He may be a good player. One or two highlights in two seasons. I think the complaints over drafting him were that he offered a similar game as Dugger and Peppers when the Patriots need a coverage free safety. He's a hybrid LB/S who can play up in the box - as can Dugger and Peppers.

Totally understand that you can make a case for good or bad players on any of those. I don’t think that’s “bias” - it’s differing opinions. Fourth round selection who started multiple games at QB and won several? Maybe a low bar but I called that a win for a fourth round selection. Compare...

I think there is a solid data-based case to dismiss Eliot Wolf. I know it's early in his GM tenure, and there may be some longer-term strategy behind the really questionable handling of offseason spending on OL and WR. But here are the facts. He's not entirely in his first year with the...

I remain fully in the best-available-player approach. Certainly all the amateur draft analysts call Hunter the best player in the draft. If you are coming off a Super Bowl win and need a guard or safety or tight end, and that's it, target that in the first round. If you need two WR's, three...

Yeah, they're supposed to be robots. But the situation must be more frustrating for the veteran players than the fans. I'll be here next year watching the team, God willing. A lot of the rookies will be. For players like Brissett, this may be it. And he gave everything he had. There were...

Given the draft capital expended on Strange, Sow, Robinson, & Jake Andrews, and the big contract given Onwenu - it would be a disappointment if they need to use more draft value on interior OL in 2025. Onwenu should be the long-term starter at RG. He is a very good guard, at least between...

The Pros: Former #16 pick in 2023 draft Returned six picks for scores in college 6’ 1”, ran 4.35 No signing bonus The Cons Benched and released 166 pounds before the draft Liability against the run Two years remaining on the contract Pretty limited downside. You can coach adding 15 pounds -...

There are 32 teams in the league, yes? 15 above .500. 17 below .500. That’s not really a statistical outlier. Many weeks half the teams lose… It’s possible there were always losing teams in the league. We may not have noticed them. I’m pretty sure the overall league winning percentage is...

Apparently he was informed with a napkin that said: "You're out as GM of the NYJ"

“We can’t spare any bags of balls.” The rest of the league.

Great news for Barmore. I don't care if they win an extra game because he's back - just really happy he can play again. It should mean his chance of starting the season healthy next year is much better. This seemed to devolve into a 2025 roster discussion, with the Cole Strange update. There...

When do the draft magazines start coming out?

Actually the fact is exactly the opposite. He was wiping down a machine from prior use, was getting ready to use it, and Pass wanted it and floored him, per the reported video.

https://goifl.com/news/2023/7/3/football-statement-from-the-commissioner.aspx A year ago Patrick Pass was suspended and banned from the Indoor Football League when, as a coach, he jumped into the stands in some argument.

Globe article says security video showed Pass "chest bump" him and clearly knock him down. The man was 82. You don't knock down octogenarians. If you do, you apologize and help them up and make sure they're OK. The victim did not press charges. The police watched the video. Either the reported...

This is a month late for the annual veteran free agent offensive lineman retires streak. It’s supposed to be in August, right?

That's a thoughtful response. From a cops' point of view, Hill was perceived as a threat. The cops, however, had a path to escalate or de-escalate, while being filmed, and they chose to escalate. Review the Sandra Bland case. This is a cop, Brian Encinia, who was trained to escalate in order to...

Real feel good game. So fun to see a happy win. OL looked so much better than it did all summer! That said: They needed a Gesicki drop going to the ground in the end zone, a freak batted ball on the goal line bouncing right to Jones, a fumble on a return - everything bounced their way all day...

I’m interested in seeing how Mayo leads a losing team and how he controls the locker room. This is not a good team now. I’ll be rooting for them to win every game and will be fine with 0 and 4.

So Mayo announced Brissett as the starter…
