70% of their money was tied up in the offense. They only needed to have a defense that allowed around 27 points to win a bunch.

First, does that imply Meeks wasn't as worried about stopping the run as he was just keeping them below 27 points and second, what does that say about the current situation. I seriously doubt we can consistently allow 27 points and have a winning season.

Of course Meeks now has a player with seemingly 70% of the defensive money tied up but that's another story.

Gamble was playing so far off the WR that he wasn't really covering a route and should have recognized it was a run. Why would Gamble have to turn around? The entire offense was right in front of him....

So wait he should have left the WR which was his responsibilities on that play too make a play on a rb that was already at the second level before the wr stop running his route? He got caught in a no win situtation. You do know the ball was just outside of the 20 yard line. Even if he got in perfect tackling position he would have got his neck broke. It's the law of physic if force A comes squared up with speed (not too mention outweighing) force B who is stationary. Force B gets ran over or destroyed. I rather have gamble in the reg. season then lose him too a broke collar bone in the preseason.

I think Sanders would have laid the wood to said RB.

Dude not if the RB has a head full of steam and outweighs sanders by 20lb or 30lb and sanders is stationary!!! Yeah right!! He's good but he's not superman he would be out half the season after that play. Lott would have a problem making that play at the 3 yard line.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
