I was begining to wonder if I was only one reading this thinking his retirement is just around the corner.

Josh Allen > Aaron Rodgers

He was there for the first day, before they actully took the field and the press was there in force. Once the cameras packed up and left he disappeared. Classic team player.

We did not address our lack of depth at long snapper.

Great!!!!

From what I read on PFT today, Randolph is in neogtiations with the Vikes on a longer term spread the payment out deal, although it said they are still far apart and may not actually reach a deal, the Vikes may not be actively shopping him until the talks fall through.

At least he will get first team reps this year and not start 3rd on the depth chart with a rotation, that plus a better chance our receivers in camp will still be on the team in December should help alot.

RIP Pancho, strength and peace to you and your family.

This is all part of the NFLs bigger picture of where they see the future of attendance. From ripping out seats in favor of more expensive corporate boxes to PCLs. They want the elite and corporate sponsors to be the ones to actually attend the game, sold as a status symbol as the place to be, as the Cowboys stadium is the prime example, pay a fortune, sip a Chardonnay and be seen while pushing the Joe lunch pails home to watch on Sunday ticket, stream, or on national broadcast to keep veiwership up for the big bread and butter t.v. contracts.

How can you accurately access a player if you have no tape of his touchdown celebrations?

I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but, if Tom Brady was so talented why didn't Michigan play him more instead of going with Henson? There are players that show talent and potential that may not have been on full display for four years but observate scouts see attributes that can be used to make their team better.

That's a good question, one I don't have an answer for, but curious to see what Beane does today.

Well, he certainly knows how to start up a new football league.....I'll give him that much.

It all aligned well, an exceptional talent and a position of need falling to us at 9, couldn't have asked for a better scenario.

If there's a run on QBs, Oliver, if not he'll be gone then Hock, Risner in the 2nd

The needlepoint is a reach! Better value in treading up for the Ming dynasty vase!

Beane will have such masterful draft haul, that Brady will see the writing on the wall and abruptly announce his retirement.

Augie, that's pretty much the point I was trying to make, I think you're just more articulate than I am!

I agree with you they'll be better, after last year I have no doubt. I just wonder how quick they'll gel and get to thier potential.

Auburn Virginia game was awesome!

I've been lamenting this for a while, we brought a bunch of fresh blood in for our O line and I applaud Beane & co for that, but from what I see is alot of "flex" players and the possibility of another round of mix and match going on during OTAs and camp like last year. Could this be a systemic problem? Or does our new O line coach and O coordinator have a plan of who will be their starters and whose depth? Or will we be fiddling with the line through week 3 or so? Help me out because I haven't slept well for weeks because of this.

There were several teams with bad OL this year...Az, Minn, Jets, Us....and very few quality linemen out there so the price was gonna be high for teams truly committed to improving their offense, I don't think we paid any more than any 'attractive market' team would've paid, Beane was just quick and decisive.

I think we all can still painfully remember how bad our special team play was last year, good to see the FO working to address it in addition to our offense.

I just hope our new OL coach can get the right 5 starters set and sync them up early.

I would say his most impressive move was fixing the salary cap mess, the rest remains to been seen.
