Reading between the lines of Beane's comments about Shaq and Phillips earning the right to test FA, means he had little intention of signing them to market rate contracts. Phillips replacement is already on the roster (liuget and Taylor), Oliver will get bulk of snaps as 3Tech, and Harry is back. Letting 90 and 97 go also helps the comp formula for '21. Blow out FA $ on best available edge rusher and continue developing from within.

Did the President send this message in 2008?

But would they have the $20 needed to resign Yannick, or to even franchise him?

No thanks. I'd rather blow out the cash for a true edge rusher. Shaq and Murphy can be easily replaced in week 2-3 of FA at half the cost, or Johnson hitting film and weight room in the spring. PS - Spain is worth more to this team than those 2 DLs combined.

They can designate him as a Post-June cut at any time now, but the cap space isn't as big of an issue as roster planning. Because they're both average, at best, and they rotate. You don't spend $16 million for the equivalent of an average DE.

You can't pay him and Murphy $8 each next year to rotate.

One of the stories this morning says that US has evidence of Iranian radar locking in on the Ukraine jet.

Bon Iver sucks

There's where I saw it too. That was THE place for movies at the time.

Can you imagine a PC with him and Gase side by side?

He likely fell for the Pornhub scam.

He's disparaged the contributions vs benefits of member nations, not the idea of NATO. He's right on those accounts.

He hates NATO? That's a new spin.

I'm not going to argue the pass at the end of regulation. He got both hands on it, and should have held on. But the pass at the half was a totally different situation, where the DB made a tremendous play. He should have been flagged for DPI because the contact was early and affected Duke's motion. But it didn't get called and was a great defensive play. I'll gladly throw in Newton's laws of momentum in why it was a harder catch than people think. I think people are confusing the play at the end where Duke had both hands on the ball with the other one, where he could only tip it with his right hand to bring it in.

Ay caramba. I don't mind arguing whether Duke should have made a better attempt to position the left side of his body for the catch, which he possibly could have. But please don't argue that Conley's defense came into play only after Duke touched the ball. Look at Conley's right arm in this shot. He is preventing Duke from elevating his left side, WELL before the ball got there. That's why he never got both hands on the ball.

I've watched the video in slow motion several times. The ones to watch are from the sideline and endzone. Watch Conley's actions as well. He's the one who's preventing Duke from adjusting the left side of his body to get both hands on it.

That's the wrong angle to look at because it doesn't show Conley holding down Duke's left thigh before the ball gets there. Look at the more clear shot from a few pages back. Conley made a better defensive play than people give him credit for. He prevented Duke from putting both hands on the ball. There was a tip, not a bobble.

Sounds like you need to listen to your advice. Who posted the screenshot above? He doesn't bobble the ball. He tips it with his right hand and can't extend the left, because Conley is holding his thigh down. He is never really able to get his left hand on the ball. By definition, that's not a bobble.

Which makes it more imperative to run a better route than the lazy stutter step.

That's where you are wrong. The ball hit him in one hand, not two hands. Conley made a great play to prevent him from extending his left hand.

I make a distinction between not making a great catch and dropping the ball. Conley defended that pass very well to prevent Duke from getting both hands on the ball.

Everyone is missing a great play by Conley to prevent Duke from fully extending his left arm, which led to the bounce of Duke's right hand. Technically DPI, but would never be called. If you look at the replays from the EZ and sideline, you see Conley's right arm planted firmly on Duke's thigh as he's going up. I think that prevents Duke from making the catch with both hands. It was after that, where Conley hooks the left arm to stop the bobbled catch.

I'd say that he's an inconsistently good runner, as evidenced by the last play in Balt. We can apply many subjective characteristics to what a #1 WR is, but the simplest one is the team's approach to the position in the offseason. If you take a look at any offseason wish lists for the Bills, upgrading the WR position is priority #1 or # 2 on each one. That indicates that your current #1 WR is really a true #1 .

If you're adding Yanick that moves Murphy out of the starting rotation, and he's a very expensive backup for his production/age. I'd rather rework his deal to a more market value, or cut him and use the savings to resign Shaq. In any event, targeting an edge rusher should be a priority.

How in the world do Ukraine and Iran combine into a story on this particular day?
