I'm also not the biggest baseball guy in the world, but I thought TJ surgery was still ending a fair number of careers.

It's not a career-ender anymore.  Actually, you'll see guys come back with a bit more velocity.  It's usually a year plus injury though.

I think most of that is on the players, not teams. Dez still thinks he'd be "the guy". If you are going to bring in a vet, they have to be ok with that role or it doesn't work.

Pretty much.  Do you wanna deal with the headaches involved with Dez if he still thinks he's "the guy"?  It's no different than Dwight Howard the last few years.

Is Taco Charlton basically a less athletic Rashan Gary?

The "successful NFL player" analogy would be Chandler Jones vs. Ezekiel Ansah, while Jones has made it work with length, power, and tenacity he only matches Ansah's burst when Ansah is injured.

It's just that "this guy hasn't figured it out in 2 years in the league yet" isn't going to inspire a lot of confidence in Charlton.

Browns OT Chris Hubbard (ankle) is in a walking boot.

Cleveland's pass-pro has been their Achilles' heel through two weeks and it doesn't get any better with Hubbard out for the foreseeable future. Justin McCray was benched in Week 1 after single-handedly allowing 4 pressures, a hit and 1 sack but the team has no choice but to slide him back in at right tackle
(at least in the interim).

First ballot HOF?

Eli Manning has started 232 of the Giants' last 233 regular-season games. The loss Sunday to the Bills dropped his record to .500 at 116-116. Manning started 210 consecutive regular-season games from Nov. 21, 2004 to Nov. 23, 2017, the second-longest streak by a quarterback in NFL history.
