No I haven't met him. Do you dislike any athlete? Have you met them ? Have you not heard the reports that gms said it was the worst interview that they ever had? And the video of himself going into the stadium like he's LeBron James last night? If you like that arrogant, self centred cockiness, you do you. And seriously, no judgement. But not me. You also said "no one really knows" if he's a jerk or not. But I can tell you He didn't drop to the 5th round because of talent. The guy clearly has massive character flaws https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/article/shedeur-sanders-ripped-by-anonymous-coach-before-nfl-draft-the-worst-formal-interview-ive-ever-been-in-in-my-life-162127507.html -
There we were a few clean pass rush wins, the passes on those plays unfortunately just got off too quickly for the wins to matter. Here's 3 quick individual wins from Sanders and Walker: Bosa had a couple early on as well. My concern has been and continues to be coverage. Pass rush wins don't matter if the QB finds an open man within 2 seconds.

At least one of the kids was in a harness I noticed. That's what made me pay more attention to see if he had one on in any of the scenes. All it takes is some loose gravel, or a tie rod breaking, to have the car go out of control and him start bouncing around inside of it.

Good Night / Bad Night - Pre-season game 1
MikePJ76 replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I literally said I know what bosa is. We all do. and I also said hopefully walker, sanders, Hancock and strong continue to improve so they can help. I liked seeing Hancock today. He looked like he belonged and seemed in position over and over. Walker is going to have a big role in pass rush situations. They are going to scheme his abilities into some big plays. Sanders looks like he belonged every snap. preseason is about man to to man or one on one football, going out there and beating the guy in front of you without a plan other than being a better athlete. My hope for the day was that a number of these guys would look like they belong. IMO some did and some didn’t. I think ogunjobi, hoecht and Forrest were bad signings and they looked pretty pedestrian on the field today. When the real games start and they are given a role or if they are I am sure they will scheme them into what they do best. Today, I didn’t see any of those guys do anything that showed they have the ability to make plays that will help the team and demand they get snaps. The rookies I mentioned imo did, they look like guys who will help. and as far as bosa goes I believe he is a declining player with major injury concerns who commits a lot of penalties. I don’t expect much from him. I don’t like the free agent class on defense and have not from day one. I hope I am wrong because if I am not this team is going to end up around 11-6 and the 3 or 4 seed meaning they have to go to KC and Baltimore each just to get to the Super Bowl. -
Just seems like McDermott prefers his pass rushers to be conservative and always stay in their lane. Sometimes you gotta turn guys loose especially on 3rd down. Phillips was one of the few guys McDermott gave a longer leash to just get after the QB.

Surprises from Giants Pre-Season Game on 8/9/25
Mike in Horseheads replied to DeepPass's topic in The Stadium Wall
Attendance was pry all the season tickets sold -
I really like McD. He reminds me of Tom Landry. It took Landry 12 years with the cowboys before he won the Super Bowl. He had a painful steak of losing big games in the playoffs before he finally won it all.

Surprises from Giants Pre-Season Game on 8/9/25
stevestojan replied to DeepPass's topic in The Stadium Wall
I didn’t catch any of the game today. Is this first teams we’re talking because I thought the giants had one of the worst O-lines in the league. This would be concerning even if for only a drive or two. -
No mention of Bosa, Sanders and Walker. Not surprised. Care to elaborate on what you saw from them?
-
Well the problem of getting off the field on 3rd down would clear up with some pressure. Look, I know it's preseason. I don't expect stunts, overloads, or DBs blitzing off the edge. But the Giants dropped back 51 (!) times, you would think that just once one of our guys could beat his man clean.

Good Night / Bad Night - Pre-season game 1

You're right that there's no evidence that Codrington will ever have more production as a cornerback than Shenault as a receiver but Shenault was never a punt returner in the NFL or in college whereas Codrington was among the NFL leaders last year. So Shenault has to prove he can handle those responsibilities in order to win that competition. -
Surprises from Giants Pre-Season Game on 8/9/25

Keonta Jenkins is a 211 lb linebacker. I know the Bills tend to go for lighter, faster linebackers, but 211 lbs is a bit extreme even for them. Both of the Bills' starting linebackers, Milano and Bernard, have had some injury issues as lighter linebackers. If Jenkins makes the team (unlikely) or the PS, will the Bills try to get him to add some muscle? The alternative might be to see if he can convert to something of a hybrid DB/LB. -
I'm 75, and I've been a Bills fan since 1963, so my time to see the Bills win a Lombardi is much more limited than most fans. I agree with everything you wrote, and if the Bills never win a Lombardi in my lifetime, it won't change the fact that McDermott's tenure as HC has been the best era of Bills football ever. Nothing is guaranteed in life, no matter how much someone wants something. Instead of being in perpetual angst about the Bills' lack of SB wins, some Bills fans need to apply the idea that "life is a journey, not a destination" to their fandom and enjoy the ride. It's the best one Bills have ever had so far. The last time I looked, Ben Johnson has won as many NFL games as a HC as you and I and the rest of the TSW members.

I dont think mcdermott is a bad coach. But i also dont think he is that great. how many of those wins are josh masking poor drafts and bad coaching? he has shown the ability to get out coached by the same dude over and over again. and for a guy who is always preaching about fundamentals and discipline. His defense lacks those things. Or they are sticking to scheme soo well that other teams clown them. hearing players after the last of the chiefs losses in the playoffs say they never saw the chiefs doing the things they did on tape before. But was shown on everynetwork of them doing those exact things all year says they arent prepared or coached well. like i said i dont think mcdermott sucks. But he isnt that good either. josh is saving a bunch of people jobs

Comebackkid started following Cam Little Nails 70-Yard Field Goal and Who is the number two QB ?

I think mitches arm is powered by a 1978 ford pinto motor

Have you seen how large he is? He’s not going anywhere. I’m more concerned about the car

I think Shavers is out 54th player...and we're going to IR designated to return someone. -
Watched it last night and was more concerned not having the kids harnessed. He can make his choices. His children cannot.

I'm not jumping to a conclusion based off a preseason game though, I'm seeing it as a continuation of the past few years. They don't get a lot of sacks, they struggle against the run, 3rd & 15 may as well be an automatic 1st down, they give up big plays, are often injured, and competent offenses seem to chew them up. A few years ago we had a top 3 scoring D in the regular season multiple times, but then they fell apart in the playoffs, even with much better talent than we have now. So sure, they may manage to be a top 10 unit in the league during the regular season, and even their sack/turnover numbers might look decent. Just saying I'm not expecting too much. We've seen what McDermott wants to do for years now. The best thing I can say about him is he's able to coach up late round players, and his scheme covers for a lot of individual flaws (or at least it did when Leslie Frazier was still here). But I don't think our D is going to ever have a playoff game where they hold down Mahomes all day like the 2023 Ravens AFCCG or the Eagles in the SB this year or even the 2nd half/OT of the 2021 AFCCG with the Bengals.

Just think, we won 13 games last year and didn’t have a healthy Milano or even Bosa. We will win 14 games this year

I've only read on here and listened to the game. Is it safe to say Oline is an arrow down. It's so hard because I'm sure these guys are being told to play smart and just don't get hurt. There's no planning in place and I'm not sure anyone really wants to play these game to begin with.
