Mr. Scot

LeSean McCoy says Chip Kelly doesn't respect star players Excerpts... So what do you see here: a whiny player, an egomaniacal coach, or both? Is there a villain in this story? Is there a good guy? If so, who's who?

NFL news... Lawrence Tynes suing Bucs over career ending MRSA infection Patrick Peterson reveals that he's diabetic And just because I wanna see what response this gets... Former Dolphin quarterback Dick Wood dies at age 79

Jets have signed G Ben Ijalana to a one year deal (visited with us a while back).

I didn't quite catch that. Ask her again.

Speculation is he wants 4.5 million. That's down from the 9-10 million he was said to believe he was worth, but likely still too high. Watch him wait around till after the draft and then he'll probably wish he'd taken the three. (and no, I wouldn't want him here)

This was posted on here a while back. The fastest receivers at The Combine rarely pan out Smart evaluators understand the role measurables play, but don't get obsessed with them. Same thing with stats. They can be used as a tiebreaker, but shouldn't be your primary factor. Game tape tells way more than drills and stat sheets.

We have a subset of posters that wants to go after every single "bad boy" player out there. And they always use the "he wouldn't do it if he signed here" line. This bunch was screaming for us to trade high picks for Jsh Gordon and Justin Blackmon using the same logic before they got their most recent suspensions. Heck, some would probably still do it.

It's something I like to call 'a metaphor'. (and frankly, given today's NFL climate, it's a more appropriate comparison than ever)

Like some girls think "oh just because he cheated on his other girlfriends doesn't mean he'll cheat on me" or some wives think "yeah, he's hit me before, but he apologized and promised he'd never do it again".

Send a PM to PhillyB. Seriously though, teams will go to outrageous lengths to check on potential high draft picks. At least they didn't ask him if his mama was a wh-re.

I get that, but these geniuses are predicting we'll be bypassed by two teams that were both much worse. Improved? One's got a new coach and will be learning a new system and the other's having a fire sale on it's best players. I agree. These writers are lazy.

People should remember the analogy he used in a past presser. If you have a load of credit card debt, and you pay it down by being frugal, and then continue to be frugal so you don't run it up again, you're smart. But if you pay down massive credit card debt, find yourself free and clear and then respond by racking up the same kind of massive debt you just worked yourself out of (or worse) you're an idiot.

What strikes me funny is we're only talking about a three year stretch.

Panthers are said to be interested in WR Deon Long from Maryland. I've looked up some info on this kid, He's intriguing. Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora · 19h 19 hours ago Deon Long's HS coach also coached Vernon/ Vontae Davis, Josh Cribbs. He's adamant the MD WR is best athlete of bunch Story Link

Matt Maiocco @MaioccoCSN · 45m 45 minutes ago In first offseason with Washington, GM Scot McCloughan has acquired Dashon Goldson and Ricky Jean Francois — players he drafted with 49ers. Albert Breer @AlbertBreer · 1h 1 hour ago The Bucs invested 2 first-round picks and about $45 million since '12 to stock secondary with Barron, Revis and Goldson. All 3 are now gone.

And will say it again next year.

No they didn't.

Aaron Wilson reporting the Ravens are trading guard Gino Gradkowski to the Broncos. Also seeing word that the Eagles are looking to trade CB Brandon Boykin.

Bears have signed OLB Sam Acho. Bengals re-signed WR Brandon Tate.

Is that you, Pete?

So...

Gettleman said the interior was set, so I doubt that changes. I'll grant there are questions, but I'm pretty optimistic for the season to come. Check back with me after the draft and I might even be more so.

What I think you're leaving out here though is that the line wasn't status last season. The line for the first part of the year? Terrible, I'd agree. The line once Norwell and Remmers were inserted was a different story.

I'm surprised runningback fans aren't higher on Melvin Gordon. Any reason?

Even if you don't wanna say 'fixed' though, would you agree that the line is better than it was last year?
