I think it's just a Herbstreit problem. The guy is fine for College and obviously knows a ton about the schools, players, coaches, etc. Not so much with the NFL and you can definitely hear it in his color commentary. Half the time he's referring to players by their number.

I heard a podcast from a Denver beat writer saying basically that Wilson has full control of the team and staff. I wonder if he will ever start taking over playcalling for himself like Manning and such. Would make sense since they gave up so much and signed him to a massive deal. And considering that Seattle basically did the opposite of what he wanted which is why he wanted out.

I think Seattle pretty much did what he wanted too. They would talk about changing things up and running the ball more during the off season but then when the time came they gave in and let him do what he wanted to. Russ has never learned to deliver the ball from the pocket in rhythm to the middle of the field. He's so good at improvising and throwing deep once coverage breaks down that he's always been able to get away with it but teams have learned that he's not going to throw in the middle of the field and he can't scramble as well as he used to be able to so he's getting exposed. If he wants to keep playing into his 40's he's going to have to learn to play from the pocket primarily which he's never had to do before. Aaron Rodgers is sort of experiencing the same thing but he was always better from the pocket than Wilson.

I’ll never understand why Watkins keeps getting paid. He plays one game a year. Some how made it through 2 this year.

So the entire starting secondary for Buffalo is out tomorrow. Both safeties and Both CB's. Missing 2 other players on defense also. The front seven is still stacked though, and if they make Tua have to run for his life they should be alright.
On the other side, if Miami is going to show they're for real, this is the best chance they'll get to beat Buffalo. It's at home and it's going to be hot vs. a thinned out defensive rotation. Keeping the score respectable should be the minimum.

Sources: Jimmy G surgery nixed Washington deal
The 49ers had the parameters of a trade agreement in place that would have sent Jimmy Garoppolo to the Commanders at this year's scouting combine, but the deal fell apart once the QB decided to have shoulder surgery, sources told ESPN.

Pretty clever to do the surgery when he did if he didn't want to go to Washington and got word of it.

I still contend that Jimmy had ZERO interest in being traded anywhere this year. He either wanted to be cut or ride out the final year in a 9ers uniform. And the 9er fans are still eating their words.Sources: Jimmy G surgery nixed Washington deal

They're all secretly stoked they don't have to waste a year sucking for Lance.

Not even a little bit. Part of me honestly hopes they don't do well this year. Because if they go on a run, and make some noise in the playoffs, all it is going to do is cause more drama in the offseason. "Oh no, do they keep Jimmy now? What happens with Lance?" blah blah blah. I had mentally moved on from Jimmy G and was eager to see what Lance could do.
I would have preferred we suffer through a year of ups and downs from Lance, let him start to get some experience, and see what potential he may or may not have. I was fully prepared for him to have a rough year, but hopefully start to learn and grow.
