    Not earth shattering, but a guy in the locker room who knows his job, seems respected and a type needed and often overlooked on the 53 man squad/

    You know they are human as well, the shock of having no Mitch or KP probably hit them harder than anyone. lol

    i think you are on to something elvis about the blocker part. maybe who they have is what they want. mims, callaway, pickens, dez fitzpatrick, jefferson all are big bodied wrs, can block and go deep. we have a couple bugs on the rug with speed for underneath. they can get deep as well with speed. i think this offense is going to be the wr's blocking for the run game by the RB's and qb's and then taking downfield shots as they come closer to the LOS. it's all kind of making sense if you dig deep and look at what we have been doing player wise. get the line solid and see where it goes. play solid defense and change what we have been doing up until now. we may be adding a better blocking TE in this draft as well. muth may play out his year and get replaced. a better blocking field stretching TE. :cool:

    Oh Geez my friend....use Your mind. That's what happens when they try to make things work. It's cheaper changing coaches than certain players. This happens all the time. Hell Lamar Jackson has been through 4 OCs just trying to find one to get him over the hump. If it was working they wouldn't keep changing

    And the last guy who voiced his opinion on social media was exiled to Tennessee

    I’d lay low for a while

    Chi seems to be bringing in alot of diff players in now?.....I got a friend thats a Chi fan and he says Chi never had talent around fields... seems like4 the fan base was /iis 50/50 on the trade.... Id put more faith in what the oganzation thinks abt a player than what fans on a message board does

    Former Chargers’ WR Mike Williams is scheduled to visit this week with the Jets, Panthers and Steelers, per source. Jets up first with Williams arriving Monday night.
    Also, with the Chargers having traded WR Keenan Allen, they also are interested in bringing back Williams.

    Just don't try to sell me on replacing DJ with Miles Boykin. Boykin is a 3rd or 4th string WR.

    The entire offense has been jumping for joy and celebrating since the day Wilson signed. All of them are beyond drunk right now..

    Then they heard about Fields and no-Pickett and the partying was taken up 10 notches.

    They're busy celebrating for now. The celebration may end in a few weeks, so expect a period of silence.

    Seriously, just imagine being Pickens? You go from thinking you are stuck with Pickett's weak arm forever to suddenly having Wilson on the team!

    That directly should make lead to $$s for Pickens.

    Based on his time with the Bears, Fields is not good with the game on the line.

    My wife and I vacation in Tennessee a lot and love it there. We have often talked about moving there and have checked out houses and real estate there. The hold up is that we still have kids who live in Western Pa and would be too far away from them if they needed us right away.

    This makes better sense. Because I want buying that eagles were saying a 6th was to much story.

    Bills are signing All-Pro DB Taron Johnson to a three-year extension that makes him the NFL’s highest-paid nickel back, per source. He’s tied to Buffalo through the 2027 season.

    I understand that Russ and Pickens have already spoken and have become best of buds. Here's a picture the two of them recently had made...
