Le Tigre Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 That isn’t their “alternate/Color Rush” jersey/pant. This is that: The helmet would sort of match their 1962 throwback helmet, but wouldn’t match the original uniform Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griever Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 Report: Leonard Fournette weighs almost 260 pounds, Bucs coaches aren’t happy Posted by Michael David Smith on July 18, 2022, 11:28 AM EDT Buccaneers running back Leonard Fournette has reportedly drawn the ire of the team’s coaching staff by letting himself get out of shape this offseason. Longtime Buccaneers beat writer Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times said on his podcast that Fournette, who is listed at 228 pounds, actually weighs about 30 pounds more than that. “The last time we saw Leonard Fournette he was about a donut shy of 260,” Stroud said. “He certainly didn’t look like a guy who could play every down.” Fournette decided not to participate in voluntary Organized Team Activities, and when he showed up at mandatory minicamp, the coaches felt he has a long way to go to get into playing shape. “Coaches were not happy, and that’s an understatement, when he didn’t participate in the OTAs, but then he shows up at the mandatory minicamp weighing damn near 260,” Stroud said. “And that’s not a good sign for a guy that you just spent a three-year contract on.” The Buccaneers spent a third-round draft pick on running back Rachaad White, and they have running backs Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Giovani Bernard and Kenjon Barner on the depth chart as well. All of those backups may need to get themselves ready for the possibility that Fournette is going to need more breathers than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

membengal Posted July 19 Report Share Posted July 19 In all seriousness - $9 million signing bonus and another $3 million on top of that guaranteed. 12 total. Really, if he is 260 he is fucking the Bucs over having just signed that contract and taken that signing bonus money and then letting himself go... https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/tampa-bay-buccaneers/leonard-fournette-21745/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 On the issue of throwbacks, I think most retro uniforms are far superior to the current ones and many teams will be pressured by their fans to revert back with this new alternate helmet rule. It is a travesty against eye sight and common sense that the D Broncos, 70s Dolphins, Kelly Green Eagles, Pat Patriots, and Creamcicle Bucs are not their current unis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

|BlackJesus| Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 ^ Colossal mistake by Arizona to pay Murray that kind of guaranteed money as I don't even think his heart is in football (prefers baseball). Plus his height is a huge liability and the league has figured his little scramble gimmick out (blitz him with a DB off the edge). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griever Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/deshaun-watson-rumors-browns-to-work-out-josh-rosen-a-j-mccarron-ahead-of-possible-suspension-per-report/ Deshaun Watson rumors: Browns to work out Josh Rosen, A.J. McCarron ahead of possible suspension, per report It appears the Browns are bracing themselves for impact By Patrik Walker Deshaun Watson is currently waiting to hear if he'll be forced to serve an NFL suspension of any sort in 2022, and so are the Cleveland Browns after trading with the Houston Texans to acquire him before immediately awarding him the largest contract -- also fully guaranteed -- in the history of the league. But having now parted ways with former first-overall pick Baker Mayfield, traded to the Carolina Panthers in July, they'll need to create a contingency plan in the event Watson is banned for any amount of time; and they have their eyes on two well-known quarterbacks as a possible contingency plan. Those two gentleman are Josh Rosen and A.J. McCarron, per ESPN, both of whom are reportedly set to workout for the Browns just ahead of veterans reporting to NFL training camp. If either (or both) are signed, it isn't expected to change the likelihood of incumbent backup Jacoby Brissett being elevated to the role of QB1 in the event of a Watson suspension. Rosen is a former 10th-overall pick of the Arizona Cardinals who was jettisoned by the club via trade only one year later, and he's struggled to find an NFL home ever since. Should he join the Browns, it will mark the sixth team of his professional career in only five seasons. McCarron, a former fifth-round pick Cincinnati Bengals has fared a might better in the professional ranks -- remaining with his initial team for four seasons -- but he's also become a journeyman and, similar to Rosen, he'd be entering his sixth team if he and the Browns come to terms on a deal. Other than Watson and Brissett, the only QB on the roster is Joshua Dobbs, a former fourth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Stealers who himself hasn't panned out and has a lot to prove, as the Browns try desperately to zoom in on a backup QB for Brissett in the event they lose Watson.

|BlackJesus| Posted July 21 Report Share Posted July 21 7 hours ago, gupps said: what some colorblind @sshole did to the old Oilers Oilers always had a top 7 uniform in the league, I agree. A confession: my favorite RB to watch highlights of is Earl Campbell in them. Love his play style. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't appreciate those Oilers uniforms like I should have at the time, because of my dislike of the team. But looking back, they were among the best in league history. The Titans screwed it up in 1999 and then made it worse with the recent changes. If they don't want to be the Oilers, then fine. I get the need for a complete rebrand and something that Nashville could call its own, but they really could've used the same uniform and switched the oil derrick for the sword "T" and been great. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. His suspension would start with the first week of the season and he's not allowed to practice with the team during his suspension. He can practice on his own or have the WRs come over on their own though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's no way they didn't receive assurances beforehand that Watson would be able to play. Over 2 dozen accusations of stuff that could easily end his career and they're giving him the largest guaranteed contract in NFL history. They knew he was getting a slap on the wrist.
