Good. Keep JA17 hungry and dissed. Actually six ain't bad. Hard to argue with the list. Watson had a down year and has a dark cloud following his season. Could have been 5...

We called it the "buddy pass".. As in yo buddy don't do that again.

C3 -- Covid, Concussion, Covid.. Tough run.

Holy smoke scream batman..

Out of curiosity, anyone know what they get paid per day to be a camp body?

I thought his arguments were well founded. He was clearly ready for that and what he wanted to say. He swayed my opinion. I particularly liked how he said I am not a victim here. I have made a lot of money. That just might have been the most composed and rational argument I have ever heard from any athlete defending their position.

Extra padding on the lineman helmets make it look like something right out of Star Wars.

Kelly is always a reminder to me of the old NFL. He took a literal pounding and the toll on his body continues.

There is no doubt in my mind that Allen was vaccinated. Allen is not going to be the reason the team doesn't succeed. Beasley wearing a mask when the others were not, could be a smoke screen, but I believe the rules are pretty clear for the unvaccinated. Mask it or get fined. After listening to Beasley today, I'm leaning toward he did get vaccinated, so the mask is a smoke screen/top cover/solidarity for the unvaccinated players. He comes out and says he is neither pro nor anti vaccine. What he is, he says is pro choice. I found it interesting that he said something along the lines that bubble players were being coerced into getting the vaccine so as not to give the team a reason to cut them. He was trying to be their voice.

Dang Rousseau is a noticeably taller than those guys and they're all tall to begin with

Morse gets dinged in camp and starts the year on IR. Breida gets cut and re-signed after initial cuts Hollister is TE1 One DL starter (Mario or Harrison or Jerry) from last year is not on the 53 (traded or cut)

A deaf, dumb and blind man could have predicted this. Last year it was Russell Wilson, this year it was Rodgers. QBs are tired of the WRs getting all the diva points..

Thanks. Good find. Josh’s public persona vs his football persona are interesting to me. In public his image is the guy a gal wants to take home to meet her parents. On the field, according to Peters of Baltimore, Josh is one of the biggest trash talkers he plays against. Peters goes on to say that its all done in a way that he enjoys the contest but Josh is a real yapper.

A rookie on a rookie scale waiting until 2 weeks before camp to sign spells agent hardball to me. What could they have been holding out for, a better parking spot?

I'm sure he meant every day has its dog..

Classic..

Tebow got caught shining his shoes which falls under the category of personal services. That was one expensive shoe shine.

Damn. The price of RT poker just went up. Contracts like this must have GMs league-wide spitting out their coffee and throwing their cups against the wall. Be interesting to see what team next signs an RT and for how much bitcoin.

Read an article recently on Knox. Said he worked 6 weeks on hand eye coordination, hung out with JA in Cali catching balls/talking strategy and now TEU. Certainly working his craft. I’m expecting a much better year and maybe a bit more BD/JA emphasis on the TE.

The two cheers I hope to hear loud and often this season should be: GROUT! GROUT!! GROUT!!! (although that will sound like something out of the Cleveland Dogpound with 80K fans doing it) and BUHGIE! BUUHGIE!!, BUUUHGIE!!!

Thanks for posting this. This was well done. I think the interesting thing for me was the discussion of the Bills draft picks. How these guys were all on the Chiefs radar as the type of player the Chiefs would typically select. Coaching tree influence? I like their discussion a lot. Nice to listen to a non-trash-talking take from an opponent's fan base. There was a fair amount of admiration expressed for the Bills team and coaching staff. I think the one thing that is really not coming through in all the talking heads reaction to the AFCCG was the Bills WRs were really banged up for that game. What we know now, torn muscle, broken leg, deep bruises all played their part in slowing down the offense. I'm not taking anything away from the Chief's defense, they played well. The DBs were mugging the WRs and the DLINE was abusing the interior of the Bills OLINE. Should be really interesting to see how the Bills go after them BOTH times this year.

Unless your TB apparently with a stout DLINE and good LBs.

As a life long Bills fan, I'm still getting comfortable with the notion that we have a legit top-5 QB1. All those years wandering the QB and HC desert have left me somewhat cautious. Josh was the guy I wanted on draft night. I was estatic when they drafted him. Last year was THE most fun I have had as a Bills fan in literally decades. Watching them hew down the over-vaunted NFC West and sweep the AFC East made for a delirious ride. Even the Cards game was awesome when Allen led them downfield to give them the lead. I used to joke with people that the Bills were the minor league football team of the NFL where they would draft the players, train them up and then send them to big league teams where their full potential could be exploited. No more. Josh Allen is now becoming a player that attracts talent. Times are a changing. I'd personally like to see Josh match last year's performance. I don't expect him to exceed it as I would hope the rest of the team picks up and truly plays complimentary football as is so oft spoken from the HC. I hope to see growth in leadership. I hope to see him continue to win games when they need him to. I hope to see him manage games when they don't. I hope to see the INTs and fumbles go down. Teams aren't going to get caught by surprise with the wide-open Daboll offense again this year. Josh's play needs to evolve this year. Like every legit top QB-1 seems to be able to do. I do wonder if Simms' mancrush on Josh doesn't skew his e v a l a bit. I personally can't pick him over Rodgers yet. Rodgers has been so clutch and displays all the things I have highlighted on a consistent level over many years. There is so much preseason hype on the Bills. Hard to go from never talked about to always talked about. From hunter to hunted. But it sure is going to be a fun ride for the foreseeable future.

Listen to this: Cowherd makes a pretty convincing case it was Chicago and our newly minted QB2..

It should be interesting to see the Ravens this year. They lost some big bodies on defense during FA. Their defense plays so well every year because they had the Dline and DBs. Their DBs are stout but benefit greatly from their Dline stopping the run allowing them to play the WRs. If teams start running on them, which I project, the complexion of their defense will change. And if some cracks open up in their rush defense, that is going to put more pressure on their offense. And if their offense is starting to switch to a more pro look (LJ under center), we are going to find out once and for all what LJ abilities are/are not. Their division is as strong as it has ever been top to bottom. There should be some classic battles in the AFC North this year. I saw a report recently that Baltimore QBs were no longer allowed to be filmed during their OTAs. "Ravens coach John Harbaugh explained the team's new restrictions on outside media using video during practice. Harbaugh was specifically asked why filming quarterback Lamar Jackson throwing the football to wide receivers was not allowed at the mandatory minicamp. "The reason is because you're not us," Harbaugh said." Sounds like it's a work in progress. edit: This article came out that puts some Ravens context on the quote above. Short read, but it essentially says the Ravens will allow some filming of a one-on-one pass to receivers, but anything that shows a complex route (2 or more) provides footage for other teams. Ravens don't want that out there. So rather than force themselves to police the media, they are just shutting down that type of coverage. https://nypost.com/2021/06/17/the-ravens-are-hiding-lamar-jackson/
