I read today Dalmar asked for a trade -specifically to the Steelers. Doesn’t he realize no team would trade for him?

Are we really going to miss any of the departed players?

This is a time-tested move. Namath was more interested in the spotlight than winning for the Jets and threw ridiculous game-losing interceptions. Weeb Ewbank decided to make him a team captain and his interceptions AND TD throws substantially dropped. Result? Upset the highly favored Colts to win the Super Bowl and give full credence to the eventual merger of the Leagues. Obviously, this doesn’t happen a lot.. -

Morse, as an understated true leader and player will be missed imo. Also, the League-wide respect for the Hyde & Poyer tandem will be sorely missed. Al these losses will have negative impact on the teams’ performance, even if only subtly.- 106 replies

Davis was already replaced. His name is Kahlil Shakir. He clearly became WR2 by late season. Thanks for SOME magic moments, Stefon.

That’s a damn shame. But he IS a phuggin headcase. Could have been a ring of honor/all time best, but he can’t get out of his own way and management finally threw in the towel.

Does Josh Allen still work as hard in the offseason?
Chandler#81 replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
If rumors are correct, this is the 2nd year in a row he’s gonna be a Dad. So yeah, he’s still at it hard in the offseason. -
Yes, the naughty word function caught your post. But it’s easy to guess what you wrote 🤣

Dalton Kincaid’s 1st season highlights
Chandler#81 replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
You’re certainly entitled to your opinion. I'm entitled to disagree. He needs to beef up and work on his moves. I took a completely blind look at his rookie performance. Uneven -even though at times he shined. But Thanks, Dad.. This is all I’m saying 🤷♂️ -
Happy 50th Birthday Sean McDermott!

Now for the discussion part. It’s not an overly optimistic highlight reel. He was clearly great in college and Beane wanted this dimension for the team. However, for a pass catching TE, he had numerous drops and very rarely broke tackles. His TD production was -in a word, disappointing. But the pure talent was on display for most of the season. With Knox taking a pay cut recently, Dalton is now clearly TE1. But he can and needs to improve. He is a willing blocker though his relatively slight frame doesn’t scare anyone and is more of a ‘get in the way’ type blocker than physical blocker. While he made numerous eye-popping catches, he underwhelmed in contested catches where his size should have been a benefit. He displays deft footing but he doesn’t use this to break tackles when defenders dive at his lower legs. It was obvious by seasons’ end that if a defender was closing in on him, he was going to be tackled -even though there were opportunities to challenge the tackler with changing speed or direction, stiff arming or lowering his shoulder -something Knox is proficient at. I’m hoping these were discussed with him in his end of season meeting with coaches as aspects he needs to improve on. Bulking up a bit is essential, but also hand fighting, better body control to fend off would-be tacklers near him and more gumption/desire to finish the play in the Endzone. Yes, he set team records for catches by a TE and quickly became a starter. But to know the full history of the team, is to know TE has always been an afterthought. I can count on 1 hand our very best TE’s, from Warlick to -well, Knox.. The potential is certainly there, but the necessary upgrades to his skills are on him to develop. To me, he’s kinda like a ‘golly gee! This is great playing in the NFL!’ kid. I’d like to see more of a determined approach to his craft to realize his capabilities at this level. He isn’t there yet. What say you?

When we played Chicago on Fields’ 2nd preseason game of his rookie season, he was asked how long he thinks it’ll take him to learn the nuances of the pro game and for the game to slow down for him. He said ‘I already know it all and it’s already slow enough for me’. I knew then he wasn’t anywhere near bright enough for this. Certainly, he can run. But he’ll never be completely competent. Too damn dumb.🤷♂️ That’s why Chi-town traded him for a bag of jockstraps.
