Suspended.

The NFL has issued a pair of suspensions for violations of the league’s personal conduct policy. Buffalo Bills edge rusher Von Miller received a four-game suspension, while Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Mike Hall Jr. was suspended five games.

Miller was arrested in late November 2023 for an alleged domestic violence incident, for which no charges were filed. Miller was made available to play in the now, with the suspension and possible removal from the roster in the 2025 offseason for cap reasons, his rocky tenure with the Bills is likely to make the 2022 signing viewed as a failed experiment despite the team’s championship aspirations.

The Miller suspension is another layer to Miller’s complicated story with the Bills. The team made major headlines in March of 2022 when they went all-in in their quest to win a Super Bowl to sign Miller, in his age-33 season, to one of the richest deals in franchise history. The contract that included $51 million guaranteed and effectively locked him in on the Bills roster for three seasons looked good at the start. Miller was one of the Bills’ best players, giving them an edge they had been missing for years. But a late-season torn ACL ended his 2022 season, and upon his return in 2023, he wasn’t the same player on the field, collecting zero sacks.

Even though Miller is a big name and one of their highest-paid players on the team, from an on-field perspective, the Bills aren’t going to be losing one of their key pieces of the starting lineup. At 35 years old, that’s just not who Miller is any longer and the team views him as more of a rotational pass rusher. Over the first four games, Miller averaged only 23.3 snaps per game, on the field for only 35 percent of the team’s defensive plays. Against the Ravens, Miller had only nine snaps total. Miller had three sacks through his first three games, two of which came against a team’s backup right tackle and the other being late in the game in a blowout of the Dolphins. Even still, he had shown more pass rushing ability than he had through the entire 2023 season while in his first year back from a torn ACL. They will miss some of that late-game pass rush ability, though they have a rookie in Javon Solomon who can capably fill in for that role until Miller returns Week 9 against the Miami Dolphins.

Howdy,

Looking for two LSU tickets. Not super picky, but hoping somewhere that’s not nosebleeds. Much appreciated

Prove me wrong, “King” Tuck.

Asking Blumpkinatordong? Just wondering what has happened. Astros aren’t where they need to be, but heading in the right direction.

Says Weigman remains a gametime decision. He was out this weekend because they realized he couldn't throw. That does not sound very comforting.
Says the 275 yards passing were too high, but there were steps forward in the secondary. There was obviously the pick, but there were a bunch of passes contested or broken up. Says it was a definite improvement.
Notes that there were a lot of busts in 2018 as the defense adjusted to the scheme, and then they reduced significantly in 2019.
Says one-on-one coverage was "a lot stickier."
Says Drinkwitz is a really, really good offensive coach and has the touch for when to call for a trick play.
Mocks PFF for giving Jaydon Hill a high score on pass rush, "they gave him a high score when he rushed twice and nobody blocked him."
Says BJ Mayes jumped all over the opportunity to play nickel, which he'd never done before, but put in an incredible amount of extra work to get himself ready to play the position. Now they're getting him out on the field a whole lot more.
When asked about Marcel Reed, Elko said "There are still some ups and downs as we move forward. We have a ton of confidence in him."
Says the receivers still aren't getting the right spacing on their routes and the timing keeps getting thrown off.
He's pleased with their work inside the 20. "We were good in the red zone. We came up 2-for-2 in scoring touchdowns. That was good. We still need to be more explosive in the passing game."
Said the coaches were "really happy with the way our defensive line played. I thought they controlled the run game as well as the pocket ... In the secondary, I thought we took a step (forward)."
Players of the game: Nic Scourton and Trey Zuhn. Players of the week: Le'Veon Moss, Dezz Ricks and Tyler White. No, I don't know the difference.
On Noah Thomas: "We have a lot of trust in Noah. Since the first game, he's a guy you try to find ways to get the football to him. ... In the last few games, we've been able to hit them more."

so went back and looked at the Arkansas game. The 2nd down play calling showed the following:

total 2nd down plays - 19
Pass - 5
Run - 14


Now where i looked didn't break down where the ball was run to, but we really need to figure this out. The majority of the runs also came on 2nd and long (8+ yards needed).

I heard on the radio today that they are giving Mike Elko's left over defensive players a lot of credit for this record.

They went on to say that Duke really hasn't played anyone yet, but it's Elko's recruiting especially on the defensive side of the ball that has them undefeated and very excited about being a bowl team in 2024.

Elko's new team (you may have heard of them) is currently 4-1 and his old team is 5-0... that's not an accident.

Playing games with the Astros. He has house money so he is pitching by committee

The O-Line was freaking horrible for 3 quarters but came up big in the 4th Qtr.

I'm not sure I've seen so many running plays go for negative yards and they were terrible protecting the QB. When Reed is playing we are going to have to move the pocket to create some time to throw plus he's comfortable throwing on the run.

The defense was good other than outside containment on runs, way too many times they hit the edge without anybody laying a hand on the runner for 10 yards.

Put these teams in order from best to worst.

This will be another nail biter, IMO. It will be a crazy 4th quarter.

Is in the lineup batting second.

Rumor is cars will run on steam 😎

Lots to unpack, worthy of a rewatch over and over.

Wow.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — If the Pac 12 can be patient for just a little while longer, there might soon be several teams available to join their league that don't require flying from Washington to Memphis numerous times per year.

News came down recently that the SEC and Big Ten are looking to solidify a partnership deal in football that will regularly feature games between the two conferences and also position themselves with more power to insist on more automatic bids for their leagues. It's just one more baby step toward that SEC-Big Ten only league that seems pretty much inevitable, especially once the mandatory payment to all athletes starts kicking in.


This should make the Big 12 and the ACC very nervous because the eventual move to a two or three-division SEC and Big Ten featuring 24 teams each feels almost like a requirement at this point. The 12-team could feature a playoff bye for each division champion, automatic qualifiers for each runner-up, and a spot for the remaining two highest ranked teams from each conference regardless of division.

Sounds like a license to print money, which is exactly why it will probably eventually happen. That means the Big Ten needs to scoop up six more schools, while the SEC will need eight.

The simplest way to do that is to take the three ACC schools that bring financial value and make the most sense geographically go the Big Ten, while the same theory is applied to tapping the Big 12. For instance, perhaps they grab North Carolina, Virginia and Pitt, then add Kansas, Iowa State and Utah.

Meanwhile, the SEC snatches up Miami and Virginia Tech while flipping a coin between Clemson, Florida State and Louisville for the final two spots as none of those schools open up new markets. From the Big 12, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and West Virginia get the nod with the last spot going to TCU.

SEC schools like coming to the Dallas area, no one wants to travel to Lubbock, Colorado will be useless after Deion Sanders quits following this season once his son and Travis Hunter go into the NFL Draft, and the other schools are just too far west to be SEC material. Should the decision be to go with 12-team divisions, that puts Arkansas with Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Missouri, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, TCU and Vanderbilt.

Should they go to three eight-team divisions, the Hogs find themselves with the same teams minus the Mississippi schools, LSU and Vandy. There would be hope for a swap of Missouri to keep LSU, but there are too many Big 8/12 ties to speak that into existence while keeping LSU from sticking with its traditional SEC rivals from back in the soft helmet days.

Meanwhile, the schools not in the SEC or Big Ten can rally together under the NCAA banner and officially resurrect conferences like the Pac 12, Southwest Conference and the Big East. There SMU, Rice, Texas Tech, Baylor, Texas State, UTSA, Tulsa and Tulane battle it out for the right to face Colorado State, Boise State, or which ever one of the many schools with the word State in its name wins the Pac 12 in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 exclusively on Tubi.

The NCAA's Group of Six will put up a lot of fun games that people will still find time to watch much like in the heyday of the MAC when points were aplenty. That would tide them over between playoff games of the Big Ten-SEC-Dr Pepper-Tostitos-Capital One College Football Super Conference brought to you by Regions Bank.
