Agree except I do think there will be a camp leg, if only to be exactly that. Each kickoff is a chance to practice for the new kick return configuration, which is supposed to encourage more returns. And Tyler probably doesn't need to kick every single one. Juggs machine balls just aren't the same.

I'm on board with getting a talented young stud in here, maybe not at 28, but to be able to play & learn under DaQuan, Ed and this guy! 🧱🧱🧱🧱

wow, a great signing! this is teaching tape on how you maintain gap control, then make plays off that! the last few plays show him with some nice wins vs. Morse/McGovern in the last Chargers game 😧

welp, to address your concerns, a Curtis Samuel signing should certainly make you feel better! 😅 I didn't foresee any 3 yr/30 million dollar contracts to be allocated to the WR room, but I like it! let Josh cook!

could be used like another guy named Samuel over there in SF in fact, that's kind of what Brady did with him in Carolina in 2020 fun fact: Curtis started at tailback for OSU in 2014 (right after Ezekiel Elliott)

I'd love to see KJ Osborn sign here, for competition's sake - he'd upgrade our weaponry experience-wise Still relatively young and was productive despite being an afterthought in Minnesota Probably wouldn't cost Beane a fortune to sell him on coming in here to catch lasers from Josh

Yes, and not that this was the only reason we lost, but I am sure it didn't help our run D I'm good, we actually agree that he's not All-Pro but it's a good signing. I think he's more important than you is all. 🤝

YOU have posted on this board taking issue with people who erroneously claim he was "playing at an All-Pro level" I explained why he hasn't even sniffed that (his sack totals), which you just reinforced above 👆 I have never said he has played at an All-Pro level And have only said he is a very important piece on our D You seemed to imply that based on what he signed for, he's not really that good I think he's a very, very good player in this league at that position And other than a torn pec, he has been very durable, so I expect that to continue We both are glad he signed, let's agree on that! 🍻

and I really think Terrell Bernard is a big key to stopping the Chiefs, matchup wise having him and Milano back will be huge (as compared to playing them in the playoffs with AJ Klein wearing a green dot helmet!)

ok, what is that incredibly high standard, sacks, right? {unless you watch that all-22 film, or you are perhaps a D-line coach, or even O-line?} I'm glad he didn't rack up a ton of sacks, because he'd cost more! why did Madubuike get all that loot? (hint, 26 yr old DT with 13 sacks!) we know he's not Chris Jones, or Aaron Donald, who also rack up the sacks & pressures not sure where Frank Clark comes in, as he is a DE/LB who can sack the QB all this doesn't mean DaQuon cannot regularly do his job in the middle of our defense (against poor or good competition) why would you discount his pressure rate, stat guy? but you are correct, he is not All-Pro status for whatever that point is worth... I would argue he could sniff it if a few more of those pressures became sacks amazing signing by Beane, Go Bills! 🙌

you can solely focus on his contract, but it doesn't necessarily prove your point he's 32 and coming off an injury, that's going to cost you some $ & unlike Floyd, he presumably chose to stay here, which also means a bit less $ wise in any event, a great job by Beane - kept a very important piece for a manageable number he and Oliver are a very good tandem and Beane will likely add a modest FA here and draft a guy as well if we go with a WR at 28, there still should be talented DTs in round 2 the 2 guys from Texas, Jenkins from Michigan, and the Fla State dude are all possibilities and I think we have an extra 4th and 5th rounder, so I expect Beane to use those to move up to get someone mid 2nd round

he holds the clipboard at a sharper-than-45-degree angle, which reduces the chance the cameras can pick up his play charting 😂 Todd Collins made a ton of money doing that job well come to think of it, I don't even think backups do that anymore

were you getting reprieve from the heat? 🍁

Well there was some talk of JA being at the top of the previous draft class as well (if he came out early). And there's footage of Josh on some podcast telling the story of why he stuck around for another year mainly because he just couldn't look his coach in the eye & tell the only guy who gave him a D1 chance that he was leaving early (along with all of the other offensive talent that was graduating). But I do agree that his work with Jordan Palmer was very significant in getting him NFL ready & then some. In fact, Palmer was the first guy who really tipped me off to the idea that we may really have a unicorn on our hands... he would often refer to Josh as 'one of the most talented people to ever play the position' and I would say he has been proven correct at this point.
