    Not sure if anyone's pasted this link yet (paywalled, but, you know ...)

    Best explanation I've seen. But I still don't have it down.

    Agreed. The standard kick returner - pure speed guy - won't be the best fit under the new rule. As the article notes, field vision, quickness, improvisation will be key.

    And as for kickers: the classic "big leg" guy who gets the highest touchback percentage will lose some value, although long field goals are still important. Some team will find a soccer player, Aussie rules football guy, someone else to be the "kickoff specialist" (maybe the kickoff/punter dual role will come back) who is adept at placing the ball in the optimal spot.

     

    I'm all for making the game more interesting. Goodbye to the post-TD bathroom/fridge run ...

    I think this will make the post TD bathroom/fridge run more commonplace.

  2. I like the Mitchell pick to the Bills, at least he hasn't shrunk two inches like Franklin and Legette.

     

    I see a lot of people that want Newton @28 but the Bills are already paying Oliver as the 3tech and drafting another 3tech in the first to play maybe 1/3 of snaps probably isn't the best idea. I think Newton will be long gone before #28 anyways.

  3. He needs to visit here on one of those 30 visit things ... He then needs to be in on being arrested by the BPD on bogus charges, maybe something unsavory on Chippewa. Just enough to scare everyone other than the Bills off him. After being drafted by the Bills the charges would be dropped.

     

    In reality we'd pass on him for a pass rusher while he has a HOF career in Kansas City.

  4. Josh will be Josh and run him over like he would anyone else, but it being Poyer, he'll help him up, they'll pat each others butts and head back to their respective huddles.

  5. I understand the reason they cut Morse but I'm not sure of the reasoning for making more changes on the O-Line. Last year McGovern came in and played really well at LG and Dawkins had one of his better seasons playing next to him. By moving McGovern you're making two changes on the line.

     

    The way I see it @ Center ...  Morse > McGovern and @ LG ... McGovern > Edwards ... To me that's weakening two positions on the line when a young "Creed Humphrey" type is available to plug and play and be Josh Allen's Center the rest of his career.

     

    When was the last time McGovern played Center ? ... I thought the Cowboys experimented with him there but ended up leaving him at Guard.

     

    I believe Edwards has played some Center as well and could fill in until a (Frazier or Van Pran in round 2) is ready to go and leave McGovern where he played so well last season, but the coaches see them everyday and I'm just a fan sitting at home on a message board.

     

    On any given play there's only one football but there are 5 guys on the line blocking for your QB.

  6. Diggs

    Kincaid

    Shakir - Josh built up confidence in him last year

    Cook - Will be used more in the passing game

    Samuel

    Rookie - Depends on who it is, could be on the top of this list, right here or on the bottom.

    Knox

    Hollins - Does he return punts or kicks ? 

    Shorter - Has good size, hoping he develops
