That's why you had my vote, sir. Bengals had 5 in that Top 100 (just one from the original roster in there.)
A reason why you received my vote for best OL.

True. Matthews has proven capable of being a feature back. But Woodhead isn't going to be asked to be a feature back; he's a third-down back who...

Hold on please, check DM.
It also calls him a matchup nightmare and cites his ability to make plays (as a receiver) in the red zone. That's why we like him.
And it's not like the QB throwing him the ball in Cincy is chopped liver.
That's fair. Just saying taking one stat from one year isn't conducive to making a definite conclusion on a player. Not how Id operate anyways....
I think Todd's point is that categorizing him as having drops issues based on one season is unfair, especially when he has a 2 year sample...

God damn analytics.

Exactly. Almost all of us would've taken the Colts if we had the chance.

And I don't think the real Bucs are that far off. Winston will solve a lot of problems.
Of course, I didn't think you were being critical of Todd and didn't mean to imply that, sorry. My point is just that the roster -- while not...

I like Newsome, good value there for someone...Just not a fit for my 4-3 scheme. For the record, not sure I'd call the Colts' roster crappy....
Some odd trades in past 24 hours. Not in the sense that any were lopsided, just a lot of minutia. Tweaking and fine tuning before bidding stars, I...
My understanding is that he moved around some. Used as a SLB in 13, weakside stand-up LB in 14. We plan to keep him on the strong side.

Easily the most uncomfortable GM I saw up there. Not sure he stuttered, but certainly didn't like being at the podium.
Dennis Hickey was a bit of a snoozer. Only caught the back half of his presser. Said that Branden Albert's rehab was on schedule and that he was...

Updated draft picks, and Jeremy Hill removed because of pending transaction.
Agreed. :lol:
I missed out on him once after inquiring a few times. Made me pursue him even more aggressively lol
One of the top young DEs in the NFL. +19 PFF grade. Cheap. Hate to lose Rey, but love what we've building along the line.

AP and Jaboo in the same backfield? Media and victim's rights advocates will be busy with that one. Entertaining on the field, too.
I agree with that, too. My issues are 1. Saying that there is "collusion" is an unfair, untrue and extreme allegation and 2. Publicly stating that...
Agreed. Just my preference to not talk about other's assets until it's all said and done.
Amen to that man. Hell, there have been more lopsided trades this year. Won't point them out because I think it's tasteless to comment on other...
Exactly! I thought it was beneficial to both sides

I'll give him pick 1. 27...and that is all.
