Agreed on the other names listed above, but would add Bill Fichtner. He’s a proud and loyal Bills fan.

Moore did one Return all Pre-Season and didn't do much of it during Training Camp. Coleman hasn't taken a single return since becoming a Bill. Khalil Shakir is dealing with a High Ankle Sprain and just got out of wearing a Boot. He may suit up for us Week 1, but I don't think they're going to push him to do Returns. With the new rules this year, Kick Return is going to be very important. While I understand the concept of wanting to fit certain positional players into the depth chart - I don't think this regime is the type to go "we'll figure it out, just throw someone back there". Brandon Codrington, Laviska Shenault, and KJ Hamler handled pretty much all of the Return game during Training Camp and the Pre-Season. I don't see a way that they cut all of them. Likely, Codrington sticks. Even last year when no one impressed them on Returns, they went out, traded for, and rostered Codrington specifically for the role. And the Return game was negligible last year compared to this one.

I have 2 issues with the above: 1) When Mitch was in Pittsburgh it was with Canada as OC and it was hilariously bad for QBs. None of the QBs played well and guys that had been there got worse. With the o-line and lack of creativity, Mitch looked just like all the other QBs in Pittsburgh. He will be fine for his role here. 2) The reason they don’t draft many QBs is because of roster builds. They do not want a QB that needs time to develop taking up a roster spot and they are correct. The Bills keep 2 QB on the roster and want a starter and a guy they can insert and hold on to a win if required. They also want an experienced QB that can talk with Josh and they can see what the defense is doing to make adjustments. People would lose their minds had the Bills wasted a 5th rd pick on a guy like Milton just to cut and try to put on the PS. If they are going with a young QB, they want an UDFA or 7th round guy that can go to the PS and develop and they have that in Shane. The return also hasn’t been worth it. Milton and another player were traded for a 5th rd pick that was barely 20 spots in front of where he was picked. NE lost value overall on the trade and although they have drafted several QBs since near the end of Brady - very few have even netted anything close to the draft capital and has been an over net negative.

Coleman or Shakir. Coleman did it in college and Shakir did it last year down the stretch. Ty Johnson will be the KR

Dude out here hitting like Sean Taylor, RIP sheeesh

Duck, thanks for forwarding, and my Dad just turned 95 yesterday. I still can’t believe he’s as mobile as he is, but admittedly, he’s slowing down. He’s one of the OG Bills fans.

Thanks TB, and used to be sizable, now just a middle aged guy who still works out 5 days a week. I’m sure Simon is a beast. BTW- Buffalo Barbarian was a Powerlifter as well. I haven’t heard from him in quite awhile.

Agent 47 is a wise , old soul I was partying, chasing women at 25 , can'timagine how crazy i would've gotten with his $ , I try to give back now at 35 but still party.. This dude is special

or the beautiful throw to Davis to take the lead with 13 seconds !!!!

What I was trying to say (and probably did a bad job) was how have we improved from the AFCC to now....Are we in a better place to win (we already compete) against the chiefs in the most important game; TC and Pre-Season did not provide any positive (except for the plays by the two defensive rookies and addition of Hoecht). Is this WR better than last year to compete with Mahomes and Jackson. Is this ragged DB good enough to defend against Mahomes and Jackson. Does this DL have the chops to stop the run and get off the field on 3rd downs. For me, the TC and PS did not provide that good feeling that we have indeed improved in these critical areas. Concern is - Did we get to see the improvement in the talent to win against the Chiefs and Ravens in the post season.

Or fly him in a helicopter from his home roof directly to Highmark stadium (special landing). He makes his speech and then gets back in the chopper back to his home. I am sure Pegula can arrange for that !

How the hell do the 49ers have a cap space of 47M in spite of paying a top QB and a top DE salary !!!

He is getting $30M guaranteed for this year even if he has an injury.

I guess it would be Moore for KR and Shakir or Ingram for Punt Returns

Do you say things like this so that you don’t have to pay attention, think, and seem intelligent? What makes you say this? Truly a dimwitted comment. Many, many on the right have spoken out against this. It’s all over the internet and social media. Do you want people to take to the streets over the matter?

I know lol I was joking

Did you unironically post Trump prioritizing Israel over America like it’s a good thing? Please be joking.

FASCISM has taken hold!! Meanwhile all branches of government are doing their thing. It’s all so scary! Goldfish!!

Even when I saw what was posted, I still couldn't wrap my head around it. It just made zero sense to roster a 33 year old Jordan Phillips, who spent all off-season on the couch. Bad look for Ryan Talbot to specifically make a point of saying the signing was to "the Bills 53 man roster, NOT the practice squad". At least he realizes it was a dumb move to run with that before he got the full details.

I think he is who would be brought in if they both are to miss more than a couple games. But I think it would be depth and he wouldn't be my choice. But this regime constantly values experience in the Defense over talent. It's why we keep bringing back Jordan Phillips. It's why we dug up the bones of Josh Norman. I personally think Douglas is toast. But I know they'd turn to him over anyone else first. Especially this close to the start of the regular season. They wouldn't trust someone new to come in and quickly get down his scheme. And/or they don't want to put in the extra work of teaching someone the Defense with everything else they're focusing on. I personally would bring in someone else. But realistically, I know they wouldn't do that.

Who's your Return man?

Yea he is never a straight down the highway kicker. His kicks were fine apart from the chip shot. He is always going to flirt with the uprights a bit.

Great point. And while there is elements when the coaching staff does this even if it isn’t routinely noticed, it seems to be a very linear way of draw defense as a whole. It’s system A, no ifs ands or buts. It has to be the exact type of player and if it’s not, the issue is forced or addressed solely by position rather than the best available talent. Drafting then becomes the issues I’m sure most have. There’s a few problems we are encountering because of this mindset and lack of foresight. Draft the best player available, not solely for a system or need. The same things have been the problems for a few seasons now; WR, DLine and Secondary. Thank goodness they hit on Benford cause that unit is a disaster without him.

You can have no interest in developing a QB, no dispute there. But when you have a superstar QB, the development comes from mentoring and guidance from the guy above him as much as it does coaching staff. The point isn’t about drafting a guy to replace or “become the next Josh” but rather an insurance policy incase something happens because if it does this team isn’t going to win much. The point isn’t every year but once in a while to take a flier on a guy you have as that insurance or are able to exchange for future draft pick/s to get another shot at a Milano, Taron, Shakir or Benford… Mitch was dreadful in Pittsburgh, a team that is very friendly for a QB. They moved on to Kenny Pickett because he wasn’t doing enough, which even then had to be pretty minimal. If you believe Mitch can be successful at leading us to multiple wins if Josh is unavailable, more power to you. I was in that camp prior to his Pittsburgh 2 year deal. Not anymore. There’s better options out there. Grooming a backup versus a guy who’s played a ton of football and done so very averagely since his Sophomore year seems like a smarter option. Especially when you revert it back to your point about rather having a chance at more late round gems; you could get something for him.

He's like a golfer who can't fix his slice. So he can make 85% of his kicks from the left hash but God help us if its on the right.
