    At some point, it’s just Brady.  
     

    No WR seems to be able to do anything of note in this system. 
     

    Im all for getting to a point where our WR room is Gabe/Palmer on the outside, Shakir in the slot, Hardman as PR/KR speed option, Samuel existing and Coleman for whatever. 

    I just don’t know that I should expect anything different with a mid collection of WR musical chairs when every guy we have performs 50% less than their history indicates they can under Joe Brady. 

     

     

    I mean McDaniel in NE doesn't seem to have any issues getting his guys wide open and I wouldn't say that is a massive collection of talent. Sure they got Diggs, but he is a possession receiver for the most part now. Other than that they have a bunch of JAGs

    To me, Keon looks like the same player from last season, despite constantly hearing from the team how he stepped up his preparation and it showed out in camp. If that's true, why has that not translated into games?  Maybe if they committed to using him in the slot, where I think he belongs, we'd actually see more, but I simply don't think we're ever going to see it as long as they continue to try to make him into something he's not.

     

    He looked great against the Ravens in week 1. Where has that player gone?

    The only thing bad with this pick up at this point in the season is the amount of time he and Josh have to know each others tendency's, it was the same thing with Cooper last season they just didn't have enough time together to maximize their comfort level or trust with each other .

     

    I have always wondered why they didn't bring Cooper back, probably money but if given more time to jell I believe Cooper could have been much better than more than a few that are out there this season & as I said I feel this might be the same thing that could happen with Hardman 

     

    I hope not but Josh has no idea how he runs routes and Hardman has no idea what Josh likes so at the very least it's gonna take a minute for any kind of chemistry to develop but his speed is definitely (as long as Brady uses it the right way) is needed to open the field up or at least the threat of it .

     

    I hope it happens sooner rather than later !!! 

     

    Just have Hardman run deep and Allen throw the ball as far as he can and let him run under it. How hard can this be to try 2-3x a game? At least it will force the D to back off a little.

    They kinda already indirectly have without using those exact words. First asking questions about his production, now questioning the effort is basically asking that question and McD apparently continues to believe he's deserving of all the targets he gets. I and obviously many others at this point would disagree.

     

    My issue they are sometimes maddeningly slow to change when things aren't working and it seems obvious to people watching from the outside. It's like they believe they just need some extra time...and sometimes they are right, but often they are not and at some point the player needs to show some improvement.

    Since we’re going back to the future here, in 2018, after you brilliantly trade up for Josh Allen, why not use your other first round pick on a WR for him to throw to (DJ Moore, maybe) instead of trading up for a raw off-ball linebacker?  The WR room at that time was even worse than it is now…

     

    The dude that posted an all "0" stat line in one of the most WR friendly offenses in the NFL this past week?  I mean right now he has 30 catches for 403 yards, which is basically Coleman level production. Coleman's week 1 stat line of 8 for 112 is the best for either of them this year.

    Keon is a system player. He has to be in a system that takes jump ball shots in the red zone and even in that system he's not a #1. If he can't get separation then he needs to compensate more with his hands, and not catching over 60% of balls thrown his way on Sunday is a terrible signal. So why are we still starting him? Can a reporter ask that question in a press conference? 

     

    But he is terrible at jump balls right now, which was a strength of his in college. That's the biggest issue. Essentially what he did at the college level very well has not translated almost AT ALL to the NFL level.  YAC actually has probably been his best asset and we have seen that in multiple situations.

    I continue to believe Coleman is really just a big slot receiver but they keep trying to force that square peg into the round hole and we see the results. I get that we're not lacking in slot guys, but putting the slowest one in the room on the outside who always has a DB glued to his hip and expecting miracles isn't going to cut it.

     

    Agree, we have too many of the same player and there are only so many spots available for them at the same time. Kincaid, Shakir, Coleman, Samuel, Moore all fill the same role more or less. Palmer can be an outside guy but even he got a lot of production in the slot with the Chargers.

    I'd like to think it's not an ego thing, but it feels like Beane is sometimes trying to prove conventional wisdom wrong. Coleman is exactly what basically all major scouting reports said he was, yet Beane decided he knew better and that he was what this team needed.  It's either than or this team's scouting and talent evaluation leave a lot to be desired.

     

    I mean there are ways to more effectively utilize him, but if we aren't going to do it, we need to put someone else on the field that can play that role better.

    Sure. A lot of teams that arent perennial Super Bowl contenders. But we're supposed to be in the tier with the KCs and Phillys who always seem to find the star "pure football" players. They just have a better eye for it than we do.

     

    I don't disagree. Beane tends to pick more high floor, lower ceiling players than those teams who aim for the blue chip, boom or bust type players more. Although I think Kincaid, Hairston, Bishop and Walker have the potential to be those players in time and Cook has turned into one.

    Man that stings so much more! I appreciate McD and Beane, but we have to move on from them. They have proven that at best that draft second and third tier rate players that over achieve. There hasn't been one player that they drafted that is no longer on this team that is remotely any good,  outside of Edmunds, who is decent, but no star player.

     

    You could say that about a lot of teams.

  10. Then bench him and start working with different receiver packages. Reminds me of when we tried to force Kelvin Benjamin, Andre Holmes, etc and the other big body receivers that could never get open and as soon as we started putting Isaiah McKenzie, Robert Foster, etc on the field they started getting open. 

     

    Why Beane keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again with trying to force big body receivers that simply aren't good enough is maddening.

    Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't restructuring, kick the can down the road and create cap issues for the following years?  So that we never get a chance to catch up?  Like credit card debt?

     

    Yes, the key is to balance them. I think they try to stagger contracts in a way that they have way to open up cap space when needed each year. Obviously it's an inexact science but overall I think they have managed that part pretty well. Now in terms of who they have chosen to give big dollar extensions to? That might be up for debate. 

     

    Philly has a ton of void years hitting next year also, having 10 players totaling about $29 million...most are small, but Goedert is going to count $20.5 mil against the cap next year if they don't extend him. They've also got $43 million in Dead Cap Space next year.

  12. Eagles have to have the worst offense based on who they have at the skill positions and with an elite offensive line and it's not even close.

     

    I know GB defense played well but this is kinda par for the course for the Eagles.

     

    It's almost criminal for them to be this bad this often.

    Another great pick by BB. This franchise is pathetic. 

     

    Well some wanted Worthy or Legette, Coleman has more yards this year than both of them.

     

    Let's not pretend the other ones they could have picked are some kind of stars.

     

    McConkey was also never in play because they already had Shakir in the slot, so that's not really a valid argument.

  14. A few weeks ago Alex Singleton from the Broncos was randomly drug tested and it detected abnormally high levels of something called hCG or human chorionic gonadotropin. This raised a red flag and after further medical evaluations, he was diagnosed with testicular cancer and had successful surgery to have it treated. 

     

    They believe it was caught early enough that it should have minimal impact, with the doctors believing he should make a full recovery and will even be able to return to play later this season.

     

    So while NFL players might hate getting that visit at their locker after the game to go pee in a cup, it may just end up saving their life.

  15. Looks like an ugly weather day from the early forecasts...

     

    48 degrees winds 10-20 mph with higher gusts. Chance of rain 80%. Always a chance the rain holds off or ends earlier as it's still 6 days out, but not looking pretty as of right now.

    Hey Peeps on Medicare...  Anyone else get their Medicare Advantage Plan cancelled and you have to find a new one?  I've had a great one since April when I first got on and now the choices are slimmer and more expensive in co pays etc.  Current plan is Excellus Blue/Active (PPO).  Be interested in if others are getting the same notice.

     

    Mike

     

    PLEASE don't make this politics!

     

     

     

    My Dad got a notice that Kaleida would no longer accept his UHC plan in 2026 for Medicare Advantage so I spent the weekend delving into things and got him set up on Univera today...only for him to receive a letter in the mail from Kaleida this morning that it reached an agreement with UHC and would continue accepting it next year. 

     

    Went to medicare.gov and basically sorted thru all the options there.

     

    This sh!t should be illegal.

  17. It looks like they could free up about 23 million next year by designating Samuel and Knox as post June-1st cuts and also cutting Rapp who is in the last year of his deal next year, but since they are already almost 4 million over the cap next year, we would only have about $19 million to work with.

     

    Assuming there would be some other restructures and/or moves involved. 

     

    Have 5 void years hitting next year as well eating up cap space if we don't move to re-work those in Milano, Jones, Bosa, Epenesa, and McGovern. Would expect McGovern, Epenesa and Bosa to look to be extended... that would help lower those cap hits of roughly $15-16 million combined.  Milano and Jones are likely not returning and we are going to have to eat the cap hits of about $15 million total on them.

     

    So we have some levers to pull but we will have to work around some things.
