The fantasy football people out there are all expecting for Moss to eventually be the primary back, Moss is even going before Singletary in a lot of drafts. I suspect this is mostly groupthink speculation. I keep reading (on fantasy sites) that Moss has looked better in camp & Singletary has fumbled too much, but I've heard next to nothing positive or negative about Moss all camp & nothing of Devin fumbling. If there was any truth to this, at least for week 1, I assume all of TBDers would know about it.

I think McKenzie is cut. The "gadget" role is a remnant of when we didn't have the weapons to run a modern NFL offense & needed to use smoke & mirrors. Those days are gone.

I agree, I like Bates a lot. He would be our best option as backup Center, and can play OT in a pinch.

For the NFL as a whole, way more injuries. Look at MLB, the amount of star players missing time is staggering. I have faith that our trainers are among the best in the league, but we'll still have some, with abbreviated everything, it's inevitable. Not to mention when players test posistive for Covid... MLB teams cancel games for up to a week after 1 player gets a positive test. When that happens on an NFL team, there's no way they play a game that week. NFL doesn't have the ability to play double-headers, or even play multiple games per week, and there's no open weeks at the end of the season to make those up. My guess is there'll be teams that only play 13-14 games, while others may play all 16. They're gonna have to use winning percentage to determine playoff teams.

Thanks for the quality update on Namechanger. I have an old Watkins I was gonna try them out on, now I won't bother.

It just mimics contact in a moving pocket. Some teams use pool noodles or pads to whack at the QB, same concept.

That Norwood jersey is hilarious. Would buy that guy a beer if I saw it in person.

I think Milano is an ideal for the Bills defense, and not so much for most other teams. While I think he's worth a pretty big deal to us, I don't think he'll get as much because of that limited market for him. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely want him locked up, but I don't think he'll get close to Dawkins' deal.

The crazy thing is that some states are already operating like there never was a pandemic. I was in Iowa over the weekend and crowds are everywhere. I ate in a packed restaurant, with only the staff wearing masks. The only people I saw wearing masks the whole weekend were hotel & restaurant staff.

Well that fracking sucks...

You get on the Wall based on your on-the-field body of work, not being a great person. You shouldn't get that revoked for the opposite. Whatever a player does off the field doesn't change their sports career, only perception of them as a person. If OJ was involved in a murder trial while he was still playing, yeah he's not going up on the Wall. But he's already there & one of the best RBs of all time.

As much as I'd love to see both Kaeperick & the Pats fail, I don't want that POS to get another NFL job. Even if he was a backup, coverage of him would dominate sports news for the whole season, I'd rather burn my eyes with a blowtorch than have to suffer through that. Imagine ESPN covering the Bills AFC Championship Game win for 45 seconds, before a 5 minute segment on Kaepernick & his latest protest...

I've only been to 3, and it's been 16 years since the last. Lived in IL all my life. When my kids were born, I decided to wait until they were old enough to endure the antics at the Ralph to hit a game, but by that time they were playing football every Sunday. I'm trying to make a late season game work this year, it'll be their first.

Arians is a favorite because he traded for a HOF QB? If they somehow won 13 games, the difference would have to be Brady, not coaching. I can't wait to see Brady fall on his face in Tampa.

AJ's agent probably gave him a study list for the combine with every Head Coach, DC, & D-line Coach to memorize. That's almost 100 names alone, and would be hard enough to do. He needs to know enough for an 18 minute interview with each. Unless it's common knowledge, their league history with other teams is too much info to have to know for that setting. I'm sure once certain teams started showing interest, he studied deeper on their history, coaches, & front office before talking to them again.

I don't think I'd trade our DB group for any other in the league.

There's no doubt Moulds is the most physically dominant WR we've ever had, but Reed obviously had a far superior career. I still have an old white Champion Moulds jersey collecting dust in my closet, complete with an orange stain between the numbers from Anchor Bar wings.

Reggie Bush?

I'm not sure how the contracts/cap works with trades, but I'd assume they'll try to trade for Dalton & regotiate his contract. I'm sure Dalton would jump at the chance to start for $10M vs sit & watch a rookie for $18M.

That video is a year & a half old too, his leg may be even stronger now.

The 58 yarder from Sr Bowl practices that hit halway up the uprights had a really low trajectory, and that was vs a defense. I think he can adjust for the wind.

Wow, he was pretty impressive in this game. He did allow a sack & a few pressures vs Chase Young, but that's an elite pass rusher who is as fast as just about any DE in the NFL. If Adams can get a little quicker, he can certainly be a starting-caliber OT in the NFL.

Who backs up the Slot if Beasley goes down? Maybe Brown could do it, and put Gabe Davis outside. But if Hodgins isn't ready, that helps McKenzie stay around.

That's laser-timed, you can see the set-up. The guy is holding the readout, not a stopwatch. Shows the 10-yard split too.
