I think the orange part here is really critical. Especially if we're talking about post-Ben's injury.
Joel isn't talking about hand span (which is what the NFL measures). [ETA: Looks like JEH already pointed this out] Kenny was ~8.5" IIRC. And I...
I think this was true up until last season. Last season it was the D being unable to get off the field that limited the offensive opportunities....
And given that we have no plan for QB next season, I think it's more likely that we're on the downswing than the upswing.
I agree that the benefit is small. The cost is also zero. Which is why this decision to call or not call players early doesn't make any difference.
I don't think they'll stop calling guys when they aren't on the clock. It seems to be something that we've consistently done. Which I think...
The Eagles did in-fact get in touch with Lemon prior to the pick. The idea that they would trade up to draft him without talking to him, but not...
My guess is that there is probably very clear language on what "obstruction" means somewhere in the CBA or some other NFL rule book. These rules...
This is pretty old news at this point. Seems like the leagues agreed that there is nothing wrong with what they did. The rule explicitly states...
I also heard that the timeline for entering the supplemental draft was such that he could have lost an appeal to be reinstated. And if that...
My gut reaction is that we should put in a low bid (5th or lower...but maybe as high as a 4th if they really liked him) to hedge against other...
If he does get in to the supplemental draft, how high do you think we'd have to bid to get him? For example, if you think someone who picked in...
Yep. Seems pretty clear that this was nothing to get worked up over.
I hope he's right. But I'll take the under on 12.
I could be wrong, but I think the old process was the Goodell did the initial suspension and Goodell heard the appeals. I think this is how it was...
You didn't miss anything.
I think it also said that the only reason he doesn't have eligibility left is because he's going to drop the lawsuit he has essentially already...
Personally, I think he should have to stay in college since a judge already ruled he can return. I don't think he should be able to dodge a...
I think this comment assumes that the NFL has a systematic process and needs to justify suspensions. Part 1 is kind of true IIRC. The process is...
My guess is that Goodell would figure out a way to suspend him for a year so that going to the supplemental draft isn't a way for him to dodge the...
