Spoiler. The Pats will be fine without Chung.

He probably wont even get a suspension this year until his case plays out.

i mean, it's cocaine possession, i'm not expecting a longass trial here and he'll almost certainly plead out. but yeah he'll probably get a suspension at some point.

Chris Herndon got 4 games for DUI. Chung will probably get 1.

DUI should be punished more than cocaine possession, but i would expect 2-4

Mike Tanier gives a pretty good summary of the Josh Allen Mystery

WE ALL KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

Very reasonable article. Allen is obviously getting better, though expecting the same type of second year leap that you'd expect from Baker or Darnold is premature (and no one should have expected him to develop that quickly anyways). But he seems like he's on track to be good by year 3 or 4, which is fine; all that matters is he appears to be trending the right way.

The Beasley/John Brown signings will be great for him. A receiver like Beasley is perfect for Allen, especially because he'll help him to develop the mental awareness to hit those shorter/intermediate routes when the situation calls for it (which I think is different/maybe more important than the traditional "he'll be a safety blanket" point). Brown was totally out of place in Baltimore once Lamar took over, and will be a nice deep ball target.

Bills had a really good free agency.

Hard to believe Chung doesn't have a guy to cop to the charge since it was just found loose in his house not on his person.

What’s the price for taking on a felony charge if you were just one of his bros? $50k?

I wouldn’t but I’d imagine someone would.

Rosen is composed, playing like a veteran, and his work when his line collapses has been superb.

Easy to forget that he was pretty widely viewed as the most pro-ready QB prospect last year. You guys made a great move trading a late 2nd for him. Hopefully they actually give him the opportunity.

Seems like he’s had a sack every preseason game so far and they drat sure need as much help with pass rush as they can get.

Whether or not guy pans out they definitely made the right move to take a shot with him. Even if the fins don’t have a good record, as long as he shows we’ll they’ll have a ton of options next offseason

Tannehill absolutely steps right into a sack there, instead of past the rusher.

He’s definitely only a situational pass rusher but JAGs are probably better than most of the guys rushing the passer for the Phins this year. Excluding Jerome Baker.

Not to be a hater but Tannehill probably jukes the 4th string rusher gunning for the practice squad trophy

It was more a criticism of Tannys pocket presence than a compliment of Rosen’s ability.

Flores spoke about the Kenny Stills/Jay-Z stuff:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/spor...lls/2093600001/

It was a challenge to him to get over the distractions and improve his play, but Flores spent a lot of time explaining his support for what Stills, Kaepernick, etc. are doing. He got asked directly about why he doesn't kneel as well, and kinda waffled on it but I guess as a coach it would be inviting insane drama contrary to his job.

quote:

"It was a challenge to Kenny to perform regardless of whatever is going on outside," Flores told reporters. "I would say, and I said this to him, he hasn't performed up to that level over the course of training camp, or as I've seen. So that was the challenge -- to get open, catch the football and make plays for this team, regardless of what's going on outside of this building."

If by best season you mean zero wins and Tua, yes, I agree. Thee Dolphins o line is, by itself, bad enough to garuntee that, and the moment you scratch the surface the utter lack of depth appears

He did the whole Fitzmagic experience in one game last night. Entire first half looked like an old man, second half drive looked magic. Of course, first team offense versus second team D, so you know.
