All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Not only did he get popped for illegal drugs and miss 4 games.
In 5 games played this year he has 3 catches for 25 yards. He can't block a lick either. I had great expectations for this guy. Cost us Ravens game with fumble too.
I won't disagree with the assessment, although I'd argue about how much Gailey uses his tight ends to begin with, but I will argue the Ravens game. He didn't cost us that. The refs did by not blowing the whistle. No consistency with them and the forward progress rule this season.

I think Nelson would be more productive in another system, like the NYJ offense or something.
But in this spread offense where Gailey is putting his best route runners on the field, which is typically the WRs, then his use is limited.
If we were doing more I formation sets with play-action and that sort of thing he would be making more plays.
I know he was hurt when he came off his suspension, so I'm not sure how much he played in the games immediately following his 4 game "vacation."
But I agree that he hasn't done much. Some of it may be due to Gailey's not using the TE as a big part of his offense.
I would like to see more of him in the last 6 games to see if he can at least be a receiving threat for us, or if we have to add TE to next season's wish list.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

Jan, there you go again, clouding the issue with facts...
The guy has been injured, and the offense was busy finding it's groove, while he was taking a little PTO. Considering that our defense doesn't allow for a lot of experimenting, we kind of have to stick with what's working.
This season ended up not being the opportune time for Nelson to develop... I don't think there is a whole lot more to it than that.
not to be overly repetitive, but it's not like he's maybin and benched and someone else in his position is outperforming him.
it seems to be the nature of our offensive beast for the time being.
I'm sure once the league starts to try to take away johnson and evans, and creep up a LB to stop fred jackson, the TE's and slot receivers will "explode all over the opposition" - Steve Tasker.
Gailey likes a spread type formation. Your not going to see much offensive production out of any TE in that style of offense. On occasion a play is called to a TE, but it will be a rare occurrence. Nelson will just have to learn to become a better blocking TE to continue playing here. It's not entirely his fault is the point I'm making here.
