Don’t hate on the sweater vest under tweed jacket look. It is very appealing to all women of a certain age and even some women of a certain younger age. It easily adds 20 points to my projected IQ. Add in some yammering about case law and they literally melt.

Was that Tom Brady's binky?

Now do the Billionaire owners who contribute nothing.

I dont, and I am guessing Beane does not appreciate how Cook is handling "business". Nor does he want to set precedent, and reward such Non Bills DNA behavior. Back in early 70s when Buffalo was freezing, and Bills not so good, Al Davis used to threaten to trade hold outs to Buffalo lol

Easy to argue that RBs are scheme protected in a McVay/Shanny offense as well. Maybe even more so. Just differently. Should also factor all the times we dont even get to 3rd down because Cook is gaining 5 yards/carry (4.9), while Kyren needs 3-4 carries just to move the chains.

Is Kyren a 3 down back? If so, Kyren is 1/3 more useful that Cook. This should, and Im sure is baked into Beanes offer

You forgot how many times we will hear "Everybody Eats" in reference to the offense.

not to get into heavy x&o but iirc we ran the heavy jumbo set (6oline plus 2TE) a ton early in the season and were able to get a lot of success w knox/kincaid seam but as far as actually running the ball from jumbo it's basically either outside zone or duo...it's an exotic look but we aren't doing it to add a gap and get fancy w some zone blocking scheme, we were basically just using it to bash people and try to get defenses out of their lighter sets all this to say- i think cook has it a lot easier running the ball in this offense than he would elsewhere. hes scheme protected in a way kyren williams for example isn't

As I said I'd be willing to give him 11 12 million dollars a year That's more than fair for what he does

Maybe Cook should politic better in the locker room so he can stand up in Josh's wedding so he can make $14M-17M like Knox who apparently doesnt block well, which I'd argue is a bigger part of the TE job than RB. Guys, thank you, but I get all this. Im obviously being half facetious in my posts. But it really isnt a show stopper for me either, given Cook's other talents which we have not been able to recreate with any other back we've had.

Problem is if you check to a pass then it may require Cook to pick up a blitzer. A lot of people downplay the importance of run blocking but it is a huge deal imo.

menu question: neither of these is really football or Bills related, but it's a Tuesday night and we have what we have on hand: Tikka Masala with Naan Chicken Marsala w/ angel hair either one we would probably add some roasted or steamed veggies from the garden. Either way it's chicken + a Wegmans sauce from the pantry tonight after work. I'm torn, though.

The jumbo online package is more first and 10 , second and short and 3rd and 2 and less... They might take occasional shot plays out of it on second and short but it's not a third and long package It's not something they really bring out on 3rd and 11 when a defense is bringing a pressure package... When you typically need your running back to block or chip and Release

Tua, and the Fish in general, have been fantastic against the also-rans of the NFL. The knock on Tua is his durability as well as his (to this point) inability to put a team on his back and win the tough games. It seems as though teams with well-coached defenses take away what Tua does best, and he struggles to compensate. I don’t personally “hate on” Tua — I’m actually concerned for his long-term health and would have advised him to retire after the last round of concussions. I think he’s a good dude and a very good QB — but not elite.

🤔

I think if you can put yourself in Cook's shoes or Beane's shoes it is easy to see why there is conflict and a resolution might not be easy. Honestly not sure the Bills want to pay his market value.

That's way too many charges. You won't see that happen at men's games, football, basketball, etc. shouting matches between players and fans don't even do anything. The WNBA is a joke - this will hopefully continue.

Classic coaches not putting our players in positions to succeed. Should have been feeding our most productive player of that game and the hot hand, not forcing him to do something he doesnt do well.

yes we do. part of that is to facilitate the run game, and also because neither of our TEs is what i would describe as a good inline blocker but neither of those negate the requirement that your RB be able to handle blitzes properly
