Lotta dead cap space dropping off the books. Keep Anderson here for 3 more seasons and send him on his way-- For those of you who say this gives Moore leverage--No letting Anderson walk after this season gives Moore leverage. We can keep Moore for 2 more years at a decent salary--three if you get spendy. Maybe they want to see what Marshall and Shi Smith have before paying Moore. I think this was smart.

It pays to be devious and short.

We have 2 games of good film, and we know what teams have logjams at certain positions. If we are bringing in a K, it needs to be now. I also wonder if Charlton's hold is not still the problem--i doubt it--but it had to be said dammit!

He was still living here a few years ago. I got behind him in traffic. He was in a red 65 mustang, and he had a vanity plate that said Kasay 4 on it.

Are you suggesting that he return to the Family Stone?

Second highest salary for a K in the NFL, behind Tucker.

I was just teasing a bit, but I hardly think stadiums are destroyed by turf and field seats (although i do not understand the seats--you cant see anything.) The grass is something that you can work to your advantage; thick grass slows fast teams, etc. You are a tough sell--that is for sure. From the practice facility to Fitterer to toying with the idea of a new state of the art stadium, I like what Tepper brings.

So we have to be careful and not overreact with ignorance like Catsfan before me. Every injury is not to be blamed on the grass. You have to look at the whole year and compare with the last few years at BOA. Then do some advanced math (for some) and see which had fewer injuries. Then you can start to investigate that hypothesis.

If Sam gets hurt, we should punt on first down.

He should be mad at his agent if he did not put some escalation clauses into the deal if that happens. TE/WR agents used to argue that--if the TE was out wide more than tight...Not sure how that all works, however.

I think it is interesting that the NFL does not pay kickers based on their importance. An elite pitcher in baseball makes nearly a million a start and they are on the bench 80% of the time. Justin Tucker, the highest paid Kicker (Gano is second, by the way) makes $5m--about $330k per game--and they play fewer games (1/10). I dunno. I do not trust Joey. He must Goey.

I do not think we see Brady right away--but we will see him by midseason. We need 2-3 OL on rookie contracts, imo, to use the cap where we need it. At the moment, none are, and they are not that good. If we can get Brown and Christensen in the lineup, that bodes well for the next 3 seasons after this one. I personally think, if Daley steps up and stays healthy, we can be good on the offensive line this year.

they will think twice about starting 2 rookies beside one another.

Being the eternal ray of sunshine and all that is good and wholesome, I tend to look at the positives, because I understand the preseason and am not a whiny little bastard like some of you loathsome, bottom-feeding, porta-a-pottie dwellers. Moving forward and upward... I really liked Luvu, Taylor (hope he is not injured), Christensen, Brown, Shi Smith, Marshall, Daley, and Moton. Erving was not horrible, but he needs to swing. Tremble is a player--we have to get him and Luvu on the field to help make us nasty. I did not like Paradis, Elflein, Jalen Julius, Roy (terrible when I focused on him), Walker (what was that?), Slye (bye bye guy),

PJ was terrible last night.

I have to leave this thread to find that "QB controversy" thread.

You are very smart. We are in an exclusive club around here.

Luvu is 24---I want him on the field as much as possible.

They got to see him for a few days....

Longshot prediction: We pick up the Ravens backup kicker and let Joey goey.

Knocked off his helmet and headband. Damn. They should check to make sure his socks are still on.

Isn't this the trend with teams that don't have to worry about QB for a long time-New England, New Orleans--they seem to think that they are better players and coaches than they are, then they get hammered into mediocrity--like Bill B. last season, Sean P this season. Or the try to whip their horse into the ground--like at the end of True Grit...Like Ron R.
