This is how Parcells takes losers to respectability. He brings in guys who can contribute in small ways, it is cheaper then spending big bucks on stars and it has worked for the Patsies as well, who have very few stars but a roster full of good players. I like the approach of TD getting tougher and players who are competitors. These are guys like Evans who have been on top went to the bottom(because of injury) and got back on top again. thats why I like our first day and hope we continue the trend on day 2 and June 1 cuts.

Well said. The direct counterpoint to the Dan Snyder "Buy Now/Pay Later" approach.

The TE in the 4th was probably good as well since he can play on passing downs and maybe make some plays, it will allow the bills to leave a TE out there and possibly make some mismatches.

At 6'4 with 4.7 speed he creates instant matchup problems in the redzone.

He better be fast, cause the Oline still sucks in pass protection.

We dont really know if the O-Line sucks, lets see how they do when we dont leave just 5 guys into block with 7 guys blitzing and make our QB go through 5 different reads till he finds a target

Only 5 reads? More like 243 different combinations when they were in 5-wide stets.
