Another factor is the sticky nature of artificial turf.

No, it's how defensive backs are taught to tackle much larger opponents, tackle them higher and they shed you or carry you for ten yards.

He is an undersized, one trick pony at this point, although it's a superior trick. Whether he can become more than that remains to be seen, but they were adjusting to him.

I agree on the pass interference and roughness, but they let some of those go on the Rams, also so I don't think it over benefited either team. However, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the tackle on Higbee.

They are loose. They're not worried at all.

He played injured his rookie season, eventually leading to the surgery.

It’s not at all debatable, it’s entirely injury related. I get it, he’s a high draft pick who hasn’t produced yet, but he’s coming off major surgery. Like a pitcher coming off TJ, it can take more than a full year to get everything back. He may never, but you can’t evaluate anyone based on injury related performance.

People say things like this all the time, and then they get beat.

Dallas had only one timeout remaining.

I wouldn't give up a draft pick for a short term deal.

He did, Jeff Greenberg.

It's kind of misleading to rate quarterbacks on what are basically team stats.

They can option Faedo, can't option Wentz

Most of his control issues came when he was suffering with a herniated disc in his neck, when he came back off the 60 day, he barely walked anyone.

They just need to share broadcast revenues.

I agree, with starters you can safely assume they've reached muscle failure and need full recovery. With relievers, there are so many more variables.

The latter

They know a great deal about recovery cycles, four days rest is generally optimal, but may vary with some individuals, with peak strength occurring on the fifth day after muscle failure and recovery. Muscle failure is variable. Extra rest is counter productive, as the muscle will begin to lose strength after peak. The every fifth day cycle for starting pitchers is based on results, not convention.

Not to be the contrarian, but I like Vierling at third. I think he has more in the tank.

They have one of the most effective, potent and explosive offenses in the NFL, so there isn't too much to complain about.

It's better, there are real issues with MLB that neither side seems willing to adequately address.

I'm sure they did. Most teams wouldn't want to push the cash flow hit into the future.

I believe any deferred payments are added to the luxury tax calculation for the period of the contract, but adjusted to present value, it is not postponed to the period beyond the contract.

Except you’re singling out Holmes, all teams do this. Do you pay any attention to the rate of attrition in college football and the NFL? If you didn't take a chance on previously injured players, you'd be drawing from a very small pool.

This is illogical. Football is a violent sport. The majority of players have some type of injury history, or soon will. Every team takes chances on them. People on here were upset the Lions didn't trade for Chase Young, what is he but a walking history of injuries?
