I thought Williams went to AlabamaA smart Ohio State graduate who didn't know?..............after Ridley.............after the rookie symposium.............after the NFLPA memorandum............Florio would have a difficult time in the real world as an in-court defense attorney.

Then why bother? Get rid of it. Spot the ball on the 20 after the other team scores & lets get on with it.
Needless injuries? Then why is God'ell pushing for Thursday night flex games if he's truly worried about injuries?
He is worried people will get injured and not be able to play in the flexed games.Needless injuries? Then why is God'ell pushing for Thursday night flex games if he's truly worried about injuries?
People like exciting plays. The KR/PR is one of the most exciting plays in the game. A true tone setting play. Knile Davis 100 yd KR before I could get seated in a playoff game comes to mind.
I would. He’s not a nut case like AB.Bring Hop back if it’s reasonable. What do y’all think?

Neither party has shown any interest in a reunion.I would. He’s not a nut case like AB.
If Brady wants to play for the team he partially owns, why not let him do it? Playing for a different team would be a problem. Playing for the Raiders should be no big deal.
How will defenses account for Waddle/Hill at WR and Mostert/Achane at RB? All have elite speed and can line up anywhere. Mcdaniel has built a formidable offense in a short time.
I agree. But technically, someone could make the following case.............just as it is against NFL rules for a player or coach to even bet for their respective team.............it would seem that owning part of a team you play for could easily be interpretted as theoretically doing something somewhat similar?Heaven Can Wait
I don't know what the rules say, or even where to find them. Just pointing out the similarities to an old fantasy movie.I agree.

REPORT: Cardinals Accuse DeAndre Hopkins Of Refusing To Suit Up While Healthy
The Arizona Cardinals released DeAndre Hopkins this Friday. It's now being reported that they were pissed off at him for missing games.www.totalprosports.com
He played hurt numerous times as a Texan. If true, it’s likely because he’s decided to be more of a businessman than football player at this stage of his career. Another reason to pass.
In a ESPN NFL article regarding Hopkins’ best landing spots…..the Cowboys would be the only team in the group lining him up in the slot. The Cowboys would have Lamb and Cooks on the outside….which makes the SWR position Hopkins to own.
Looks like the Cards decided to take out the trash.REPORT: Cardinals Accuse DeAndre Hopkins Of Refusing To Suit Up While Healthy

UDFA WR Justyn Ross has been signed to the Chiefs 90. This is one player that if I were a team physician, I would NEVER even consider clearing him to play.
The impact of the 17th game goes way beyond just the offensive line.

Mike McCarthy: The impact of the 17th game on keeping our team healthy is real
Posted by Michael David Smith on June 3, 2023, 4:38 AM EDT
The NFL is heading into its third 17-game season in 2023, and teams are still adjusting to the extra wear and tear that an extra game puts on the players.
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy mentioned that this week, noting that continuity with the same players healthy and on the field each week is a key to success in the NFL.

“I think the 17th game impact is real. I have felt it with our team,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy was answering a question specifically about continuity on his offensive line.
“History will tell you continuity factors into your wins and losses. You look at the history of five offensive linemen lining up and starting every game of a season on the win total, I don’t recall the exact number, but it’s a significant number,” McCarthy said.
McCarthy added that the importance of continuity is something coaches have been talking more about that in the last couple years. The owners have decided that the 17-game season isn’t going away (unless it gets replaced by an 18-game season), but the coaches and players are still adjusting.
The greatest impact is on the health of teams in general. Only 14 of 32 teams will play the 18th game, 8 teams will play the 19th game, only 4 will play the 20th game, and 2 will play the 21st game. And it is obvious that most of the teams to certain extents limp into and through the playoffs. I've talked to enough players to know that virtually none of them feel "healthy" even before the 17th game (if they are fortunate enough to make it to the 17th game).......and noticeably worse after. This cannot help but negatively affect the quality of play and continuity of all positions on the offense, defense and special teams.Playoff teams have been playing 17, 18, 19 and sometimes 20 games for years. I get that continuity for an OL is important, but I think blaming the lack of it on a 17th regular season game is reaching.

Nevertheless, the lengthening of seasons invariably affect players and teams. It also invariably complicates things for players and teams. Each game is a signifiicant trauma to the players. It is easy to say that teams should be responsible for developing depth. But we also know that in most cases, there is a reason why players are depth and not starters. There is not enough NFL starter talent or enough allowed team roster numbers to legitimately be able to develop truly competitive depth. When we watch the playoffs, we want to see top talent on the field...........not hopeful wanna be's or scrubs............which we have seen too much of in recent years.The key is developing depth. And giving backups practice snaps during the week.
When I first began following the NFL, there was a 14 game season and a 40 man roster. Developing depth was a necessity. It’s football. There will be injuries no matter the length of the season. The teams that best deal with that come out on top.
Adding 1 extra game doesn't really affect the product that much. IMHO Now adding the Thursday night games has certainly affected the product.Nevertheless, the lengthening of seasons invariably affect players and teams.

I agree with you. I feel this way.When we watch the playoffs, we want to see top talent on the field...........not hopeful wanna be's or scrubs.
Moving on for several reasons is on the table.I agree with you. I feel this way.
But, it appears that college football is bigger, as far as people watching, & they're not such a stickler for "top talent." They seem to enjoy having a few top talents that can dominate the other team offensively.
It also appears to be the trend the NFL has been headed for some time now. Dinosaurs like you & I are going to have to deal, or move on. I'm leaning toward moving on.

Don't necessarily disagree but it's better than 3 days.A week is not even really enough recovery time for what the body goes through in a football game, especially after the first half of the season.
What's so dangerous about Europe?And think about them wanting to expand into Europe.
