First post on your 7th account? ☺️ @bearstobillsits a joke about people using burner accounts man

And also gain us a win when bass hits from 54 with no time left

I know they've always been popular. I'm saying post-lockout they really hit a boom In popularity The amount of sabres merchandise sold pre and post lockout was insane

Again just because this isn't a high level amateur football area doesn't mean this isn't a football town. They aren't mutual You can be a football fan without playing ?. And buffalo has always been rabid for football And I know players who have gone D1 and to the league from here. There is good football in pockets, it's just not like Texas That doenst mean people don't love football. I've met way more people in Buffalo who don't watch hockey than football It's a sports town in general but football been Uber popular since the 20s and the all Americans

There just isn't good local football here for the most part. There's a massive difference between not being a good high school football area, and actually having passion for the game Buffalo is football crazy and has been for 80 years. We just don't play high-level football in Western New York for the most part But we play good hockey That doesn't mean we're more of a hockey city than a football city. It just means we breed better hockey athletes there's no prerequisites that says you need to play the sport at a high level to be passionate fans. Buffalo does play high-level hockey That doesn't mean that it has more support than the bills or is more popular

That's really debatable. there has been wild support for football teams here since the buffalo all-amwrocans in the 1920s. Way before there was a hockey team the sabres became massively popular right after the lockout when we became really good. I don't think they were more popular than the bills in the 70s 80s or 90s Almost everybody in Buffalo loves the bills. There's been tons of people in the city for 40 years who don't follow hockey

Yep. You are the wrecking ball on alot of pull plays Guards and fullbacks coming wide to destroy you... And you need to take them out so the backers and safety can move in for the tackle If you're not willing to take them out. They will find somebody who is

I played high-level corner and sustained many head injuries Pulling guards and tackles and fullbacks, coming at you 15 miles an hour to pancake you.. and you got to fly into them and take them out low.. your angles a little off and you get a helmet into a thigh the size of a tree trunk Corners and safeties smash into each other at 20 miles per hour a good amount They are corners not linebackers, and generally don't have the best form when it comes to tackling. A lot of head injuries are sustained there

You are totally wrong Cornerbacks suffer the most concussions on average in football per year https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/11/09/the-nfl-studied-every-concussion-over-two-seasons-what-happens-next-may-be-up-to-manufacturers/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2017/11/09/cornerbacks-suffer-most-concussions-according-nfl-report/849749001/ Been this way for a while

Of course Men with his size with his strength shouldn't move how he moves

I have watched every snap of Ford at Oklahoma he was a better tackle than guard, that is why I think he needs to have time to develop at tackle, because he has a high ceiling he was a fifth-round guard prospect on my board, his senior season at tackle turned him into a borderline first-round pick I never said he was like Joe Thomas. Somebody said he had short arms for a tackle, and he doesn't. He has average arm length, longer arms and Joe Thomas. And Ford has very quick feet And I watched every single snap of Cody Ford at Oklahoma. His play was much better at tackle than guard, which is why I say he needs development His guard play was not amazing at Oklahoma. It was good. He was about a 5th 6th round pick imo when he changed to right tackle and his play picked up tremendously https://thedraftnetwork.com/player/cody-ford Reading this, some slightly different opinions from scouts. And his footwork is inconsistent, but everybody says he has very quick feet, is a tremendous athlete, and should be slotted at tackle first because his size and athleticism All three of those scouts say guard should be a fall back, and I saw the same thing when I was scouting him. He just has so much talent that you need to try him at tackle, until it fails

I honestly didn't realize he was 27. If he could stay healthy he definitely has a chance to regain form and be a good player in this league

If he stays healthy, he definitely has the mindset and talent to be a Hall of famer he just has to continually work on his craft

Despite what a lot of people think, Ford actually had some good games last year at right tackle. He wasn't complete trash And I didn't realize Williams was only 27. That's actually young

We have two veteran starting right tackles on our roster Again most right tackles don't even start till they're 26 27 years old. Cody Ford has a lot of time to learn the right tackle position.

Yeah he has a higher floor at guard. You can mask weaknesses But we haven't developed the right tackle here in a decade and he's our best chance in the next 2 to 5 years Most tackles peak at 28 to 29 years old. He has tons of game to grow

He has longer arms than Joe Thomas. and rookie tackles usually are thinking a lot more than playing, that's why they're slower The dude is a freak athlete. he went from being a fifth-round guard prospect to a borderline first-round tackle prospect Guards are actually easy to find, tackles aren't and 99% need development

His feet were extremely impressive at Oklahoma. and he's a tremendous athlete for a man that size His tackle play was much better than his junior year of guard, and it takes time to develop tackles There are a lot of good guards in the league, their is a shortage of tackles

If him and Williams are the best pairing on the right side, then you should build chemistry But Williams is a stop Gap and we need a right tackle for the future I think Cody Ford could be a good guard, but his tackle play at Oklahoma was much better. And a man with that size and athleticism sounds like a great person to groom at right tackle

Half the posters here also wanted dawkins to play guard lol You need to develop tackles, it's hard

Pretty sure bojo was top 3 in the league in touchbacks so he's definitely not that accurate inside the 10-yard line

I think we are probably screwed if Fromm has to Play too

If the bills have to play Barkley we are screwed

I do that with Long island iced teas Then get thrown out of Dave and Buster's. I think I'm the real prize here

I bet that's not the only thing she swallows
