    She probably gives him pointers, but it's not exactly Shakespeare he's performing. Even without any tutorials, I have a feeling his natural self is a fine asset in front of the camera. He's got natural charisma and likeability that is innate.

    Hailee is probably coaching him up on the Stanislavski method. If only someone could coach the DL  Stanislavski’s “method of physical action”.

    They were talking about DeJean being th first white CB since Seahorn and lots of people hate on Burrow for dressing like an idiot

    No they weren’t, they were talking about DeJean changing his position from quarterback, no one ever mentioned Seahorn. I used Burrow as an example, who cares what he wears and why would anyone “hate on” him?

    Shane Falco is superior to Jackson. I cannot trust anyone who doesn't think that. Even Johnny Mox Moxon was better than Jackson, and he should have definitely changedp ositions.

     

    google Shane Falco. your entire argument is as ridiculous as you just blindly saying Shane Falco should have changed positions.

     

    Same with Ryan Leaf. Leaf didn't have the temperament but he was a damn good college qb and all of the tools

     

    you're trying to argue about Briscoe when it's been 60 years+ it is worse than Fluite/Johnson

     

    my god... you're ... just hilarious.

     

    I’m sorry, you brought up Shane Falco, a fictional character, no offense to Keanu Reeves, but he is probably a better quarterback than actor. You also brought up Ryan Leaf changing positions, which he did. He changed from quarterback to criminal. Tebow may have actually had an NFL career had he changed positions.

     

    I brought up Briscoe to see who would take the bait, the same things were said about Briscoe in the 1968, as were said in 2018, and are still being said in 2025, about Jackson.

     

    In a previous post you clearly stated that you “hated” Lamar Jackson, why is that? Is it because of off field behavior? Is there something you know that no one else knows? Do you know Jackson personally?  In this thread you presented the argument that whenever a Black person is challenged or has a disagreement, they claim racism. Is it your position that racism doesn’t exist?  
     

    As to Sanders’s mother’s comments. She was replying to Rex Ryan’s comments. Do you have specific knowledge as to Rex’s motives? I have no idea if Rex Ryan was racially motivated or not. As to what Sanders’s mother believes, or has knowledge of regarding Ryan, is speculation. I believe Ryan is a blow hard, that stole Terry Pegula’s money, but that’s my opinion. 

     

    As to your finding me “hilarious”, I could honestly care less.
     

    Racism is real, it is as real today as it was 50 years ago. It is a cancer, that leads to events like the shooting at Tops Market. As a society we can accept that and work towards change, or we can pretend it doesn’t exist, which will keep us in an endless cycle of hatred.

    Lamar Jackson was drafted in the 1st round AS A QUATERBACK. Yes,  there were some concerns given that he ran SO much in college.  He proved those concerns were unfounded. 

     

    Were the concerns that Cooper Dejean may have to move to safety also racist? 

    Dejean was never going to be a quarterback in the NFL, a position change was his only path. 
     

    “Concerns” how about attacking his mother for not hiring an agent? As recently as last week on this site one poster called Lamar stupid, another expressed his hatred for Jackson. Have you ever asked yourself why the reaction to Jackson is so virulent? He seems to be a model citizen, no sexual assaults, no domestic violence, no nothing. So what is it about him that engenders such hatred, make no mistake, it is hatred. Since you and others seem determined to make the what about the white guy argument. Why no hatred Joe Burrow? He’s a grown man that dresses up in costumes before games. I’m just using Joe as an example. I don’t know him, any more than any of the people that have vilified Jackson know him.

    Lol ok boomer.

     

    I just gave you examples of qbs who had harsh criticism coming out. Tebow especially. He was so black. 

    Leaf, Falco and Tebow were bad quarterbacks and should have changed positions. Briscoe, after his one season as a quarterback, should have been given a chance and are you really comparing Leaf, Falco and Tebow to Jackson?

    The NFL is now a majority black players.  The time you describe had a huge majority of white players.  Black players make up around 60% of the NFL while making up around 15% of the US population.  Times have changed drastically. 

    He can’t play quarterback in this league, doesn’t have the aptitude, he needs to change positions, become a wide receiver. Who am I talking about? Marlon Briscoe or Lamar Jackson?

    You’re right. The attention Shedeur gets in the media has nothing to do with his dad being famous or the way he acts. It’s because he’s the first black QB in NFL history and we all hate him for it.

    You forgot the hype leading up to the draft.

     

    All that aside, why is Rex getting so much slack? He is one of the biggest blowhards ever. Speaking of overrated.

    those events happened closer to the dropping of the atom bomb by the us on japan than shadeur's birth.  

    “Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it”.  If you don’t think that those events are relevant today, go back and read any thread on this site pertaining to Lamar Jackson.

    Are you saying there is something wrong with the "Ebonics" pronunciation of something?

    No I’m not, I’m saying that the using the Ebonics pronunciation of racist to deny racism is at the very least ironic. To deny that racism exists is like denying any issue, for example denying a health issue, it isn’t going away. To claim racism is always the definitive argument from any black person is a generalization. History demonstrates that racism is often a valid argument when it comes to discrimination. That discrimination can then manifest itself in many different ways.

     

    Since this is Bills football site, I’d like to relate a couple of things. When I was in high school some friends and I went to a Bills game at the Rockpile., after the game we were walking to Delaware Avenue to catch a bus. A few black children were playing on the sidewalk, a car with two white couples leaving the game purposely drove a high speed into a slushy puddle and soaked the kids. They wouldn’t have done that had the children been white. 
     

    Cookie Gilchrist boycotted the AFL All Star game in New Orleans in 1965 because of segregation. He was inexplicably traded that same year to Denver. why do you think that was?

     

    The Bills Drafted James Harris in 1969, he became just the second black QB to start a game in the NFL, the first being Marlon Briscoe. Briscoe was by far the best QB on Denver’s roster in 1968. When told he would no longer be the QB he forced a trade to Buffalo where he agreed to play WR. Do you think Briscoe may have had a point that he had been discriminated against?

    "effectiveness in both phases of the game"

     

    He has 4 catches in 4 games...he runs a 4.8...he caught like 50 passes over 41 games in college for like 500 yards. Not sure why everyone is so infatuated by this guy. I am happy to see a late round pick able to contribute like he has. But I am not ready to say he is the Bills TE of the future. I am fine him just being a contributor like he has. 

    Neither is Buscaglia, if you read the whole article, the interesting part is when the Bills go heavy they use Hawes and not a lineman. It gives the Bills options and can be a problem for opposing defenses.

  11. Good article about Hawes I. Tha Athletic.

     

    ”This isn’t to say that Hawes will make Knox and Kincaid obsolete on offense in 2025, or maybe even 2026. The Bills will continue to use all three through a game because, to this point, it’s one of their most significant advantages over defenses in 2025. But it’s fair to wonder if Hawes, should this strong play continue, is the future of the tight end position in Buffalo past 2025. He is a potential high-percentage snap tight end within the next three years, given his effectiveness in both phases of the game and the advantage he potentially gives them. He’s already their best blocking tight end, and it isn’t close. He can go toe to toe with any positional player and win the rep, whether it’s a defensive end, linebacker or safety. He has shown he can be a plus in the passing game, converting all four targets for a reception, two of which went for over ten yards.”

    Looked like he gave up a couple sacks and completely whiffed on the 4th down hand off to Shakir. I'm sure it's hard to come in and play flawless in that situation, so some of his mistakes are probably forgivable, but I don't think an apology thread is necessary.

    On the 4th down hand off to Shakir, Van Demark got stepped on. 

  13. If we were to ever meet, I’m sure I’d buy a beer or two, since that isn’t likely I bought your book. I’m sure what you’ve written is what we would talk about. Looking forward to reading it.

  14. I’ve been to Bills games at that stadium a number of times. Even in November the visitor side can be hot. Last night that stadium was about 30% empty, if the Dolphins keep losing, and I think they will, seats will not be a problem. Look for seats in the shade. There will be a lot of Bills fans no matter where you sit. As much as I prefer Miami Beach to Ft. Lauderdale, for a Bills game I’d stay in Ft. Lauderdale near the beach. It will be all Bills fans.

    What's interesting is that Knox's and Hawes' predraft measurables are nearly identical with the obvious difference being that Knox ran a 4.59 and Hawes ran a 4.82. Other than that, their height, weight, vertical, broad jump, 10-yard split, and bench press are almost identical... all within 1% of each other.

     

    Knox doesn't stretch the field in any discernible way and Hawes was clearly an underrated receiver coming out... I see no reason that Hawes can't be a direct replacement for Knox some day. 

     

    And Knox didn’t go to Yale.

     

    By the way when Hoecht gets back the Bills will have two Ivy Leaguers, giving them one of the smartest roster in the league.

    I would love to see a 4Q statement game against the Pats... 60 minutes both sides of the ball... a game where I dont have this constants stress LOL... but one that puts the Pats on notice that they are not that good... I suspect I wont be getting my wish though... it is my plight to fret and freak out during games... 

    I sorry to have to tell you this, you have an affliction. I have a few questions.

     

    1. Do you have ridiculous game day rituals?

    2. Do you wear the same clothes on game day?

    3. Do you have rituals during the game, like changing seats if things aren’t going well?

    4. Do you pace around during commercials?

    5. Do you read and watch anything and everything that might mention the Bills after a win? And grumble if they are not getting enough recognition?

    6. Do you avoid anything or anyone that may mention the Bills after a loss?

    7. Did you watch every game the season that Kyle Orton was the quarterback?

    Offense is solid.  Defense needs to execute better especially tackling.  

    The defense is infuriating, I hope the injured guys and suspended guys get back and help. That being said, many thought the Packers had the best defense in the league, they did not look great last night. My point is defenses seem to be struggling league wide.
