2 edge guys in one day gone?

 

[mayoclinic]

Boom… I was banging the table for Nick Cross.

Not buying it yet ... but would be intriguing if true. 24 years old, very athletic.

 

[bakes781]

Damn

Are people posting fake tweets again… I thought we said we weren’t going to do that?

 

[mike_usagisan]

That doesn't seem like very much. We must not have wanted him back or he didn't want to come back if we weren't giving him a big deal.

The account had a checkmark but I guess that doesnt mean **** these days

And they get to keep their two first round picks.

 

[Ring 6]

Paye's pressure numbers are as follows:
2021 - 4 sacks, 6 hits, 28 hurries on 399 pass rush snaps (1 pressure every 10.5 snaps)
2022 - 6 sacks, 4 hits, 24 hurries on 337 pass rush snaps (1 pressure every 9.9 snaps)
2023 - 8.5 sacks, 2 hits, 18 hurries on 410 pass rush snaps (1 pressure every 10.4 snaps)
2024 - 8 sacks, 4 hits, 25 hurries 387 pass rush snaps (1 pressure every 10.75 snaps)
2025 - 4 sacks 5 hits, 29 hurries 408 pass rush snaps (1 pressure every 10.74 snaps)

Chaisson's pressure numbers:
2020 - 1 sack, 8 hits, 20 hurries on 336 pass rushing snaps (1 pressure every 11.58 snaps)
2021 - 1 sack, 2 hits, 12 hurries on 119 pass rushing snaps (1 pressure every 7.9 snaps)
2022 - 1 sack, 2 hits, 3 hurries on 73 pass rushing snaps (1 pressure every 12.17 snaps)
2023 - 1 sacks, 6 hits, 6 hurries on 154 pass rushing snaps (1 pressure every 11.85 snaps)
2024 - 5.5 sacks, 4 hits, 19 hurries on 309 pass rushing snaps (1 pressure every 10.84 snaps)
2025 - 7.5 sacks, 11 hits, 34 hurries on 409 pass rushing snaps ( 1 pressure every 7.79 snaps)

Only a fool just looks at sacks and not pressures as a whole.




In 5 seasons prior to the Pats, he played 1852 snaps in 72 games. That's 25.7 snaps per game. Not 18.

Math isn't your forte, Andy. Neither is understanding football.

Chaisson 1 year 12 mill. Who was right?

 

[50-yard-line]

And they get to keep their two first round picks.

Makes that "failed physical" claim seem rather ridiculous. They were obviously talking with Hendrickson before deciding to dump the Crosby deal.

That's an absolutely crap move by them.

 

[mayoclinic]

They have a statue to Ray Lewis outside their stadium. "Shame" is not in their vocabulary.

[Rob0729]

This guy says its a done deal.

I guess I am wrong. He doesn't seem like a scheme fit from what I know of the guy. But then again, I only know what I read. I don't know much about him first hand.

Guy has 1k followers.

I wouldn't put any stock into that.

I didn't even look at the who the Tweet was from. I just assumed it was done.

 

[Hammer of Thor]

My understanding was that you don’t need to wait until 6/01 to get the cap savings if you use the designation, you get it immediately. But because of how that could be abused, they limit it to two players. If you had to wait until 6/01 for the cap space to become available, there would be little point in using the designation, you may as well keep the player until then.

Edit: Looked it up, apparently I am wrong. That seems sort of stupid.

Well, the use of it would be 1) to do a solid by the player and let him be released earlier with everyone else while free agency money is still there, and 2) often times teams will use that June 1 cap space as their buffer to get the full 53 players, practice squad, and in season moves accounted for.

A couple of tips for avoiding fake reports, especially on Xitter:

• Check the number of followers the account has. If it's <1000: probably garbage. The more followers, the more likely it's true.
• Check the account name. Make sure it's not something like "@AdamSchef4er".
• Check their other content. A lot of accounts post a lot of nonsense hoping one or two things hit.
• Check if others are reporting the same/similar news.

The only caveat in this case is that this is the third separate such tweeter with similar information.

If they don't make things up, usually these small-follower accounts (at least the ones based in the US) actually do know somebody who knows somebody, who knows the thing.

Not saying it's true or false, just it's rare when it's the same thing multiple times.

Are the other 2 tweeters Rickey Scoops and Carlos Lopez?

Because if that’s the case, people should double down on the above.

 

[Drunken Cicerone]

You guys are saying accounts like Johnny$$BentleyBoyZ might not have the inside scoop?
