Ryan kalil is dead as Melanie

quote:

The Charlotte Observer reports Panthers C Ryan Kalil looks "healthier than he has in awhile" in OTAs.

Injuries, including a serious 2017 neck ailment, have limited 33-year-old Kalil to just 14 games over the past two years. It's the main reason he has said 2018 will be his final season. His healthy presence in the middle would be a huge boost for the Panthers.

I don't believe in talent dilution. I believe the recent horrific play has been dictated by rule changes and the rookie scale from the CBA making teams pick unproven rookies over old veterans with a bit left in the tank.

Teams might have better talent if they had bigger rosters. They could afford to keep guys longer before cutting them. Same with more teams--more jobs in the league, guys get more chances and end up being better players.

The Kaepernick legal team has already conducted more than 14 depositions of league coaches, managers and owners including billionaire Patriots owner Bob Kraft Geragos said, revealing that several owners have testified that Trump and/or Kaepernick’s position regarding the national anthem influenced their hiring practices.

Yeah there's a ton of guys that are athletic freaks and get the offseason camp and then cut because they're too dumb to get the playbook in a month or so.

Maybe the roster cuts getting pushed back helps though, this will be the second year of that.

We should have 75-man rosters. 53-man with 45 gameday is restrictive as hell.

This is true, though. I only say it's boring because it isn't significantly different. I do think it looks better than their normal jerseys.

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/05/30/jerry-jones-president-made-it-clear-that-he-wasnt-letting-anthem-issue-go/

quote:

The first snippets of testimony have emerged from the depositions taken in the Colin Kaepernick collusion grievance. And it’s becoming even more obvious that the NFL changed its anthem policy at the direct behest of the President.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, while testifying in the Kaepernick collusion grievance, shared the details of a phone call with the President.

“This is a very winning, strong issue for me,” the President told Jones, according to Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal. “Tell everybody, you can’t win this one. This one lifts me.”

The President was right. There was no way to win. Even by giving in.

Per Beaton, the NFL declined comment on the matter, citing the confidentiality that applies to the grievance proceedings. A White House official did not dispute the testimony.

“The majority of the American people agree with the president, love our country, love our flag and believe it should be respected,” the White House official told Beaton. (This ignores the results of the NFL’s secret poll from last year, which showed that people both opposed and supported the protests that have been happening during the anthem. The NFL has chosen, however, to heed only the opinions of those who oppose the protests, possibly because that side reflects the President’s stated viewpoint.)

Beaton also reports that Jones, along with Texans owner Bob McNair and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, testified that they believed the protests were hurting the NFL financially. Which of course conflicts with recent statements from Falcons owner Arthur Blank, who justified the new contract given to Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan by claiming that league and club revenues are up.

Regardless of whether it’s rooted in fact, owners have chosen to believe that the protests are bad for business, in large part because the President had chosen to continue to stir up his base by chastising the NFL for allowing the protests. Which not only suggests that collusion arising from a mutual desire to placate the President may be influencing the ongoing unemployment of Kaepernick and Eric Reid, but also potentially bolsters the opinion of attorney Mark Geragos that the President may have run afoul of federal law by interfering with private employment decisions for political reasons.

my day 1 prediction that Jerry Jones would somehow end up moronically incriminating every owner and making Kaep's case for him is vindicated

it's just too bad that rich white people are literally immune from all laws and that NFL owners are overwhelmingly white and without exception rich

Sorry.

quote:

“…you think about a guy like Andy Reid over in Kansas City. You think about what they did last year. They’re in the playoffs, they’re up 22 to zero. Then they come out and they don’t score anymore. They lack a big play receiver or they lack somebody to draw attention so other guys are able to operate and move the chains. That’s what really stifled them from really progressing into the playoffs.”
