Mariota returning punts?
Personal punt protector.

How many years has it been since his bar-mitzvah? We need to get younger on OL.
We also need to get CHEAPER on the O line. We're the highest spending team - by quite a bit - in that area.

Here's how I see it ...
The league is trying to create parity - a less bipolar league of haves and have nots like back when there were dynasties and also-rans, and you were either one or the other. And for the most part it's working. But you can't make it work all the time; there will always be some organisations that defy, either by being consistently good or consistently bad. So teams like the Browns may have a good year, but revert to form the next 10 years, or teams like the Patsies or Packers will have a bad year but revert to form.
What this means is that since there are fewer bad teams, there are also fewer good teams, and the play-offs tend to end up being the usual suspects ... as does the top of the draft. Some teams will fluctuate here and there in the short term - look no further than our 4-12 to 10-6 Jets - which gives excitement and the illusion of progress. But overall the bulk of the league remains mostly in that middle ground.
Is this any different from how it used to be? Better or worse? Depends on what team you support ... the 49ers and Cowboys of old are replaced by the Patsies, Broncos, Packers and so on. The colours change, but overall the set up to me remains the same - haves and have nots. And when your generationl coach or QB moves on, someone replaces you and the wheel continues to turn. And the money continues to roll in.

Rob Moore
(Actually, I didn't realise he played here as long as he did ... so maybe not)

They were fantastic against the run (No. 2 in yards allowed), but they were pedestrian outside the box and rushing the passer.
The Rex Ryan Legacy.

Who invited Rex to this conversation ?
Rex would go D line every time. Can't have enough D linemen.

Though it would be priceless to have Scooby and Snacks on the same team!!!!
-
Screaming Scooby Dooby Doo!!!!! every time he made a play could rekindle my love for the game. I need this.
If we got some SOJ luck, it'd more like "Scooby Doo, where are you?"

Carolina did absolutely nothing in the second half and won by 7.
You get to do that when you're 31-0 up at half time.

Stop, ffs it's a broken bone, no ligament damage at all. He's fine. It does nothing to his value

I always love the argument that says we have to pay him JJ Watt money to keep him, but we'd be lucky to get a 2nd round pick for him.

Ouch!!

Whatever happened to "the team no-one wants to face"??
-
Panthers up 2 scores and they haven't even thrown the ball yet.

The Seahawks O-line looks like swiss cheese so far.
Something that surprised me as I was looking at cap stuff yesterday - Seahawks spent the third smallest amount on their O Line ($12.8m) this year.
Jets spent the most ($33.2m)

err, not true, as paraphrasing Mac (thx DaBallhawk) http://forums.theganggreen.com/threads/maccs-season-ticket-holders-presser.86221/
RE: Cap room for '16
Focus last year was to put the most competitive team we can out there. The thought process was to add these veterans to help the younger players to grow, mentioned guys like Revis, Skrine, Cro and Gilchrist. Great veteran presence. Long term success comes from developing young players, drafting good players so that's why we added those veterans. It wasn't because of a closing window or that we have to win now, the goal all along was to get veterans to carry this team for 1-3 years and help develop the young guys to take over for them at some point and play at a very high level. I'm assuming he's referring to guys like Marcus Williams.I'd say Mo fits into both these categories - young and good. I'm sure they'll make every effort to resign him at the expense of older players (looking at you Cro!).

Last year Cumby saw more playing time than Decker ... SMH at Rex thinking this guy was deserving of that playing time.

In fairness, they're rumored to be letting one of them go because he decided not to play this year when he found out he was going to have to do what the coaches asked of him, not what he felt like doing. That's going to create a huge hole for them.
I'm seeing the whole thing as another knock on Rex's greatness ... I always heard he needs really good talent run his D, now I hear he needs really good self-motivated talent.
You give a guy like Mario Williams to a DC he should be eating opponent QBs for breakfast. Rex has him covering TEs and RBs. What a waste.

Wondeful the bills are one pick ahead of us in draft

And no surprise that Kiper has them taking a DL.
I thought they had the players to be the best DL in football already???
-
The guy went from stardom in the NCAA to the NFL to death row to killing himself........
I think he fitted in a trip to NFL Europe somewhere in there too.
-
He'll get good penetration in a spread formation.
I heard he shies away from hitting a tight end ...

circus
What, is that where he's taking the kids at the weekend?
-
If there's one thing that was proven last year - Macc will NOT shy away from talent just because we're already good at a position. So if Elliot is there, and they think enough of him, they'll take him, regardless of what we do in FA with Ivory / Powell / etc.
-
Amazing more people don't understand this simple concept.
This is 100% accurate.
I'd argue that you don't need a top RB if you already have a top QB.
But you won't go far if you have neither.
And if you have both ... you'll go even further (Seattle would be the best example of the moment).

I think he was referring to his play on the field. He played soft, looked pouty.
He certainly looked most times like he wanted to avoid contact downfield - didn't fight for the ball, allowed defenders to push him off his route and so on. Too easy for a DB to defend a guy like that.
I'm hoping in the offseason he can learn how to impose himself a bit more.
