  1. Yikes! He's the spitting image of Richie I...
  2. Given our defense -- and the intent they would force a 3-and-out deep in the opponents' zone -- McD was simply playing the odds. A lot of defensive-minded HCs think that way. Sean seemed to get more aggressive later in the year, which bodes well for this year...
  3. I charted every punt in the table above. Look for youself. Week 1: NYJ 40 yard line NYJ 35 yard line Week 2: NYG 40 yard line Week 3: CIN 40 yard line Week 4: NWE 42 yard line NWE 42 yard line NWE 42 yard line Week 5: TEN 43 yard line Week 8: PHI 45 yard line Week 11: MIA 44 yard line Week 12: DEN 48 yard line DEN 41 yard line DEN 41 yard line Week 13: DAL 45 yard line Week 14: BAL 41 yard line Week 16: NWE 47 yard line Week 17: NYJ 47 yard line
  4. He punted 17 times from inside the opponents 50. I'll bet not many punters had that many chances from across mid-field... Edit: he put 9 punts inside the opponents ten. Also, 26 fair catches.
  5. Yep. When we get to critiquing the punter, it means everyone else is either very good or they suck. In this case, everyone else is good. In the Moorman years, eveyone else sucked...
  6. He's an average NFL punter. The net yardage stat is a function of where he was punting from. Ranking third in number of punts inside the opponents' 20 tells you all you need to know about where many of his punts were coming from. McD's strategy was to pin the other team deep in their end and use our defense to force three and outs, thereby winning the field position game...
  7. It's Beane playing 3D chess. If Josh flames out this year, he can use Kumerow to entice Aaron Rogers to demand a trade here...
  8. Right now, it looks like a handshake and trading phone numbers on the way out the door...
  9. OT. I suppose it's juvinile of me, but everytime I see Chris Brown now I just break out laughing thinking about him wearing a dunce cap and sitting in a corner of Kim Pegula's office...
  10. LOL. Some expert... https://nflpickwatch.com/nfl/profile/456 364 - 402 - 29 47.5% LIFETIME ATS RECORD
  11. Sheil Kapadia of The Athletic has us winning the division: https://theathletic.com/2049506/2020/09/08/nfl-preseason-power-rankings-predicting-each-teams-record-in-2020/ 11. Buffalo Bills Take away every team’s quarterback, and the Bills probably have one of the five best rosters in the league. QB traditionalists have given up on Josh Allen, but he made significant progress from his rookie year to last season. Not all quarterbacks find success in the same way. Allen is never going to complete 70 percent of his passes. But if he can be more accurate downfield and hurt teams with his legs, the Bills have a chance to make a deep playoff run. The defense is well-coached and might be more talented than last year when it finished seventh in efficiency. Season prediction: 10-6, wild-card round
  12. Probably can't sign them until they take a physical, so let's see what happens now that they're in town...
  13. I've always enjoyed Peter's work, but sadly, this semi-retirement gig he's eased into reminds me of the end of Larry Felser's career. Both guys had/have forgotten more about the NFL than any of us will ever know. But their analysis and opinions just fell off the cliff as they worked less and had fewer contacts around the league. It's the natural progression of getting old and it will happen to all of us eventually...
  14. IDK. According to PFF, Miami had the worst O-Line in the the NFL in 2019. The same thing with Arizona in 2018. The odds of any QB succeeding in those sitituations are next to nil. Going to a better team like the Bucs with no pressure and getting to watch how the GOAT prepares and plays (even if Brady's a shell of his former self) will probably help Rosen as much as possible in an NFL setting...
  15. Its been four years since McBeane were in Carolina. With the average NFL player having a 2-3 year career, pretty much everyone they had a hand in drafting/developing has moved on. 'The Carolina Pipeline' will now likely become a quaint TSW meme...
  16. Park? No, I wouldn't. Wash and wax? Now that's another matter entirely...
  17. And not exactly a Murderes' Row of O-line help any place he played. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-offensive-line-rankings-all-32-units-entering-the-2020-nfl-season 32. MIAMI DOLPHINS There wasn’t much debate about the worst offensive line in the league last year, as Miami ranked last in both pass and run blocking — only one of the seven linemen with at least 330 snaps graded above 60.0. We could see as many as four new starters this season, though question marks still swarm. To me, that will be the secret sause that get's Allen over the hump in Buffalo. A young QB needs to be protected by a competent O-line while they learn how to play at this level. Having a better WR group certainly doesn't hurt either...
  18. Who cares about the replacement parts. I'm sure she'd still be fun to drive...
  19. It's still very nice but summer time traffic has grown exponentially, reducing it's charm to me. That's a problem everytime a "best place" rating shines a light on a small town not equiped to handle the influx of tourists...
