I'm glad the Browns chose wrong.

Probably? Probably would have cost a heck of a lot more than both 1st's and a second to ask them to slide to 12 vs 6. When you say probably - are you thinking one of our firsts and a second?

I bet he could still do a little something but no one is signing him.

You're right. We increased his workload in the rush game and passing game. He didn't slow down last year. I'm not sure you quite understand what Beane has orchestrated with our cap. Money will not be the reason. If Shady doesn't significantly get injured or dramatically slow down - he'll be back.

He's been a massively productive player in the rush and pass game. He's also been available. I'd expect him to be back next year with a draft pick spent on his eventual replacement. Barring a drop off in production or injury, I could easily see him get another 1 possibly 2 year extension.

Good grief!

People forget a long interception can be as effective as a punt. Might as well go for the big play.

Awesome and very funny. Can't but help but smile watching him laugh.

This may have been mentioned as I didn't read through each page. I loved when he would turn and back peddle for another 3-4 yards. He was an awfully creative runner that was durable and did so many things.

Cutler is one of the best QB's throwing on the run statistically the last 30 years. Go look it up. I think he could help Allen.

Many great teams are hated during their run - then often years later are talked about with respect, even by some that hated them during the run. I believe the Patriots will be the first team that even years and decades after will not be talked about in the same way. The media adores them but I don't think fans will ever come around to talking about them in a positive way.

The unit looks promising for sure. However, even as good as they played last year, we gave up a good amount of passing yards and points. The turnover differential was the difference. To make the secondary most successful - the pass rush has to improve.

Our secondary played pretty well last year. We had an excellent turnover ratio. Our LB's, IMO, overachieved and did a decent job. Our pass rush, yds allowed and pass rush was not good. They are making a concerted effort to improve the run defense and pass rush. Bring in the DE's. The pass rush is critical to a McDermott defense.

It's not a sensitive subject it's aggravating. I'm sure you've heard the adage - film doesn't lie? Yes it does.

Yeah the QB the Browns drafted has no risk written all over him. Rosen isn't the most pro ready - stop believing what people say. "most bust potential" - what a load of garbage You've concluded he needs to sit most of the year, huh? So when do you think he'll be ready? Is it one game past the half way point? What do you need to see from him in practice to allow him to play in a game?

That's exactly what I'm saying. I'm also disputing that screenshots of a QB's feet determine if he'll be successful or what he needs to work on before he can play. It's between the ears and what you're capable of seeing. It's impossible to predict or break down. In order to think you're correct (Cover1) you have to build the article around your prediction. Stop listening to things like the quotes below. "What I will argue is that accuracy is the premier trait in an NFL quarterback. In college, that is not always the case. However you want to cut it, Allen will need to improve his accuracy and placement if he wants to have any sort of success at the next level." "Even though Allen explains footwork and what it means to a QB’s throwing motion pretty well, the average fan may not understand it. So I want to try and show you what bad footwork looks like, how sloppy footwork will throw off the entire sequencing of a throwing motion, and how it can lead to an inaccurate throw. If you can understand those mechanics, maybe you can empathize with why the Bills took a shot on the big arm from Firebaugh."

You're exactly right. Look, I don't mean to totally dismiss mechanics and every player should continue to work on fundamentals but that's not what separates the greats.

I really dislike these articles. Not because I want to get into some argument about Allen is or isn't accurate or footwork blah blah blah. These pundits, articles, analysts, writers, etc all have something to say. They contradict each other and you know why? Because none of them know. You can screen shot all you want and so can cover1 or anyone else. They don't, we don't, and I don't know crap as it relates to which QB's will make it and which ones wont. Stop listening to these people. Stop saying it's a great read, etc. They are the one's that literally can't be accurate. They just spent more time having a faulty opinion. This whole idea that footwork can be analyzed and correlated to accuracy is a bunch of crap, and I'm being dead serious. There's multiple styles of successful QB's and they all have different footwork, arm angles, release points, height, release times, hand size, arm strength and on and on and on. They all have different coaches, WR/TE's, offensive schemes, indoor/outdoor stadiums and on and on and on. Allen either has it or he doesn't. Let's just see what he can do, shall we? There's multiple ways to do everything. There's a jump shot in the gym with no defender on you, there's a jump shot with a guy in your face, there's a time for a fade away and on and on and on. Some guys get it done at the NFL level and it's not because they set up better "hallways".

IMO, as the Bills HC he wasn't what he once was at the podium. There wasn't anything to miss. What he was with the Jets, now that was fun.

I do believe players can get better.

Very nice job/show. I'll tune in.

I think that's where I'm at on it. That's pretty good, right there.

Great topic. With summer coming, the draft is over, mini camp about to start, it's easy to forget we need a WR. So thankful you brought up these two options because Bills fans have been sleeping on these two.

You're right we don't have one but Benjamin has the ability. He's got to stay on the field, but it's in him.
