Fortunately he was in team drills yesterday. It’s unfortunate that he missed so much time because he needs the practice but the good thing is he had the surgery and McDermott says they are being cautious with easing him back in.
I don’t think fortune has anything to do with 3 starting OL that were nicked up coming back at the same time. Heck even dion got some time already.
I think 1 week before preseason game 1 was a date to get peeps back. I think they wanted to give anyone with a boo-boo a bit of time with training staff before being full go. It makes sense and would bet its part of load management.

Not a prohaska fan. Not because of his takes, rather his voice, delivery. Super homer too. Turner is a gem and glad he took Kendall from fanatics.
quinn just irks me.
Different strokes for different folks.
I would say ant isn’t so much a homer as only focusing on the positive. A homer sorta convinces themselves it’ll always be the best situation.
quinn does rub some peeps the wrong way but I’m ok with him. Like I said I listen for content and I like the warm takes

Pretty sure it’s keenum. He’s at least done stuff in the league as recently as last year for the browns. Barkley is here to help josh from the PS imo

Nice! Now a Spencer Brown sighting would be good to see next.
Pretty sure he’s been at a lot of practices just not using him in team drills yet.

Yeah, I hear that. I think my favorite team is the air raid hour with Mathis and Tilton. Mathis is good mod while tiltons delivery and pace is just right.
Tompsett is good, but the little squirrelly dude annoys tf outta me. He’s terrible imo. I’d like the see tompsett team up with Kendall Mirsky. Mirsky could be have a career in the nfl in some capacity. It’s clearly what he’s working for. He hasn’t been around long enough to hate his voice and delivery yet.
Bruce the exclusive is def my favorite solo act. Some of his food pods aren’t for me though. I like Joe Miller too, but only catch 1 out of 3 pods he makes.
I don’t enjoy Rico and the fanatics team anymore. Rico is aight, but overall their content sucks. Raspy voice and rev are 💩
Built in Buffalo 💩 💩 💩

Oh yeah, I agree. Thad Turd. Can’t stand him
Air raid is pretty good I agree. Tilt $ has good takes. Judge gets a little too spicy for me to be a regular listener.
thats why I like tompsett and Quinn. They usually stick to luke warm takes. Tompsett is awesome at contracts though so he’s sorta required viewing.
film room with turner and now pro ant and Kendall has always been good. I watched all of the josh Allen film rooms with Nate and erick.
I also like Bruce. He has a different perspective that I appreciate on things. The 2022 draft as Marvel characters was gold.
agree on Rico just too much for me.
agree thad seems like garbage.
generally it’s content > voice for me

That very well could be the case. I don’t fault them if that is true. Even then, they could at least be better with the overall play by play. Sure we will get major TD alerts or big play developments, but it still seems like they could talk a little bit more on what is going on. It’s been pretty quite.
I mean I get it, practice isn’t really that exciting, but there are some of us that live and breath this stuff. I need as much filler as possible to get me through daily drives and work. I can’t even find a totally dedicated podcast with everything Bills. Sure Brown and Tasker have a good program, but you would think there would be others out there that would talk more about the Bills. Some channels exist, but most of it is basic chatter and random discos that go off in tangents.
Joe Marino is everyday for the whole year. Fills my drives well. He doesn’t have any camp insight but like how he breaks down what others are saying. Also cover 1.

Said it in another thread but this is pretty low priority for me. With holding distance hangtime all being more important.

Yeah, punt god isn't great at the directional kicking so far
I’m ok with it. My priority for him to learn is
1 holding (points most important)
2 hang time (no TD returns)
3 directional kicking (only used when we are in area where we go for it more often)

Yes just renewed its great.

Besides what others have I said I would also add other teams “over” invested and that means some good players will fall (Davis included). I think Beane may have realized this (he did trade away a first round talent rather than risk it and could’ve gotten Jefferson)
44 minutes ago, yall said:So here are my thoughts: it was balls hot.
Beyond that I thought the offense put on a show. The defense seemed almost non-existent at times. If this is the number one defense in the NFL minus a few pieces then we're going to kick a lot of ass this year.
For the record those players are 4 players that have been all
pros in the past 3 years. 😂

Would have loved to see brown and penning play for UNI. Shame they had their 2020 season cancelled. At FCS those two must have been so nasty.

I said Peters offered MORE at the RT position than both Spencer Brown and Darryl Williams last season…. Meaning he was BETTER than both. Brown and Williams struggled at tackle in 2021.
And my point about Williams is he gives you more flexibility and availability than Saffold does/has… and his pass protection inside was arguably better than what Saffold offered last season…. There’s a reason the Bills paid Williams the money they did prior to last season.
Cool glad to hear you are still on the Williams > Saffold take. i think thats laughable. The league needs OL and he couldnt get signed before TC. he could def still be signed which if he doesnt wouldnt that be embarrasing for your take.
Considering position flex and overall play at both T and G, i think Quessenberry > Williams. Williams has shown what he is, an unathletic player who is cereberal enough to give good RT (only) play for periods, but his guard play leaves a lot to be desired. Just to hammer this home you are saying a pro bowl guard (not the best metric but def something) is arguably worse than an OL with flexibility that hasnt been able to find a team before TC.

It’s Scottlaw, his takes are always entertaining and lack context, I think entertaining is the main thing though. 😂
Had to dunk in the take that unsigned Daryl Williams was as good or better than Saffold.
4 hours ago, ScottLaw said:At Tackle? Dudes a HOFer, even at 40 I’d take him over DW. Wtf are you talking about? 😅
You got lost in your Jason peters stuff. I’m here to laugh at your Daryl Williams takes. You say now he wasn’t offering much last year. But that’s not the tune you’ve been singing all off-season. “If he (Saffold) is an upgrade (to Daryl Williams)…”. 😂. That take is gold it was June and he was unsigned (still is).

OLine is the weakness by a mile. I don't dislike the top 5 (I'm higher on brown than some), but I don't know if I trust a single depth player. It's the only thing that's "controllable" (to a degree) that worries me about this team.
I trust Quessenberry a lot more than I did any backups last year. Dude was a starter and VERY good run blocker last year. Yeah he gave up sacks but tannehill is terrible at eluding pressures (saw a site where he had more sacks than pressures, not sure how that happens). So I feel better with Quessenberry at any position other than C than I did with last years backups. Don’t think its particularly close between this year and last year either.

He was way better than anything Spencer Brown or Darryl Williams offered last season.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 now you don’t think Daryl Williams offered much? Do you still think he offers as much or more than Saffold? What a terrible take that was for June.

Agree with the points about getting the 1's working together. Isnt Kromer sorta known for rotating players more than other coaches though? Maybe they are taking the opportunity to do that at the start of camp cause of the inuries.

If they do get credentialed they won't be able to post the same detail anymore and you'll see a very similar product to the other media outlets.
Some of what they would report on would go away but I think there would be a new avenue for them to report on if credentialed. Lose formations and who’s getting starting reps. Gain press conference questions and locker room access in season to ask Xs and Os questions of the players. See the game plan develop over the week and then be able to use that to explain what was happening in the game. That all sounds great to me.
4 hours ago, CA OC Bills Fan said:There are signs clearly showing all around the fences, "No Videotaping Allowed." I don't see how they enforce if you're taping for your own use, but once you post online, credentialed or not, it seems they could come after you and bar you from ever attending camp.
I don’t think I am seeing them post anything that what is on team website. What they do that credentialed media can’t is say who’s getting first team reps. Thad thinks this is why he can’t get people to listen to him. But it’s really cause he doesn’t know football. I think cover 1 would be great as credentialed media.
8 hours ago, ToGoGo said:It's definitely not everyone's cup of tea. Lots of football fans out there that fall asleep when hearing about Xs and Os. Also they're really aiming for the younger generation Bills Mafia kind of vibe. But it's smart, and that's more than can be said for tools like Thad Brown. That's not a hot take, that's exactly what he is. Football coverage for squares.
Personally I think Eric is fantastic and the other guy he had on for the QB breakdowns in 2020 was excellent, I think he's on WGR still. Since then there's just too many guys and I have no clue who they are.
But the vibe on Cover 1 is fresh and not tired and skeptical like Schopp and the like.
The other guy from QB breakdowns was Nate geary. Yea still WGR to my knowledge but I mostly get him talking to Bruce Nolan on the food for thought pod. Bruce is def worth a listen and those film breakdowns of josh growing were awesome.

No way they carry 4 TEs.
If I'm McD I go with Knox, Howard, and Doyle or some other backup OT.
Cut Gilliam. I have no idea why he is on the roster. He does nothing well. He doesn't block well, he doesn't catch well out of the backfield, and he doesn't pass protect well. Their should be no roster spot for a FB unless they are a special talent, which he is clearly not.
As others have said they need to reserve a few roster spots for special teams and backup OL.
I thought he was a pretty good blocker. He was pretty important to our run game last year. That and he plays like all the ST snaps. But I see your point if it’s we’re gonna run zone so he less important than when we ran gap
blocking at the end of last year

Lol topic should be bills sign Jordan again 😂.
I agree though good for bottom of our roster move. I think griffin won’t make PS with benford Mccloud Tim Harris and Jordan miller around. Considering wild goose and even mccloud getting picked up last year, I have a good bit of confidence in the CB depth players.

4 hours ago, BigAl2526 said:
Nick McCloud was known to have outstanding athleticism and size/speed ratio coming out of Ohio State. For whatever reason, his production didn't match his physical profile. When the Bills signed him as a free agent, it was with the hope that with time and good coaching he could develop into a solid NFL CB. He's been with the Bills now for two years. It looks like the Bills' investment may be paying off.
? You got the right player? ND and NC state for mccloud.

I don't see how it's an over-reaction.
He came in to play the slot position and had been to one training camp practice.
Right now he's losing ground to mckittrick (is that still a thing?) And Shakir is getting his reps and all signs point to him doing well so far.
Also has a player ever been IR'd because they are sore? Seriously asking.
So you didn’t look at his contract? That would tell you why it’s an overreaction to say he’s gonna be cut.
I agree he losing ground to lil dirty and shakir. But he’s not getting cut unless he’s a net negative to the team. As for players IRd for soreness see hodgins and Stephenson. It’s a thing we sorta do with WR

Not true. If they did cut him(of course they will not) then the cap hit to the Bills would be the offset money difference between his guaranteed salary and whatever new deal he signed with his new club. Again its not happening but that is how the money/cap works for a guy on 5th year guarantee. There is no more prorated signing bonus money that would hit the cap as dead money because it had already been accounted for over the length of his current contract.
I dont know that there is offset language in Edmunds contract let alone the 5th year option. Please share if you see this but the link below says it wouldnt be.

29 minutes ago, NewEra said:I like crowder. I think he’ll make the team…. If he’s healthy enough to earn his spot. The guy has missed the last 3 practices due to “soreness”.
I think he’s our best slot receiver when available although I think Mckenzie might be creeping up on him.
I think he’s better than and should beat out Austin….but Austin is practicing and seems to be doing a decent job from what I’ve read.Being available is important. All I can really judge him on right now is his past with other teams. I don’t think the roster spots on this team will be won and lost based on years past. It’s my belief that the players will earn their spot during camp.
but I’ve been known to be wrong before, so this doesn’t mean much.I agree McKenzie is creeping and seems like hes gonna have more of a share than I (and most peeps) thought. Considering they only save 100k from cutting crowder, i would expect them to stash him on IR rather than cutting him. That way he can still be available later in the year for only 100k more. Heck to do this move I would use Austin if he beats Crowder out cause of availability at the start of the season. I would cut Austin for 0 dead cap, tell him to go wait in the parking lot, then re-sign him for 50-100k more for his help.
I think some roster spots are won before TC and you see it in the contracts. Now playing time is a different story where we agree McK looks to be coming up.

He played in 12 games in 2021. Last I checked, every team played 17 games last year.
Again. He’s missed at least 1/4 of the season 3 out of the last 4 seasons. If you don’t think that makes him more of an injury risk than many others, you’re certainly entitled to feel that way.
https://www.draftsharks.com/fantasy/injury-history/jamison-crowder/7269
So you dont think hes a roster lock? I think his cap numbers indicate he is if hes not traded.
I keep comparing Crowder to Cole and its interesting to me that Crowder has ~4.6 k snaps in the 7 years before joining and cole only had 3.2k snaps in 7 years. really strange how dallas didnt use cole. also shows that crowder has been playing a ton up to this point relative to a guy hes coming in for.

point well taken. But I still come back to the main sticking point of some arguing that the team would keep Austin over Crowder. Austin is the ultimate flier. I just don’t see him giving them any meaningful production.I dont really take the point about Saffold. Games with < 95% snap are SEA close win, NYJ loss, Jax rout, Kan rout, NWE loss (89% snaps), Jax rout, Mia rout. Thats 4 routs, 1 toss up in week 2 and 2 losses (one being close). He played complete games against all divisional opponents besides Jags and in 4/6 1 score games he saw the field for (both 1 score games he left the field for were in the first quarter of the season). Lastly, the titans as an org will not get the benefit of the doubt from me when it comes to managing injuries as they ran henry to dust last year.
1 hour ago, Ralonzo said:If the top 53 is over the cap then I’m wondering where one could trim from, this year or next. Especially considering who needs paid next year (Knox, Davis, Edmunds?)
Matakevich is kind of a ST luxury like Roberts used to be. if only Andre Smith wasn’t suspended. Can Spector move in on that role? Or Kumerow?
Howard is probably not an option to release this year, it’s minimal savings I think. Wydermyer at least sounds like he has a chance if he spends a PS year, Sweeney’s ceiling seems to be “fun at parties.”
The most obvious savings seems to be if Edmunds looks for a payday, that seems far less impactful than Davis or Knox if Bernard shows out. I’d prioritize the offensive continuity.I guess that’s where Crowder presents. If he’s not clearly ahead of Shakir/McKittrick/Austin or hurt, then it’s hard to find another salary that is underperforming to that degree. Can’t really see anything obvious from another position group, although DB looks a little overweighted particularly for a McD defense where stopgaps do ok typically.
no savings to be had from cutting Edmunds. his contract is guranteed this year and since it ends this year we dont save any money next year by cutting him. so would need to trade him.

Not listed in top players under 25.
Leadership is not unimportant. But leadership without impact plays is not worthy of a top 5 contract which is what he will want.
He's supposed to be a professional tackler. He doesn't do that well no matter how people want to spin his role on the team.
The media has already moved on to other playmaking linebackers that are true impact players.
All that said, he has 17 games to prove he can be an elite player and earn a top dollar contract. I'd pay Knox and Oliver and let Edmunds walk. Hope he plays well enough to change my mind, because the defense is going to face far better offenses this season as compared to 2021.
not going through the whole thread (cause omg another Edmunds thread) but you know he has a better missed tackle % than Milano? Impact plays are fine to criticize but he improved his missed tackle % last year.

Hasn’t he struggled with press coverage? That would make him less viable on the outside. I think I like shakirs release package more.
