    Pretty cool.   He gets another year to bulk up and follow Terry and Kim around so he'll be ready to transition into the ownership team down the line...

    He's the Bill's version of Tom Branson of Dowton Abbey - sorry, wrong board...

    The kid has played less than one season, and this was his first time getting all the reps in TC. I’ll stay relaxed, with fingers crossed. For a while.....

    Not a great night for JA, but at the same time they went run first and looks like the coach's took away the short game on purpose [not tipping hand to the Jets], forcing him to make only tight-window, intermediate throws, of which he had a few beauties.

     

    Bad pick, but if you listen to JA after the game, it almost sounds like he was thinking: it's only pre-season, I'll let it fly - I like to think there's a mature component to an otherwise awful decision.

    It's weird but I feel like watching Darnold he's already close to who he is going to be.  Like he's already close to his ceiling as a player

    Taking nothing away from Darnold, who I think will be a good NFL QB, but that first drive was no-huddle, a scripted drive down the field. Tyrod Taylor always seemed to have a great first possession - then things went downhill.    Darnold's second drive last night was decidedly mediocre.

    It was definitely mentioned on OBL by Tasker, I think. Maybe they had 'Zo on at the time? I didn't catch Tasker's citation for the observation, if it came from him personally or from talking to others. Paraphrase from memory: The Bills have some big, wide NFL bodies on the interior O-line, and Oliver has had some difficulty getting around them at times.

     

    That's where I heard "this talk" earlier today...

    A number of media types have commented on this. They have all also commented on the fact that Oliver's speed/athleticism game won't really come into play until the pads come on. And, that he is a rookie at his second practice of the pre-season...

  5. I heard the Cosell interview - consistently one of the best guests on One Bills Drive - I thought his breakdown of Allen was uncharacteristically sloppy in that he did not discuss Allen's progress during the year, culminating in the week 17 game. The analysis of Allen's short-comings seemed focused on the first half of the season - nor was he challenged on this point by Murphy. I have at other times heard Cosell much more complimentary about Allen and I would guess that - if pressed - Cosell would  say that Allen roughly equals Darnold at this point, obviously with different skill-sets.

    He wont make the team... too many WRs in front of him and the last two spots at WR will be special teams. 

    So, what about Duke Williams makes him any more or less likely to be able to play special teams?

     

    Serious question. Patrick DiMarco, e.g., has apparently sucked up a roster spot for years based on special teams ability, but what does he [or Tasker, back in the day] do that Duke Williams couldn't be taught to do?

    Yeah, maybe ... there's an awful lot of groupthink going on with the reporters, from what I've seen at training camp. As a rule, they hang out together in a big pack and reinforce each others opinion. Joe B and Sal C tend to stand apart - one of the reasons their takes are more credible to me.

    Went to the App and rewound. You’re right, it can’t be linked. Pat Kirwin is my favorite nfl ‘voice’, and he loved Ty!

    My compliments to @stevewin, outstanding job transcribing it. 

    What a story! Hollywood script, if ever there was one. I’m completely on board with him now and hope he excels as a Bill.

    If not, there’s a Soul/R&B gig somewhere in his future. Barry White reincarnated!

    Barry White indeed!

    I rarely listen to WGR but heard Murphy and Tasker yesterday talking about how hard Croom has been working at the Bills training facilities.

     

    I think their depth situation is about right......nothing extra.  

     

    If I had to guess I'd say a couple of these guys end up injured........based on history and experience I'd put the most likely to end up on IR or laid up for an extended period as Kroft and Knox.   Knox has only participated in 18 games as a TE since converting from QB in HS(and missed his HS senior season with ankle injury.....also just had sports hernia surgery in December) so my guess is this pick will either go very good or very bad.....no in between.  Injuries when trying to raise your game to a higher level of competition are common with rookies.   

    I was just thinking about that conversation reading this thread. Actually it was Chris Brown on with Murphy, and I remember thinking that Chris Brown was going out of his way to say nice thing about Jason Croom [a Peugula daughter's boyfriend thing?], but then he has nothing but positive things to say about all the players - which is why I don't find Brown at all interesting. Murphy and Tasker will both gently call out Bills players/poor play.

    Anyone have luck with a decent airfare from Buffalo to Nashville.  Prices seem to be crazy, and the alternative is an 11 hour drive.  Really want to attend, but not looking to break the bank, or take a long drive for a 3 or 4 day trip.

    Still under $400 out of Rochester, one-connection - doesn't seem to bad.
