Buffalo716

Modern WR gloves are amazing … I mean I don’t understand how some players drop balls Like if you put on a brand new pair of Nike vapor jet 7.0… You would feel like Calvin Johnson But yes water doesn’t usually react good with them… Usually when the rain comes out the gloves come off Because it loses the tack

It’s preparation that cannot be Attained any other way than practicing outside in Buffalo A highly prepared team is usually highly disciplined There’s no math involved that’s football… A Team that’s not prepared is usually sloppy

Trollolllolll

To prepare for the game Saturday night and expect to practice outside today as well This is a preparation that has always benefited buffalo I expect a very disciplined team Saturday night

Congrats to Safety Marcus Fuqua on being named 3rd team AP All American

He sat out his RS SO year he had a lot of eligibility left

There is no substitute for playing tackle football Of course for the one percent of physical freaks it doesn’t matter But repetition and experience is the best thing you can get in football.. For blocking and tackle techniques Tons of division one lineman or NFL lineman are raised to be lineman from the time they are nine or 10… It takes a lot and a lot of development to acquire the skill to be a NFL lineman

I’m chaining myself to the remaining wall If she goes down I’m going down with her

I ran into Jerry At a UB game a few weeks ago I was surprise he Admitted who he was

Yea he was a stud, physically gifted like few That alone does not make you a Hall of Famer last time I checked

That’s just not true … don’t get @BADOLBILZ started first … Even average Pro quarterbacks can force feed the ball to a good wide receiver…. Josh Gordon Put up all pro numbers playing with worse QBs than Eric moulds second … You could put any really good wide receiver with a really good quarterback for 10 years and he will have ludicrous stats… the game doesn’t work like that third , if moulds came into the league a better route runner he wouldn’t have lost 2 seasons of little production … maybe being a better technician coulda got him some more yards early fourth , he has 9995 yards… You’re not magically adding 6000 yards when he was already force-fed by pros He is absolutely one of the best bills WRs but he was inconsistent and didn’t play much in the beginning because lack of route running

Moss was averaging 5.4 ypc before we traded him … averaged 4.3 his first year blackshear is in the 3s… Moss wasn’t a stud but it’s absolutely revisionist to say blackshear looked better then he ever did lol when the stats say it’s not If you take away their long on the season they’re both 3.0 backs but moss has a 4.3 500 yard season

He did for a long long long long time

He was a staple of the polish music community on the east side

Yeah physically they are close … but TY Was always a better route runner John Brown That doesn’t disappear And they were Street free agents Because there’s 100 wide receivers who are younger and cheaper… And veterans like that don’t wanna play on bad teams or for peanuts TY actually was playing last year… John Brown wasn’t I’d say he is probably a step ahead… And that doesn’t mean either will be great I’m just saying it based on he was playing more recently and is a better route runner They’re getting jobs now because people obviously think they could play… the bills aren’t 3-10 signing smoke … they are 10-3 They obviously thinks he has something

I mean it always takes 2 to tango but He was 1300, 1400, 1200, yards with luck … led league in catches John Brown was very good with Josh Allen, not a 1300 yard guy

Or Veterans like that don’t want to play for peanuts or on a terrible team So teams go with the youth and cheap movement… Until late in the season when players are hurt and rookies hit a wall Than older veterans like John Brown and TY come back well rested… suh etc Most teams don’t want to pay these guys any type of salary and they don’t want to play for a vet minimum usually… Until they have no choice but to And you keep bringing up stats from Different seasons… John Brown two years ago was close to TY last year We’ll see what they have left now

I pass Saint Stanislaus daily…. That area has really been hit hard But it’s still filled with a lot of great people… And they have a lot of pride for where they live It’s not what it was in the 60s… But it’s still home to a lot of people

I mean I don’t think TY is a superstar lol But he’s probably better than John Brown slightly Re-read my post which I was editing and the stats show it TY was better in 2020… Brown didn’t play in 21 And TY did So Realistically brown is probably slightly behind him.,, TY Was always a much better route runner

Blackshear averages 3.8 ypc… He isn’t some diamond in the rough.. he’s a replaceable jag Singletary , cook and Hines are all better

Cam rising is my 6-7th round backup I want Tough as nails, winner, intangibles …. Just not the most physically gifted There’s always a fourth or fifth year senior with a great make up to be a good back up

I mean there’s a lot of factors that determine stats and you’re showing browns stats from 2 years ago and TYs last year … 2020 JB 33 458 2020 TY 56 762 2021 JB 0 0 2021 TY 23 331 So neither of these two seasons is John brown playing as good as TY

Listen every single person in the suburbs say they’re from Buffalo… Cheektowaga, Lancaster, Depew ,Orchard Park, even the sticks … Because everybody knows Buffalo around the country… Nobody knows Depew And it’s great that you’re a super fan of all sports Western New York… Personally I also like everything from the bills and sabres and Cuse and Bonnie’s and UB and Canisius… and cuse isn’t even WNY But I still stand by my point There is not a bigger disconnect between the suburbs and a city in any area , than the city of Buffalo to its suburbs Again every suburbanite says they’re from Buffalo… And there’s nothing wrong with saying that… it’s pride in a home But The people who grew up on Broadway and Bailey and the east and west and south side don’t agree… They grew up in poverty, And gang violence and drugs They don’t Have anything in common with a kid from Hamburg from a nice home My point is people use the word Buffalo loosely in Western New York… To the people living in the city… Buffalo is buffalo… They don’t consider Clarence buffalo To the people in the suburbs… Buffalo is the majority of Erie county and I’m sure throughout Erie and Niagara county you can find plenty of Bonnie’s fans and UB fans … and Canisius and Niagara fans But liking somebody like Saint Bonaventure’s is usually a learned behavior … Usually don’t wake up one day and say I’m going to choose to like Saint Bonaventure’s You usually acquire it from your father or grandfather… and grew up Watching them… same with UB There’s definitely a pocket of Bonnie’s fans in the area but it’s a niche … alumnis and people who grew up watching with their family I want all of Buffalo and WNY to succeed … I’m as pro WNY as they come … i just know that UB will never have the support you and I think it should have …. And there’s a lot of reasons for that but that’s a different story

Besides the fact that at 32 Smoke has 4500 yards and 1 1000k yard season and Hilton has almost 10k yards and 5 1000k yard seasons I’d say besides both being smaller speed receivers… One’s produced at a much higher clip… and I do like smoke But he’s never been TY
