Tabe Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 5 hours ago, hammerva said: More proof in how dumb the combine is: apparently Tom Brady ran a faster 40 this year than the year he was drafted. Unless he has been hanging out with Frank Thomas and Doug Fiutie recently, something is fishy Brady is actually in shape now versus his own combine. He probably hadn't run 40 yards TOTAL during his senior year at Michigan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 5 minutes ago, Kevin Wilson said: The funny part is the UFL is not using the XFL kick off method but is going back to a more traditional version. No idea why, I think the XFL method both cuts down on injuries and is interesting/encouraged returns. I do like that it encourages returns but won't teams just continue to bomb it out of the back of the end zone? Also, how do onside kicks work?

Also, how do onside kicks work? With the XFL, if a ball was kicked directly into/out of the end zone the return team got it on the 35 to discourage it. Maybe the "onsides kick" would take the same rule as the XFL, which was having to make a 15 yard offensive play. Admittedly I'm not a big a fan of that but they did have the rule you could only do it in some situations so teams didn't just do an "onsides kick" after after score. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steal the rouge from the CFL, if you put the kickoff through the goalposts you keep the ball. That way 15 yard penalties “enforced on the kickoff” actually mean something 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizium Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The rouge is getting a single point awarded if a punt or missed field goal gets kicked through the end zone, or downed in the end zone by the returning team. The team that conceded the point then gets the ball at the 40 yard line. There's no rule about kickoffs going through the uprights as far as I know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Broncos and Russell Wilson are definitely parting ways as Wilson already posted a goodbye message to Broncos fans on social media EDIT - the Broncos announced they will be releasing Wilson once the new league year starts on March 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Wilson Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Broncos should be investigated for how that all went down but as long as Russ gets the money they owe him it'll probably just fade away. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Russ signed a new five year deal when he was traded to Denver. That deal was tacked onto the two remaining years of his Seahawks deal. The first year of it would've started... March 13. Add that and the dead money plus everything they traded to get him, and this is near "Walker to Minnesota" level bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Bills went scorched earth today, releasing Tre'Davious White (post-June 1st), Jordan Poyer, Mitch Morse, Siran Neal, Deonte Harty, and Nyheim Hines. While they were way over the cap, they didn't have to release all those players as there were other options (restructures mostly) to get compliant, so I assume this is the Bills making moves that won't just kick the can down the road so they aren't in cap hell every offseason. Or they will still do those restructures so they can go after some Free Agents they have their eye on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasul Douglas, Kaiir Elam, Taron Johnson, and Christian Bedford say 'sup'. Also, Hamlin is a safety.

Kevin Wilson Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I'm not happy of course with Von Miller's output since his injury but Miller had all the leverage as the Bills couldn't cut him this year without a massive cap hit. So him taking a pay cut with probably impossible incentives to fully meet is nice of him. That pretty much gets the Bills back to even, without doing any major restructures or extensions (just a couple small ones that netted a few mil). Its a brutal business but they mostly cut players that were old, injury prone, old and injury prone, or ineffective. If they draft well and get a couple key FAs I don't expect a serious "Rams 2022"-like drop in productivity. Although admittedly I am concerned about the Center position.
