TPS

Your first guess was spot on. I don't think the others will happen though.

Sorry, but even his name suggests he's done... Pau And he plays guard.

One down.

I was wondering when someone would use this term--thanks!

Yes, I have family there. I would too, but it's also well-known for its gray skies.

Ha! He’s moving from Portland, OR, he’ll be used to it.

They are very weak at TE too.

I see your point, but I think Gilliam gives them stronger play than trying to plug an RB at FB and an OT at TE, and replace the second most snaps on STs.

Gilliam is a hybrid HB/FB. He played TE in college and came in as an UDFA at TE. He played snaps at TE when injuries forced him to last year, so he adds to the mix there if needed as a 3rd or 4th. On STs, only one other player had more snaps, Matakevich.

Yeah, they signed him after the dude from Washington reversed his decision.

No, my first mistake was not starting the post with "Take it with a grain of salt...." It's one analyst's take on trying to rank the various positions. I don't view it as gospel--there are some I agree with, and some I disagree with, as I noted.

Yeah, re-thinking it, they have two guys who have to prove themselves over full season in Davis and Lil dirty.

Except GB's WR and TE rankings are 30 and 29 respectively, so AR has even less to work with (GB is ranked 1 at QB). So maybe #2...

Sorry about that. Other position rankings not mentioned in OP for the Bills: WR = 12 (low imho) RB = 24 TE = 13 Edge = 9 LB = 8 CB = 8

ESPN posted their position rankings this morning. The Bills placed 3rd overall, with S the only #1 ranking. Of their rankings, I think they are off the most on the Bills' DTs, 19th. OL may be their most generous at 14. https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/story/_/id/34385106/nfl-position-group-rankings-2022-best-worst-units-all-32-teams-including-quarterback-wide-receiver-edge-rusher QB was ranked 4th.

He's getting some time with Josh:

The guys at Cover1 debate the Lewis v Taiwan. I lean toward the keeping Lewis over Jones.

Baldy on Elam

Baldy liked what he saw:

Like to give a little credit to @StHustle here who posted a similar response a week or so ago:

Agreed. My point was that Duke's chance probably comes down to finding a solid gunner to replace Taiwan. Given the potency of their O, I would think they put more weight on the gunner position than the return.

I think the gunner positions are going to influence several battles. Duke J was the best KO returner last night, but making the team will depend on whether or not someone other than Taiwan Jones is a viable gunner. Is there someone at another position that would make Jones expendable on coverage teams?

I had a similar thought based on Duke's KO returns. However, Jones is he's also a gunner, so Duke or someone else on the roster would need to show well at the position.

This one against the all-pro is even more impressive:

There was a lot of hype, interest and tweeting the first week or so. After that Red and Blue practice, I think everyone is ready for the next phase--preseason games.
