Same. He was just there. He had to know he was in trouble when he played so much in the 2nd game when we were playing pretty much nothing but bubble guys.

All coaches tend to show allegiance to guys they're familiar with, particularly early in their career. It's just that list coaches come from either prior NFL experience or powerhouse college experience. Having a large chunk of your roster comprised of Temple and Baylor players though... oh wee mayne. We're not exactly talking about Alabama and Clemson here. These are the same players Rhule couldn't beat ranked collegiate competition with, much less NFL competition.

Meanwhile, the three young WRs on the practice squad...

I'd wager to say you'd be hard pressed to find a single regular poster on this forum who gave Grier any shot at all prior to camp starting to make the final roster this year.

Targeting all the QB castoffs... from the NY Jets

Just imagine the level of poo posting he'd be engaging in right now with us currently carrying all of the TEs. LOL!

WR David Moore

The TE thing has definitely become a curiosity. We must be planning on running two TE sets a LOT. For old time's sake...

Just bumping this for a bit as a reminder. Enough is enough. The repeated warnings haven't worked. The hammer has started swinging.

Honestly, MJ was Amini Silatolu level bad for the Bengals. I have to think we got scooped on some other attempted claims.

Also not like a '70s station wagon in a demolition derby

I'm shocked he got claimed but happy for him. Seems like a legit good dude.

I come from a long line of country ass hillbillies. Roughshod means shoeing a horse and not trimming the nails off. Usually done in the winter to improve traction on frozen ground but it also causes the ground to get really chewed up so the saying basically implies that whatever is being run over is getting utterly fuged up in the process.

Basically grown ass men many of whom were former JUCO players running roughshod over actual HS kids, all televised by ESPN.

We released him. He signed a contract with a team offering him a contract. How you can hold that against Cam is baffling. I mean, Olsen signed with the Seahawks and there for awhile during his career here they were probably our most heated non-divisional rival. I don't hold that against Greg.

Some of that was due to Shula's offensive strategy. He generally chose to counter blitzes by keeping additional blockers in to protect. Those additional blockers are the guys who would generally be the check down options. It was that very tendency that Wade Phillips expertly exploited in the Super Bowl with his blue dog blitzes. He had the talent in the secondary to play straight up man coverage against our subpar WRs and if your guy stayed in to block, you blitzed to nullify the extra blocker and force one on one situations.

I don't feel sorry for him. This is the way the NFL goes. It's called the "Not For Long" league for a reason. He did himself zero favors choosing not to get vaccinated. That certainly didn't help his cause in NE and it certainly won't help his cause as a FA. Cam has made millions upon millions of dollars and he should be set for life several times over. I don't think he's someone to feel sorry for. But yeah, I'll still defend him from baseless allegations and from the trolls who begrudgingly cheered him on when we were winning and gleefully threw shade at him when we weren't.

You should be. There's a good chance some of them are better than some of the guys currently on our roster.

Most of the biggest hits he took in his career were standing in the "pocket" behind a porous OL. For such a "so so passer" I would've expected some of the receivers he played with to break out and show their worth elsewhere. Shockingly enough, virtually all of them had the best years of the careers while playing with Cam. Interesting.

The OL. All of them. There's gotta be options out there on the scrap heap that are better than some of the guys currently on our roster.

Putting the entire offense on Cam's back was Ron's fault. Playing Cam when he was obviously injured and ineffective throwing the football due to a shoulder injury was Ron's fault.

Yep. I get it. One way or the other, Belichick wants to sell this as a purely performance based decision. Completely understandable but he should probably STFU with the misinformation. Simply call it a performance based decision and move on. He's usually really good at saying as little as possible to the media. This is a great time to stick to that philosophy.

Yep. I give Darnold credit here. He clearly had reservations or at least a desire to have his decision remain private, but ultimately he did the right thing whether it was for his own benefit or for the team's. Hats off.

We hope. Creating the cap space is step one. I'll wait until we see how it gets used and what results that creates on the field before I go spiking the football.
