Chad Johnson says Stevie Johnson the best route runner ever seen
Gregg replied to Lafromboise's topic in The Stadium Wall
I remember Johnson was the one receiver who gave Revis the most trouble. Revis usually shut everybody down. -
He's not talking about his route running ability, but his ability to release and get off the line. Stevie was amazing there, to the point where I heard the coaches didn't want him to practice their release drills. It was like "whatever you do, we can't improve on it and we don't want to tamper with it" Stevie was not a precise route runner. He excelled in Chan Gailey's offense where Chan taught "beat your man, get to the spot", not so much in SFO or SDG where the expectation was to run an exact route. That's how it looked, but a good bit of it was the receiver having options, and needing to be on the same page as the QB (and give the QB good body language) about what he was going to do. We've seen that with Josh a few times. There was one notable play where he was actually penalized for "intentional grounding" when it seemed quite obvious to the announcers and most people in the stadium that it was an option route and the receiver and he weren't on the same page. One of the film guys even diagrammed the route options and what Josh expected and why.

I really disagree with what you say. Josh Allen does not often put himself out there in support of a player getting paid more--he clearly did so this time. Just look at the words he chooses in that quote. it is clear he thinks Cook is not being payed what he deserves and wants this taken care of soon. I believe that the change in tone of Beane last week about Cook's contract status is the result of Josh being back in the house, speaking publicly about what he wants done--and very likely doing so to team leaders as well. Your examples of him praising former teammates who have left the team are not relevant, not a good comparison. Josh did not say they should have payed those players more, just praised them as teammates. That is a very different thing than what he is doing for Cook now. Yup, he would likely praise Cook next off season if he were to leave. Kind of a duh there, though, don't you think? I laughed at the way you phrased that, as it is revealing: "We could very easily see Josh making the same kind of statement about Cook when he goes after next season." It seems, like so many of the 'let Cook walk' posters, you are clear in what you would like to see. Yes, Josh actually said that "it had to be done" in an interview/press conference almost immediately after Dorsey was fired. But just like the quote I used in my post, and that you reference, it is not found online when doing a Google search. Because it was not in a written interview, those words, like his comments on Cook at minicamp, do not show up in a Google search. I think we will see very shortly the pull Josh Allen has on this team, and Cook is given a good three year extension that better "reflects" his play as "one of the best backs in the league." Josh is right and I strongly believe it now gets done before the season begins.

Sweeping the division is never easy. If the Bills have everything wrapped up going into the regular season finale, then they will treat that game like a glorified exhibition game. I will say 5-1 or 4-2. The Bills usually drop a game every year they have no business losing. Since I live in NJ I go to every Bills-Jets game here. The games at MetLife are usually close. Lost twice to Zach Wilson and in last year's 23-20 win the Jets missed 2 FG's and an extra point. That week 2 matchup will be tough. I just hope the Bills go in there 1-0. Could you imagine this board if they start 0-2.

“What? Dad let you drive his car?!” And he continues to do a horrible job putting together an offense for his MVP QB

I've ordered a George Weah 9 one for you Gunner! That one looks like a guy who mixed bloody Mary's with vodka & orange all night long and woke up to regret it.

1) Dion Dawkins 2) Spencer Brown For decades I watched our QBs get consistently beaten and bloodied while folks such as Levy and Jauron focused on running backs (with no blocking) and the secondary. The OL is the reason that Josh is able to do his job and the team wins football games. Are we sure he will make the team?

Man, Dalton Kincaid would look even more skinny in that jersey.

Tyreek Hill chirping about the Bills again
GunnerBill replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yea - it's a combination of his impatience and what @Mikie2times says about the run blitzes - the Bills are good at forcing TFLs in the run game even when they are otherwise getting gashed. It is the result of the type of defense they want to be. And if you can get Miami behind the sticks where they are reluctant to run and can't really rely on any of their window dressing motion or fakes and they just have to drop back and pass they are vulnerable. Tua as we know isn't the same when his first read isn't there and isn't mobile enough to make things happen off schedule. -
Oh geez I did block out Kelvin Doughboy Benjamin’s arrival here for a cup of heavy cream coffee and cake…

Josh says this sort of thing about everyone. As he should. Example? On Mack Hollins: "'Super sad to see Mack go. I know he was kind of a fan favorite as well as a favorite in the locker room. I'm very happy for him and what he got. Hate that he's a division rival now but it's the game that we play.'" We could very easily see Josh making the same kind of statement about Cook when he goes after next season. Is Devin Singletary as good as Cook? Or is he just a good back? Because this offense was extremely successful with Singletary as our #1 also. And did Josh actually say, "It had to be done," about getting rid of Dorsey? I don't remember that, so I googled it and your post is the #1 thing at google with those elements. I think you might be misremembering. But if I'm wrong, I'd certainly respect it if you could link it. Anytime Josh is asked about a salary dispute about a guy still on the team, he's going to say much the same thing. Not that I have any doubt Josh would like him back. I'm sure he would (along with most of the roster). But he understands salary cap issues.

Cheap Trick was really popular when I was in my first year of college- 1978. Lots of people at college were really into them. I think they had a really great shtick. 2 guy that look like rockers. 1 guy who dresses like a geek but runs around stage, jumping off speakers like a maniac. And a drummer who looks like a manager of a Radio Shack but plays the drums fiercely, all the time with a lit cigarette hanging out of his mouth.

Where are all these people "wanting him gone"? I suppose there are probably a few, but very few. Most of us don't want him gone, we don't want to overpay for him. And we think that $15M would absolutely be overpaying, and strongly suspect that Cook isn't going to sign for what we want to pay. He'll get more from someone, is my suspicion. No way. Davis and Ty are worth their contracts. Maybe a bit of an uptick at the end. And this isn't a run-first offense. It just isn't. It's maybe a pass-1A and run-1B offense. It's a you don't know what we'll do on any particular play because we can do what we want offense. Makes us unpredictable. And while it's nice to lower this year's cap number, that's not the only year that matters. They all matter. And overpaying is not a good idea, it just isn't.
