rather stick with Poyer

I've got 1OA in a 12-team snake draft, PPR, ESPN scoring. I think I want to trade draft slots. Thoughts?

After spending all last season on the PS, Hardy should have looked much better in the preseason. As it was, he looked utterly lost-- like he had just been introduced to the Bills' defense. Really inexcusable. As athletic as he supposedly is, he's apparently in the wrong sport.

Why can't a team ever release a Free Safety? Every time I see a S released, I get my hopes up then see it's just an in-the-box thumper type guy. Peppers is not even close to a fit for our current safety needs.

Yes, we have to draft one of each as well, but I don't give it a second's thought other than to see who the W1 opponent is.

I like this idea. Be aggressive. Just have someone for kickoffs.

Yes, it seems Taron and the safeties will need to help out the second corner no matter who he is. But do you really start a guy who is promising but clearly wasn't ready even before he missed weeks of training camp, as well as the first four weeks of the year? I mean, you do if you're the Browns, but not if you expect to go to the Super Bowl. Right, hence my expectation that a trade is in the offing. The problem is just too glaring. Trouble is, you don't want to give up too much with a promising first-round pick ready to start next year, probably, so you're not going to get much, either.

Glad it is not just me. His "A fan's reaction to ..." and weekly round-up videos are great (sometimes, frankly, brilliant) but I have tried a few times to sit through his streams, both alone and with other podcasters, and have had to bail every time.

Yeah I am really high on both TJ Sanders and Walker. I think both will make strong impacts this year, and if they are impacting the game guys like Oliver and our edge guys like Groot, Bosa, etc are all going to be better. And if a guy like Walker can command double teams it also makes life better for Bernard and Milano. And that dominos to the secondary, if we are being more disruptive upfront it makes life better on the secondary. The counter balance to that optimism is that they are still young, we are still playing in a rotation, but I do think they are going to be impactful as rookies. And our 2 guys coming off suspension after week 6 are guys who will contribute as well and will be coming in with fresh legs. So I am pretty optimistic right now about our defense, even with my concerns at Safety.

Had eye exam at Lens Crafters this AM. Getting bifocal lenses replaced with readers. Will be getting them in about a week . while I was there, I think I got a message from beyond. When I was walking out of there, I started getting back spasms. A good friend from when I lived in CA died at the time I was in the Lens Crafters. Got a call a couple hours later from another friend out there telling me the bad news.

Preseason is not an entertainment product is something people forget. It’s mostly for starters to shake some rust off and then for backups and PS players to get in reps to see if they can make the roster. I do hate how for season tickets they will make you buy the preseason games but that’s the cost of doing business no one forces people to get season tickets

I expect this is similar to some of the stuff McDermott and Beane did when they took over in 2017. They moved on from a bunch of players who were good (Gilmore, in FA) or could play (Ron Darby, 2015 2nd round pick - started for us 2 years and was still starting in the league last year at age 30). In some cases it was because they didn't fit what McDermott wanted to do defensively; in others it was because they had trade value and Beane wanted to stockpile picks; in some cases it was because they weren't "culture fits" Obviously Peppers has no trade value or they wouldn't have cut him, but my guess is, he either doesn't fit the culture or defensive scheme for Vrabel

I'm a little fuzzy on the rules here. If a team offered him a new multi year contract would the Patriots still be on the hook for all the guaranteed money they owe him? Basically, could Peppers double dip?

Exactly, plenty of people want to see the young guys, camp battles, etc. But some people are complaining about the games being "unwatchable" when the purpose of the game is about player evaluation, not entertainment. And there are a lot of people who do find camp battles, young guys, players battling for a roster spot, etc interesting still and entertaining even though the reason these games exist are for the coaches and GM's to put together their rosters.

As a republican, what do you find most upsetting about the data provided in those tweets?

I have heard that... he always wants the holder to carry a towel and wipe the ball down... then he loses focus and you have to get him back... LOL

Rapp is definitely the top one. I agree there

Chemistry and consistency are big for offensive line play. So much data and institutional knowledge have all backed up that idea. Overall the Bills offensive line went from frustratingly ok to bad from 2020-2022 to one of the top units in the league

FWIW that's the exact opposite of how Gunner Bill sees him in the post above yours.

I’ll give Vrabel and Wolf this, they are cleaning house on guys that don’t fit what Vrabel wants or expects. We’ll see how it plays out and whether it backfires or not

I like that dudes comedy (Pack fan) but hearing him just talk shop makes me want to punch his face

Come on man, they're the hottest band in the land.

They prefer salt?
