I watched Davis several times this season. I like him alot. He'll be a good fit with Cook.

Explaining in a little more detail where my mind was when I said that...
We carried 9 OL on the 53 last year:
- Dawkins, Dion
- Brown, Spencer
- Torrence, O'Cyrus
- McGovern, Connor
-
Morse, Mitch -
Bates, Ryan - Edwards, David
- Anderson, Alec
- Van Demark, Ryan
This year 7/9 OL are returning:
Locks (5)
- Dawkins, Dion
- Brown, Spencer
- Torrence, O'Cyrus
- McGovern, Connor
- Edwards, David
This is our presumed starting 5 OL. The only thing that could change is McGovern moving back to LG and Edwards moving back to a reserve role.
High Probability to Make Roster (2)
- Van Demark, Ryan
- Anderson, Alec
These guys are REALLY close to being locks in my opinion.
The Bills signed Alec Anderson as an UDFA, and he spent all of 2022 on the practice squad and the entire 2023 season on the 53. Van Demark was a Colts UDFA in 2022 but like Anderson spent 2022 on our practice squad and all of 2023 on our 53.
The Bills have invested a lot of time/resources into developing both players and I think they clearly have a leg up on the competition.
New Veterans (3)
- Collins, La'el
- Clapp, Will
- Doyle, Tommy*
Collins has some guarantees, but I don't think he's a guarantee to make the roster, although that likely gives him a leg up. I don't think Clapp has a chance to make the roster unless there is an injury at the C position. Tommy Doyle fits here because he's coming off injury, but made the roster in 2021 and 2022, likely would've made it in 2023 before a season ending injury - he's fighting an uphill battle.
Drafted Rookies (3)
- Van Pran-Granger, Sedrick
- Grable, Tylan
- Clayton, Travis
The way Beane spoke about Clayton after the draft, it seems like they've banking on him being the 17th guy on the Practice Squad. My gut tells me that Van Pran-Granger is nearly a lock for the reserve C role (I think this is possible with McGovern and Edwards being able to play G) and pundits seem to think he could end up starting for us this year. Grable is competing for a reserve T role with the likes of Collins, Doyle and Van Demark, if not he's likely another hopeful Practice Squad stash for Beane.
After walking through it I feel pretty comfortable saying we can predict who 8/9 lineman will be on the 53.
- Dawkins, Dion
- Brown, Spencer
- Torrence, O'Cyrus
- McGovern, Connor
- Edwards, David
- Anderson, Alec
- Van Demark, Ryan
- Van Pran-Granger, Sedrick
That leaves Collins, Clapp, Doyle, Grable, Clayton, Edwards, Britton and Bills competing for 1 spot.
Jordan Schultz suggested that Keaton Bills *SHOULD* make this team. I just think that it's going to be an uphill battle for any of the UDFA to break camp on the 53.
I think Collins makes the original 53 with your other 8

Defense needed a guy like this. Love the pick!

Josh wanted him, I'm good with it

Sign Clowney as a mercenary for a year.
Personally, I feel that Groooot hasn't been given enough snaps to be as effective as he can be.
He lags around 60% of snaps and he's been productive with what he's been asked to do.
If they unleash him, he will start to put up the numbers people are looking for.
Also, Miller will be looking to earn back some of his money this year and will play better, more like his old self, as a result.

Athletes should not and are not on a whole role models. Sort of the opposite of what I would want my kids(now adults) to have looked at as role models.
I agree, but sadly they are looked upon as role models for plenty of today's youth.
I won't get into the reasons why.
The NFL doesn't even acknowledge that some of their players are not held accountable for their actions and instead are celebrated for what they can do on a football field.
It's an NFL problem in my opinion. One that needs to be fixed.

I like this and the versatility it provides them

The domestic calls are piling up on this man.
Is he an unfair target or an easy target?
Seriously have to wonder how much longer the NFL can promote and support this man.
Not saying he should or will be suspended and or kicked out of the league eventually, but...
I have to wonder when the NFL just pumps the brakes on the features and constant ball washing by alot of their analysts on every network of this guy.
He's not the role model you want to promote NFL?
Is he?

New coaches. I'm optimistic.

Whether true or not, I suppose time will tell, trouble seems to follow this guy everywhere he goes.

Can't be worse than the current configuration.

Honestly once Allen retires and the bills suck again I think they could have a very hard time selling out the stadium.
Buffalo is too small of a market to support a bad team with high prices.
Yes they sold out games during the drought years. But tickets were dirt cheap and people treated it like a party.
Tickets will be much more expensive now. Plus the at home viewing experience is much better, and I think people are less willing to sit in garbage weather nowadays.
Thanks Jurrah.
Jerry Jones forced this on Pegula and Pegs just rolled over for belly scratches.
Now the average fan will be forced out by the prices.
A buddy of mine, RIP Zach, was a 30 year season ticket holder and would have been one of the many who won't be able to afford them for the new place.

Coaches should have input on players because they have to fit into their system.
Something something dinner something something groceries.

I love Cook. The inconsistent hands need to get better.
I'd sign Derrick Henry in a heartbeat (for 1 season) if given a chance though.

Did we do enough at wide receiver?
in The Stadium Wall

Don't sleep on King Khalil Shakir.
The guy doesn't drop balls, gets open and is a RAC master.
With the group they have I can see alot of quick passes to get guys moving in space with alot of RAC.
