COB

Chase showed up late today for practice and in street clothes. Hopefully it means they’re about to sign something and his agent doesn’t want him to risk anything. If it’s just further hold out stuff it’s bullshit and I don’t like it. You’re either on the bus or you’re off the bus.

Trey Hill gone. Matt Lee must be our backup center.

Thank you for that information, Army. That’ll have a big influence on who we pursue.

This is straight up bullshit - Nick Chubb is out for the first four weeks, but we don’t play the Browns until week 7. I’m pissed.

I forgot that Housh vouched for this guy. Best to just disregard former players’ recommendations. Big Willie was fully boosting Jackson Carman.

Seems like it might be garden variety diva entitlement behavior. He’s hugely talented so this may be the first time he’s been checked. How he reacts will tell the story.

Dehner says Iosivas gets the #3 role and pretty much trashes Burton. Said the coaches don’t think he’s ready, tried him at returner but he’s not ready there either. This dude must be a complete tool because we’ve got really chill coaches who normally won’t say shit even when they have a mouth full.

Perine seems to be a probable cut in Denver. I hope we get him. Once you account for injuries, etc, our 4th rb could see the field a lot in the playoffs. I trust Perine and he was a good pass blocker when he was here.

Carman over here cleaning out my gutters: 1. I had to help him carry his ladder from his truck. 2. I had to show him how to properly use his ladder. 3. He didn’t bring any trash bags so I had to give him a couple so he would have someplace to put all the gutter detritus. 4. He took a nap in my yard.

Jackson Carman, man what a bust. He just couldn’t get it going here.

If he actually does sit out games, I wonder what effect that will have on his status with the bengals. Pay Tee instead? Burrow would like be pissed.

Chase sat out his whole 3rd season at LSU to avoid injury after agents assured him he was a top draft pick even without playing. That’s the reality of this dude.

Burton just needs to get in his playbook, per Burrow.

Sign Chase today.

I think those contract numbers are reasonable. 1. Lots of receivers in the upcoming draft? WTF? Any of those guys going to play like Jamar Chase? Very unlikely. 2. The formula of season yard totals = contract value is faulty and is not used to set contract values for nfl receivers. It’s one metric but just one. 3. Chase’s value is just going to rise as the salary cap gets reset every year. I remember when we gave Andy 100 million and everyone, including me, freaked out. A few years later it was a bargain. 4. Don’t compare JJ to Chase. Chase is a hard nosed football player who gets first downs on 3rd and 6 like a tight end, in heavy contact plays. He also is the best downfield blocker I’ve ever seen. Chase is the furthest thing from the standard issue diva receiver who just looks for big personal stats and pouts if he doesn’t get the ball 15 times a game. It is completely unfair to judge him based on one stat when he’s the antithesis of that stat hunting stereotype.

If you can’t make the Jets, I assume you are finished.

That could have been worse. 2-3 weeks is something we can handle with our other defensive ends getting healthy.

Per reports Burrow threw well today.

Hope he just strained it or something, really need him to make an impact this year.

Myles Murphy down, grabbing his knee.

Releasing the hostages, and have agreed to pay the vet bill for my neighbor’s dog.

He’s got two and a half weeks to get that wrist right. I can hardly believe this. He had that surgery like 9 months ago, the most advanced rehab available. Maybe it’s just fatigue! (I’m already past denial and anger, solidly in the bargaining stage).

Jesus fucking Christ this can’t be happening.

Burton could be the backup kick returner. From what I’ve seen I’m not sure they’d make him the main kick returner. Too much risk for a guy who looks like he could turn into something as a receiver.

The Bears have designed a practice field to tear their opponents’ patellar tendons. Diabolical.
