  1. Milano is super-instinctive. His 40 time at combine (like 4.67) was a product of injury, he is one of the faster backers in the whole league and a converted safety. He is one of my favorites, but we can't expect too much from the kid yet. I know he works at the sport like an animal. A year in the strength and conditioning program will really help him avoid the wash. He is already, however, elite in coverage and a playmaker. Potential is there. I don't watch much college so I am concerned about the posts immediately above saying Edmunds is not so great in coverage. I had heard he is quite good. I have also heard he is a fanatical worker like Milano (seems we have a lot of those). If he can match Milano's coverage skills we will have a pair of elite coverage linebackers when we are in the two linebacker sub package. And if Star, Harry, and Kyle can keep Edmunds and Milano clean they can both really fly to the ball like few other NFL pairs (with Edmunds having some tremendous power). Having said that, calling them Kuechly and Davis may be a bit much to ask at this stage. In two years though, who knows!
  2. Agree. And Vontae Davis is a really important pick up too.
  3. The degree of Rosen excuse making is unbelievable. To the extent the article or posters are suggesting NFL Execs, whose living depends on wins and losses, really based their decisions on a "narrative" they did not investigate first hand - that is absurd. Teams dig deep on these guys. Sure, some of it is a feeling. But the are feelings based on in-person meetings and extensive background checks. Highsmith probably regarded the volleyball story as an incident he could share risklessly. That does not mean it is all Cleveland had. More likely their view was like that of a lot of other teams. A view something like this: According to Scott Davis of Business Insider, there is at least one team concerned that his personality will cause internal issues with the Arizona Cardinals, comparing him to two former quarterbacks who did so. Very glad this guys is not our problem.
  4. I liked him for us, and these fumbles mean nothing longer term, but it is kind of funny. And he does have those teeny-weeny, clutching, clawing, little dwarf fingers. Hope he has a great career (unlike that wanker Rosen}, except when he plays us. Allen's hands on the other hand - like giant eagle's wings enveloping the football.
  5. The throws are insane, and often the guy isn't open very much. Allen beats the DB by a foot or two from 50 yards away while rolling away from pressure. Then, ZIP, the ball is in the receivers hands and the DB is all like "whah?" Just sick. Highlights, I know. Still sick.
  6. Put "Josh Rosen" In Google, then limit it to the past week. Some pretty choice stuff making me very happy with our choice.
  7. Anyone else notice that across all of those TDs there was maybe 50 yards or so of total RAC. Darts into the end zone.
  8. Good luck with the corners, except vs us of course!
  9. Weren't they celebrating Caleb's bday? I kind of suspected Zay might have got some stuff he should not have from Caleb and didn't handle it well. Maybe synthetic pot? Let's hope Zay is clean and scared straight.
  10. Go Bills. #BillsMafiaUnited
  11. Would have been great to have him. Thanks for sharing the info. And nice Kelly pic.
  12. I agree. I think it is the level of disrespect for others opinions that has the OP and others bothered, not the fact of them. I too get sucked in. I am really excited about Allen, and I respect your right to have wanted Rosen. However, the level of toxicity directed for Allen is totally unwarranted. Every time someone posts "garbage pick" about Allen, I feel compelled to defend him with a staunch "Rosen is a wanker and will be terrible." T here are of course substantive reasons why I don't like Rosen and why others don't like Allen. But those are not complicated and have all been trotted out numerous times by both sides. Now it is just foul spew - which is why I called this thread a dumpster fire earlier. Rosen may be better. Allen may be better. Only time will tell. For sure, Allen is the Buffalo Bill, not Rosen. Time to get over it and move on. Definitely my last post in any of these QB threads (which I suppose will please the Rosen side and perhaps more), but it has become tiresome and just mean spirited.
  13. Rosen is going to be terrible. Gimme another used tire to toss on this dumpster fire of a conversation.
  14. The fact that he was twice concussed matters. The fact that scouts say he holds the ball too long when pressured and takes unnecessary hits matters. All things considered we took the better QB. Allen is not accurate is fake news.
  15. Some say it was because he is Jewish. I think it is because he is Jerk-ish.
  16. Rosen: 1. Holds ball; 2. Thinly built; 3. Twice concussed; 4. Self-centered, self-important attitude that will make it difficult for him to lead.
  17. I agree with this - can't believe we got Edmunds, and the level of negativity on the board can be astounding. Having said that, please don't pick on Brandon Reilly! Has a chance to be quite good. Not just a no talent high motor lunch bucket guy.
  18. Should have flamed him. That's some crazy take. ****LONG POST, but worth it, (i think)**** Not remotely
  19. Says you - knowing zip. I don't really care about your opinion either so we are even. Off to a late dinner. Enjoy your evening.
  20. Well so now you know it is not Google. So like I said, time will tell. Be as negative as you want. Save my post and throw it back at me if you get the chance. And I will do the same with yours.
  21. Snide remarks are not productive. Time will tell my friend. Post this back to me if I am wrong. And you know how to quote only part of a post -
  22. If fairness, you know nothing about Brandon Reilly. Which of course begs the question - do I know anything about him? Yes, I do. I know what his teammates think of him from first hand information. If you get the chance to ask one of them, do so. I think you will hear the same things I have said.
  23. Wait until the preseason games. Watch the man play. If you do, you won't forget him so easy
