Maybe it stems from this connection she made with Kim Pegula.

Oops. Kim wasn't on this episode. Never mind.

He is not just a D3 try hard guy. He has something many others do not.

The Bills suspended Chris Brown last year for answering a Tasker question about who was playing where on the OL. Probably an innocent mistake as he had been reporting on his practice observations his entire career. Tasker asked Beane the theorerical question about cutting an unvaccinated player over a vaccinated one. I doubt that was cleared by anyone. I like Brown as the host more than I did Murphy and he tends to keep Tasker on point, often completing his thoughts when he loses them, correcting him for name slips and the like. Brown is better at the interviews as Steve's thoughts tend to ramble during a the formulation of a question. Steve is very good a story telling, I think, which is when he is at his best.
Suffice to say there are different types of bonuses that make up the 150 million and there will be cap hits from them all 8 years.

Jordan Palmer due on One Bills Live at 1 PM. I love hearing him gush about Josh. It never seems old to me. Puts a smile on my face every time.

its annoying cause we all want to know whats going on, but if mcd and co think it gives them even a .0001% boost keeping things under wraps than i can appreciate it. especially after having endless regimes with more information leaks than holes in swiss cheese
The Browns live stream their entire practice. They zoom in tight during the team portion so as to not show any formations outside the tackle box. They sell advertising for this.

Hire the right people, empower them to do their jobs, provide them with all the resources they need and, finally, don't get caught doing embarrassing things on tape, or at least suppress it and have it destroyed.

I could be wrong, but watching this video from both angles I'm pretty sure this was pass interference - looks like Milano was between Knox and the ball and had him wrapped up before the ball got there.
Anyone else?
Once the ball was deflected up into the air, good play by Hyde to put it away and run it back.

If that happened in a game to a Bills receiver I'd be wanting a DPI call. Milano had Knox wrapped up before the ball got there and Dawson could only go for it with one hand. Also, I am all for more aggressive play on the TE, force the refs to make the call. We know they will make catches if they get a free release and are not challenged at the catch point. At least they did last year.

Maybe she heard the Bills had talked with both the Broncos and Browns about moving up and assumed it was for the #1 overall pick whereas I think it was for the #4 overall pick.

Rousseau is a half a helmet taller than anyone I can see in that video. Just a huge dude.
Are those pads on the linemen's helmets new or have I not been paying attention? Looks like a segmented variation of Kelso's anti concussion Kazoo model.

My first TC was in Fredonia. Got Fergy's, Jim Richter's, Dan Manucci's, Greg Cater's, and David Humm's autographs!
I remember Bruce's rookie year training camp at Fredonia. He was giving Jones and Devlin fits during one on one drills and was chuckling out loud at their frustration. That was before he got serious about being a pro.

There is not ONE way for football players or teams to become great.
Many come from very rough circumstances and turn those adverse "non-nurturing" situations into the fuel for their greatness.
The most significant player the Bills developed in the drought era was Jason Peters..........a future HOF'er and greatly respected teammate..........that dude didn't give his best at Arkansas..........got sabotaged by his college coaches in the draft process...........went undrafted to a terrible organization.........and still became an All Pro LT in almost no time after only being a TE in college.
Your corporate/self-help strategy sounds great........works for some...........but you can get nurtured by a figurative pair of grass-fed DDD teets and it ain't gonna' keep you from being dominated on the field by a guy like Peters.
I respond with this.

The OP made a good point/comparison.
But you are getting carried away.
The Patriots dominated the league for nearly 20 years using a very different approach............it'll take a lot of "nurturing" for anyone to accomplish half of what they've done.
Most NFL dynasties were built on competition for jobs, motivation by any means necessary and cold blooded management decisions.
I do not get your point. How does an individual's quest to be great track with how an organization manages its business in a two decade run of excellence? Josh's back story is part of what makes him who he is. As he has often said "You bloom where you are planted." Family, Firebaugh, coaches at every level, Reedley, Wyoming, the Bill and his unique situation with Palmer. Surround yourself with people that believe in you wherever you can find them and bust your butt to give them the satisfaction of being right.

It takes fuel, oxygen and heat to make a fire. If any of the 3 is missing then there is no fire. In an SAT type analogy, it takes special talent (physical and/or mental) a nurturing environment that can foster growth (family, community, coaches, peers and opportunity) and true passion to be great at anything. I think JAQB17 is upper echelon in all 3 components.

I remember watching a certain Bills vs Patriots game where Knox made an absolutely ridiculous catch with Patrick Chung draped all over him. It was a remarkable catch for any reciever, let alone a TE.. then I flash back to so many "easy" passes literally bouncing off his hands.
I dont know what to make of it all.
When he is in tight coverage he is totally focused on making the catch. When running in the open he wants to know where the defenders are and is less focused on the ball. That's my theory anyways.

Maybe this was posted here back around the time of the draft but this is an interesting article by Brentley Weissman of The Draft Network which appeared there on 4/8. I think he underplays the part that relatively mediocre pro day workout numbers he posted had on creating his drop in most ratings but he had him #11 on his draft board. I'll say this, when a 19 year old has a season like he had in 2019 it likely points to there being something special about him.
WHY HAS GREGORY ROUSSEAU FALLEN SO FAR?
The conclusion:
"At the end of the day, Rousseau’s rare length, agility, and sheer power allow him to make plays that other defenders simply can’t. Do I wish he was quicker twitched and had more of a sample size to go off of? Sure. However, I struggle to see why folks are down on this player when, for the most part, his tape is excellent—and from a physical traits standpoint, he has it all."

That was really interesting. A name I didn't see was Marv Hubbard. He played for Randolph Highschool and had a very good career with the Raiders.
I played against his brother in high-school football.
Marv and Shane were mentioned in the article.

Jim McCusker from Jamestown, a DT who played from 1958 to 1964.

Big improvement in the running stats in the last 9 vs. the first 7. Unsettled OL, Moss with turf toe and pass heavy play calls contributed to a slow start. I'd suspect these yards before contact numbers were really bad in the first 7 games.

Here it is. I have the link to this video copied and ready to paste into a post if someone hadn't done so already. Doug should be in sales or maybe politics.

Knox is one of those players who can make insane catches, but also drops easy ones. To me, that means he is either over thinking things (since drops are probably on his mind), or he is not concentrating enough for the easy ones, as others have pointed out.
I think his issues can be fixed. He actually caught a bunch of TD's at the end of the season and was one of our more consistent scoring threats.
At this point, I would expect him to be the #1 TE on the depth chart unless the Bills trade for Ertz or someone similar.
when he is making a tough, contested catch he has shown some talent. When he has attempted catches where he is unsure of where the defenders are he has shown lapses. I think that describes a big portion of his drops.

Home/road splits for his career doesn't show a road problem:

👍🏻 I agree, he’s my guy and I wouldn’t trade him for Mahomes or any other QB in the league.
One thing we need to take into consideration though and it has been mentioned in other threads in the past: Josh’s one amazing season took place during a season in which there were little to no fans in every game. The AFCCG was the biggest crowd of the year and, while our OL and offensive game plan certainly weren’t up to the challenge of the chiefs average D...... I don’t think Josh responded very well either.
After reading several opinions here regarding how a full crowd wouldn’t have affected his season very much, I can’t say that I agree with that completely. I’m obviously not a professional athlete with lots of big crowd experience, but in the 20 or so important games I’ve played in my lifetime, I was able to sense the size of the crowd and the magnitude of the moment to a much finer degree when playing in front of thousands of people as opposed to a few hundred. I would say that my play was below par throughout the first quarter or so of the big games, partly due to the pressure of playing in front of so many people. It’s not as if Josh was a dominant success story throughout his career. 2020 was his best season as an athlete, HS, college or professional. And it was in front of little to no fans.
Again.....I’d still take Josh over Mahomes, but stringing together dominating seasons in front of full stadiums is another feather in Mahomes’ cap that Josh has yet to achieve
I have heard this angle on his play, maybe by you, to which I have replied that Josh has shown a better performance over his career in road games. This may be slanted by few more extra windy games at home but at the very least it seems to say that Josh is a road warrior and a hostile crowd does not affect him in significant way. Think Vikings, Dolphins and Cowboys road games. I will say this about your point that when things seem to be slipping away he can go batshit crazy, desperately trying to make a play but usually that's more due to game circumstances created just as much by the team performance in general as by him. The Texans playoff game is often cited but there were plenty of instances where his teammates came up less than they needed to be.
Now if you are talking more of an emotional state of being vs. the actual difficulties presented by operating with the added difficulties of being overwhelmed by crowd noise, then maybe that's something to look for and I will keep an open mind on it.

2016 Bills Season Defining Moments
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by JESSEFEFFER
Imo, the two best Tyrod Taylor games of the season were both losses. The Seahawks and the Dolphins II. The critical plays, at least the ones that convinced me that Rex had to go were these:
On Dan Carpenters FG attempt Richard Sherman hit him after a whistle blow injuring him. Buffalo then took an illegal formation penalty as Carpenter made his 30 yd kick. Back five yards Carpenter missed his FG after making the prior two and Buffalo still trailed by two scores at 28-17.
1st & 10 at SEA 35
(0:03 - 2nd) D.Carpenter 53 yard field goal is No Good, Short, Center-G.Sanborn, Holder-C.Schmidt. PENALTY on SEA-R.Sherman, Defensive Offside, 5 yards, enforced at SEA 35 - No Play. Unabated to the kicker. (But the late whistle allowed Sherman to hit Carpenter--legally)
(0:03 - 2nd) Timeout #4 by BUF at 00:03. Trainer came on to the field to attend to #2. Charged 4th? timeout to #2. He has to leave for next play
1st & 5 at SEA 30
(0:03 - 2nd) J.Williams spiked the ball to stop the clock.
2nd & 5 at SEA 30
(0:01 - 2nd) (Field Goal formation) PENALTY on BUF-D.Carpenter, Delay of Game, 5 yards, enforced at SEA 30 - No Play.
2nd & 10 at SEA 35
(0:01 - 2nd) (Field Goal formation) D.Carpenter 54 yard field goal is No Good, Wide Right, Center-G.Sanborn, Holder-C.Schmidt.
In the confusion of the Sherman hit on Carpenter (late whistle for unabated) his removal from the game for one play, the need to spike followed by the officials trying to sort out the situation. They started the play clock and it got down to 8 seconds before the ball was finally marked. It hit zero for a noticeable period of time before anyone involved with the game noticed, including the refs one of which finally threw the flag. No one got the play clock reset. No one on the Bills side noticed this error. Neither player on the field nor Rex nor someone on his bloated 27 member coaching staff. A small detail ti which no one paid attention.
Did the Bills defense only have 10 men on the field during Ajayi's backbreaking 57 run into Bills territory in OT? Yep. Two years into his coaching Rex still couldn’t even get the proper number of players on the field.
The worst about this sequence was that after the punt, controversial as it was, there was a TV timeout. So there was an extended amount of time for someone to count to 10. Another detail that slipped by Rex and staff.
What was the silver lining in these two events? I think it made it clear in Terry and Kim's mind that their big splash, "send a message to the league" hire was a mistake. That he neither paid attention to details, delegated responsibility nor held the right people accountable, thus creating the mindset about the qualities they wanted in their new coach hire: A leader of men who was obsessed with details, be they important or seemingly trivial. That whole "for want of a nail the kingdom was lost" mentality. Because of Rex, they had a new appreciation for a HC candidate like Sean.
