It is certainly looking similar in that regard and it may truly be that good.  I'm not sure they are quite there yet but they certainly are looking the part so far.  It's a long season though and we need a lot of luck to stay healthy.  I just enjoy being the spoilers right now.

I just wanted to note the similarities.  Nobody punches a ticket to the 'ship in September.

We didn't run that 3-3-5 so I have not clue what he is talking about. All I know is the D brought the old crab legs back out ... LoL

This. I watched the game again last night. We were running a “big dime” the entire game. 

I actually don’t know what to call it, but basically we only had a single Linebacker on the filed the majority of the game. We went speed over power yesterday. 
 

we also moved Chinn all over the place again. Lastly, we ran a staggered cloud 9 as well. This is what the rams are running too. I wouldn’t call it a college defense but rather a modern NFL defense

Pro or College - whatever we're running works.  Brees can laugh all he wants but he wouldn't have been much better than Jameis yesterday because last year he could just pick on Whitehead all day.

I'm not sure what he has to laugh about unless he was laughing at his old team. That "college" defense kicked the Saint's ass all day long.

I was fully prepared to be pissed at that sob last night when he *started* talking, but I'm not sure he was really being a d about it.  His weird laughing aside he had some specific things that he called more common in college - so unless he just outright made it up I'm not sure he was wrong.

Then again who cares - if it works they can play a fight song with a marching band just to make it a MORE college atmosphere as far as I care.

      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.
