Kids are at school learning calculus and all sorts of other subjects that have little real world application except for teachers and a small number of fields. If instead they taught kids those kinds of lessons your parents taught you, it would benefit almost everyone as opposed to calculus which only helps a very small number of kids. There's shop, cooking classes, and all sorts of other electives. There's plenty of time to teach kids how to balance their check book, understand what credit is, and why investing for retirement early is essential. Yes, since schools are not teaching kids these types of valuable lessons, parents should. You should be thankful your parents did, because a imagine a lot don't.

Exactly. This has nothing to do with the players and everything to do with our education system. I didn't know crap about interest or savings until my mom bribed me with $100 to read a book about compound interest and then she also opened up a roth IRA for me.

That's incredible. You expect to see contradicting tweets from years, months, or even weeks apart, but not even 3 freaking hours? What an ass.

If they get pressure, definitely. Guys will get open underneath eventually, but the Bills secondary did a great job preventing long passes last year, so I'm confident he won't be slinging it downfield.

Darnold gets a meh from me so far. A lot of standing in the pocket followed by check downs. Sure, the announcer says he's impressed with his poise in the pocket, which I can see to an extent, but you think he'd find someone down the field occasionally. The only down field passes I've seen are to guys that are basically wide open. I know I'm biased, but I loved seeing Allen sling it down the field.

A single incident does not make a headcase. It was a big mistake that he's owned up to and so far it seems he's done everything he can to earn the coaches trust back. His confidence took a hit, but how can you blame him? His second NFL game he dropped a tough pass that could have been the game winner. Half of the passes throw his way were uncatchable and he had issues with drops. Of course his confidence was low and it was tough for him to get it back. He was a rookie, it happens.

I like ranch to dip the buffalo sauce covered celery in. I don't dip the wings. Is my IP banned now?

Him talking about how much the game has slowed down for him was awesome to hear. He's already a very good corner and it doesn't sound like a sophomore slump is in his future. The only WR White mentioned when they asked him about that group was Robert Foster. I thought that was interesting.

Good stuff about Coleman from this guy. For a 7th in 2020, this is a great trade. Well done Beane. It's refreshing to see a FO actually address needs. Now this is obviously might not work out, but it's worth a shot.

This. Rex was supposed to be the color analyst but by the second quarter was just a second play by play announcer. He was bringing very little to the game. I have no problem with Beth. I think Doris Burke is my favorite female announcer/analyst.

Everyone's favorite buffalonews has a bunch of good quotes too. https://buffalonews.com/2018/07/19/how-the-bills-front-office-survived-then-arrived-on-josh-allen-as-their-franchise-qb/ I'm surprised the Bills were the only team to have a private workout with Allen. I looked it up and a few sites say he had 7 meetings, but only 1 private workout. I'm not sure what conclusion to make about it, but I'm glad the Bills did their due diligence with him. From some quick google searches, I see the Bills also had private workouts with Rosen, Darnold, Falk, and Alex McGough, while having visits with Mayfield and Rudolph, and then they met Jackson and a few others at the combine. It'll be interesting to see what strides he's made in regards to his footwork when camp hits. Does he revert back to opening his front side too much on throws to the left side of the field? If he does that early in training camp, it'll be clear he shouldn't start. If it looks like he's cleaned it up, it'll be pretty encouraging. It won't mean he should start, but it'd be an early big first step for his development.

If it's an injury that someone can fully recover from, I don't have a problem with drafting a guy in the first that might miss some time. Obviously guys bust all the time that look like sure things, so I can definitely understand your side of the argument. Saying you'll do it outside of the first is fair, but for me there would still be exceptions.

That's hilariously short sighted.

That 3rd was crucial because it also allowed them to move up for Edmunds and still have a pick in the 3rd to snag Horrible Harry. Those comments by Dareus are ridiculous. I can understand being upset, but he really needs to look in the mirror. Beane could only get a conditional 6th for "one of the best players in the league." You think that would say something to him, but instead he blames Beane and/or McDermott. Where's Dareus on the top 100 players list that the players vote on? That's right, not on it. I defended Dareus a lot, but at some point you gotta grow up. I didn't like the Benjamin trade because it was late in the season and he's not really the type of WR that can flourish with Tyrod. It sounds like he's motivated this off season and he should fit better with the current group of QB's, so maybe that will turn into a better looking trade. I was iffy on the Darby trade, but the secondary didn't miss a beat, so it gets a pass.

He breaks it down a little bit more if you click on the tweet. I don't think anyone expects him to become Clowney considering Clowney is bigger and more athletic. A lot of players take time to make an impact though. With Shaq's newfound motivation, hopefully he puts it together.

Zay will make the 53 and will only be out produced by Benjamin, Clay, and Kerley. I like their extremely cautious approach with Murphy. I love the sponge comment about Allen. I can see why they liked him before the draft regardless of the completion percentage. I recently rewatched The Matrix. The sponge comment made me think of the part where neo is having all of the information implanted and dozer calls him a machine. Is Josh "The One"? I kid, but still really, really like everything I hear about Allen. He's obviously got a lot of work to do, but I can't imagine he fails due to lack of effort.

Looks like Alex Smith.

Cue the "he's selfish" crowd.

Interesting.

Good point, I missed that. I was looking for another example and saw this one. I don't miss him looking for someone else to blame. Whether it was someone else's fault or not, it just looks bad.

You're absolutely right. I'm not sure how many siblings are older or younger, regardless, he's a great example of a kid that really gets it.

White is always in control on the field. When I watch Gilmore, there are times he seems like he's just barely keeping it together while playing coverage, while White looks like he's always calm and collected. I think it's easier to get away with a little grab here and there if it doesn't look like you're using that tug to stay with a receiver. Here's an example. Gilmore makes a nice play on the ball, but at the top of the route it looks like he almost falls back and is totally out of the play. I used Gilmore as an example because it felt like he was called for illegal contact all too frequently.

Two part article by Jay Skurski going into where he came from and Shaq's motivation. http://buffalonews.com/2018/06/08/tredavious-white-reflects-on-journey-from-a-forlorn-field-in-louisiana-to-the-nfl/ http://buffalonews.com/2018/06/10/tredavious-white-bills-shreveport-lsu/ I really enjoy these pieces and reading about where players come from. A lot of them are heartbreaking because it makes you think about all the horrible things so many kids go through. I love hearing about them going back and working really hard to encourage kids to work hard in school and on the field.

He threw it after his break. No anticipation, BUST!
