    So, you DON'T want to see Nick Bosa, Ed Oliver or a franchise OT on this team next year?

     

    Bosa is going #1 overall. Oliver probably #2 or #3. I don't think we'll be that bad. And i already know Khalil Mack is an elite game changing pass rusher entering the prime of his career. I wouldn't hesitate to trade our 1st, our 3rd, and either of Lawson or Hughes for him.

    GB does have 2 1sts. They can put together a competitive offer.

     

    I dont think there's a GM in the league that takes the Packers and Saints 1st rounders over the Bills. Two mid-20s or a possible top 5 pick. Easy choice.

    Also I don't think GB has a DE they can send back. Hughes and Lawson are both trade possibilities.

    I don’t know if I’m just overly optimistic but I think he’s going to end up on the Bills.

     

    If Beane wants him he's ours. No other team can offer better draft pick compensation. If Green Bay gets him it isn't because they outbid us, it's because Beane didn't want to give up a 1st rounder next year. Personally I'd do it and I'm pretty sure we'll be picking in the top 10.

  4. A couple days after the game we traded for Corey Coleman. Allen will likely be playing with Coleman tomorrow, Foster will probably be with Peterman. Coleman is the one poised to have a big game. That trade was probably a direct reaction to Foster's awful play last week. He can run fast but that isn't enough. I think we ultimately will store him on the practice squad.

    His best wow plays were the TD to Stevie on his debut vs the Patriots and the TD to Easley in the Jags game. I was right on the line of that pass. It was an absolute beauty. They are the only two I can remember. 

     

    Those weren't wow plays. Especially not the TD to Stevie. He was as wide open as you can be. And are we thinking of the same Easley TD?

     

     

    That's a standard deep TD in the NFL. That is a competent play. It isn't special like the McCloud TD. Even Tyrod had a few special plays in his time here but they were all with his legs, not his arm. Josh Allen is the first QB we've had in a while that can make plays with his arm that only a few other QBs in the league can make.

  6. I can't remember a single wow play that EJ Manuel had here. Not in a single game, preseason or regular season. If Josh Allen is a bust and off the team in 3 years I'll still remember that TD to McCloud. I'll still remember the back foot throw to Khari Lee. Manuel never looked that great. There were times where he looked competent but he never made a play where you thought "wow this guy could be special." Allen had at least two of those plays in his first preseason game. That's the difference.

    So much that you decided to join less than a week ago to piss on other members comments.

     

    This is his third username of the offseason, at least. And I have my suspicions that he is actually an old BBMB troll who is secretly a Pats fan with about a dozen accounts in his history. Probably a very mentally ill person and it would be best if everyone ignored them from here on out.

    Another data point.....still too early to judge but not a strong start.  Some say you can't fix accuracy - can you fix a mind set?  Interesting read.

    Sam Bradford got the day off as the rest of the Cardinals labored in the friendly confines of Arizona’s indoor stadium, so it was Josh Rosen’s time to shine with the ones. He did so with the benefit of a less-than-live pass rush after Saturday’s inconsistent performance behind a struggling second-string offensive line. Sorry to say, the 10th overall selection in the 2018 draft didn’t look much better against his own teammates. Part of that can be blamed on a wide receiver group without a clear No. 2 to Larry Fitzgerald, but many of Rosen’s wounds were self-inflicted. While his footwork looked solid, Rosen air-mailed several balls at the goal line and down the sidelines, and looked out of sync with route-runners.

     


    Conversely, undrafted free agent quarterback Chad Kanoff is making the most of his opportunity under center, and seems to have a fighting chance at supplanting Mike Glennon as the No. 3 quarterback on the roster. The Princeton product’s accuracy on deep balls Monday, particularly on one bomb to Trent Sherfield, made it hard to tell who was the first-round pick and who played his college ball in the Ivy League (no offense to the Ivy League, which has much more going for it than football).

    Here’s the strange thing about watching Rosen and Kanoff side by side: When Kanoff faltered, he was reserved, attentive, and quickly moved on to the next play. When Rosen tossed up a bad ball or failed in a third-down scenario, he was visibly upset, taking big swings at nothing with a cleated foot and generally looking pretty miserable. A bunch of anonymous scouts were talking about the UCLA product’s bad body language during the pre-draft process, and while you should take most of that anonymous stuff with a grain of salt, one can see here in training camp why there were concerns.

     

     

    This is what people were saying about Rosen pre-draft. Accuracy doesn't mean squat if you don't have the mental fortitude to withstand life in the NFL. Sounds to me like he's letting his bad preseason debut get to him.

     

    The paragraph about the undrafted QB from Princeton gave me flashbacks to EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel.

    As for the other two quarterbacks, Nathan Peterman and A.J. McCarron flipped responsibilities from how the Bills positioned them on Monday.  Peterman worked with the third-team offense on Monday and was with the top unit on Tuesday -- and vice versa for McCarron. Peterman went 9-of-9 while taking a pair of sacks with the ones, and McCarron was 9-of-12 with the third unit. Neither player has done anything to cancel themselves out of the competition to be the starting quarterback, which further complicates Sean McDermott's ultimate decision.

     

    I still think one of them starts the season. They aren't making the decision any easier but this is what you call a good problem to have.

    Packers have two firsts next year. I’d say they lead the field for sure

     

    I would think the Bills 1st is worth more than both of the Packers 1sts. Many people think the Bills will have a top 5 pick next year. The Packers picks will both be in the 20s, maybe 30s. If we want Mack we can get him. I'm not sure that's the kind of move Beane would make though.

    That said, while I haven't been to every single practice, I have seen him practice and have watched his half multiple times against Carolina watching nothing but his footwork at times and I came away surprised how much better his base looked.  And while he still has a ways to go, in my opinion, he is much further along at this point than I thought he could get to since his college season ended.  This shows me the guy works at it and takes coaching well which is very important.

     

    Count me into the eating crow group. Maybe Jordan Palmer really is a QB guru. I had the same thoughts on you from his college tape, that his arm was great but his footwork was too messy to be worth it. He's come a long way in just a few months. I can only imagine what he could be in a couple years.

    Not sure why Cover1 accepts the read on the TD. That was a low % attempt. The coverage should have lead Allen to the middle of the field. Hopefully Bills coaches don't accept that read.

     

    He explained that it was a half field read, and by the time Proehl broke open Allen was already releasing the ball. I'm not going to criticize that TD. It wasn't a fluke or anything, it was just a great pump fake and throw. The one throw Erik criticized was the incompletion to Proehl downfield when Allen could have just checked down to a TE. But that's a way easier mistake to fix than trying to teach him to take chances downfield. If that's the worst thing you can point to in his first preseason game that's a really promising start.
