fergie's ire

Nah...He's from Chicago, but he's a Lion now.

I seem to recall from Von Miller's salary that bonuses only count on this year's cap if they are below the projected total...but if above then it counts against next year (if they reach it). The projection is based on last year's performance. So, since Von was injured the year before, he was only projected to have like 2 sacks last year. Therefore, the bonuses he received for sacks more than that count this year.

I saw some tape of the Sr. Bowl where he was using power and not just standing upright. My hope is that he'll be the Josh of the defense. If you remember, Josh had tremendous arm talent but his footwork was a huge concern, however. At the Sr. Bowl, the tape showed he'd made big improvements in footwork...He wasn't there yet, but you started to see that progress. If Walker can stay healthy and improve his mechanics, he could be a monster.

What I find interesting is that they have really found a way to make the DL 12 players deep, particularly if these rookies are good. I think the suspensions really help them because they have so many good, or at least potentially good, DL. As I understand it, the two suspended DLs won't count against the final 53 to start the season. So, if they can get 10 good DL out of the group they have, they will all make the roster. After 6 weeks, there's a good chance a DL or two will be hurt. They can move two to IR for return and activate the suspended. Keep the two injured on IR for 5 or 6 weeks and then find two more who need a break. Even if they aren't legitimately injured, but just dinged up, some could use the rest to get back to 100%. If Daquan, for example, shows improvement and makes the team, he is still older, so it might be good to give him a long rest in the middle of the year. They can essentially have a roster rotation that will keep them fully stocked and healthy going into the playoffs.

What is Tua going to say if we line up a DL Landon Jackson, Walker, Ogunjobi, and Rousseau. That's a lineup of height that's 6'6", 6'7", 6'3", and 6'6". He'll never see his receivers.

Agreed. And we used to run into disagreements a lot early in Josh's career because I also think you need to define what you meant by "deep ball." Josh will throw it 40/50 yards on a line because his arm is so strong and he is great at those. He makes throws nobody else can make, but what I think we are talking about here are those rainbow throws that Russell Wilson is so good at.

Like the Dolphins did with Jordan Phillips? Smart

I would say neither. Running backs have such a short career, generally, that I don't blame anyone to try and get the maximum they can RIGHT NOW. However, that's the reason you don't pay running backs a ton of money. There are some running backs that last (like Travis Henry) but they are rare and the back that, to my eyes, seemed the most likely to be sustainably great was Ezekial Elliot and you saw how that contract extension worked out. I think Cook will go elsewhere to maximize his payday and the Bills will let him....and that's okay.

Remember the topic of discussion: ridiculous click bait.

Yes, and I find it interesting that in many ways he seems like the anti-Kaiir. Kaiir was very sticky and physical. The concerns were that sticky was actually grabby and that if he didn't lock on he wouldn't be able to close. (Valid concerns as it turns out.)

Yes, and if he does win the starting job but Bills need a big corner situationally, they can always sub in Tre because he's...let me see...oh wait... nevermind.

You're forgetting someone. Don't you remember that SUPERstar slot receiver who left and signed with the Colts? It was Isaiah McKenzie, of course.

Nope. Anybody else have a guess?

I saw one of those today that said a former Bills "Superstar" receiver wants to return to the team. Care to guess who this "superstar" is?

I never have confidence in a QBs talent until they have at LEAST 2 years starting. Need to see how they respond to defensive adjustments. Daniel Jones looked great out of the gate. Carson Wentz was almost MVP early in his career. Even with Caleb, I need to see more.

Vague title....had to click on it to see if he was fathering babies, getting into confrontation with cops, demanding a trade....or this. So many things he could be at again.

Kirby Jackson?

I think it's stupid that the replay official can't throw a flag. I thought the big push for the change came from facemask calls that weren't made.

Maybe they could sign Tre, Dane, AND Stephon....put the band back together.

Candlesticks always make a nice gift.

Yeah, certainly looked better than that linebacker we drafted in the 3rd a couple years before him. That guy was undersized and completely lost his rookie year. Whatever happened to him?

I've seen others post this and it's not what they did. They would actually hop Cook so that he would run away from Parsons. Josh would continue to roll out the other way and Parsons would chase him. The Bills were going after an undersized back opposite Parsons. I forget his name.

Last year it would have been in the middle of OTAs about 2 weeks before minicamp. So....honeymoon in Orchard Park?

The sad thing is I think things have gotten better. I believe it was just before the Marvin Lewis years, there were reports that Bengals coaches were flying to college games to scout on Saturday and then flying back to coach the game on Sunday.

Do you remember Cook's rookie year? Not only did he do a fair amount of dancing but he also couldn't catch until this year.
