Speaking of buying items, I’m at Topps, anyone want me to grab them a “smells like Josh” candle? They’re $19.99.
I'm holding out for the Josh bathwater soap.

My take:
There are no good options to pay for what I want and only what I want (Bills games) out of market. Could I pay for the full streaming package, sure. Could the owners pay for their stadiums fully with the revenue from their business operations, yes. Do they, no. I can't blame them, our elected representatives allow them to do that. It would certainly be the moral thing for the owners to do but they want to maximize profits. I take the same approach here, I'm just trying to maximize my profits and doing my fiduciary duty to myself.

It seems like we could have desire for a large safety/small linebacker because they have tried recently with Cine and Ciarlo. Don't know if it makes sense at this time as part of the 53 and I doubt he would want to sit on the PS.

It’s not a schtick, it’s logic. Poyer knows this defense extraordinarily well. He can mentor a second year guy. Unless you’re the type who thinks every second year guy should know all there is to know about football. Which is of course ridiculous.
It's a similar crutch to try and understand why the team does things. It seems that the coaching staff does not trust Bishop and probably the rest of the safety room enough. Why else would he be here? There's been a whole off season for mentoring/learning. Not saying it's it's a death knell for Bishop but it's not ideal. We need him this year.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was for Hancock also, possibly more so for him. It really is Rapp and not much else there right now.
Could be, just seems like Rapp and Hamlin should know the defense well enough to mentor the younger players. Not that they're athletically the best or the best players but they should be able to mentor. I get that the PS allows this type of move but it signifies some smoke from some type of issue for me.

Sit with Bishop in each practice and film session.
This additional "help" for Bishop every year seems to be the new "Edmunds is only 21" schtick.

He was totally stiff at Arkansas too. I've never been able to see what other folks are seeing with him.
Yeah, his 1v1 tape from the Senior bowl was bad - and it looks just like what happened tonight. Bad footwork, bad leverage, bad football. Hopefully he can pick up some counter moves and a lot better balance while hand fighting. Seems a way off for him though. If he works in the off season as Josh did, he has a chance.

You do know that some guy named Mike on X said Moore will probably get cut.
Josh has his Thad Brown and EJ has his Mike on X

So will no wind in the new stadium take away a key advantage in the playoffs?
No - The better the conditions for Josh the better we are.

if you don’t think it’ll work out, I think there’s something to be said for skipping Rodgers, trading watt for a bounty and committing to move up aggressively to get your guyas a bills fan, we watched this play out for 20 years. In my opinion I’d rather keep taking real swings than chasing maybe getting a wild card
I don’t look to the browns as being a data point any strategy being sound/unsound really
I agree with you Saint. I think this contract will fit with a rookie qb contract and I assume the steelers have determined they have a good chance to get a decent rookie next year.
I will say the Khan/Tomlin regime seems to be closer to managing the team via a Madden game mindset than I've ever seen from the steelers. I think ownership is the actual issue though and it will be interesting to see how the fan base reacts if the next two-three years are bad.

TJ Watt >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> James Cook
Honestly, did anyone think Watt wouldn't get a new deal from Pittsburgh?
It will be interesting to see the details, Watt is entering the Miller zone we just experienced.

I feel a need to be reassured by the board. I get a creeping fear - which can only be based on some weird, deep-seated prejudice -- that Cole Bishop may well lack the toughness to be an NFL strong safety. Maybe he looks a little bit too much like a choirboy. Maybe he is too handsome and I am secretly jealous. I am 100% rooting for him. I know he has the height, weight and speed. But I look at him and think "likely to be scheme sound." No, please! I want to look at him and say "geez, I would sure hate to be a running back and see that animal flying downhill at me. Snot flying, drool dripping, that dude is going to wreck someone." I want to think - wide receiver over the middle? Not worried about it, Bishop will get there and lay the MoFo out. They may complete one, but it will be VERY expensive for them.
Tell me I am stupid, a hater or just off base. I really liked the pick when they made it, I am hoping he grows into a silent assassin on the back-end. Even if he is scheme sound too (and I know he wasn't always that last year either). Let's go Cole - cheering for you, and want to feel stupid for doubting you. I may have to buy a Bishop jersey just to exorcise my doubts. Thoughts?
Sounds to me like you're projecting Zach Wilson on him. I think if he's got the mental part down, which seems to at least be improved, you should be able to stop that projection because he will be playing with a little more speed. I am hoping for Forrest/Bishop by the halfway point and we never look back.

I have Ingram on the team because I think he’s the primary backup at slot corner. He is also a key special teams player, especially if Lewis is cut. Last year Morris, Gilliam, Ingram and Lewis were our special teams snap leaders. Morris is already gone. I don’t think Beane is going to part with both Lewis and Ingram.
When I did my draft review I came away more impressed with the Lundt pick. I wonder if it could come down to Lindt vs Ingram for the 53rd roster spot. If Lundt has a good camp Beane may worry he won’t be able to sneak him onto the PS.
Ok, that makes some sense with Ingram, but I still think he still is in danger.
I think Beane will try to flip those Olineman for day 3 picks as he has in the past. I call it the Beane comp pick. Seemed like Grable was preferred over VanDemark last year, I think I remember Grable was active while VanDemark sat so Lundt could take VanDemark's spot.

3 - DE - Landon Jackson - 72nd overall
4 - DT - Deone Walker - 109th overall

6 - TE - Jackson Hawes - 173rd
7 - CB - Dorian Strong - 177th
8 - OT - Chase Lundt - 206th
9 - WR - Kaden Prather - 240th
Here is how I project the roster with these selections
Offense (23) - Draftee, Underline = FA Signee

RB/FB (4) - Cook, Davis, Ty Johnson, Gilliam (FB)
TE (3) - Kincaid, Knox, Hawes Cut - Davidson
WR (5) - Coleman, Shakir, Samuel, Palmer, Shenault - Cut Shavers, Prather
OL (9) - Starters - Brown, Edwards, McGovern, Torrence, Dawkins
Depth - SVPG, Anderson, Grable, Van Denmark, Cut - Lundt, Green
Defense (27) - Draftee, Underline = FA Signee
DE (5) - Rousseau, AJE, Solomon, Bosa, Jackson
DT (5) - Oliver, Jones, Carter, Sanders, Walker
LB (5) - Milano, Bernard, Williams, Andreessen, Ulofoshio - Cut Spector
CB (7) - Benford, T Johnson, White, Hairston, Strong, Ingram Codrington (KR) - Cut Jackson
S (5) - Rapp, Bishop, Hamlin, Forrest, Hancock - Cut Lewis
Specialists (3)
Bass PK, Camarda P, Ferguson LS
Suspended: 6 games for PEDs
Ogunjobi DT
Hoecht DE
I'm thinking Ingram isn't safe. Seems like he should have been playing in the playoff game instead of Elam but I didn't see him in there. I don't remember if he was injured but I didn't think he was.

Lol this was unexpected
My WR dream just died, but night is not over.
And again we gained points with the trade, it cost only one 5th.
could be beane thinks shavers and virgil are better than what's available.

That boy looks stronger than train smoke, but he might need some more counters if he's going to be effective as a pass rusher.
Totally agree. If I'm a OT in the SEC I'm playing the outside move until he proves he can counter. Seems like he has enough athletic ability to add those moves so hopefully he can. I thought I heard on the broadcast he was around 280 now, so maybe adding a few pounds and talking to Bruce about his spin move will up his passrush game.

I look at it like this:
If one of the 15 - 20 or so "first round talents" get within striking distance of a move up, Beane seems to do that. Since we don't have a third and are picking lower in the round, it seems like the value for a sizeable move won't be there this year. I think Beane values the draft picks even more now that the salary cap accounts for Josh, as opposed to prior when there was more money available for free agents; he has to get more value from the draft class. I think any one of the first three picks could be in play for a trade down, but I think picks 3-7 have a higher than normal chance of moving up. This year it will be expensive to move up in the mid rounds, but I think Beane will find some value in players to do it and we have the ammo.

Key words "up to". I'm willing to bet there's extremely little in terms of guarantees.
Seems like the the Bradberry visit put a little gas on the negotiations.

Don't know if you've looked at vseebox or superbox, I believe they provide local OTA stations so after the initial cost you can get local buffalo channels for example.
