Marshall never would have been there at 59 if he hadn't had a bit of an injury history. Who better than his coach at the time to know the extent of those injuries? I envision Brady jumping up and down screaming for him to be the pick when it turned out he was still available.

ding, ding ding! He was my guy at 39, so I was stoked when he was there at 52. and then we traded again...

I also heard a lot of praise for Elfein once they picked him up.

I only watched the Bills game so far (stupid Zoom meeting), but 2 things are immediately obviously; No one is going to block, and Crowder is the only guy open. Coming from an offense where the opposing D-line does whatever it wants and only 1 receiver has to be covered...Sam has got to be like a kid in a candy store.

The more of these videos I watch the more excited I get. I get that his stats have been abysmal, and everyone has a highlight reel, but I really think he has first round talent. The elephant in the room is whether or not our staff can coach him up to that talent level. If he'd been that bad for anyone but the Jets, I'd be a lot less excited about the upcoming season.

lol, I love this.

There were a lot of upset people on my couch during that time.

not at the 190 lbs he weighs now. Perfect size, he's our new FS.

Fug the colts, they can have Little.

That IS a bold thought. I was thinking similarly, since he and Marshall have a very similar skill set, but remembered that he and Sam actually had decent chemistry in NY. Might be nice for Sam to have him around, plus, he's a Temple guy. He did piss off Sir Purr though, so he could be on his way out!

With the injury history of our o-line, I was thinking the same. The good thing is that several of them can paly multiple positions well. I see DJ Moore, Robby Anderson, Terrace Marshall, David Moore, Shi Smith, Brandon Zylstra. with the first 4 as locks.

Miller is a RG, and Brown is a LG. Someone said a few years ago that switching from RG to LG was like trying to wipe your ass with your left hand; it's possible, but it ain't natural. (I'm wildly paraphrasing, but you get the gist). I agree with your sentiment though. Brown will have a hard time beating out Elfein and/or Erving for LG. Since both vets have been injury prone, I think he'll get his shot sooner or later. I also think that Erving may be day 1 LT, although Christensen has a much better chance at starting than Brown does.

Let's try that again... it would be the ultimate party trick!

Fingers crossed it's the former.

It would be funny IF Marty had done it. (I know it was 2 kickers)

Welcome back

As a former high school long snapper, I applaud you for your vast understanding of the nuances of the game sir. And you can bet your happy @$$ that I told girls I was a starter

You must have been off this board for a while.

Not trying to turn this into another QB "discussion", but I like your description of Sam as a question mark. I'm of the mindset that we have to completely disregard his time in NY, so no one has a clue what we're getting. Could be a pro-bowler, could crash and burn. My guess is somewhere in between, and certainly better than what we had in Teddy. Since the thread is about age...he's only 23!

48 is the new 28! or so I keep telling myself.

Almost spit my coffee out. I LOVE the simile here, well played.
