I have practiced this scenario in practice over my 30 years in the game Week 5 of a regular season a team will catch that pop up on the 10.. in the playoffs with minimal time.. the returner is absolutely instructed if it goes over the 10 to let it bounce into the end zone 95 out of 100 times that ball rolls into the end zone.. very very rarely have I ever seen it take a weird kick and stay in play .. the bounce that keeps it in is an anomaly I've ran this scenario in practice a hundred times over the years.. a squib kick you could down and no time is lost... A super high pop-up at the 20 won't roll into the end zone.. but you can fair catch it And a standard pop up that's going to the 10 yard line you can absolutely just let it roll into the end zone.. you just don't see it because teams return it week five regular season... but that ball does roll out 90 out of 100 times.. so in that scenario you absolutely let it roll out

I think you got it flipped Buffalo was always the original 716 area code.. and Rochester sucked it up Buffalo is the original 716 -
Kyler Murray unfollows Cardinals on social media

Yeah but as I've said hardman 95% doesn't panic and he will let it go over his head at the 10 yard line I don't see a scenario where they don't get it at least at the 20-25.. except if you're right and he panics... But your coached not to panic in that situation Davis Webb was not that instrumental in Josh Allen's growth Allen himself, Palmer , daboll , Barkley, Dorsey , are all ahead of Webb.. Webb and Allen are friends and they work out together.. he's not Allen's quarterback guru

Spotrac has Levi Wallace valued @ $9M/yr. Thoughts?
Buffalo716 replied to Estro's topic in The Stadium Wall
Those are all fair questions.. it's up to the bills to decide what they think he's worth McDermott has talked about in the past how it takes three players to replace Johnson when he goes down... Because of all the aspects of his game... As a former defensive back I can see how versatile he is .. His ability to tackle off the edge.. and blitz.. his ability to tackle the receiver and allow minimum yac... And play Sean's combination coverages make him probably more valuable than Levi And it's tough to have all that money tied up in the secondary -
Here's the thing with the pop off kickoff.. I've practiced this a hundred times in football practice over the years You're getting two kinds A super super high pop-up that is caught at the 20-25.. which you can fair catch and no time is killed Or a hi pop up , it goes to like the 10 yard line... Week five of the regular season the other team will just catch it and return it With 13 seconds left in a playoff game.. the returner let's it go over his head and it bounces into the end zone.. and they get it at the 25 with no time off I've actually simulated this live in football practices and went over this in my head a thousand times over the last two weeks.. these are the two most likely scenarios

To his defense Levi absolutely improved his man coverage this year I think he's squarely a top 40 corner in the league I wouldn't pay him 9 mil but he vastly improved his ability to mirror guys in man coverage.. he is 10x better than a few years ago -
Yeah but you were probably talking to numbers people Ask The individual franchisee owner if he thinks they're in a data company or a pizza business.. I bet he wants to sell food

Mac Jones "lights" up the skills contest
Buffalo716 replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Allen missed the nets at the Senior bowl.. And that's why you don't throw to non moving nets in the NFL 🤣 -

Bills 2021 rookie class ranked 27th in league
Buffalo716 replied to BillsFan619's topic in The Stadium Wall
You can't rank a rookie class after 1 season Amateurs Every football coach knows that football players don't come equally.. some come in basically maxed out but ready to compete And some take a few years of seasoning then really turn it on The biggest weakness of our scouting department during the drought era was projecting players to the NFL It's not about who's the better football player day one.. it's about who's the better football player year 3.. the bills really struggled at that for a long time Our scouts have really turned the page on that -
Yep exactly Cam's issue is not his running ability.. it's he has a dead arm Physically Josh is built like Tim Tebow.. who was also a powerful runner in the NFL .. he just couldn't throw a football Josh can run like Tim Tebow and throw a football like John elway.. I've been saying it for 2 years he is the most dynamic player in the league and basically there isn't a game plan to stop him yet
-
That's not all true because there's never been a quarterback like Josh None of these running quarterbacks could throw like Josh or were physically built like him Both of those give him the advantage.. he's much much bigger then Michael Vick or Randall Cunningham or RG3.. he's a much better thrower of the football too You bring up running backs.. the cliff for running backs is usually considered 2,000 carries... That's when they fall off Josh is at 400.. he literally has 15 years before he would ever even get close to hitting that number Sure Josh is a good runner so he does run .. he doesn't run as much as running backs.. and he's not taking as much as a beating Besides the league has never seen a player like Josh Allen.. he will be the mold that other teams are looking for

Thurman Thomas was far faster than I thought he was...
Buffalo716 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think he is a better receiver than BOTH those Nothing against them .. but they are more short route specialists Thurman would run routes 25 yards downfield and catch it over his shoulder laying out He is one of a kind -
Thurman Thomas was far faster than I thought he was...
Buffalo716 replied to Big Turk's topic in The Stadium Wall
Thurman Thomas's don't grow on trees He's literally one of the most complete backs in NFL history.. easily top five in that category and one of the best ever They come out once every 20 years -
They are pundits .. And even the ones who didn't like him still thought he was first round caliber ,they just didn't like him over the other guys The browns seriously considered drafting him first , the bills did make the move ... The Cardinals wanted too Every player in the draft is a risk, nothing is sure at the end of the day People here said Allen had accuracy issues too, even after taking us to the playoffs .. when it's clear there's a difference between accuracy issues and inconsistencies EJ Manuel is inaccurate.. Josh Allen was inconsistent Josh makes throws that an inaccurate quarterback couldn't make in his sleep

Andy reid never played quarterback.. he was always an offensive line coach , until he got the chance to coach Brett favre and be his quarterback coach for 2 years Gets Donovan McNabb and he's suddenly a quarterback guru But he never played or coached it until he got the chance
-
Accuracy/precision and completion percentage is not the same College football's all time completion percentage leaders are loaded with guys who did Jack in the NFL Dan Marino is a 58% passer he must suck too Josh's inconsistencies which is different than being inaccurate.. were more to do with his poor lower body mechanics and he's a very coachable person Kiper Jr said it best when he said stats are for losers when talking about Josh... Eye test is all you need

Dorsey ran a lot of 12 personnel packages
Buffalo716 replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall
Listen I'm not going to get into who's fandom is bigger and better Locals versus non locals.. Bills fandom is Bill's fandom The bolded , while maybe true for some people.. is a very blanket statement that is not correct at all There's lots of Bills fans in Buffalo who spend tens and tens and tens of thousands of dollars a year on the bills People who haven't missed games in 10-20 years... People who spend their entire paycheck on Bills memorabilia If Buffalonians didn't spend money on the bills we would have been gone a long time ago.. but they get a lot of money from us
