Of course they like getting paid. But they can get paid just as easily on a Sunday as a Thursday. Open the season on Thursday, fine. Thanksgiving, teams off a bye week. These guys are getting hurt on short weeks. Just using Panthers, Cam gets hurt and hasn't been the same. His next mega contract doesn't happen because he's not the same guy. CMC pulls a hammy and now that's 2 years in a row with significant injury, does he get another big contract? Burris goes down, gotta consider that on his contract. 1 game vs career implications is a big deal especially when there's no reason the game can't be played on Sunday. As more and more of these injuries keep piling up, it's going to get looked at. Recovery is part of health and health is supposed to be one of the big concerns of the NFL now with concussions, early death, CTE etc. The NFLPA should be looking at this from a player safety point. If they want Thursday night games fine, just have the teams coming off a bye. Sometimes you have to protect the players, even from themselves. Cam is a perfect example with that Lisfranc.

I feel sorry for Sam playing behind this line. I feel sorry for Sam that his first 3 years were under the Jets. I have sorry for Sam because his offensive coordinator hasn't recognized he plays his best ball when, by design, he doesn't have time to think. Sam has done some pretty crappy things the past 3 weeks but he's also shown he can do some pretty special things too. TB isn't making that 4th quarter drive. Sam definitely needs to step it up, but it's not all on him. This team isn't performing like it's been well coached and that concerns me more than Darnold does right now.

No. What happened in the 4th yesterday never happened in 2020. Not even close.

It's not the craziest thing in the world to consider doing. Players need time to recover, plain and simple. If a team told the league they weren't playing a Thursday game in the interest of player safety, expect some serious backlash from the league. That's a lot of revenue lost and there is no way Goodell let's that go unpunished. What happened to Cam in SB50 and the season opener in 16 would be a walk in the park.

Learn how to make adjustments

Likes 1. Reddick and Luvu's effort 2. Chubba Bubba 3. Taylor is looking much better than I expected this early. Dislikes. 1. The inside 3 oline 2. Not playing hurry up quick hit more. Darnold does best it seems in that. 3. The 3rd quarter.

I'm not off the train but if the coaching staff doesn't wake up the only train will be made of uhauls. There needs to be some serious evaluation of staff and players and if Rhule doesn't get his poo together he will be right back in college.

Rhule needs to realize every NFL team is Alabama. You can't waste resources on 10 reclamation projects. The NFL is an offense driven league. Score points or get the hell out of the way.

Would do no good to trade for Watson. If we actually tried to put him on the active roster he would immediately be put on the exempt list.

It does need to be said. If we are going to tank, tank. If we are going to try to win, Cam needs to be in the conversation. It's not a full season so his arm won't wear down as quickly and he doesn't play scared.

Maybe for opposing defenses

It's bad when I'm wondering what our offense would look like with Taylor Heinicke.

Huddle or Panthers?

I wonder if Bezos is in my favorites..

And the 3rd qtr is off to a hot shart!

Cam is vaxxed now. If Darnold continues this way, we either need to tank the season or bring Cam back. He's better than PJ and doesn't play afraid of a shadow.

At least we had a good practice this week.

Blocking means impeding progress. Touching the guy while he runs by you doesn't really count.

Friday night is high school ball, Saturday is college. Can't lose that revenue.

If he can block more than a quarter second he's an improvement over Daley.

Probably do better than Miller or Daley at guard for sure

I am a former lifelong fat guy. Losing the first 30 pounds was worse than losing the last 120. Figuring out how to get my electrolytes right was the worst part. A change in diet changes where you get your vitamins and minerals from and even with supplements, you may not always get it right. For me, it was magnesium that I couldn't get right and I would get the wobble as I call it. My crew knew to watch for it because if it happened I was in trouble. I would just black out for a split second and start to crumble before I caught myself. Even with a nutritionist, I had a lot to learn about how my body responded to food that she couldn't teach me.

It needs to be Paradis calming the line down and getting poo together. Sam is too busy trying to figure out who is going to whiff on blocking next.

The NFL seriously needs to consider expanding the practice squad or the roster or both. The amount of injuries is getting to be staggering. I would still like to see a minor league system with adding players similar to the waiver wire.

Same refs?
