  1. I’ll give the kid credit.  Played four years for a small school, UDFA invited to a pro camp.   Spent a few weeks here, saw the commitment it would take and decided it wasn’t for him.  Got a free degree, has his health, and his whole life in front of him.

  2. Vitamins or supplements kinda up to you.  Seeing your Doc once a year with blood work is huge.  Guys, make sure you request a PSA test as well.  I would bet that us old folks know someone who is alive because of early detection.  And we probably knew someone who didn’t see a Doc and they’re gone.  Early detection saves lives.

  3. So my question is what is the disconnect and can it be fixed?  We had plenty of guns, kept them in our trucks.  We took them to school so we could hunt before and after.   I posted above that I can’t blame social networking directly for this.  But does anyone have any idea as to what changed over the last 10-15 years to push so many people to this?

  4. I believe that banning assault rifles would be great but that’s easier said than done.   When I was in high school in the Southern Tier 40+ years ago we would go hunting before school and have shotguns on racks in the cabs of our trucks.  You could see them in the back windows.   There’s more to this than access to guns.   Teen suicide, depression, and behavioral issues are all way up.   I don’t know the answer and I don’t see us getting close to one.

  5. I wear a Fitbit (sort of smart) watch.  Last year we were hiking around the Nevada / Utah border and with the different time zones and Native American territories the time on your watch or phone could change when you crossed the street.  Lots of watches there and I’ll have one with me if I get back.

  6. With the drafting of two 220+ LB’s that can fly with good/great instincts I wonder if McBeane are looking at changing what we do.  Edmonds has the physical attributes but no feel for the game.   What if we could throw two or three Milano’s on the field at the same time?  Perhaps the days of 250 lb thumpers is over.

  7. I admit that I’m no expert on line play but the Bills have invested in young lineman.  Brown, Doyle, Ike, and Rick are all younger guys.  They also drafted Anderson who they lost to the Eagles off of the PS last year.  (Not even counting Ford)

     

    Maybe Kromer saw something in the kid they just drafted that he can work with.  Young lineman take time and Josh covers up problems.  At this point I’m not too worried,  I expect they’ll be better this year.  Compared to what they’ve put on the field in the past we’re okay 👍.

  8.    I’ll preface this with I’m a white guy.   This seems similar to the Rooney rule in that the league is is exposing minorities to upper level positions without giving them a real shot at success.

       From the outside it looks like a big part of these promotions is based on who you know.

       I think the league should be encouraging minority (and female) hiring at the entry level positions; QC, RB, LB, OL, DL, whatever.  Same for the administrative side.

       Get these folks into the system to learn but more importantly, to network and start building relationships.

       As people prove their abilities and make a name for themselves they’ll move up.   It won’t happen fast but the right thing rarely does.
