I just feel like everyone is going to spend all week talking about Mahomes' ankle or Burrow being a Demigod or Chase against this young secondary or Lou Anarumo being a psychopath...and then in the end it's just going to Samaje Perine bludgeoning Bolton and Gay to death.
He sounds like a bitch who doesn’t want to work hard to earn not only his check, but to help his team get a championship. Last year had nothing to do with him. He’s a nobody. [Reply]

Orlando simultaneously lionizes old school players like Ray Lewis and Ed Reed and talks about his love of the history of pro football and then turns around and complains about practicing hard.
Hypocritical hippo. :-) Two-a-days would have made him retire. [Reply]

Asked for more detail on this “old school” world and Brown points to the Chiefs’ strenuous practices — they go hard every day — and the fact that it’s not very “rah-rah.”
“Every game is the Super Bowl,” he says. “It’s different, but that’s what makes it special.”
Upon signing, he realized the Bengals, unlike the Chiefs, were adamant on taking care of players’ bodies.
The Chiefs have been pretty damn good at avoiding key injuries to key players for just about the entirety of Reid's tenure, save for 2014 as well as the unfortunate AFCC before the Tampa SB. That's just about 10 years of prime injury luck. Meanwhile, the Ravens, Chargers, Steelers, 49ers, and all these other great talented forward-thinking "modern" NFL franchises are constantly coming up short because their planned offseason starters just aren't there to play the important games for them.
It's pretty clear at this point. One year is luck. Two years is an anomaly. Ten years? That's a trend. The Chiefs and their "old school" approach makes them an overall healthier team than most other franchises throughout the season and going into the playoffs. The data doesn't lie. [Reply]

Buffalo as well. Constant injuries on defense in particular. [Reply]

No way. My wife keeps bringing it up and i keep shooting it down. I'm not about to go through the trouble of reinforcing my deck and having to take care of the hot tub year round. [Reply]
