3rdand12

We don't know what Beane has offered We do know this if said offer was presented , it was not accepted. I agree with you. Also feel Beane is a straight shooter. So to me it seems Cook and his "agent" have been unreasonable. Incentives could have played a huge part to bring that # up. There must have been a fair + or workable offer on the table. My opinions

I approve of this post

Put Bosa and Rousseau on the same side for few looks lol. Bosa as the LB expand for my bolded

If Bills want to pay him , they need more from him. I cant speak to Kamara stats over the years or the Offense he has played in. But it seems Cook would fit better outside the tackles whether run or pass God Bless our O line and wr/te downfield blocking last season creating lanes btw So Is Cook a worthwhile investment for the Bills at this point

Imagine if Brady made better use of his HBs , to get solid chip on a blitz. Or help out Dion against Chris Jones lol

Not the whole scheme ! Can easily be run centric again with proper Coaching on the field and from the Booth lol. btw I expect the passing game might be a bit more focused on under Brady. Kromer proved his point about "his Boys" 👍 and the run

Because he's a pass catching RB. Actually his strength. We old guys still want that 3 down cloud of dirt and blood RB who forces missed tackles by running over sht in a loaded box

just to clarify The poster said "coming out of College " I believe could have drafted one easily this year to replace Cook after the 3rd round. You wont get the same rewards year one , but you can find players who are fast and catch the ball out of the backfield readily. Fit the scheme is the trick I am really not sold on that Davis , who is nothing like Cook and Ty (luvya ) would be able to present the same offense matchups Surprised they didnt draft one in sincerity ! Who could replace that speed after catch and balance

and make him the 3rd down back day one lol I will worry for both of us then 😉

You covered a lot of ground again here . I struggle evaluating current players by draft pick. I do watch whom Beanes picks to fill the needs. Immediate need , is my #1 measure to be critical of. The bolded finished my though. Bills really needed a 1A and we very possibly could have acquired if passionate enough. As out BADOL suggests. Bills must thought they had a guy in their sights I suggest in another post that I am hopeful. But 1B is his ceiling

I am all about this guy coming back focused and better conditioned for full NFL season. More focused on how he can avoid the abuse he took when teams wanted to shut him down early. Fix his mind over matter. Smoother with his get offs from the block and extend his arms with purpose to pull the ball down while being wrastled by Dbs ha ha Keon has a purty good sized upside imho. 1b perhaps

Good point about Josh on the deeper throws. He has the arm to throw a bullet 50 yards and knows it But struggles to lead his receiver open still , on the long ball at least. Maybe he is surprised when a player breaks into open field and he has time in the pocket lol and gets giddy 😇

I myself and not looking to cast blame anywhere. Not my thing. Always , what could we have done better. Realistically I am sure players and Coaches looked at a few plays late last year with similar thoughts at least some of your players are going to beat or broken down within their assignment each play. So each player needs an option or 3 to compensate Josh know Dion like brother. When he saw Jones was going to mess him up lol They both might have had a teachable moment 🙂

And the If ^ makes even more intriguing

I have to ask, What could Josh have done better ? I have not watched the play again I just cant blame the fail just on Jones getting that pressure over Dion. Being a team game . Everyone is always adjusting as the play unfolds, and quickly as possible. No one player wins every play Could Josh have compensated in the moment ? Half step back or left. Seen it quicker and floated the ball to him to go get ? thoughts

If i set this post aside as a stand alone summation instead of a retort, I really like this post MS. Get off the stats machine and isolate playoff games and some key division games and I would like to agree to The bolded The defense does not finish out drives well in enough of the key moments late season. When it really really matters. I expect the Coaching is well aware So we need plenty of Josh And a Defense that has another level when the pressure it at it's peak Go Bills

Hang in there Pops ! We need ya 👍😇 Go Bills ! Our friend (Gugny) here does on occasion , like to stir the sauce.

This is a great counterpoint. Rookie contracts have limitations. And the Team has most all the leverage. Absolutely And as I mentioned at some point , its certainly expected that a player wants his new/ next contract to reflect his self worth. We have some more experts here who might chime in on injury guarantees on a rookie deal ?? But that sure aint me. I just gots opinions 😋

Yes . but i got a great reaction didn't it 😋

I like the concept ! But The bolded somewhat discounts your Forrest leanings lol But yes . Mc D would would be delighted to run that back. and with that much solid depth behind it. Package options etc

and right to the heart of the matter. He signed. Maybe ask his agent lol For all the folks who defend the player. They signed the contract. period And yes they certainly should play hard for a much better contract. and then sign that. It's a business This is the year to show for James. Go Bills

Its fine to ask for the World. And he should honestly. Always start the bidding high lol But he put it in the public sphere ( disrespectful business ) He took his Bills thingie down which players do when they want Out ! Which he shouldn't. IMHO i feel he should have talked to Beanes and done the secret handshake thing I perform well this season you guys pay me You perform and you will get paid. ( maybe not in Buffalo ) but it is the truth. Show me how invested you are. This is juvenile on Cooks part Thats just the Finance guys. The Team wants him to be all in.

Didn't they just reorganize that group ? Health and nutrition too Hopefully when they get to St John for Camp Bills get spoiled again with good food and add some mass to the muscle. Chicken Parm hoagies all around !

That might be more true than folks and Kincaid would care to admit

Thanks Logic Nice to have a more informed perspective from someone "vested" lol But yea. Helpful insight. He might be a a wussy
