I'd assume step one is having NFL talent at running back. Then step two is eating so much someone puts this into your contract.

it's a stepped thing
they're trying to get him down to like 245 or whatever via a series of incremental weigh-in incentives like this

the packers always wanted to play him at around 230, which apparently was a big issue.

Super Bowl 49 is the only time I've ever bought anything explicitly "12" branded. It was a bottle of whiskey and I drank half of that loving bottle within the half-hour after the game ended, but I'd eaten so much food I didn't even feel it.

I will never loving buy anything Seahawks related with a "12" on it ever again, that number is cursed in my household.

Fair I guess, although the lady who gave it to me isn't a Pats fan and was just trying to be nice.

I'll probably keep it, it's pretty drat sweet that we made the Bowl in the first place and were so close to repeating. This era of Seattle football has been so much fun.

It's Jeff Fisher's fault he has no concept of the time it takes for his pass to reach his target. Fisher told him to aim at where his target is, not where it will be.

What Fisher did was take a player who was an experienced, talented expert of a modern spread offense, and tried to force him into the mold of a 1970s era pocket QB in a single season. I'm not sure why this is so confusing? It'd be akin to taking someone who's played defense their whole career, or hell, something really weird like basketball, and expecting them to be a competent starting offensive linem....oh, nm, I see the issue.

Yah I don't get it, Cousins especially because he has been more consistent. But Bradford actually played well last year behind one of the worst OLines in the league (due to injury).

Bradford was never bad. He was injury prone and on horribly coached teams.

Bradford is a top 10 QB and he could take the Texans or Broncos to the Super Bowl.

This year will probably be the best offensive unit the Rams have put on the field since 2003. Sammy Watkins was the best move as they now have a legitimate number 1 wide receiver which makes everyone on the depth chart behind him look so much better. Tavon Austin, Pharoh Cooper, Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods sound a lot better when they are not the number one option in your offense. Andrew Whitworth is the best Left Tackle they've had since Orlando Pace's release. Todd Gurley can't be as bad as he was last season. The only issue they will have is depth as Jeff Fisher stacked the defense at the expense of completely depleting the offense.

All I'm saying is if Jared Goff can't toss at least 20 TDs this year with a 60% completion rate he loving sucks.
