I have a funny feeling that we're in for an attempted Zach Brown-like signing at the LB position. Maybe a G. Hodges, P. Riley, or M. Morgan

What a contrast to "fully pregnant"

Blue might be worth a tire-kick; I still say take a look at Jordan Todman if they want a Gillislee-type...very similar per-carry production over the last 2-3 seasons (plus I'm unable to let go of how much I liked him at UConn )

Yes...and they are perfect. She makes the standard glazed with dark berry filling, but also has granular-coated and powder-coated, and you can get each of them with dark berry filling, strawberry filling, or lemon curd. The line on Fat Tuesday is about 20-30 people long all day long, but they crank through it pretty quickly. There's 3 locations now: Tonawanda (across the street from Ted's), Clarence (Main and Harris Hill), and Orchard Park. We have at least a dozen at every tailgate.

I would do it if (a) I had a flat fryer and (b) I didn't live within a 5-minute walk from Paula's. There is literally no reason on the planet to make (or even try) any other type of donut when you're that close to the best.

Wow...shame...he was great.

Paula's Donuts

Also a PK and kickoff specialist

I think this is sarcasm; there's no way that anyone actually believes this (unless you haven't watched him play).

I always liked Soundgarden and Temple of the Dog, but his stuff with Audioslave was easily his best IMO.

As jeff says, we won't know for sure until we see it play out on the field, but here's what he had to say about these exact issues: http://billswire.usatoday.com/2017/03/28/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-analytics-fourth-down/

Well, we can't stop this thing we started

He has Colt in blue

Wow...Beane is assembling a very interesting crop of personnel people

That was my first thought as well--it's an easy denial by the team, and an easy "I didn't realize it at the time; my neurologist suggested it could be one after the season" for Brady. Nothing to see here.

I think Rehkow will win that competition; he was borderline draftworthy IMO

Nice stuff Gunner. Some changes I would personally make Nick O'Leary in blue Jordan Mills in red Leonard Johnson in red Colton Schmidt in red

What did the VERY NEXT PARAGRAPH say?

Dude, just stop... Pro Football Focus‏Verified account @PFF Follow More Best run defense grades among CBs Xavier Rhodes, MIN, 86.4 Ronald Darby, BUF, 86.3 Brent Grimes, TB, 83.5 Aqib Talib, DEN, 83.2 He's very good in run support. First off, you need to understand that about 50% of Rex Ryan's playbook involved Cover-2, Cover-4, and Cover-6, so stop categorizing everything as though it's man coverage. Here, study up: http://www.footballxos.com/wpfb-file/2010-ny-jets-defense-rex-ryan-pdf/ Secondly, if you're in a true man scheme, then the safety is going to have man responsibilities as well, so the purpose of the safety would be to cover whoever his man responsibility is on that play. If you can't even get this simple concept down, then I suggest studying the game a bit before you partake in such discussions. And no, Darby wasn't beaten "like every other corner". He was giving up long completions on a weekly basis. Find me another corner that did so this year and we can have the discussion. If you understand how teams get built, GMs don't simply pick players that they like and tell the staff to make it work. You talk about backtracking, my entire point to begin with was that Darby lacked length. You still haven't disputed that. In fact, you've shifted the discussion about half-a-dozen times with absolutely zero recognition of what I said in the first post. Indulge me just for a second: what, exactly, are you arguing with from my post? No, that's not what I stated, and it's further evidence that you have no ability to follow a discussion. I said that he did lack the length that McDermott typically likes in his corners, but that he had other attributes that make him a great fit. Someone with a modicum of reading comprehension would've realized that and moved on by now, but you get way too deeply invested in arguing points that haven't been made. As to length versus vertical, that's a point that I never made (shockingly, you're arguing it anyway). To my recollection, McDermott has never placed a premium on vertical, nor is there any apparent correlation between vertical jump and cornerback quality. The top corners in the NFL have varying degrees of vertical ability. Richard Sherman and Patrick Peterson can vert 38", but Josh Norman's a 33" leaper. In general, however, the zone corners tend to be guys with longer arms that can tackle. And again, you let me know when Darby's vertical helps him win a single 50/50 ball in the NFL. What did I say about Darby that's wrong? Go ahead and identify one thing using a quote. Don't paraphrase, don't give me your interpretation. Use a quote from me in this very thread that says something that's not true about Darby. You will not receive another response from me on any topic until you prove yourself worthy of my time, because up until this point all you've done is show that you can't follow a discussion for anything.

You cannot possibly believe the things that you write. There's just no way. - Only 6 CBs in the entire NFL had more tackles than Darby last year http://www.nfl.com/stats/categorystats?archive=false&conference=null&statisticPositionCategory=DEFENSIVE_BACK&season=2016&seasonType=REG&experience=&tabSeq=1&qualified=true&Submit=Go - Darby was wrecked by the deep ball last year. He got burned by Marshall and Decker in the first Jets game, was responsible for Torrey Smith's deep TD against SF, got burned by Martellus Bennett for 58 yards in NE, lost his awareness and collided with the safety on the Kenny Stills bomb TD against Miami, gave up a 50-yarder to Doug Baldwin in Seattle, got scorched for a 40-yarder by Antonio Brown against Pittsburgh (and those are just the ones off of the top of my head)...any of this ringing a bell? - You need to pay more attention to detail. I realize that Tre White is the same height and weight; what I spoke to specifically was Darby's relative lack of length (you could also call attention to his lack of hand size, but hey, some folks' analysis simply isn't that nuanced). You could also harken back to the top two corners that Carolina drafted to fit McDermott's scheme last year: Daryl Worley (6'1", 33-3/8" arms) and James Bradberry (6'1", 33-3/8" arms) if you want more context. - Darby is not considered to have prototype arm length, which was my point to begin with. I'll quote Dan Quinn: Length: “You want him to have 32- or 33-inch arms,” Quinn says. “He doesn’t have to be 6-3 or 6-4 to have length.” - I never said anything about vertical jump, nor has McDermott ever seemingly placed a premium on it. Furthermore, Darby's hops certainly haven't helped him in contested catch situations in the NFL, have they? - If you go back and actually read my post (which you didn't, or you wouldn't be saying such ridiculous things), you'd know that I never said that Darby wasn't a fit. Observe: - If you're going to come after me for making "tremendously wrong" statements, it'd be best if you didn't continuously prove yourself to know absolutely nothing about any topic whatsoever. You're dismissed now.

Not a QB, but I have to get my 2 cents in on Azeem Victor, the LB from Washington. It's early, but I'll call my shot right now: he needs to be a Buffalo Bill in 2018...perfect fit for McDermott's scheme; reminds me a LOT of Thomas Davis. Also seems to be a first-rate kid from a character perspective.

I'm glad to see that you still don't actually address the point of discussion; it would truly throw me off kilter. Nothing I said was incorrect. What sets Tre White apart from other corners his height/weight is that he's got great length--32-1/8" arms. If you can honestly read my post and think that what I said makes Darby out to be a midget that can't learn a scheme, then you've now set a new record of requiring only one post to reach your standard threshold of total inability to have a discussion.

Thanks...I'd even advocate for taking a flier on a corner like Tharold Simon--who fits the size/length mold that McDermott likes--if it means being able to put Darby in the best position to succeed.

You expect Shaq Lawson to lead the NFL in tackles by a DE? Only 3 DEs in the entire NFL had more than 60 tackles last year, and 2 of them played 5-tech in a 3-4

Not possible--FA didn't start until March
