Mister Defense Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 I thought he was done before the Billls signed him, was merely an outside shot. I was wrong as Incognito became one of the Bills best players and a cornerstone of the offense. Then, this time, I was pretty sure he was done and at the most would be a backup. But with one sack allowed this year and seen as a stabilizing influence on the Raiders' line, he came back as almost the same player. You gotta give it to the guy, resilient as hell. And he will go down as a great guard in the NFL. A good example of perseverance and overcoming obstacles. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 The issue with InCog was never on the field. Even in 2017 when his play declined a little bit (considering he was a Pro-Bowl caliber player in 2015 and 2016) he was still a better than average starting caliber guard. Hopefully Gruden and that organization can keep his head on straight. Odds are if he kept himself mentally in a good spot he would be still starting where Spain is right now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muppy Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 my first thought was he must be doing better mentally than he was before ….clearly he can still play....maybe he did indeed see the light and seek treatment for his issues..Im guessing so and for that Im glad for him I hope it lasts for his healths sake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 He appears to go between two phases - doing well with medication and then after on medication for a while not believing he needs medication and self-medicating with alcohol and drugs. i hope he has someone there to be a big brother to him during season and off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good example of perseverance and overcoming obstacles. I disagree. The reason he remains a good player seems to be related a lot to his mental problems. He can't handle not being on an NFL team. Sure, it works out on the field, but the guy isn't 'overcoming obstacles' to be a good player. He's a good player because of his mental disease.

The thing is, M, he sought treatment before. In Miami; during his "gap year" after the Martin thing. Then he fell off the wagon. It's the hell of a mental illness or having a family member with a mental illness. The best analogy I have is from a book called "Secrets from the Food Lab" written by a psychologist who studies how people relate to food. She points out that one reason losing weight is so hard is that it only takes 1 slip-up to undo a day (or a week) of proper diet. If you resist distractions at work 95% of the time but get distracted 5% of the time, you can still be very productive in that 95%. If you resist a plate of donuts 95% of the time but slip and gobble them down 5% of the time, the impact is the same as if you never resisted. Same thing with mental illness or addiction diseases - it can only takes one slip-up to start a downward spiral. 2 hours ago, T&C said: Listening to WGR earlier they briefly touched on the upcoming Eric Wood Roast... and then mentioned that Richie would be another one in the near future.

muppy Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I’ve not seen his name as having been involved with law enforcement or any headlines of anything bad in months which in and of itself is surprising based on his previous outbursts. I doubt obtaining illicit drugs is that difficult in any state to be honest if he wanted them he’d find a way. Alcohol of course available anywhere. I do seem to recall he mentioning however that he became born again Christian which clearly doesn’t cure mental illness or drug/alcohol issues but what it may do is keep he around the type of people less likely to entice him to do those substances that did him harm plus be supportive of a clean sober lifestyle and maintaining a regimen of taking the meds he needs to be mentally sound. Could he fall off the wagon in Las Vegas yes. I just hope that whatever he has done to keep on the straight and narrow translates to Nevada it’s no given but I’m hopeful for his sake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) I’m interested in the money - $14M for two years with half guaranteed... Haven’t watched a lot of Raiders games but I find it hard to imagine that he has been much better than Feliciano ( $3.75M a year) and Spain( $2M) so hats off to Beane once again for getting these two on the cheap.. Question remains... what happens with Spain next year? Any chance $22M for three years gets it done? Should they even pay this? Guess it depends if they go with Ford another year at RT, or they have identified someone else in FA and kick Ford inside,which I’m assuming will cost more than $7.5M a year..

I think they should definitely sign Spain to a three year deal for what you are suggesting. I think Spain has played pretty much every snap. I think Spain and Dawkins have done a very good job on the left side. Lock them up. I think $7-8mil a year for a good guard is the going rate. Counter point is they let Spain walk, and find another FA who wants a prove it deal. This buys the Bills another year to see if Ford can progress. Then they can sign Feliciano to an extension next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
