Tell Josh's testicles to watch out

I think we are aligned on this takedown. As I have said before, I think it's ok to be frustrated at where Coleman is right now especially seeing Ladd McConkey busting loose in LA. But to your point, if the team wanted to replace the role envisioned for Coleman they wouldn't have been bringing in the 5'10 Elijah Moore. Do you want to argue that they might push Coleman down the depth chart? Maybe. Coleman has been with the 1s while Moore has been with the 2s. But really, they all do such different things that I sincerely think that Joe Brady understands that unless they get spectacularly lucky no one on the roster is going to be an elite prototypical #1 outside WR. What I see him doing instead is setting the roster and gameplan each week to hone in on a defense's weakness. Kincaid and Coleman will be blocking possession receivers Coleman and Shakir are YAC monsters Samuel and Cook can catch out of the backfield Moore and Palmer are vertical stretchers I mentally circle back to the 2023 Cowboys and 2024 Jags games. Brady recognized glaring weaknesses in both defenses, the Cowboys subpar run defense and the Jags insistence on man coverage and kept spamming those counters (Running away from Micah Parsons, motion to identify man matchups)

Which is, in effect, cutting. Coleman is on a second round rookie deal. It's not like Beane would be trying to pawn off an aging free agent signing. Even if you got a trade the salary cap gains are practically wiped out by the guy you're replacing him on the roster for, based on Coleman having a 'meh' rookie season Did he bang your girl? Because even if you aren't a fan of Coleman's game having a cost controlled body who has an outside shot of developing is going to be a lot more appealing for a GM than taking a stroll through a retirement home so I can only guess this is a deep personal grudge

I mean he certainly knows how to make a defense look good: coach offense for their opponents Alternately: Good for him. Running a defense is something he's never done before but the same could be said about running an offense

As much as I am very much not shutting the door on Coleman, every time I've heard Elijah Moore's name mentioned since practices began it's been followed by "makes a play"

I highly, highly, highly doubt that Beane is cutting a 33rd overall pick after one season where the guy got 500+ yards and 4 TDs If you want to say that Beane saw a need, ok. It's ok to be frustrated that Keon isn't an overnight success. But this is just silly

I want to remind people that for a while it was conventional wisdom in the league to give WRs three years to determine whether they would work out, but after you got a rash of rookie wonders patience has begun to run out. Of course, this trend has already happened with QBs. Luck, RGIII, Wilson and Kaepernick all seemed to explode onto the league at the same time and that became the expectation. Fast forward and you are seeing a multiple high round QB "busts" taking starting roles for other teams. Ask the Browns if they would take a straight up QB trade with the Bucs right now. I'm not promising Coleman success but sweet mercy I think we are rushing to conclusions

Bust! It's gotta be 6!

I legitimately wish him the best and hope he's ok. Out of concern for his safety he should let Tua get sacked on every play

For me there are four slots I am eyeing with great interest: -Kincaid & Coleman as big bodies possession receivers -Moore and Palmer outside -the glut at 1 Tech DT and DE opposite Groot: TJ Sanders, Landon Jackson, Solomon, Bosa, Hoecht, Walker and Carter. I think there is going to be bleed on the line If they hit on one productive person per slot that's a dangerous offense

I'm thinking of three plays: his first TD playing against the Jags, that pass at the LOS at Houston and against the Titans on a slant. They came on busted or bad coverages but for a guy supposed to be slow he absolutely torched the back end when he got the ball in space. If we are looking to manufacture cases of that color me curious about putting him on returns

I would be very happy if he is a reliable red zone killer

Dude I've been in the "give Keon time" camp. It's way too early to pull the plug. But I'm also hearing Palmer and Moore looking *very* good through spring practices. If they're the better option at the outside right now they should have the job and let Keon develop

Honestly it's good to hear our injury concern D line all start healthy

This might be where Keon gets his niche this year. He's having a rough camp start but we've seen him with the ball in his hands and in college he was part of the screen game so he can read holes This brings me back to the pre- Josh era

I've finally reached the age that makes me NFL ancient and I wince at the birth year of rookie players

A QB named Matt Smith

Doctors were happily surprised that the baldness was a pre-existing condition and not a damaged spleen. Now that the quip is out of the way Oh thank you sweet buttery Christ our bald boy is ok

Look I don't think he's happy about the situation but I think his agent is at least telling him the reality of the situation. Under the CBA Cook has no leverage. Holding out avoids injury risk but actively diminishes his future contract value. His best chance of a payday is to play nice and then kill it when the season rolls around

Probably not Look, I would be pleased if Beane works out something with Cook. Heck, I'm not shutting the door on using the franchise tag to effectively tell Cook "do it again" But they definitely seem to have a contingency cooking

I honestly thought the first practice was Thursday! Bring the HYYYYYPE

Already did my time on the grill for lunch because the baby woke up at 5 am. I have her in her Bills inside of course One particular present is "one size fits all" 😜

I just *keep* hearing rave reviews about Elijah Moore. Obviously let's see what happens when the pads come on but it would be great if we had a major find

Once again, I'll do my small plug for NFL+ Premium. $100 a year for live radio streams and NFL Sunday ticket, replays available almost immediately after the game, All-22 footage. It's a quarter of the price I paid in 2023 for Sunday Ticket to watch 3 Bills games live that I couldn't have watched without it. Plus it's for the full year so I can rewatch my favorite games from last year in the dead zone before training camp

He might. Granted he's a bubble player but he's a special teamer, knows the system and we aren't overwhelmed with LB depth. They saw something in him that they didn't in Nick Morrow last year
