Lt. Dan's Revenge

The "Let him do CJ Spiller stuff" is epic :lol: .

You say that with such conviction, and I really don't know why. What has Weeden proved? Trent and CJ are both great backs, but I'm still taking Spiller every day of the week. Both D's look very improved, that one is a total toss up until we see them play regular season games.

Sure, why not? At the very least, maybe he can reveal some of the Pats* week one plans .

I consider Mayock one of the smartest football pundits in the business, so for me this is welcome news.

This isn't the University of Florida opening up the season with Roast Beef Tech before they go into SEC play. This is the NFL. NO coaches "look ahead to the next week". They cannot afford to. And if they did, their teams would get smoked. Grow up, Peter Pan.

Anything from Jay-Z, Eminem or Notorious BIG. Beyond that, I could probably do without rap. Edit: I also enjoy a lot of stuff from Nas.

How do I stop CJ Spiller?

Awful news. Arguably the most indispensable player on this roster.

This is a good point. Their off-site programs like Gameday do have a lot more substance than anything you see in-studio. College Football Gameday is a great show, and has been for 20 years.

This ^. And lapses in coverage happen all the time for Whitner. They're just not always during the most watched television broadcast of the year.

I was referring to your odd comment prior to this one, but to answer your question, I don't "Hate" ESPN as a whole, I have just grown increasingly frustrated by their lack of quality insight on NFL-related issues. NFL Network, PFT, PFF and others have all passed them in this category. And how would you know if I'm "always" on their site, Loaf?

.....Huh?

Without quoting your post, Bandit, where is Gilmore on your list? He is already an infinitely better player than Donte Whitner ever was.

According to Pro Football Focus, Whitner gave up more touchdowns (8) than any safety in the league last year. And this is on a great defense. The perception of his worth is based solely on the success of the parts around him. He is not at all a good football player.

They seem to think that Donte Whitner is the 64th best defensive player in all of football. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9492362/2013-nfl-player-rankings-defense-70-61 They must have missed that game in early February. Or most any other for that matter.

This is a discouraging sign for the state of the NFL.....

That's some absurd speculation right there. WTF does Ed Werder know anyways? Isn't he camped out at the Cowboys facilities like every other year?

I think that's a bit strong. Leodis has always shown the ability to run stride for stride with any receiver in the league. He's often in good position. His problems come when it's time to make a play on the ball. I believe that this can be taught. The speed and hip fluidity to stay with a receiver cannot. I'm hoping that this new coaching staff can do something to improve his ball skills. If they can, McKelvin can still be a good corner in this league.

And there ya have it, the Bills are back. BAM!

Now lets shore up that #2 corner spot and this D could be scary good....

How did you possibly get Ray Rice at #18 overall? That's absurd....

I'm open for suggestions at corner....

I'm only in my mid-twenties, and I remember when I was young and just starting to get real into the Bills, Spielman was my favorite and the first jersey I can remember having. NO ONE played the game harder than that guy. Quintessential pro. Quintessential human being. He's doing a lot of good in honor of his late wife.

Never said they did. The point is that if you were rarely seeing downfield passes throughout the entirety of training camp, then maybe some concern is justified. However, they are happening all the time, so it isn't justified to base your concern on two preseason games without them.

The fact that some people are citing "Lack of deep passes" is laughable to me. Why? Because there hasn't been a 50 yard bomb in either of the first two preseason games yet? Goodwin seemingly can't go a single practice without catching one, and Graham and Rogers have too, so obviously it's a big part of the playbook. Not a worry for me what so ever.
