^^^Jim not being an uber fan of designed runs would place him squarely in the category of many other posters here who feel similarly. How much grief did many of us, myself included, shovel Daboll's way for constantly throwing Josh to the wolves even in situations/game circumstances where it felt forced or was flat out unnecessary? Josh is big boy, he can handle the decision making/feel for when it's best that he takes off running, invariably picking up chunk yards which we all can applaud...but the designed keepers are not normally as effective and expose Josh to more hits than he otherwise would have to take, imo. Anyway, Jim is entitled as much to his opinion as anyone else around here, actually more so than pretty much most of us armchair QB's who've never lived it in the NFL.
The designed keepers near the goal line are extremely effective. There is a reason why he has 31 rushing TDs already and why he is the only player in NFL history with a plethora of rushing TD related numbers in multiple seasons

I respectfully disagree. It's a true shame what happened to Sharpe because he definitely had Hall of Fame talent, but carrying your team to back to back Super Bowl victories and winning league MVP isn't done by just any Joe Schmo. Terrell Davis was a rare breed of athleticism, *speed and power at the RB position.
Well, the PFR HOF Monitor agrees with you as Terrell Davis is at a little over 100 which is 10th amongst all RBs
His playoff numbers are amazing...5.6 YPC over 8 games.

I voted no, but I don't think there's really a big deal between them playing a series or two and not playing. I think people make a mountain out of a mole hill on the difference between those two possibilities.
Until someone gets a season ending injury. Then they are making a mountain out of a mountain.

People always question Terrell Davis but never Gale Sayers.
Davis is a 2-time Super Bowl Champ (and came up BIG in both) and a large part of the reason Elway has any rings at all. He's a 3-time first team all pro, 1998 League MVP, made the 90s all decade team, has a career average of 4.6 ypc...
Yes, his career was cut short by injury, but he was undoubtedly an elite talent that played like it on the field and under the brightest lights.
The argument is under Shanahan they took UDFAs and turned them into 1000 yard rushers so it was scheme more than player.
Davis was a very good player but if he is in Sterling Sharpe should have been in way before. Sharpe is far more elite talent wise than Davis was.

But, I also thought Boselli played more like 7 years and didnt realize it was only 5. So now that I have seen that, I would say none of the ones who got in should have made it and there are 5 better choices on the semifinalist list than these 5 guys.
Sterling Sharpe should be in...it is a travesty these dudes with shortened careers make it in while he is still waiting.

Why? The second string defense is probably better than at least 10 teams starting defense.

There isn't. At least not after Saturday.
I'm not sure our second string defense that was out there isn't better than several teams starting defense. That's scary.

Daboll and shoen definitely following the McDermott/Beane blueprint for building a team. This all sounds so farmiliar with Carolina 🤔
Except we are way way better than Carolina was at the juncture we were poaching all their players so they should be getting better players.

Speaking of Bleu Cheese that doesn't suck...I was at the Mars Cheese Castle in Kenosha, WI this weekend and they had a block of Bleu cheese out to sample with crackers...
To die for...I almost ate the whole sample plate by myself...might have been the best bleu cheese I have ever eaten(and I've eaten a LOT).
Also got some fresh and fried cheese curds but as good as those were they couldn't compare to that.

McCloud will get claimed for sure he is a promising prospect.
Cam Lewis always delivers and shows up when his number is called. I think he makes the 53 this year and he deserves it. Hard working, tough, playmaker with special teams ability.
Cam Lewis from his first year here until now is virtually unrecognizable as a player...he has improved so much it's not even funny.

In 2 out of 3 years, within a few minutes of winning a super bowl and an NFC championship game are pretty far
The problem is they should have won that Superbowl going away if he played anything close to a good level.

agree not feeling the love for OJ Howard or Stevenson.
Howard is super slow with stone hands: Sweeney can get better and josh likes to pound beers with him-good locker room guy
Stevenson has not shown me anything except dropped balls and being hurt-CFL guy
just looked it up: $3.5MM against the cap one way or another- he's staying and he is stealing
Stevenson pretty much a guaranteed IR stash at this point.

I did a search and do not see this being discussed anywhere else on the boars. If this is in some weird catch all topic that I am supposed to know about, I don't see what that would be so I am posting it in a new thread. Feel free to move it if you feel the need to.
This article is interesting...basically suggests Jimmy G changed once he got his big contract and went MIA during off seasons not returning texts or calls from teammates, coaches or front office members of the 49ers for weeks and weeks and weeks.
Made the 49ers question how much his heart was in it as the franchise QB and turned them sour on him over time as it continued to happen every offseason.
If so...perhaps his attitude and perceived lack of commitment is what is getting him shipped out more than his play and constant injuries.

I'm not so sure they aren't keeping 3 TEs and even if they only keep 2, I don't know that Howard is beating Sweeney out...
Sure he might be ahead of him on the depth chart now but if the Bills think Sweeney has room to grow and Howard doesn't offer them much upside, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Howard get cut. That type of thing happens a lot around the NFL.

Deion Sanders complains the Hall has become a watered-down free-for-all and thinks there should be a special room for him and a very few select others. https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/atlanta-deion-sanders-football-hall-of-fame-braves-dallas-cowboys-jackson-state
I tend to agree. I watched him closely when he played. He couldn’t really tackle but it was impossible to separate from him. The original lock-down corner. Add to that his return game and there are very few in his category. That’s not even counting the Primetime aspect. Last career pick six against the Bills in his mid 30s.
I think Darrell Green would take some exception to that.

Yeah, you're probably right. But I think NE is going to be worse than people think this year.
Me too...I think they are going to take offensive football back 30 years

Thugs gonna thug, right?
Shameful. It’s Youth football, not that adult football would make a difference; but the idea that you can role model a better life for children seems lost on these fools. Hopefully, justice is served, but you know, he’s got millions and is a former “star”, so it won’t.
I played in a flag football league for a while and there was a team of thugs from the inner city that got into a fight with themselves during a playoff game...it was like a bench clearing brawl but only their own team as we just stood on the field with the refs and watched incredulously.
Not sure what it was over but we were trouncing them like 28-6 with a few minutes to go and I think the one guy was pissed because he wouldn't let him play QB and the other dude kept throwing INTs

Colts OL is lousy. They won't win 10 games like that. Ryan won't survive 9 games
Their LT looks good though. Fast feet, shifting balance and good vision to mirror his defender
Whoever 55 is for us reminds me of a young Hughes. Runs wild, over pursues, doesn't get himseld into a winning outcome despite "being in the backfield" and "making pressure."
I did not watch them game. Just listened. On the few clips I have seen I don't see the Colts winning more than 9 games.
So your season outlook based on a game you didn't watch, which was the first preseason game in which not all players played(namely JT)?
If there could be a more meaningless statement that could be made, I'd like to hear it.

Bills Cutdowns (update - down to 80)
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by Big Turk
McDermott:
Just hit the first game against Indy
On a mission tryin' to find Mr. consistency
Seen a whole lot a ballers, ain't no need to keep
A corner on the roster who can't cover deep
And if you know what I knoooowwww...
Just tryin' to get better every day...(clap clap clap)
And if you can't make a plaaaaaayyyyyy...
Then Me and Beane will have to regulate...
