Similar build to Person and Bailey, speed rushers keep trending smaller.

And what did either of those players do?

Patriots broncos... Patriots should win....

Seahawks Rams...  close game.

NFL fans are more interested in the coaching changes than the actual games.

Garnering the one point last night, though at least a point, our boys most definitely needed that extra number
Super happy that the 3rd period provided a flurry of action, cuz the first 2 were such
yawners.  Both goalies played well and the OT was exciting.
Felt so hopeful till the shootout was the undoing for us

No player, in his right mind, will play to Tank.  They just won't slack off in hope that
the Draft will provide young talent to take jobs away from
Behind closed doors, the reality of not climbing in the standings no doubt has them pondering different scenarios

It sounds as though he's further ahead in his re-hab than I imagined. I'm glad that things are going well for him in that regard. Nothing changes in my thought that we're moving on without him this season.

You don't know his salary so how could you possibly say he'll earn it?

SMS is a complicated issue. It's not just whether a given player " earns " his contract. It's about whether it means we have to reduce offers to other players across the roster.

Retaining veterans is important but at some point that happens with every player. I think he has another year left in his game and we don't have that many long term Bomber players on defence. It's probable we won't see a few back that haven't yet been re-signed.

Now I have heard it all.  He will make about what we expect.  The exact number has no impact on my statement.

I believe he always has and will earn 100% of his paycheck this year. 

This is based on watching him his entire career and while considering age, stats and impact to the ball games, organization and community.  O and he brings a high level of entertainment value!!!

That all said my assumption is that he plays 3/4 of the season+

Come down to Wpg, Willie can still bring it baby

Our vets are the reason we have been so good for so long and made it to all those cups.  Yes they decline but some can evolve and still impact like Willie.  Time will tell how much impact he will have this year.  I believe he will earn his salary and help us win more game than he hurts us in.

[his last 5 games are much improved]

Good SOL. But now the Jets are 4th last in the league, so the tank is still sad.

I'm saying today.  His season numbers are not great, but his last 5 games are much improved.  And his F/O is incredible.

That's just cherry-picking, though. It doesn't bolster the claim he's one of the best 2Cs in the league. I completely agree his being 2nd in the league is FO% is incredible.

Vilardi being moved to the second line has provided a decent-ish boost, but the numbers still don't jump off the page. And that move just reinforces how questionably put together that line was in the first place, IMO.

Once a year, old vets get their game back for a short time and make everyone remember what they used to be. The rest of the time they get their paychecks based on who they used to be.

Jefferson used to take games over. He was one of my favs, but he's been going downhill for a couple of years now. Hanging on to guys like him are one of the reasons the team has been on the decline for a couple of years now.
