RpMc Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 would be a nice addition to our tight end corps and could maybe be an in house Rudolph replacement should the need to do so arise. Cousins does well with athletic tight ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who’s playing OLB? Last year was Quinn and the ghost of Connor Barwin. Ourlads says it’s Ethan Westbrook and Matt Longacre. Why not sign a pass rusher and save money by signing an actual nose tackle to play 1-tech? Dontari Poe maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klomp Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Withdrawn rule: 15-yard penalty for pass interferenceWhat it means: Pass interference will remain a spot foul. The New York Jets had proposed a rule to change it to 15 yards, regardless of where it occurs on the field. This idea has been proposed before, but it gathered more momentum than in years past. Among those who supported it was New York Giants co-owner John Mara. Of the 303 such penalties last season, 129 were walked off more than 15 yards. But the Jets withdrew it before a vote, knowing it would not pass. Concerns remain about the incentive for defensive backs to commit intentional fouls beyond 15 yards to prevent big plays. The proposal made exceptions for "intentional and egregious" contact, but that distinction is considered too subjective for officials to make on a consistent basis. http://www.espn.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/272769/guide-to-nfls-new-rules-what-to-know-about-approved-tabled-and-rejected-proposals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would actually eliminate most football plays They actually unanimously approved of this rule when there isn’t any actual language to the rule. This is amputating the arm (from the shoulder) because of a hangnail. Edited March 28, 2018 by SemperFeist 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted April 3, 2018 Share Posted April 3, 2018 (edited) Most teams wouldn’t be eager to trade a 28-year-old future Hall of Famer with two more years on his contract at affordable salaries. But the Patriots aren’t like most teams, so the talk that Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski could be traded has to be taken seriously. Given the history of Patriots coach Bill Belichick wanting to move on from players too early, rather than too late. Belichick would much rather trade a player away when he can still get something valuable for him, rather than wait until that player gets older and loses a step, or until that player’s contract makes him harder to afford, or until that player hits free agency and leaves without the Patriots getting anything in return. The list of noteworthy players that Belichick has traded is long. Randy Moss, Chandler Jones, Jamie Collins, Richard Seymour, Logan Mankins, Mike Vrabel, Deion Branch, Drew Bledsoe, Matt Cassel, Jimmy Garoppolo and Jacoby Brissett, to name a few, have been sent packing by Belichick. Albert Breer of SI.com reported that two teams are planning to make offers to the Patriots for Gronk. If those offers are good enough, it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see a trade made on draft day. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/04/02/trading-gronk-wouldnt-be-out-of-character-for-belichick/ Edited April 3, 2018 by vike daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
