I have silver on my temples, chest, arms and back...maybe on my butt, too, however it is difficult for me to tell. Fortunately, the top of my head appears to be a basic olive skin toned color, so that's staying young. Are you hitting on me? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bugs me about that Common, and I know I am very naive about sports injuries, but hamstring injuries are ones that I just feel should never really happen. Stretch to be as limber as a rubber band and hydrate like crazy. As naive as I am I DO KNOW I am over simplifying it, but still.

Especially with what these guys do on a daily basis. It isn't always running full speed that causes hamstring pulls, it's the torque put on it when they come off the line.

The Red King Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 2 hours ago, SoTier said: Well, I'm sorry if I deal with reality rather than pretending that the Bills situation, past and present, is all rainbows and unicorns. Deal with reality? The Bills last season, the first under McBeane, was their most successful in the 21st century, resulting in a 9-7 record and the end of a seventeen year playoff drought. That's reality. The rest is pure speculation at this point. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is much better on paper. Better NT in Star, better LB in Edmunds, better pass rusher in Murphy, better backup in Phillips, about the only unit that didn't improve was the secondary and that might be better in the same defense with roughly the same guys. Offense is not better. Oline is terribly unproven, but there are enough guys IMO to at least field a decent unit. Shady is still Shady, and hopefully we have a QB who will take some chances and an OC who can scheme mismatches. I think back to the Eagles 2016 season. Wentz took that team to 7-9 and a 79 QB rating but you could tell they finally had their franchise QB. Defense was good but it was definitely a work in progress. I feel like we are very much in the same position they were back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good QB can make it work with Meh wrs. Just hope we have a good QB and from what i keep hearing from camp, it might not matter what the WRs/QB do if the oline can't give them 3 seconds to get open we're in trouble.

Agreed. The issue with last year was we had some close games that could have gone either way. 9-7 was pretty much last year's optimal. A team that performs identical to last year could easily go 6-9. I'm not concerned with record this year, I'm just looking for improvement from young guys and seeing how Allen looks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: If they liked Foster they wouldn’t have made the move. He’s had a disappointing camp. The Bills made this move because they are desperate for speed (especially if Allen is going to play at some point). There good thread going on Twitter from Jake Burns. He’s basically like “Cover 1” but analyzing the Browns. I suggest everyone take a look at his opinions on it. He’s way, way, way more informed than any of us on Coleman as a pro. I thought catch percentage meant catchable balls. If that just means targets his catch percentage is meaningless. Anyone questioning why the Browns gave up a high 3rd for Tyrod Taylor should watch that video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the average Joe’s out there going for a jog or tossing around the DUKE being hydrated and doing some stretching is usually enough. We have seen guys like Larry Fitz pull his hammy, elite athletes doing crazy things with their bodies isn’t foolproof. Guys that have motivation problems do seem to suffer these types of problems at a higher rate though. Coleman may have been that guy, a change of scenery could serve him well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
