  1. I called it too He certainly is one of the 10 best coaches in college football bar none Football is still my job and I've spent time around a lot of really smart football coaches Lance is a class act and a world class coach... Listened when I tell you He and his staff are quarterback whispers They know how to develop a quarterback
  2. I definitely have been enamored with him since Utah Since I've been to a lot of quarterback camps around the country I tend to follow certain quarterbacks that I've seen I've always liked cam rising and his toughness and smarts.. so when he transferred to Utah I started watching more And Dalton instantly pops I think I started jumping around my house when we drafted him lol
  3. Oh for sure without a doubt It's been a slow decline for me since the original Big East disbanded I love Syracuse orangeman basketball but the ACC is not the same And it has hurt our recruiting
  4. The NCAA tourney really is an amazing event When you have close to 400 division 1 programs with talent spread around Then you add in schemes and coaching There's a reason why they can have 68 teams or whatever and make it very competitive
  5. Arrowhead had a complete retrofit upgrade recently And I was there it certainly was not a dump Rock chalk.. Kansas has stole the best UB coaches of the last 20 years
  6. I'm just calling it like I see it It's billionaires who want more money at the end of the day... But if you're playing hardball... And this is what it takes to keep the bills in Buffalo I would rather do that than not have them
  7. He's going to be so good And while he leave he wasn't trucking people like Gronk I felt like he continually fell forward and will use his elusiveness better with time
  8. What you might get is 70,000 DieHard fans tailgating in private lots While only some of them go to the games with all the people who bought psls But the private lots will probably party for the entire game while playing it on TV
  9. I have lived in Buffalo my entire life I understand the people here... Buffalo certainly creates more of an SEC football atmosphere... We understand football we love it and we love to party The league did change the blackout rules though.. you don't need to sell out anymore I do remember games back in the day that were not on TV
  10. Long day I forgot about that original point And regardless on if there would be more events at the new stadium or not... And if they got first dibs at a ticket PSL is certainly part of every single new stadium now Whether it's Los Angeles or Buffalo... Point of the psls was for owners to recoup money at the end of the day... I don't think they care if the fan gets more chances or not to another event Every new stadium will have psls because the owner wants to get some of his money back
  11. The Buffalo Bills spent years researching The stadium project They researched if having a convention center or a multi-purpose venue was financially worth it All of their research showed it was not... NYS certainly would have done it if they could have made more money And that a standalone football stadium was the best option
  12. Barton will be a NFL center for sure He might get a groomed year at guard to get acclimated.. but his athleticism and football IQ certainly will bring him to center
  13. Yeah I mean I used to watch a ton of college basketball and be really plugged in Now I'm basically plugged in with Syracuse and the ACC.. and I watch some Big 12 basketball
  14. The hype train on Marvin Harrison Jr is officially out of control and it's been that way He certainly is not one of top 3 receivers I have scouted in the last 20 years Super talented, absolutely not in my top 3 People complain about diggs being a diva... This guy has done nothing as a pro and is already a diva Other grown men don't like a diva who has never done anything in the league
  15. Kid should have to redshirt This is super unethical and the reason why nil will not last that long... The open door transfer portal will also 100% be ironed out in the next few years Schools which also commit a lot of money and resources to their student athletes will not accept no faith You should not be able to transfer twice in a matter of months and take a school's money This is certainly why it is going to not last long He should be mandatory red shirted
  16. He wasn't the best at pass blocking last year either... He's a tremendous athlete and run blocker but he gets shaky in pass protection occasionally Honestly more than Morse I think he's a good center but he's certainly is not this first ballot Hall of famer that we screwed the pooch on He's not Nick Mangold
  17. To be fair AT&t stadium only has four concerts booked through the end of the year right now A few rodeos a few boxing matches and a bunch of soccer matches Soccer has zero appeal in Buffalo basically.. neither does the rodeo So they have four concerts and a few boxing That's not mega cool huge events happening all the time to be fair... Like nobody cares about a rodeo in Buffalo And every single stadium study showed it does nothing for the local economy big picture
  18. I mean if he completely blows Martin out of the water I'm sure they will keep him But all NFL players know camp bodies is a real thing... Not everybody can make the roster... The bills will bring in an undrafted quarterback to throw balls to wide receivers for repetition too And he's not going to make the team either... But if you're a good teammate and a hard worker, with a little bit of talent.. word will get out to other teams and you'll get a call
  19. There's about five or six teams that have kept a kickoff specialist in recent years even if for short stints ... The Patriots had two kickers active versus US 2 seasons ago No team keeps a holding specialist They are not even comparable Because you need extra legs throughout mini camp and training camp sometimes An NFL punter only has x amount of good punts in his leg every year... So somebody else punting or kicking off still helps returners and keeps a leg fresher A boxer can't fight 20 times in a year... You can overextend kicking leg so you at least want somebody in MC or TC usually so returners can get practice Even if it's a udfa punter so your returners gets more reps
  20. The mental aspect of being a center is extremely tough as you know Being able to read and evaluate the front every play and get the right protections in place takes high football IQ Which is why the best centers were always extremely tough athletic and smart as hell It's the perfect combination
  21. You certainly don't want a turnstile as a center You can certainly put the wrong guy back there... But yes there's not a lot of pure 0T who are just lined up across from the center all day and just give them hell anymore Graham Barton from Duke was a 3-year left tackle... Who had like four starts at center as a freshman... But he has been groomed as a college left tackle his whole career But he's honestly one of my favorite if not my favorite center prospect in the draft I love getting that tackle athleticism and bringing him back to center
  22. Let's get this straight No line position in the NFL is easy to play... When I say physically the easiest... I mean there are more lineman in the NFL who can play center then tackle... And there are more people that can play center than guard... There are a lot of college/nfl guards and tackles that can physically play center... There are less college/nfl centers that could also play guard and tackle A left tackle has to be 6'5 320 and move like a basketball forward.. physically very tough... The modern NFL is now putting the best speed rushers over the right tackle So he also has to be very athletic and big... Jason Kelce is a Hall of Fame center but he is physically not even big enough to play guard.. those guys are 320 lb... He's 280 It's the least physically imposing position... But you have to be the smartest Again none of this means a center is weak or not athletic... There's just more NFL quality lineman who can physically play center than other positions
  23. Well like the guy above me said Centers including Jason Kelce admit its physically the easiest They have the highest percentage of double team blocks and the lowest percentage of one-on-one blocks Most centers are doing combination blocks with a guard not taking a nose tackle one on one That might only happen a few snaps a game They are usually combination blocking and moving up to the second level or anchoring and helping a guard in pass protection
  24. Yes which is why I'm always leery about taking center in the first round... Even if a lot of good centers go late first Because there are a plethora of offensive lineman with center experience, who just wound up at guard or tackle in college... But with a little bit of grooming can naturally slide back to the center position.. It's always been physically the easiest to play... You need to find somebody who has it upstairs
