When Bride the Second was looking to replace her Toy Yoda Echo, we narrowed it down to either a used Mazda 3, or a used Honda Fit, both off dealership lots. Looked at the Mazda first, and told the salesperson that we still were going to look at the Honda. That salesperson and the used car manager kept calling and emailing long after we had bought the Fit. I wonder if they thought we were lying about having purchased the Fit? 🤔

Each? 🤨 * GMs and HCs are hard to come by. Practice squad guys are a dime a dozen. One goes down, it's just "next man up!" Your idea is better. Ralph might have been cheap, but he was no dummy when it came to shekels.

I can picture the conversation regarding statue relocation if Ralph was still alive. >>> "We've contacted Higgins Erectors and Haulers to move your statue, Mr. Wilson. They were the low bid." <<< "Nonsense. Tell Brandon and Sean not to make any plans for Sundays in March. They can rent a pickup truck and appliance dolly from Home Depot."

Has it been established if the Damar of today is the 'original' Damar, or the 'replacement' Damar, who was substituted after the demise of the original? I'll hang up, put my tinfoil hat on, and listen on the radio for the answer. 🙄

Garo Yepremian tried K, QB, and DB all in one play in Super Bowl VII. 🤔 "The field goal attempt was blocked by Bill Brundige, and Yepremian managed to get to the ball before any other player did. Instead of falling on the ball to preserve the Dolphins' 14–0 lead, he picked it up and frantically attempted to throw a pass. As a result, the ball slipped from Yepremian's hands and went straight up in the air. Yepremian then attempted to bat the ball out of bounds but instead batted it back up in the air, and it went right into the arms of his former Lions teammate, Redskins cornerback Mike Bass, who returned it for a touchdown." (from the Wikipedia article.)

I wasn't so much interested in that perceived McD snub from last year. I was more interested in if Daboll had any occasion to rant, rave, and rail at his players, coaches, or game officials. There were quite a few of us here who were members of the 'DABOLL IN THE BOOTH!' fan club when he was Bills OC.

If Shemp was in the picture, he'd be Hobert. 🤨

Agree. There are undoubtedly nuances that each position requires, and an ever increasing base of information that coaches will use in planning.

Just for the hell of it, I Googled 'Bills best punter' (using Duck Duck Go), and it answers 'Matt Araiza'. 🤨😑

Going back to the late 2010s, there seemed to be a few Buffalo WRs that half the board had them as shoo-ins for Canton, while the other half of the members were crying to convert them to DB.

Cold, dawg, just cold. 🥶 (Good thing he's got a puffy coat!)

I am reserving judgment until I see what Jerry Sullivan thinks, vis-à-vis both the NFL and the Bills. 😇

Bledsoe was toppled more often and in more cities than statues of Lenin and Marx. 😁

Screw reality television. Just give us Daboll or Chuckie losing it on the sidelines in game conditions. 😁

I did think that a lot of outstanding multi position players from high school then would be winnowed down to their best positions by college. By the time of graduation, most were either offense or defense.

Thank you to all who have responded.

Agreed regarding the 'automatic' 50 yarders, but then too consider the missed PATs of the past few years. Seems like there were a fair number...or maybe it was only the Bills. 😁

Thank you both. A name that didn't ring a bell, but a good long career in Buffalo, judging from the Wikipedia page. General question.

They're juicing, I tells ya! 😳 Make them all wizz in the bottle! 😁

From someone who hasn't waded through the pages of this thread, any instances of 'Daboll Unhinged' yesterday? Not so much his decisions, just curious about his temperament. 😁

I thought you were an essayist / blogger / thoughtful analyst, not a 'Police Squad / Airplane!' type like HOUSE and myself. 😢 * 😉😁

Meh. Kickers shouldn't wear #39. 🤨 * 😉😁

Are there any instances of cement handed wide receivers converting to defensive backs positions, in the modern era of professional football? Or are the skills of the roles just too different?

Matt Patricia is only a couple of millimetres higher on the scale than Nathaniel Hackett. 🤨 Kotite is too busy wondering about what flavour pudding cup is being served with his dinner tray in the retirement home. Hue Jackson could take Mayfield's place as groundskeeper, but only if they get him an ATV. And groundskeepers to do the actual work. 🤨

Baroque and chamber music are two forms I find relaxing as I work.
