Teams put way too many bells and whistles around the game these days it's just silly. The only "experience" I care to see is my team kicking ass on the field. Everything else takes away from the experience, in my opinion. Greedy motherfuger but if there are suckers out there who will pay for this then I can't really blame Tep.

SCP, don't ever leave again

Fine with me, I don’t care about other teams’ scraps anyways.

@SCP @PhillyB @Zod all have had some epic pre-game trash talk threads. The huddle has really been missing those. Need some other creative folks to take up the mantle. I’d give it a go but wouldn’t do them justice.

Completely agree. And Bell even stuck around the league for another 4 years across 3 teams while starting multiple games in multiple seasons after he left here. My point is, while Daley is not good and it's nice to get something for him, many teams have worse on the end of their roster than him. Him being on the roster for the last 3 years just isn't an issue. It could've been much worse, and is much worse for plenty of other teams. I'm glad we're finally looking to have a rock solid starting OL AND better depth such that Daley is expendable for us, but that doesn't mean Daley isn't a valuable player on a 6th round rookie scale contract. Obviously he is considering what we got for him. People can tell themselves that Fitts "swindled" the Titans on this deal, but I disagree -- the trade was just fair value. Fortunately we are in a position with the OL where we can make this move and have it be a positive since Daley may not have made our roster anyways. Just good business all around from our front office.

There are plenty of worse 8/9 OL around the league. It's embarrassing that we had him starting so many games and not due to a ton of injuries, but having him on a roster is not a problem. He's better than Bell and Chandler ever were and those guys were our plan A at OT one year...

Did a single one of these rookie QBs play any snaps against other team's starters? From my following from afar, I believe the answer to that is no but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Wasn't really that bad for a 6th round pick... Large large majority of those picks are out of the league by now. He has value as an end of the roster lineman, clearly, considering we got a better pick than we drafted him with anyways.

lol, it's unlikely Corral amounts to much but I won't read into the other guys' preseason performances at all. I really think this draft for QBs is going to wind up like 2013's without a single good long term starter coming out of it. Maybe Pickett, just because he's in a great situation, but I think his upside is more Chiefs Alex Smith and not better than that. Willis maybe but he's a longshot. The other guys I highly doubt ever become more than backups. It was a rough draft to need a QB.

Highly paid? He's the 23rd highest paid kicker... But yeah he was really solid last year and would be a huge loss if he misses any time. So fuged up

We are cursed, wtf

That was a delay of game uncalled but whatever. CJ played it very well, impressive job by the WR holding on/

I think Robbie will be 2nd in snaps amongst wideouts but definitely can see Shi earning Baker's trust over RA and getting more targets/catches. Shi has had a phenomenal offseason but Robbie is likely still ahead of him at least to start the season.

Yes it's against backups but we're much better against backups than the Pats were against our backups. Definitely encouraging.

Beauty. Shi Smith is a stud.

Get Foreman in there what the hell is Chuba doing

Smitty’s kinda awkward lol, he has to hold back a bit to not piss off Tepper but yeah it’s great

NFL+ is so stupid not letting you turn to the game until "kickoff." So I have to keep refreshing the page...

That's pretty much the point I was making..

Rookie LTs are pretty much never elite regardless of where they’re drafted. It takes time to get the hang of the position in the big leagues. If Icky can even be average this year, which I think he can, it’s a huge upgrade for us.

Yeah I think this is the most likely scenario, DJ will probably be the only wideout playing anywhere near 100% of the snaps with the others being more of a rotation. Shi will see some outside reps but Robbie 2nd on the team in playing time. Shi/Higgins will both see a fair amount in the slot. I think there’s a chance Shi is our return man, but Roberts was signed for that reason and until/unless we see him cut I think it’s his job with Shi being the backup option there.

Shi has looked like a game breaking talent at times, may have been the best player for us on O outside of McCaffrey in the Pats practices. Maybe I’m being influenced by he sour taste Robbie left for us last season but I would not rule out Shi earning a huge role in our offense. Yes probably more likely to start in the slot but don’t be surprised if his horizons are higher than that...

I'm guessing this is for our "starting" slot WR spot not outside opposite DJ, although from what I've seen he is making a real push to start across from DJ over Robbie in 2 wideout sets. He's been really good this offseason.

Lol DJ burned Mills several times when I was there. Stupid homers

He played more LB last year, my guess is he would be LB depth and it makes sense. Either way there's a reason he's on the streets, he ain't getting any guaranteed playing time regardless of the position, just a back of the roster move.
