46 year-old Terrell Owens looks like he could still play in the NFL.

Just ran a ~4.4 and looks to be carved out of granite:

Owens was about 3 yards back of Hill, which puts his time at more like 4.7.

The difference between 4.37 and 4.42 in a 40 is about 1/2 yard.

One hour past the deadline and very quiet on the opt out front.
My understanding is that the deadline was a soft deadline with many potential exceptions allowing players to opt out later.

I am predicting they will go with the Washington Warriors.

JOSH ALLEN
QB, BUFFALO BILLS

Bills QB Josh Allen struggled during Tuesday's practice, often staring down his receivers and having multiple passes broken up or intercepted.
Allen wasn't "on the same page" with his wideouts, holding "onto the ball in the pocket, hoping for the expected routes to come open," according to The Athletic. Allen twice felt pressure and threw passes over the middle that were "nowhere close" to John Brown. It's a very different account than Cole Beasley saying this week that Allen was "throwing guys open." Allen's inaccuracy and erratic play don't really matter for fantasy purposes as long as he continues to flee to the pocket and pile up rushing yards and touchdowns.

Remember when he was a rookie and everyone commented about his positive presence and diplomacy in front of the cameras?

I will give this to Diggs: he is bright and articulate. He has a bit of impatience that comes from wanting to be great. You can say that's a character flaw and I wouldn't disagree. It's true that he got a little bit out of character, but I will give him some benefit of the doubt and say he is intensely driven. Some of the best wide receivers are like that.

I always thought that Diggs was the biggest showboater/celebrator of all the WRs in the NFL. I didn't care, because his play backed him up.



Bill Johanesen -> RE: Other NFL News (8/20/2020 5:35:54 PM)

Diggs was an attention whore here, and didn't care if the team was flagged 15 yards for his antics. He's in proverbial Siberia now, so has his work cut out for him but he WILL find a way to get attention.

He is battling to be in the new group of WRs actually working to be a major distraction and general pain in the ass. To aid his cause, he has his brother's tweets!

I’d put up with talent.

It’s a game, not the no fun league.

So what was Diggs' problem? Not the #1 guy here?

Don't forget Smoot and McKinnie's love boat or Favre texting dic pics to the trainer.

With age and injury to Theilen it appeared Diggs had already wrestled that mantle away from Theilen.

Not sure what his beef really was. But I don't think it is going to take long for him to regret this after watching Josh Allen throw his targets into another zip code.

I'm not sure I agree, or Diggs did, either. At least the perception of it anyway. Did it make it all that much worse for Diggs that Theilen was white and a Minnesota boy? I ain't gonna lie, it has that feel about it

Let's face it, despite the Minneapolis Miracle, Thielen was more beloved hereabouts.

Proverbial Siberia went 10-6 last season just the same as the Vikes. Now they don't have Brady in their division.



Mark Anderson -> RE: Other NFL News (8/21/2020 10:59:58 AM)

If we didn't get the haul we got(Jefferson ++) Diggs would be a huge loss. He made alot of big plays for us.

Diggs will miss the indoor games come November and December. AFC East is probably the worst weather division in all the NFL.

Diggs doesn't give a rat's ass about his teams record, at best it's secondary to his stats/glory.

Those games would be fun to watch. "The DB falls down, Diggs wide open deep... overthrown by 5 yards!" <meltdown>

And/or that when Diggs was out, Theilen was shut down? That was tweeted by the brother (?) in no uncertain terms.

They would if a Buffalo game was ever nationally televised.
