HappyDays

It wasn't an elite season but he did have some elite plays that you have to accept losing once he leaves. A lot of RBs don't get some of those long TD runs he had. Or a couple of the red zone TDs where he outran a defender to the pylon. Or the 4th down TD in the AFCCG that kept us in the game. I can't pretend those plays weren't important so if the idea is never pay RBs unless they're the elite of the elite, I get it, but those plays have to be replaced or else you are just choosing to take a step back on offense. I don't trust this regime to replace those plays because historically they have not put a lot of resources into explosive skill players.

No fans at today's practice, just beat reporters.

Hmm not good: Oh well as long as it doesn't linger into the season I don't really care.

I won't be able to do regular updates today if anyone wants to pick up the responsibility.

Yup here are Coleman's 3 big catches: https://www.buffalobills.com/video/keon-coleman-is-having-a-day

Moore is a draft bust on his 3rd team in 5 seasons. He was held out for a week with injuries and last week was yelled at by Josh Allen for running the wrong route. I never understood the hype with him. As the 4th/5th WR on our depth chart sure I'm fine with that. Coleman on the other hand has pretty clearly been the #1 pass catcher throughout camp. He needs to clean up some focus drops and keep building consistency. Everything is moving in a positive direction though. If you need to wait to see it in real games I respect that.

So yes he needs to stop dropping passes that hit his hands, but hey at least he's getting open enough to earn those targets and he's making the tougher contested catches more regularly. Cleaning up focus drops is easy. If that's the worst thing we can say about his performance right now that is honestly a big positive.

Ironically I make my work worse with this board.

Sorry for not being able to post as many updates. Allen got a rest day which is a hilarious troll job for the hundreds of fans that showed up. Clean up the easy stuff and we might really have something here.

Knox appears to be participating for the first time since camp started.

Yeah McDuffie has a size problem. We saw it on Mack Hollins' TD in the AFCCG and AJ Brown worked him all night in the SB. I tend to think he is a bit overrated. I'd be interested to see what he would look like outside of KC. L'Jarius Sneed went to Tennessee and became a nobody. Not saying McDuffie would suffer anything close to that kind of drop off but equally I am sure Spagnuolo's scheme maximizes his skill set and covers his flaws.

He is the one player that would give me pause but honestly even him I would be willing to trade. You're talking about a future Hall of Fame pass rusher vs a great but not elite CB. Really just a thought exercise because I don't think Dallas would want Benford back in this trade anyways. And I doubt Parsons will actually get traded in any case. This will have the same outcome as Myles Garrett IMO.

If it comes down to it you move Rousseau. I doubt we would actually do that because he fits the team's culture or whatever, but in reality there's no player on the team other than Allen that should be considered un-tradeable if you're getting an elite player back.

A lot of superstars are divas. This is the drought era lovable losers mentality. KC and Philly have guys on their team that you hate to root for, and those players are racking up championships. Many Bills fans have a weird complex about players that are anything but 100% company men. That diva attitude is the same mentality that makes these guys alphas on the field. We shouldn't be afraid of that, we should welcome it.
