My one question for the Mario thing has been this - he wasn't all in, etc etc - played in meaningless games, etc etc. But he went 2% and Jerry went 150%...and they both got 5 sacks, leading the team. So were there other players not "all in" or am I missing something?

I get that the feelings toward Mario are of the "what did he contribute variety", but for a guy who did nothing, tying the team lead for sacks (5) with Hughes, who can do no wrong (outside of personal fouls, offsides, etc) now is an interesting turn. Getting a rookie at 5T/4i and/or MLB is asking that person to learn the "whole defense" instead of just their positions as Whaley mentioned in one of those blog articles yesterday is a big ask. And then adding in say a Pace, who had 3 sacks last year at age 35?
Seems like a lot of bandaids that are expected to cover over Rex not being as flexible as I thought he'd be with his system. -
Glad to see some enjoyed. I made edits to reflect the first one by JR - but if you have more here's what I used! Link

I will politely disagree, citing a former mobile quarterback and how he developed. - http://blog.sfgate.com/49ers/2014/11/21/steve-young-and-the-art-of-molding-a-mobile-quarterback/
A few excerpts:
When did the light bulb go on for you?SY: Well, I was throwing the ball a lot (at BYU), so I had some concepts that were taught to me by (quarterbacks coach) Mike Holmgren in college. But I also ran around like crazy. Ironically, it was in the USFL with (Hall-of-Fame coach) Sid Gillman. People don’t remember that Sid Gillman was my coach. He was an old crotchety guy, but he was the first one to basically say, ‘You can’t just run around.’ … I remember, he literally tied my feet up. He got a rope and said ‘OK, you can’t go anywhere. What are you going to do? You can’t move. What’s your next plan?’ So that got me thinking about that.
When you ask me about when the light went on, he started me thinking about it. And the truth is, it really started when Bill (Walsh) got hold of me. Because when Bill got hold of me I remember him pulling me aside and saying ‘Steve, nobody knows where you are.’ And I’d go run for 10 yards, or I’d scramble around and throw the ball for a nice completion or something and he’d say, ‘That’s great. But nobody knows where you are. And the truth is, if you really want to make the most of it — get everything out of the play that I call. You left early. You didn’t explore every avenue or option. And people need to know where you are.’ And I remember thinking ‘Oh, crap. I better be where everyone expects me to be. And do everything that everyone expects me to do with this play. I’ve got to exhaust it.’
SY: That’s the problem. You have to have the right combination – Sid Gillman, Bill Walsh. You have to be in the right place with people that are really capable of teaching and forcing this issue. Rather than taking this great talent that you have and just saying, ‘Hey, let’s go work with this talent.’ You really have to have some real religion around this. And not everybody does, I don’t think. So that’s one pretty big filter that keeps people from doing this. And then a lot of young players, I could listen to Sid and Bill and I say, ‘OK, I get it, I get it.’ But then I’d get on the field and the ball’s got to move. It’s got to go. So because of that, you tend to not get this accomplished. And you may not be on the field long enough to master it. But I can see the truth in it.SY: I do. But the hard part is – even for someone that’s played a long time – you’re never quite sure what they’re being taught. The fear I have is that coaches say ‘I’m not going to worry about all this development. I’ve got a guy that’s good at these things and I’m going with it.’ So I really hold the quarterback accountable, even though he’s not being asked to do all that.
But I’ve got to believe that Greg (Roman) and Jim (Harbaugh) are committed to this type of a process. I do see Colin doing some of that. But as a young player, that’s the hard part. He’s in the middle of a city, and a team and a locker room that knows ‘We should be in the Super Bowl.’ So it’s like, ‘OK, I’ve got to develop this new thing and I’ve got to take to take my team to the Super Bowl. So I’m going to do the things I’m really good at right now, rather than the things I might be good at later on.’
Thoughts?

https://vine.co/v/OiH06vArWL5 Here's a link of the Endzone shot of the flinch. As you'll see, it was quite easy for defender to jump / ref to call it false start.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned that Watkins not blocking the corner led to said fumble being a thing...

OC,
Your link worked and I believe both are right. See that yellow line between the green and the white of the sideline? The players are supposed to be behind that, and the coaches are supposed to be the only ones in front of the yellow line. So, technically while the ref running into the green was horrible coordination, Smith shouldn't have been over that line. Typically it's the get back coach's job to keep that area clear:
http://cowboysblog.dallasnews.com/2010/12/cowboys-get-back-coach-will-be.html/
Team personnel in the bench area must observe the zone restrictions in the three areas — (1) the first border or white stripe; (2) the second border; and (3) the player area. Violations of the zone restrictions are subject to fine at the discretion of the commissioner and game officials have been directed to call unsportsmanlike conduct penalties when warnings to clear the first border areas are not heeded. Safety and officiating access are the prime consideration
First border — The only persons allowed in this solid white six-foot (minimum) area on a continuous basis during the game are the Game Officials and the chain crew; no coaches or players.
Second Border — Extends to solid yellow line within the bench area that is six feet from the solid white border. Within the bench area, the only persons allowed within this second border on a continuous basis during the game are the head coach, assistant coaches involved in calling signals, assistant coaches in charge of substitutions, and small groups of situation substitution players ready to be sent into the game immediately. No other players are allowed in the second border.
Players & Bench Personnel — Except for those persons allowed in the first and second borders, all other persons with bench credentials and all players not in the game at the time shall remain in the bench area behind the second border.

Through a quick Google search, I couldn't find two NFL teams that haven't made the playoffs in 14 years.
Found it for ya~
Longest is 25 years, followed by the Steelers with 24.

Why is he being called Kujo?
Kouandjio (Kwan-Joe) isn't that hard to phonetically say...
-
It's guaranteed for injury only until something like the 1st - 3rd day of the league year next year. So, it costs literally nothing to exercise it now, negotiate toward a deal, and if he turns out to continue to be late/not "all in" whatever that means, you can cut him after SuperBowl. I don't see where the issue is in executing it.

In a statement released on Friday, Jackson denied having any gang-ties. The Los Angeles Police Department backed up Jackson's statement by saying they don't necessarily think Jackson has any ties to gangs and they definitely don't think he's been involved in any gang-related killings.
"It's kind of like 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.' When people grow up in neighborhoods where you have gang involvement, you don't have to look too far before you find a connection to a connection," LAPD Homicide Det. Chris Barling told the Philadelphia Daily News. "Now, how sinister that connection is, our position is that's for others to judge."

Evans seems to be exactly what they need, and on top of that would be able to be fit into very important down and distances (red zone) where Bills struggled with a 6'7" TE. Adding a 6'5 WR to that can only help, especially a jump ball specialist.
For round 2, Crichton, ASJ or Tiny Richardson would fit the Bill(s)
-
Seems like one of the first things they mentioned when signing Williams for guard was that he can help with the screen game, one of Spiller's strengths. With the addition of the Sr. Off Asst, I would doubt they'd move away from making one of their best weapons more effective.

If you're a HC with a DC background, you might not want an tenured DC with an established philosophy running your defense. You might want someone younger/less established who you can teach your philosophy to.
They served together in Dallas, where they ran 3-4 and 4-3 (Zimmer as DB coach then DC, Edwards as LB coach). So I think it's a little more of a philosophical agreement with a colleague of 10+ years than a teaching of a system to a "younger/less established" coach. Remember, in addition to the Bills making this "mistake" of hiring Edwards as a DC, the University of Florida and now Zimmer have.
Given that this would be tilting at windmills I'll leave this be, but given the roster the Bills had at the time and the edict from on high to get to a 3-4, I can't fault the guy and haven't.
-
If you look at the interviews post hire with Buddy and Chan, they both claimed they wanted him to. Edwards had experience with both 4-3 and 3-4, but if your boss(es) want a 3-4....

On the all-22 Graham is getting open deep. So how is it his fault he's not getting the ball and 'not cutting it'?
-
So Graham has been established (behind Mario, then Stevie) as the next player to run out of town? Got it.
-
And Branch was a 2nd too I think.
-
If they play to the level that their predecessors (Bears, Ravens, Jets) have/did under the Ryans, they won't need one.
-
He also spun the ball after his TD, which should've been a penalty. This kid is gonna run out of chances.
They apparently amended it to you can't do any of the celebrations listed a week ago at an opponent. You can still salute, spin, point, etc as long as ref doesn't interpret you're doing it at a player.

Good chatting with you today Astro! Keep up the great work!

If you watched the first round of the NFL draft Thursday night, you might have wondered how the league had ready-made No. 1 jerseys with the players’ names across the shoulders.Were they Velcro nameplates? Were the picks made far in advance?
No, it was a little NFL magic, with an assist from Nike.

I always look at this fandom as anything in life - On any trip (season) the pessimist may be right, but the optimist will enjoy the ride regardless.
Rob Quinn Breaks Down the Rex Ryan Defense
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
I'd also add in, doing these with Rob as a guy that loves Rex's defense but also thinks he didn't do as much as he could with the talent he had - the checks are hard. I mention that towards the end of the video - the amount of late shifts and adjusting the defense has to do means the MLB/S and the line have to make calls. Too often those calls were late because the call in was late, which led to the scheme itself becoming moot.
