leon washington release expected but marquice cole? he seemed like at least useful, flexible secondary depth, which was already kinda thin.

cole back. $ i guess

even tho power rankings are the worst shit in sports journalism, this lil tool espn has is pretty cool. this is the afc east alpha by nickname. i totally don't remember miami being a top 5 power 2002/3. i guess that was ricky and a defense.

the great 2011 bills. oh the naivety.

rip vincent lamar, you irreplaceable you ;_;

dammit.

he had been unusually quiet to start this season but not someone i want to go to the playoffs without.

lol @ "LeGarrette Blount's 49-yard touchdown run was the team's longest since LaMont Jordan's 49-yard TD run against the Oakland Raiders on Dec. 14, 2008."

now that is a guy i had completely forgotten about

right?

i still dont remember him

he joined the pats for just a year after some success in the mid-90s with 'this is how we do it'

he looks fine. might miss the trip to cincinnati but should be good to go next week.

So was it an achilles or not?

yep it was surgery on a torn achilles

bummer central

trying to stay #bostonstrong

I <3 Wilfork. He should do tv while he's out of commission.

he and freeney should have a tv show whey they roadtrip across america in wheelchairs

They should have a prank show, except their target every week for every prank is Albert Haynesworth.

haha would watch. i close my eyes and i'm already watching.

hold on he's gonna be back from a torn achilles in 2 weeks?

sad lols

That was wishful thinking I suspect.

he's out for the season

vince officially on IR, and pre-season all-star zach sudfeld released, hopefully makig it to practice squad

Despite all the injuries and rookie free agents and murders etc, this team is going to go at worst 12-4. It's amazing. Not criticizing, giving mad props. This is a hell of a franchise. They piss me off but I'm in awe

is it too soon to say the exciting 1st round 1-2 of jones and hightower is not really delivering?

after reading reiss's first half review i feel better about jones, i know a lot of good work happens invisibly in the trenches but i just didn't see him once. hightower on the other hand is supposed to be one of those all-round versatile guys, but i think he's just not actually very good at anything, which is close but not quite the same thing. i see him involved in breakdowns a lot; his movement looks poor.

i was kind of alarmed to see solder look like he blew two big sack plays but reiss pegged them as bad playcalls (mcdaniels!) that weren't correctly adjusted at the line (brady!). it just goes to reinforce that you don't really have a clue watching from armchair, and i for one don't really know what i am talking about, which i came to terms with a long time ago.

hightower is too gdamn slow to play outside lb

does he play at the same time as spikes? that seems like something out of the 1981 nfl

yup, pretty much. hightower plays most downs, spikes only plays running downs i think.

yeah mostly it's one or the other, altho with wilfork out i think they might show up together more. hightower his pursuit to the ball in a straight line is okay but if he has to change direction he moves like a garbage truck. and his coverage seems to be okay too if he's on the spot but quicker TEs and better route running RBs will lose him too easily.

to be fair i feel like mostly no LBs in the nfl can cover tight ends right now
