Virgil Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Please let it be to the Raiders, the true dumpster fire of the NFL. I can't wait to see Gruden and Brown eat each other alive. Then, when we play them, I hope we really let Brown have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont undertand that. I thought it was common knowledge he wanted more money because he was out of guaranteed cash. Sounds bizarre. Of the teams in question buffalo has the most money and cap space. Exactly. Which is why I don’t believe money was the issue. I think that’s OBD spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown can say all he wants he wasnt turning down more money. No differant than McCoy. Do the trade and negotiate the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Goat Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 All three teams are the Raiders. Gruden keeps outbidding himself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, they have a lot of picks. The extra 4,5, and 7 are premium extras It's not me you have a beef with. It's the value chart. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that were the case, you’d think the Raiders would be selling tickets for 2019, which they are not. My guess, he’s gonna play in a crap 36,000 seat stadium in Whitney, NV, which they’ll have to share with owner/operator UNLV... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Boyd_Stadium .

Logic Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I hate to EVER give Geoff Schwartz credit for anything, because he is a stubborn, arrogant goon. But he's pretty correct here: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murphy's just a complimentary piece and Hughes is closer to the end of his career than the beginning. This explains the current rumors about the Bills having serious interest in Frank Clark. I will not be surprised in the least bit if the Bills draft an edge rusher at #9 or trade for a recently franchised guy.

Augie Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Since WR’s are getting rules protection similar to what QB’s get, they seem to be benefiting from the continued upswing in the passing game. And the dollars are following..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not be surprised in the least bit if the Bills draft an edge rusher at #9 or trade for a recently franchised guy. I will say, I heard an interesting piece on Move the Sticks podcast a couple months ago about how they (Brooks and Jeremiah) were wondering if the league was moving away from this. They said if they were to put it into terms now they would say 12 blue chip/above average players to make a contender. 1 QB (obviously) 3 Offensive playmakers/difference makers 3 Offensive linemen 2 Pass rushers 3 Back end defenders who make a difference. So for us that would look like: Allen McCoy?, ?, ? Dawkins, Teller?, ? Hughes, Alexander? White, Poyer, Hyde (but edmunds and Milano would be on this list as well.) I thought it was an interesting idea because it takes away from the idea of position and looks more at overall quality of the team at the various levels. It doesn't matter if you have a stud CB if you have two good safeties who can cover some of the blank spots (they spoke about how CB play in the NFL is getting worse and worse and less valued as well). I think the idea here is that it's about finding playmakers and then building a system to fit them. They also spoke a bit about how positions are becoming more vague in the NFL these days. It really made me think. Edited March 9, 2019 by whatdrought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the idea here is that it's about finding playmakers and then building a system to fit them. It really made me think. Very interesting. There certainly does seem to be a formula for winning that is not just as simple as "Get a coach, get a QB". I USED to think that was all that was needed, but the careers of QBs from Dan Fouts, to Dan Marino, to Philip Rivers, to Andrew Luck so far, even to how few rings Peyton Manning won...It's NOT just coach and QB. Get a QB, protect him. Get to the opposition's QB and affect him. That's still the gist. HOW that all is done seems to be fungible. The biggest changes I see are interior pass rushers becoming as important as edge rushers, and consequently centers and guards becoming more important than they used to be. Additionally, right tackle has become a more premium position, as more and more top line edge rushers line up on the left. Football's strategic evolution is so ***** interesting.

Happy Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Looks like AB could be a New Orleans Saint. Apparently not completely finalized. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Brown to the Saints would create a huge rooting conflict, but would be the ultimate ‘I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore!’ signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
