    Lastly, let me just say: I am ALWAYS in favor of using 6th and 7th round picks on kickers and punters. The contributions you're going to get from a good kicker or punter (but especially kicker) over the course of their career likely FAR outweigh the contributions you're going to get from, say, a safety that only plays special teams.

     

    Especially with Beane's habit of collecting extra late-round picks.  Take a punter or kicker in the 6th or 7th and the only expectation is to bring them in for legitimate camp competition.  We have started to see that with the depth in the organization late round picks are no longer locks to make the team, and the chances of a punter beating out the incumbent are far more likely than a 9th string wideout.

    Land Clark is the zebra crew.  They had our game in Vegas last year.  They throw about 7 flags a game on each team. 

     

    Most significant call in last year's game was a 46 yard dpi against Poyer that led to a Raider td.

    I'm sorry, this is what popped in my head as soon as I saw the ref's name...

    Could also argue the most significant call in that Raiders game was the non-call when Allen was slammed to the turf and injured his shoulder.

    Might be able to get Stevenson a few snaps too if he’s activated 

    Sorry if it has been discussed elsewhere, but if the Bills do activate Stevenson (which I would like to see), who gets cut to make room?  Breida seems like a pretty logical choice to me.  With Stevenson back he would take over as our second return man and I'm not sure Breida offers anything more than our PS RB's.

    The punter is a problem.  He's not good at anything.  He doesn't have a strong leg, shanks as many as Bojo did, and he hasn't bee that good at pinning teams deep.  Bad signing so far.

    100%.  He makes every punt look a lot closer than it should be and then when he does get it off the adventure continues.  When he was brought in this offseason we were told about his prowess for pinning teams deep, but I haven't noticed him being substantially better than other punters so far in that regard.  I did hear it mentioned that McBeane liked the idea of special teams continuity and they have Bass, Haack and Ferguson all signed through the next three years, so hopefully we aren't stuck with pisspoor punting for another two and a half seasons just for the sake of a consistent holder...

    Feet can be overused like any other part of the body.  Even if that weren't the case, the more you use something the more chances you have for an accident, so it still actually is.

    No it's really not.  I'm sorry to disagree with you.  I'm a physician and what you are saying is just not correct.  

     

    Absolutely foot injuries can be due to overuse, just ask anyone who is a runner.

    Major blow because he is not someone you replace with a plug and play player. No team is going to stack the box for whoever replaces Henry. And Tannehill is not going to thrive without the threat of Henry keeping defenses honest.

    Jonathan Taylor keeps the defense honest.  Ezekiel Elliott keeps the defense honest.  Nick Chubb keeps the defense honest.  

     

    Derrick Henry makes a defense straight up cheat.  You can't replace that.
