Call me crazy, but I’m starting to buy into our Top 3. Maybe that all comes crashing down in a couple weeks against Baltimore, but I’m buying into the hope that Coleman is going to be a weapon and that Palmer has another gear with a change of scenery. I also think Kincaid either breaks out this year or is a dud. I don’t really see any in-between.

Best case scenario early in the year is Sanders and Walker at least make an impact on 3rd downs. That alone would represent a huge improvement from last year. On the whole our defense last year was about average if you mix a few different metrics together. The one factor that really dragged the performance down was 3rd down conversion where we ranked 30th at 44.5%... And I'm sure we all remember the numerous 3rd downs where the QB was sitting back comfortable with plenty of time to find an open man. Sanders and Walker both have looked good when they've been able to pin their ears back and penetrate and get after the QB. So neither of them are going to blow up the stat sheet this year but I could see them having a sneaky big impact in that one critical area. Landon Jackson doesn't look like he'll contribute much if anything this year. He looks to be on the DeWayne Carter track of not dressing on gamedays and then you just hope he develops next offseason. Hairston's impact will entirely depend on how White performs. His problem will be that the staff trusts White and it's not like Hairston was seizing the job during training camp, so it would probably take some combination of White looking like a liability and Hairston quickly progressing in practice for him to get on the field in the back half of the season.

Report: Micah Parsons requests a trade
BillsShredder83 replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
My brother in Christ..... what? No GM is letting the Diggs BS in the last year overshadow what that trade did for this franchise and Josh. If 13 seconds doesnt happen I think we'd have got our first ring... thats not even counting the 2 other very productive years out of Stef. -
Samuel and Cook.

Let’s say, best case scenario.. Bishop pulls a Bernard and becomes a plus level Safety. Does anyone trust Rapp/Bishop to stay healthy all season? Due to Rapp’s play style and Bishop’s injury history since entering the league, we must have one of the most brittle Safety duos in the league. Which is why Hamlin catches so much heat, fairly or unfairly. Hes been a pseudo-starter in this Defense. I can see them not bringing in a Simmons because they believe in Bishop, but whether it’s Hancock and/or one of these depth/rotation trades we’ve seen yesterday, I think we need to think strongly about upgrading Safety depth when our depth there is constantly tested.

hmmm...so is trump suggesting giving Ukraine more offensive weapons or just saber rattling. Doesn't sound like he see's peace coming anytime soon. putin played him. https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/21/politics/trump-ukraine-russia-peace-stall “It is very hard, if not impossible, to win a war without attacking an invaders country. It’s like a great team in sports that has a fantastic defense, but is not allowed to play offense. There is no chance of winning! It is like that with Ukraine and Russia,” Trump said in a Truth Social post. He continued, “Crooked and grossly incompetent Joe Biden would not let Ukraine FIGHT BACK, only DEFEND. How did that work out? Regardless, this is a war that would have NEVER happened if I were President - ZERO CHANCE. Interesting times ahead!!!”

How Trump’s tariffs bamboozled the EU. REMEMBER the European Union’s triumphalism about avoiding the worst of Donald Trump’s threatened tariffs? Well, the EU came off worse, and still has not reached a settlement, even while it claims a resolution. On July 27, the EU agreed a US tariff rate of 15 per cent on a range of goods. Just think about that for a minute. Imagine yourself in 2024, considering the possibility that the EU – the self-described agent of European economic growth – would accept a whopping tariff on its exports to America, its largest national market. In 2024, the average tariff on EU exports was around 2.4 per cent! The 15 per cent tariff applies to many goods that the EU considers competitive with American goods, including automobiles, auto parts, pharmaceuticals and semi-conductors. These sectors had been scheduled with American tariffs from 25 per cent (automobiles and parts) to 30 per cent (pharmaceuticals). Did the EU accept 15 per cent in those sectors as a bitter pill so that it would be better off overall? No. The average tariff on US imports from the EU will surge to 17.5 per cent in 2026. Some of the EU’s strongest sectors face even steeper tariffs. For steel, aluminium and copper, US tariffs remain at 50 per cent. US tariffs will reduce the EU’s annual gross domestic product by 0.2 per cent, and industrial output by 0.3 per cent. And the impact will be worse for some members. The European Commission (which, after all, is not accountable to member states or citizens) often makes deals that it can spin as a resolution to a crisis without admitting the downsides for member states. https://www.conservativewoman.co.uk/how-trumps-tariffs-bamboozled-the-eu/ .

President Trump Cracking down on Crime in our Nation's Capital
B-Man replied to B-Man's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
DC just had a murder-free week, and yes, Dems, Trump did that. As the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the Trump administration’s takeover of the Washington DC police force begins to fade, the results are coming in, and they are nothing short of extraordinary. As of Wednesday afternoon, the nation’s capital has had no murders for seven days, something that had not been achieved since March and something I can find no recent record of in summer months when the murder rate is typically at its highest. Last Monday, when a man was tragically gunned down in Logan Circle just hours after the Trump takeover, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., took to social media to say that “Trump owns this. No word if the congressman agrees Trump also owns the lives saved this past week. And it’s not just murder, according to the local police union. Robbery dropped 46% in the week after the takeover, carjackings were down a whopping 83%, and violent crime down 22%. Who could possibly argue against that? https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/david-marcus-dc-just-had-murder-free-week-yes-dems-trump-did . -

CIVIL RIGHTS UPDATE: Federal District Court Rules NY’s Non-Resident Carry Ban Violates the Second Amendment. This ruling will, of course, be appealed. The game, after all, is to delay, delay, delay. Still, this is a very positive ruling and another brick knocked out of the gun control wall.” https://www.shootingnewsweekly.com/gun-control/federal-district-court-rules-nys-non-resident-carry-ban-violates-the-second-amendment/ . -

If our pass rush sucks this year, something drastic needs to be done. In reality, we’ve had a decent pass rush most years in terms of pressure rate, but like everyone else on that side of the ball they fold and/or get hurt in the playoffs. Bosa - Jones - Oliver - Rousseau On paper, that’s a Top 10 DL Add in Hoecht and Epenesa as our DE3 and DE4, and I’d contend from what Hoecht has shown, that’s pretty strong as well. Issue then becomes, do the rookies Jackson, Sanders and Walker give us anything? And does Carter have any second year juice whatsoever. Ogunjobi seems like vet insurance for Week 7 if the answer above is no. When healthy, off-suspension, I think we have 4 plus guys in Bosa, Rousseau, Oliver and Hoecht. Then a lot of unknown with Jones at his age and a bunch of rookies/second year players. Given the investment, this Defense better have the pass rush juice of former years that you spoke of.
