Of the playoff teams: Arizona - Ertz (19), Kirk (17.4), Green (15.6), Moore (11) though it should be noted that Hopkins going down forced them to balance distribution Buffalo - Diggs (25.2), Beasley (17.1), Sanders (11), Knox (10.8) Cincinnati - Chase (23.1), Higgins (19.8), Boyd (16.9), Uzomah (11.4) Dallas - Lamb (18.5), Schultz (16.1), Cooper (15.9), Elliott (10) Green Bay - Adams (28.5), Jones (11), Lazard (10.1), MVS (9.3) Indianapolis - Pittman (24.8), Pascal (13.2), Hines (10.9), Taylor (9.8) Kansas City - Hill (23.6), Kelce (19.9), Hardman (12.3), Pringle (8.9) LA Rams - Kupp (31.5), Van Jefferson (14.7), Higbee (14), OBJ (13.5) Las Vegas - Renfrow (20.4), Waller (14.8), Jones (11.1), Jacobs (10.2) New England - Meyers (23.6), Henry (14), Bourne (13.1), Agholor (12) Pittsburgh - Johnson (25.5), Claypool (15.8), Harris (14.2), Freiermuth (11.9) San Francisco - Samuel (23.5), Kittle (18.3), Aiyuk (16.3), Jennings (7.4) Tampa Bay - Godwin (17.5), Evans (15.6), Gronkowski (12.2), Fournette (11.5) Tennessee - Brown (19.6), Westbrook-Ikhine (10.7), Jones (9), Firskey (8) though Brown and Jones missed a good chunk of time. So you had one of the most unbalanced teams and one of the most balanced teams make it through to the Super Bowl. 2. Adding OBJ didn't really change Kupp's target share since he was still seeing a 15+ percent more targets than Woods or Jefferson. It's probably a QB tendency thing more than anything. 3. By .8 percent. My guess is the Packers and Rams would be pretty even in terms of difference had MVS stayed healthy as he was averaging about a 14 percent target share including his glorified decoy/ineffective Week 17/18 games. He was averaging a 16 percent target share when healthy. It comes down to whether its working. If your WR1 is winning all of the time regardless of how many guys are covering him then there really isn't a problem in throwing everything his way. Just need to be able to do something different when you need to. You need the deep threat which makes it harder to blanket Adams. When your WR2 is Lazard then frankly you are going to be looking for Adams whenever you can. A fast receiver that defences respect and a competent receiving TE opens everything up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranch dressing is the lowest tier of sauces and condiments. It doesn't enhance flavor, it masks flavor. The go to dressing for people who don't like salad, and whose pizza and wings are too spicy. Or used to cover your vegetables because you don't like vegetables but you have to eat them because you were told to. It is the ordering chicken fingers at the restaurant of sauce. Poll of 16 year old girls will make ranch dressing popular. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buddhist lesson #1: Life is suffering. Edit: I thought Ranch was a poster abused by Incog. Now I can’t decide if lesson #1 is still germaine or not. That said, ranch dressing is not bad, but it bothers me. Like finding the bartender has put an orange on my beer glass bothers me. Lowbrow masquerading as pretentiousness.

craig Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 21 minutes ago, dust247 said: McAfee said yesterday that retirement was a real option for A-Rod. Does knowing that, change how you handle Jordan Love moving forward? How does contract, retirement, and signing-bonus work? And void years? For example: Does the player keep all of the signing bonus, and only lose the seasonal salaries for the seasons that he doesn't play? Or does he somehow return portion of the signing bonus? Even if he doesn't return any, does the league still salary-cap charge the team for all of that signing bonus? Or do some of the signing bonus charge get eliminated? https://www.behindthesteelcurtain.com/pittsburgh-steelers-nfl-features-news-blog-long-form/2016/3/5/11158958/nfl-101-how-cuts-retirements-and-trades-affect-the-salary-cap OK, so per this 2016 article, the default is that a team is fully salary-cap charged, same as if they cut the player. But there is an option: "When a player retires, the team has the option to pursue the return of a portion of the signing bonus equal to the unplayed portions of the contract, and that money is no longer counted against the salary cap. This is typically done through an arbitrator." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
