does he even give a ****?
History shows that he does not.
Caption this
They definitely just grabbed that polo out of a box in the back of the merchandise room.
Favorite caption from twitter:
When you're at the in-laws and the edibles kick in.......

No its not a stretch.
However information came out explaining.....dont you think its important (given the player) to find out whats going on?
By all accounts the foot is healed.
It'd have been much better if the OP had simply stated what he saw and left it at that. He made inferences that he didn't need to. But I was responding to your complaint that Watkins didn't even hurt his oft injured foot again. My point was that was a silly complaint because there was no way someone watching camp could tell the difference between a right ankle and right foot injury to him and that it wasn't a big stretch to think it was his right foot .
As for the reports regarding health of his foot, we've been told it was 100% before and it wasn't and we've been told it was fully healed only to see him hurt it again. It's early. I'm hoping for the best this time, but I'm far from comfortable with the situation. As time goes on and he stays healthy my expectations will improve. I just need some proof.

Except it wasnt his surgically repaired foot?
Dude. He rolled his right ankle. He's had six injuries to his right foot. It is not a stretch to think it's his right foot when someone sees that he is limping and favoring his right side from a right ankle injury.

He's a guy that I've always irrationally liked more than I should so I'm all for it.
I love this post.
Do they have an ancestor who was an archeologist back in the 1930s?
Yeah, but you won't believe what these two guys - Lucas and Spielberg- did to him. It was horrific.
-
I gotta say: God forbid Taylor goes down. The Bills have nothing behind him.
Do I currently miss EJ? Compared to what they have now? Yes.
I can't imagine what you're basing that on. I'd much rather have what we have now.
-
So EJ is saying that he was kept from developing here because he was a back up, but that he's all set to finally develop as a backup for the Raiders? That tells you all you need to know about EJ.

Only 3 RBs had 60 or more catches last season. That's a tall order. And RBs with a high number of catches is more indicative of a passing team than a running one.A staple of the Dennsion offense is the Texas concept.
The concept of this route tree is to have your tight end inline and have him push vertically up the seam while the HB runs a short angle route underneath him in the unoccupied space.
Charles clay and McCoy are the perfect TE / HB combination for this concept and it will wreck opposing defenses this season. It is basically an addition to the run game as it is a quick rythem play designed to get the ball into playmakers hands as soon as possible
The diagram below runs it with an out but the concept is the same
Shady can easily have 60+ catches https://www.buffalorumblings.com/platform/amp/2017/7/31/16071632/buffalo-bills-offensive-coordinator-rick-dennisons-playbook-texas-passing-tyrod-taylor

No. Getting rid of him in any way now will cost money against both the 2017 and 2018 cap. Silly.

The cap implications of a trade are pretty minimal - a total of an extra $500k cap hit over 2017 & 2018 if he was traded this season. That's small enough that it wouldn't prevent the team from trading him if they didn't think he was a fit here. That said, I doubt it happens.
-
Willing to bet any amount of money there are people who will say he only did good in a contract year. That you can't go by this season and will no want to give him a big payday.
That being said, I think if Sammy blows the top off and has a monster year, you work on a higher paying deal with incentives and some term... if not franchise tag him and make him do it again for a second year.
That's exactly what I'd do too. No way do I give him the contract and guarantees he's going to demand if he has a monster year - at least not until I see that it wasn't a fluke.
-
In other news, I also would like to be the highest paid player in the NFL. However that is not my expectation.
-
Sounds like someone is in a contract year. Please note that this isn't snark, it's just how business is done in the NFL. Sammy's agent is doing his job by telling Sammy that this year will be the most important of his career from a career earnings standpoint and that he needs to be completely focused on his performance. His standard talking points are: you're focused on having a great season, you're healthy, you love it where you are and you're not worried about anything contract-related, you're letting that all work itself out.
There's nothing wrong with any of that and it just might get us a great season from Sammy. Just don't read more into it than that.

Ok I know there are a lot of people that love him, I also know there are a lot that want him gone. However I figured I would start a thread to see what does he have to improve in your eyes to stick with the Bills at the end of the season. I know there are some that will think there is virtually nothing he can do, but there are some that are still on the fence with him. So lets say from him as a player what do you need to see for him to stick around.
I am not talking about excuses like well if Sammy stays healthy or stuff like that, I would like my QB to be effective with whoever is on the field.
Some of mine are:
Better anticipation on his throws, this is one reason why there is not a lot of YAC from these WRs, his throws tend to be late. This also hurts him with my third area I would like for him to improve on.
Obviously using the middle of the field, In this offense Clay has a chance to shine like all Owen Daniels (Clay is much more talented) has.
I would like for him to be much more effective against Man Coverage. Over the last two seasons, Taylor averages 9.3 yards per attempt against zone defenses (best), but only 7.1 yards per attempt against man coverage (fifth-worst).
That's a pretty good list. I'd add major improvement in accuracy. He does well with the deep sideline pass, but that's about it. Improvement with accuracy has to go hand in hand with improvement in his anticipation as one is not much good without the other.
-
Cardale is/was highly talented, but terribly raw. If he wasn't developing - and there has been no sign or reliable inside information that he was - then that's that. I've got no problem with them cutting him loose and maybe getting a draft pick. I won't bash the pick because rolling the dice on Day 3 on a QB with his skill set is reasonable.
-
i think the league still needs to help bad teams become good. weighted lotto is the way to go imo. sort of prevents tanking, but helps bad teams become good (good for competitive balance).
I'd be good with a weighted lotto, but the downside is that so many fans will distrust it. Every time a big market or other favored team beats the odds for a top pick fans will lose their s$&t. Still, if fairly executed, it'd be the best way to go.
-
The Bills prediction seems to be a function of the writer's high opinion of the AFCW and NFCS, the worst team in each being 7-9. The Bills, being an afterthought, get whatever record makes that happen. It is what it is until we change things by winning. Hopefully that's on the horizon.

I think they are just ready to move on from him.....to many issues and while he is quite the athlete for his size he is not a "football player'
I think Dawkins is gonna take that RT spot
I agree on both. Glenn at LT, Dawkins at RT (probably to start the season, but definitely at some point) and Mills as backup. Either one of the youngsters makes it on the roster or the team finds another tackle after cut down day and a young player goes to the PS. I see Henderson getting cut when he comes back from suspension barring a slew of injuries at OT. At some point the team has to move on from players that can't be counted on.
-
Marino, Kelly, Tarkenton, Rivers, Fouts, Kosar, Luck......the list goes on and on.....

I agree wholeheartedly that good BBQ shouldn't need any sauce to be delicious. That's a main tenant of BBQ. Sauce can be an enjoyable supporting cast member, but should never be the star of the show or even needed.The truest statement I've read on this board.
Any BBQ that needs sauce to make it taste good is just cheap meat. Suck it, Texas and KC.
All regional BBQ has it's good and bad. Most poor examples just go too far - too sweet for KC, too vinegary for NC, etc. - but there is always some great stuff around if you know where to look or just make it yourself.

As someone who suffers from the same condition as Henderson I sympathize greatly with him. Pot is a legitimate treatment option for Crohn's, although it's not enough by itself to totally control it.
A league that pours malignant drugs into its players not allowing pot is absolute garbage.
That's all true and I absolutely support an end to marijuana testing in the NFL as well as legalizing medical marijuana. I'm also good with legalizing recreational too. But Henderson's issues with pot pre-date his Crohn's diagnosis. He had violations in college and even tested positive at the Combine. His only chance to remain in the NFL is if they stop testing or grant him an exception.
-
Reminder that Andy Reid was very successful for years in Philly, then started losing and wound up 3-13. Hopefully history repeats itself.
That'd be very nice.
-
What kind of contract did he get?
2 years, $6M including $4.5M guaranteed. Nice money for his limited career production, but SF didn't exactly break the bank in him.
-
We all know who Goodwin is as a player. At least we all do here. In SF, they will learn soon enough. Supremely fast, often injured and nowhere near a complete WR. He will beat some defenses deep enough to tantalize, but finish with 400-500 yards, a great YPC average and a poor YPT(arget) average.

Kevin Hart is terrible. Even when he tells a funny joke he immediately steps on it by explaining it to the audience. Every single time.
Amy Schumer is awful. She rips off funny comedians and ruins their jokes.

That happens more than people think.
