Edmunds & Milano = Our Kuechly & Davis
MarlinTheMagician replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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! -
Are you a fan of Josh Allen?
MarlinTheMagician replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Allen #1!!!! -
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.

Darnold fumbles first snap
MarlinTheMagician replied to Bray Wyatt's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Every Josh Allen TD pass in 2016/2017
MarlinTheMagician replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -

MarlinTheMagician replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Anyone else notice that across all of those TDs there was maybe 50 yards or so of total RAC. Darts into the end zone. -
Congrats on a great draft!
MarlinTheMagician replied to Ice bowl 67's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good luck with the corners, except vs us of course! -

Go Bills. #BillsMafiaUnited -
Beane just said guy was falling that he wanted

Would have been great to have him. Thanks for sharing the info. And nice Kelly pic. -
Annoyed at the negativity
MarlinTheMagician replied to PrimeTime101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -

Rosen is going to be terrible. Gimme another used tire to toss on this dumpster fire of a conversation. -
Opinions on why we passed on Rosen?
MarlinTheMagician replied to Klaista2k's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -

MarlinTheMagician replied to Klaista2k's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Some say it was because he is Jewish. I think it is because he is Jerk-ish. -

MarlinTheMagician replied to Klaista2k's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
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.

EXACTLY why I think Beane blew the '18 draft. -Rd. 1
MarlinTheMagician replied to #34fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Should have flamed him. That's some crazy take. ****LONG POST, but worth it, (i think)**** Not remotely
