    Lazy take.  I'm not saying this signing excites me, mind.

    But the paradox of Breida was a very fast guy who saw >100 carries a year and 20 receptions a year for 3 years on a very good team that went to the Superbowl, but then could barely see the field in Miami.  Was he used up/injured/demotivated?  Or was it Miami?

     

    McKissic has struggled with injuries the last two seasons, but he's a legit receiving threat out of the backfield with 80 targets and 60 receptions per season the last two years, even WITH missing some games.  He's seen the field whenever healthy, and they've missed him when he's not.

     

    Almost 50% of his receiving yards are YAC and close to that for rush yards, so he might bring that YAC element that was missing from the short passing game as well.

     

    Hope we can "get him right" and keep him healthy though

     

    You should be excited. Makes the Bills even harder to deal with on 3rd downs now. Exceptional receiving back, good at pass pro, does a lot of things well.

     

    You might not be excited now but if he stays healthy you'll likely be excited once you see him playing.

    2nd string as will take Moss's spot.  Good 3rd down back with WR receiving skills and better blocker in pass pro than Moss

    Maybe better than last year but Moss as a rookie was one of the best pass pro backs I have seen in a long time. Dude blocked his man like it was Tecmo Bowl and had him tied up for 3 or 4 seconds

    Youre telling me the best option is an aging over the hill Roger Saffold? 
     

    At least someone else posted something sensible, that this is a move to satisfy Aaron Kromer. Which if true, I’m fine with. Someone to show the ropes of the system, have an anchor on the line who gets the concepts. 
     

    I still don’t like it.

     

    Made his first pro bowl last year, can't be that over the hill. Rams started the oldest LT in NFL history with Andrew Whitworth at 40 and won the Super Bowl, so not sure 34 is that old these days.

    Christian Kirk got 4 year $72M ($18M/yr) and up to $84M with incentives…wow, what’s Diggs gonna get?

    I told y’all he was never coming here, total pipe dream because he was gonna get paid.  But I was thinking more like $12m-$14m…but that’s way more than expected, that’s a lot of dough he just got.  

     

    I’m still confident we work a good deal for both parties with Diggs, but geesh these other receiver deals are blowing the WR market way up.  

     

    The key is the "worth up to" part...which likely means there are some incentives in there, some of which likely won't get hit. But still a big contract I am sure.

    I never could get too excited about the Williams hit.   I kept watching the replays, trying to see it as a cheap shot, and I look again just now, and mostly I think that Williams simply wasn't paying attention.   Everyone knew, long before that play, that it is important to know where Landry is, because if you ignore him, he's going to make a play.  

     

    On the same play, I don't think Poyer or Hyde would have been hit the same way.  

     

    The NFL could have used that as a training video for what constitutes a penalty for a crack back block against a defenseless player  The NY Post and just about anyone else watching that play disagrees wtih you.

    “Jarvis Landry was called for a personal foul for a hit on a defenseless player,” Mike Pereira, former NFL head of officiating, said on FOX, where he now is the rules analyst. “It was a crack-back block, and the player that is being blocked in a crack-back block is defenseless, so you can’t hit him in the head or neck area with a shoulder, helmet or forearm. This is clearly a foul and it was called.”
