LEBills

His delivery is a bit dry, but nice context into how our start compares to the history of the NFL

He does. Josh says he and Mahomes have a good relationship but Mahomes hates Josh taking the headlines.

The Super Bowl he won was not at Arrowhead, but your point that he has never won a true away game stands. But it is such a funny argument…most QBs don’t win playoff games in the road! Usually the better team is at home in the playoffs!

Josh needs to run sometimes, it is what makes the team basically unguardable. Though their were some turnovers involved, the Rams kept it close in the first half. Then In the second half Josh started running much more and it pulverized their defense and we scored 21 straight. I knew as soon as Josh ragdolled the safety with that massive stif arm that the Bills were going to win. It energized Josh and the rest of the Bills and really strikes fear in the defense. But you are so right that they need reduce hits he is taking. That has to be a combo of Josh sliding or getting out of bounds instead of going for the extra 2-3 yards. It also means when the game is for all intents and purposes over, that anyone but a Josh runs the ball. And in honesty if he ran 5 times rather than the 10 or so he wound up with, it would have affected the defense just the same. The threat of it is the key, they don’t have to always act on it. I hope they shelve the running for the most part until the Chiefs game and then again until the playoffs. We are good enough to get the 1 seed with Josh reducing his running to just about 0 until the games really matter. But in the meantime, I am in awe of Josh and everything he can do.

This sounds like they already know that it is going to be a minimal suspension (if any) if they are calling on the NFL not to appeal it…

yea same, 5/21. Got an email on 6/1 that said due to overwhelming demand may take more than 2 weeks to ship and would get an email when it does…haven’t gotten anything since

Not so much that he can’t but it’s less likely because he isn’t built like what the prototype outside receiver is due to his lack of length. Scouting is basically just probability. The chance of him winning outside when probably every cornerback he will face is longer than him is less likely. It’s not a 0% chance but if you are looking for an outside WR do you want to take those odds early in the draft? And again, I am pumped about the pick

For Shakir, I think it came down to two things: One, his short arms (29 inches). I think that made a lot of teams feel that he would be slot only for fear he wouldn’t be able to get off press on the outside. And two, with such a deep WR class someone was bound to fall. And I think it is probably true that slot is his best spot so he can get that free release and let him make full use of his initial quickness. However, The fifth round was way too late for him, especially when someone like Jahan Dotson went 132 picks earlier and he had struggles getting off the line vs press too and is smaller than Khalil. Tho it would be great if he turned into Deebo or Diggs, Imo his best pro comp is Robert Woods as he has that same smooth, hunched over running style and can be used in slot, backfield, end around, etc… Which would be great!

Really nice that he starts the video off by providing info to help our community after last week The video itself is well though out and reasoned as all Brett’s videos are. Fun watch as we wait for football to get back

So that means our schedule has the most rest built into it in the AFC?

I mean it’s special for sure, but just wondering if it qualifies as primetime. Or if we could wind up with 6 night games plus the thanksgiving game? Not sure how the NFL classifies some of these specialty games

Yea does playing on Thanksgiving at 1 pm count towards the max of 6 primetime games that can be scheduled?

A lot will be made of how the Rams are 5-0 in season openers since McVay got there, if we get that opening night game. Of those 5 opponents none of them finished the year with more than 6 wins…I will like our chances

Basham is a funny player because he is pretty athletic (9.38 RAS) despite definitely carrying a little extra weight. He is also much stubbier 6’3’’, sub 33 inch arms than the outside pass rushers we normally prefer like AJE and Groot. He is definitely an effort and diagnosis player, he isn’t great at winning initially off the edge but is pretty good at diagnosing the play after structure starts to break and going to where the play is going to be. Last year when they drafted him they mentioned him playing a little on the inside as well. If he can convert some of his body fat to muscle and keep his weight he may be able to handle it inside in pass rushing scenarios. Im actually pretty hopeful for him this year, though I agree with others who have said they see him as potentially good but likely not great pass rusher.

Do the schedule makers want to give the Bills the season opening game two years in a row? 2022…and 2023 😄

If Bradbury wants to play on a one year deal so he can cash in next year when Free Agency opens, signing with Buffalo would be a great opportunity. Gets a chance at a SB, gets to just be one piece in an excellent defense where he won’t have to be the guy in the secondary, and it was McDermotts defense that he started off in Carolina that led to his first big contract. I still think he goes elsewhere for more money, even just on a one year deal. But he could do a lot worse than signing with us this late in the offseason.

Cowboys always have the inside track though they were the opener last year so maybe we will get a break If I had to guess it would be the Broncos, NFL likes the star QB in new situation storyline and Russ is formerly of the NFC West The Bills are probably second most likely after the Broncos imo

We are going to beat the **** out of the Titans

At Baltimore just feels like a MNF game to me. Bills/GB will probably be a 4:25 Fox game if I had to guess and Bills/Chiefs an early season CBS 4:25 game At LAR for the season opener and at Cinci for another Sunday night game The Amazon game I’d guess would be with Browns or Miami

Beane was on One Bills Live right after the draft and they asked him about adding other Free Agents and Beane basically said they don’t have room with the top 53 cap at the moment. Im sure if they want a player bad enough they would make a move but with Tre trending towards week 1, Elam and Dane, I would be surprised if they brought Bradberry in.

I hope he is second Deebo! Realistically, he is slap fighting Taiwan Jones for a roster spot

I think what I learned from that article is we should try to get Drew Hartlaub (PSU #37) who just signed as a UDFA with the Panthers. Dude saved three of Stout’s punts from going into the end zone in those handful of examples

Tannehill sucks and Malik probably should learn to do the opposite of many of the things he does. I get that he didn’t sign a contract that said “I will mentor the next guy” and none of us would want be training our replacement at our job. But the NFL is a different animal. And if you want to stick in the league as much as possible you have to be willing to embrace those roles. looking forward to the Titans implosion this year!

I mean John Stewart had 198 carries that year and Cam Newton had 139. Maybe it will be less but I think less than 12 touches a game is possible for Cook but we won’t know until the season

Chris McCaffrey had just shy of 200 touches (117 rushes, 80 catches) his rookie year. I’d say that is probably what we could expect for Cook
