Yeah but what's not good is that the Bills have had playoff caliber talent for the past couple of seasons and haven't been able to make them. That indicates other issues that need to be addressed. Personally, I think QB play is one of them so maybe this will be the season. Unfortunately, I think coaching is another and that doesn't bode as well.

Let's hope that Manny is back and at least at 90% so the Bills can get passable play from the position. Otherwise it will be a bullseye for the Ravens.

One of many surprising pearls from Iron Mike.

How long did the Bills keep Matt Leinert a couple of years ago? Wasn't it like 3 days or something?

I think that it can only help if he comes back in the second half of the season because the Bills are so weak at the position, but to expect a rookie with no training camp and coming off a significant surgery to come in and be a major contributor this season seems a little unrealistic.

Wake me when a team that he owns actually makes the playoffs.

Lol. Nice.

One of these is true, or maybe neither. Speculation is awesome.

Based on my anecdotal experience of two knee ligament injuries I think that it's not a good sign when there is that much swelling (obviously). It's a blow, but I doubt it will be the last injury to an important player this season. This is football after all. Need to keep going.

I need one of those.

I also see the pass rush as majorly problematic. In this defense the OLBs are critical for the pass rush- more important than the DL. That's why they took an OLB #1. And don't forget that Kyle Williams is another year older and coming off a major injury too.

Someone has to start. That's the justification. Right now the Bills don't have an NFL quality ROLB on the roster and healthy.

Plus Clay is over the middle and they're trying to get him the ball more in the passing game,

DTs are going to start soon.

I think that listing Seantrell Henderson as the swing tackle is probably way to optimistic. The guy hasn't even been medically cleared yet right? And then know knows what football shape he will be in. I think you have to put Kouandjio as the swing tackle at this point, as bad as that sounds. You were at camp and probably know best, but from what I've read Goodwin was doing very well until his heat exhaustion issue. Given how much they value speed at WR. I'd have to think that he is ahead of Salas right now. I'm surprised that's you'd have Wilder ahead of Gillislee given how well he looked in the games last season. I'd have Gillislee at number 3 at least until Wilder shows something in the preseason. If Blanton starts at safety, do you think that Graham reverts to cornerback ahead of Robey or Moore with Duke Williams as the backup safety? Duke has looked good from the reports I've read and he may be a better safety than Robey/Moore are CBs. That is all. Looks awesome otherwise.

As Buddy Nix once said, there's no point in adding a player just because you don't have a starter at the position who can play. He's got to be good otherwise you now have two guys who can't play.

Naah, numbers are numbers. Hopefully he does it proud.

Any Bills LOLB. Read the post. Name one that's better, or even in the same league for that matter.

Dwight Freeney will have more sacks this season with Atlanta than IK will have in his entire career. He has 120 career sacks and is a HOF candidate. No starting left OLB prospect on the team has come within 5 yards of a QB in their careers. He will better than what the Bills have right now even when he's 40 years old. IMO.

No? IK is better?

Too bad. Would have helped this season I think.

Astro, who's the new left "edge" player? What are your thoughts? Or will it be a committee approach?

Trade talks for who? EJ? Why would they trade for EJ when they could bring in Foles without a trade? I don't follow.

It's like he's looking for the place where there are the most defenders to plow into.

It may not look so funny when they do the Bills.
