  1. I am down with it but... I feel it's up to what's Davis is feeling. If he more wants to stay with us and keep it going I think it would work out good. But if that's the case he'll be capped at like $12 million a szn. And if he plays really good it could get awkward if hes grossly underpaid. I feel like I'd be happy if he has a year similar to last year and goes over 1000 yard and signs a 4 year deal with us at $12 mil a year. I would do that deal right now but I feel like its gotta play out so we don't underpay him then he has a wr1 season this year.

    And none of them could have improved? None of them could have picked up anything over the course of last year to get better? Interesting. By the way these were their snap counts from last year:

     

    Dodson-276

    Spector-86

    Bernard-254

     

    Keeping in mind those were mixed with some ST snaps and not all on defense...that's impressive that you can tell their fate from such a small body of work. Wow.

    Did you watch Bernard play last year?

     

    they were mostly ST reps because he was a third round pick. He played 2 games and didn't play very good on defense. Hes too small there is no way he is playing MLB. And Spector is bigger and more explosive and from watching the games has better instincts and shedding ability.

     

    He shedded Quinton Nelson last year (week 1 preseason game) in a head on collision at full speed. Bernard could never do that.

    Wow, you gathered all this from like 4 padless practices? Impressive.

    I seen enough from these three linebackers last year to get an ideas what's gonna happen.

  4.  

     

    Spector

    Dodson

    Bernard

    Outside hire

     

    Klein- insurance

     

    I believe this is a two horse race with the definite possibility we sign somebody or Klein starts week one. I think Beane try's to unload Bernard somewhere. I'm hoping Spector wins. 

     

    Didn't see a thread for this discussion.

  5. I think the number for Davis is $11-12 mil a years. That would slot him by Jakobi Meyers, Allen Lazard, Michael Gallup, Corey Davis. I would say thats about what he is.

    I think the Bills would be thrilled to have him for a contract like that. I would be down.

    I’ve been hard on Gabe after last year.  Oh my God if he can pick it up this year.

     

     

    Joe Marino had a great piece on Gabe Davis. Basically since college he hasn't statistically been targeted much on shorter routes. The thought is it's because hes bettery at separating and stacking down field with his build up speed as opposed to quick twitch on shorter routes. IMO with the addition of Kincaid it makes him the perfect complement boundry receiver to keep the safeties high. Might never been a volume reception receiver but can get him at the right price and can be the perfect #2 boundry reciever for this offense long term.

    Still can't believe we got this dude. What a trade by Beane. Adding another elite weapon would be incredible 

    I can't believe we got him either. I had almost the same excitement reaction I had when we got Diggs. The only difference with Diggs is it was completely out of the blue the moment I learned it happened. We are stacked. Stacked Stacked Stacked!!!! We will resign Davis because he is the perfect role receiver for the right price to fit in with this group for the next 4 years.

  8. This competition with Torrence and Bates reminds me of when Jim, Toby and Gabe are interviewing Kelly for Regional Manager. And Gabe is like "Are we really doing this?"

     

    In this situation Bates is Kelly and Torrence is the VP from England. Hopefully Torrence turns out to be Dwight Schrute in the end.

    Hey everyone,

     

    I'm heading to training camp this Wednesday and Thursday with the kid and had a few questions:

     

    -How is the parking and shuttle situation?  I had zero issues with the shuttle when I went 5 years ago, but I've been told it's a lot different now.  I'm just wondering the best way to get into camp

    -I know it's a long shot, but my daughter wants to try and get a few autographs.  I've seen the videos of kids meeting players, but it seems like they are in a special section.  Is there anything I need to know in advance to put her in the best position to meet players?

    -Do they have the Bills Store setup there?  Daughter also wants to get a new hat

    -Do they have a kids play area, similar to what they had in the practice house?  I know they brought it to training camp pre-COVID, but just curious if it's still there

     

    Thank you in advance

    I took the shuttle the other day. The one I took was from Pittsford Mendon HS which is about 3.8 miles away and it goes through the village of Pittsford. WIth that being said imo it was very efficiently run. They had 3-5 shuttles deep at both the HS and SJF for just this satelite location (I believe Pittsford Southerland was the other location which is 1.8 miles away). I only waited on each bus what seemed like about 5 minutes. I did get there late and left early so that might have had something to do with it. If you can find a closeby lot on 96 and park there thats your best bet. Just have to get there probably like 20 minutes early and those lots should be open.

     

    Autographs I do not really know any strategy. You probably just have to camp there the whole time to have a shot. 

     

    I believe theres a Bills store.

     

    They have some games for kids and like a game area I would say (for kids).

    Have a goodtime!

     

    Shuttle is $1 when you get on the bus the way there and free on the way back. I gave the guy a $10 and he was able to make change.

  10. Only saw a brief bit but Spector got some first team reps when I was there. Diggs was in the backfield on one play.

     

    Seems like they aren't afraid to put playmakers in backfield that aren't just running backs. I like it.

    Elam got some first team reps too.

    Thanks...while I am not heading out there, trying to convince a buddy of mine to take his son.  The kid loves the Bills...going to a game is a bit out of their budget...in some ways I think this might be even more fun for a 9 year old. We took him to a game back in 2021...he was excited to be there, but was kinda bored by the end, and it was pouring out. 

    Yeah no problem. I'll tell you it goes by quick. I got there a little late like 10 am... literally felt like I was there 20 min. I was back in buffalo at like 1145 am ha. I would tell him to park on somebody's grass instead of taking that shuttle. 10 bucks and it saves a lot of time. 👍

    So, not to hijack this thread, because I know it is info about what happened on the practice field (I appreciate that), but can anyone who was there today tell me how accessible this is for kids? The last time I was at SJF was 2007 (Marv Levy was the GM) and it was super fan friendly, especially for kids.  They had a schedule and tents set up for specific position groups to meet with the kids.  As I recall, Xerox was out there, handing out programs, photos etc etc.  I know a lot can change in 15 years...is it still set up for the kids?  

    Np and thank you!

     

    I would say it is super accessible for kids. They have some games set up for kids and concessions. A lot of kids were there today. I think they have like a tunnel wall around where kids can line up to go get autographs over by the main field. Very kid friendly atmosphere with a lot of kid friendly amenities/attractions I would say.
