we usually get the opening week and thanksgiving games during this owners meeting...or at least the primetime games.

I guess the ravens-orioles situation is holding this up?

I still think they are going to send us to philly as the homecoming team to kickoff the new eagles regime...

but I am hoping we open at 3:15 against the rams...no primetime game, do division opponent just a normal game, under the radar. Would love to play the rams before they get that team really together, because I have a feeling they are better than us.

We will open on one coast and then have a 2nd road game on the opposite coast. We will also end on the road.

At least, that's how they did us the last two years.

Week 1 prediction: Dallas @ Chicago, SNF

Sounds like something they would do.

as long as they don't have gb here or send us to New Orleans for that hornets nest with Payton back.

Although Dallas @ New Orleans on snf with the whole Payton angle is good deal for NBC. I imagine fox would be pissed though.

Shefter said Eric Winston is visiting the dolphins then mentioned Dallas and a few others are also interested.

I would like him here. can't be too expensive though.

Apparently mid broaddus says this is news to the cowboys, so it must be shefter just getting it wrong again. Des that guy ever get anything right?

Bill jones was just saying he doesn't even think Winston is an upgrade over free.

Yeah something doesnt add up. The Chiefs had all kinds of cap room I believe, and Andy Reid cut the guy without giving it a 2nd thought even though he only played a year of his deal.

Channeling my Sophia...

Picture it. Draft day. 2013.

Chance Warmack falls to us at 18.

We take a lower rated player because we signed some guy named Brandon Moore in free agency.

Or better yet we take Warmack and he starts at one G, Moore starts at the other.

Maybe someone else has the info, but pretty sure Moore was one of the top rated G's in the league last year for the Jets

‏@ProFootballTalk 6m TE Kellen Davis signs a one-year deal with the Browns, per league source.


This is a guy we brought in last year and thought we had a deal with but he decided at the last minute to go back to Chicago. Pretty telling that we lose Phillips, Davis is available, and we can't do anything. But keep telling people our cap is fine and it's never affected us, homers.

Looks like TE is getting the OL treatment. This will end well.

Brace yourself. we are going to draft one and then in the UDFA market bring in at least two like we always do.

hopefully we find someone who will fit what they are looking for.

imo to fix this running game, the tight ends and fullbacks have to be good and right now as far as blocking goes from both sans witten I dont really know that we have the players we want.

and that leads us to another problem, garrett has been trying to find a te/fb for seemingly four years and can not get it right.

and people want him to look for a quarterback. No thanks.

Even Witten's blocking has dropped pretty big. I remember him saying how it wasn't hard once - you just have to get in someone's way and shield them. While this is true in alot of cases pass blocking and in the open field, at the point of attack you need push. We missed Bennett last year, no question.
