Which is kinda what you want at that pick for Javon - a cheap player who can play special teams and provide some depth. Bishop's finally starting to come around after a lost 2024 season. Carters been injured (I don't give them a mulligan, but you can't really control that kind of thing), and Davis hasn't really had a path to playing time (he'd have had to really earn it and i haven't seen it). Other late RBs that have performed above draft position are Irving and Tracy, but they also didn't have someone like cook ahead of them either. Comparable usage to a Guerendo, Estime, or Davis (NYJ) from the same draft. Not a "sexy" pick, and not providing a ton of value, but its hard to look through everyone picked after davis and argue they missed. He's a cheap backup running back, which is what you need if you plan to pay a running back. I don't think the book is written on coleman yet even this season, lot of football left to play.

Bring back Peerless Price or Avion Black.

Imagine being young and new on the job making a mistake, and the fat, sloppy veteran who just made multiple mistakes calls you out to everyone on TV regardless of whether Dawkins comments were warranted or appropriate, they are ineffective and not helpful

Why? Is the Eli manning thing dumb? Have you seen his career record? Is he sniffing the hall of fame without the two super bowls or his last name for that matter? Of course not. Does he win those two super bowls without those admittedly awesome throws? No. No other qb I can think of made it to the hall on two throws. as for the obj comment. Yes I will admit he was great. But my point (which I made poorly) was his notoriety was based on that Monday night (or was it Sunday night?) catch

I know nothing and have no inside information or insight. I suspect that two things are at play: 1) Dunning-Kruger. It's not uncommon for a guy to be a team's first draft pick, sign a contract with lots of money, and think they've arrived. They overestimate their skills. They don't have to do something that makes them uncomfortable like travel to Cali and run routes/catch balls for Josh or go join Shakir working with Eric Mould in the off season. He can keep doing what he has been doing that made him a success (a high draft pick) like working with the guy he worked with pre-draft. It was pretty clear during training camp that Coleman had a problem. He was failing to catch balls that were 100% on target. That's usually a focus problem, an eye discipline problem. It took Knox a couple of years to acknowledge he needed to work on it and get to it. And Coleman's release moves had improved, but not as much as they needed to. Maybe doing the same thing and hoping for different results isn't The Way. Be that as it may, Coleman's game against the Ravens seemed to validate his off season work. 8 of 11 for 112 yds, 73% catch %. Whoo hoo. Only it wasn't sustainable. He hasn't broken 50 ypg since, and he's had 3 games with 50% or below catch % It wouldn't be unheard of for a young guy who came into the season thinking he's arrived, and he's done enough, and his opening game validated that, to take a slide down into the Valley of Despair. Especially when he has lots of money and can show up in a bar or club and drown his sorrows. Then what? Pro athletes have a paradoxical mindset. On the one hand, most of them have had to tune out a lot of opinions to get to where they are. Take Josh Allen - all the Division I programs that didn't scout him and wouldn't take a chance. All the draft pundits who said "If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself". Where would he be today if he listened to any of that, including, no doubt, some coaches along the way? So we're asking a young guy who had to have tuned out a lot of noise to get to where he is, to be humble and let some coaches into his head and tell him what he needs to do (that was a problem for Josh initially, by the way). By the way, I haven't read anyone pining for Diggs, but just in case: Diggs "went off" for 10 receptions and 146 yds against us. He had 100+ yd game against Carolina the previous week and just recently against the hapless Jests. The rest of the season? 14, 23, 28, 32, 38, 46, 57, 69 yds. I'm sure part of it is the coverage he faces. But part of it may be the "want to" level in the player's mind.

I mean it’s not shaping up to be a really good class for sure. I wasn’t a huge fan of Coleman but I understand why they took him. Wanted McConkey I was a huge Cole Bishop guy I also was higher on Carter than most of the board and so far I’m wrong I was a huge Davis fan as well. Still think he can be a solid NFL back with volume but he won’t get that in Buffalo SVPG I thought was a good value pick and his selection to me is incomplete. Regardless a backup C/G with a 5th rounder who can become a starter is not a negative pick imo Ulofoshio was a waste Solomon is a good pick for a 5th rounder. Key ST and role player, has impacted the QB at times when he got the opportunity Grable still has promise and wouldn’t surprise me if he’s in the Alex Anderson 6 OL role next year as the first guy to go in at Guard/Tackle Hardy they took as a PR guy only and Clayton was clearly a long term project guy. I think the Bills board was wiped out by the Hardy pick and they just shot a couple darts It’s shaping up in its entirety to be a pretty bad draft overall. Fell off a cliff after the top 50 or so players and then sporadic good /role players throughout the rest

Pivoted from double date to intense competition pretty quickly huh?

3 weeks ago he was another Beane bust. Hahaha

i bought my kids on of those plastic ones for the basement, so i've had a bit of practice...both hatchets and throwing stars. just letting you know incase you wanted to put money down.

This is yards AFTER CONTACT. So even if we are making the fits, we arent getting it done. Babich needs to go, and McD needs to follow him. This is horrendous and costing us Championship opportunities as we waste Josh's career.

One of the dumbest comments I've ever seen. And there are a lot of dumb things said on this site. I strongly dislike OBJ BUT even when he was with the Rams, he was electric and def provided a spark, would've been the MVP of that SB probably. Saying he was good off of one play is just asinine.

Love talking about the D

If Cole is a hit as a starter that's gonna help this draft class a lot. I think you need to get 2 starters and 2 role players out of each draft as a minimum. Cole would be the first starter found but Keon if he's a bust (and he's trending that way) the team is going to have to find a starter out of SVPG or Grable which if let's say either guy comes in and starts along G/C and is a positive that's also a way to salvage the draft class. On the role player side of things Ray Davis has come in and been a positive role player. Solomon has come in and played but he's been fairly marginal. TLDR: The draft class is going to be rough unless they can salvage Keon as a starter or one of the later picks.

Even been hatchet throwing?

I know this is probably unfair to them, but if they can figure out a way to beat Houston and Kansas, this could be the actual return to Syracuse basketball. I just feel like a ton is riding on these next games for the entire future of the program and Autry.

Sure to misquote Oprah, You cut your GM, you cut your GM, everyone cut your GMs!!!

i'm thinking double date here.

Good for u? I'm seeing a 35 year old lady so there's that. I'm even gooder with the younger crowd.

Should the Chiefs cut Veach? Is that the easy answer too?

He's a coach & QB killer, no thanks

The Bills have to play turnover-free football in this game. If they do, I think they'll win. And they have to establish the run.

i enjoy the back and forth. i'm in wonderful shape, but i appreciate the concern. did you know that my wife is your age? i'm good with the younger crowd.

Actually, yes, he is perfect on Thursday night games. 8-0. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2025/5/15/24430503/the-buffalo-bills-are-a-perfect-7-0-on-tnf-with-josh-allen
