NFL 2021 season - Belichick Strikes Back

I can't believe both the Bengals and Dolphins passed up OT Penei Sewell for college teammates of their QB's. Protecting their blind sides? Pfft.

The 'Phins have already spent money and picks on the OL and even the best Offensive Line can only protect for so long if no one is open.
So I would have preferred Chase, but Waddle has speed and showed toughness and a drive to win last year (Chase sat out, as did Sewell) so he will ramp up quickly. Miami had a good day.
 
First three picks in the draft are QBs. I'll bet, in the long run, 2 of those 3 turn out to be either busts or merely mediocre QBs. Not that I wouldn't have taken a chance on them, but so many high profile QBs just end up duds for where they're picked.

Eh - the Bengals low-key signed Riley Reiff already and they have Jonah Williams who played well last year when healthy. I'd say OG was a more pressing need for them heading into the draft (than tackle, I mean).

Reiff is a stop-gap measure. I guess I'm just old-school. When you have a chance to get your QB a decade long blind side blocker, you do it. Especially where you have Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd already on the roster.

I can still remember the transformation in the team when they selected Anthony Munoz, and the suffering they inflicted on their QB's when they passed on Willie Roaf for John Copeland.
 
Colt Brennan has died at the age of 37. He was at a rehab facility when he was found unconscious. His family was there at his side when he passed.
 
Bad News for Aaron Radger the Cleveland Browns will NOT take him. Even IF Green Bay let him go LOL. Too bad for him Cleveland Browns are good this year LOL
 
Looks like Julio Jones is on the way out of Atlanta - where does he land? 32 years old coming off an injury, but I think he still has a lot to offer.

I just don't see Atlanta getting a first round pick for him without eating a lot of what he is owed, which defeats the purpose of trading him because they are in cap hell.
 
NFL pledges to halt 'race-norming,' review Black claims (source: Associated Press)
The NFL on Wednesday pledged to halt the use of “race-norming” — which assumed Black players started out with lower cognitive function — in the $1 billion settlement of brain injury claims and review past scores for any potential race bias.

The practice made it harder for Black retirees to show a deficit and qualify for an award. The standards were created in the 1990s in hopes of offering more appropriate treatment to dementia patients, but critics faulted the way they were used to determine payouts in the NFL concussion case.

Wednesday’s announcement comes after a pair of Black players filed a civil rights lawsuit over the practice, medical experts raised concerns and a group of NFL families last month dropped 50,000 petitions at the federal courthouse in Philadelphia — where the lawsuit had been thrown out by the judge overseeing the settlement.

Did you see the USFL is coming back next year? And the XFL is plotting a return too. Seems like a lot of money going into spring football with nothing to show for it. Speaking of spring football, has anyone watched the Spring League? It's been around but I don't know if it's gotten national TV coverage before. They don't pay the players. In fact, the players have to pay to try out! I guess that's one way to not bleed money.
 
Got my tickets for SoFi Stadium!

Seahawks at Rams in December.

It looks like a magnificent facility. A Cathedral for All That is Good and Holy.

Can't wait.
