phone blah blah blah (period) La la la (question mark) or whatever. I don't do it often enough to bother, instead I just go back and manually insert all the punctuation I want/need.

I've done voice to text a fair amount too and understand the lack of punctuation. But what you can do before hitting send, go back and manually proofread and just add in periods, paragraphs etc. If you don't have the time to do that, then probably best not bother even texting as sorry, but doubt anyone has the ability to actually read that mess.

Even if they said he did have a concussion, is there anything really to stop him from faking the results. Supposedly they need to be concussion symptom free, headache free, be able speak clearly. All things that someone wanting to make sure they play the following week would seem to be easy to fake. Understand they are messing with their own well being, likely if a regular season game, they may admit, yes I still have a slight headache. But for a playoff game could see most players faking it and telling everyone, I feel fine, 100%! Recall the Bills 1st SB, in the last minute or so, Kelly took a hit that was bad enough forced the Bills to use a TO so Kelly could figure out where he was. Likely these days he'd have never finished the game. If they hadn't needed to call that TO, may have been able to use that extra time instead at the end to get a couple extra plays in and gotten closer for the kick.

I was kind of thinking the same. Actually kind of small looking all around. Wife looks about the same size.

Corrected!!

Good God I stopped reading after the 3rd line. There is something called a carriage return!

I do wonder if Brees problem yesterday was still the rib injury. Granted his arm was looking weak all season, but yesterday looked real bad. Watching on TV could actually see the difference in speed between his passes and Allen's as to fitting into tight windows. The one good thing about Brady winning yesterday is it makes it easy for me to decide who to root for in next weeks NFC championship game.

He also was worth having the first half of the season as there was a lot of new players on the roster on the D line and Epenesa was still a rookie with no training camp or pre season. He likely helped the new guys learn the system quicker.

When you look at the overall success rates of draft picks, I'm sure you can find the same level of lower and undrafted players on every team. I will agree it is rather unusual to see them all in one position group.

Exactly, not only assistants, but just starting a month behind everyone else.
