    They only give you one fry?  That really sucks unless it's a curly fry that if you unwind it....it's 10 feet long.

     

    No it’s a regular order of French fries lol

     

    they only have a small or regular 

     

    I just bought some Sahlens and am about to grill some footlongs up!

    This is probably blasphemy, but I never liked Ted's that much. I always get a chili dog, and their chili sucks. I prefer Louie's if I am getting a hot dog. 

     

    If you are a fan of chili I can see why you like Louies because their sauce

    A fair opinion to give. You posted the "country boy" comment in response to a post stating that Allen was from California and has injured his shoulder/clavicle a few times. I guess the implication was wide open to interpretation, because I was looking for the connection between yours and what you quoted. 

     

    All good. 

     

    I might have quoted the wrong post 

     

    I quoted the one about him from California because him and Rosen are both native to California but have had completely different upbringings 

     

    one on a tennis court in country clubs, the other working on a farm in Firebaugh

    Allen being a country kid is not mutually exclusive from being from California. The state has mountains and deserts, grazing country, farm land, rivers, the ocean, alpine lakes (and more!). It is not just LA and the Bay Area. 

     

    Viva Allen el Californiano!

     

    Obviously 

     

    My point was most people who farm or grow up on farms have good work ethics 

     

    They usually aren’t lazy

    You don't think the fact that Josh Allen was 6'3" and 180 lbs when he graduated HS may have had something to do with it?  He wasn't a physical specimen with a big arm and sky-high physical potential then, so he didn't draw the interest due to a big guy with a big arm and big physical potential.  Because he wasn't.

     

    There's also the HS he played at.  Fact that even Zeke Elliot had slower recruiting and fewer offers than you might think an RB with his chops would have drawn, due to playing at a small college prep school in St Louis instead of a big "football powerhouse" school in Texas etc.   College recruiters simply did not have Firebaugh on their circuit, any more than they had John Burroughs School.  (Next RB out of there way less talented than Zeke, but got way more looks.)

     

    You're right on about the "rural living doesn't automatically impart a better work ethic", but by all accounts Allen's folks are hard workers and expected their boys to pitch in.  Right on too rural areas are awful, awful for drug addiction and child abuse, in large part due to lack of opportunity and poverty.  Farming still relatively prosperous in Fresno County though.  Not like the gutted heartland here.

     

    Also Heisman winner and #1 overall pick Baker mayfield only had 4 D1 offers coming out of HS

     

    and only 1 major BCS offer (Washington State)

     

    with Rice, florida Atlantic and New Mexico... quite the pickings

    We are going with the 4-3 3 DT set huh?

    It’s been done before... especially with a 43 under 

     

    the Bills a few years ago rolled with Mario, Dareus, Kyle, and Allen Branch at end

     

    Branch was 6’6 350... but with decent quickness can play an under end

    I wouldn't want to see that package unless it's once in a long while to throw the offensive team off - for a very specific reason.  

     

    That is obviously a unique package for passing downs with the ability to stop run but we are better set up for something like that then a typical dime package with 1 LBr

     

    this lets you stuff the run a bit better than your typical nickel package as well

     

    Humber will probably be the 3rd backer again unless Vallejo shows up

    Good thing she had the chest protector!

     

    Don't/can't baseball players (especially Little Leaguers) die getting hit in chest with a ball... I know it was puck though.

     

    They do sell heart protectors and I’m sure it’s possible but it’s probably way more likely to get killed by a line drive to the face

     

    I took a liner to the chest once and I guess I have pecs of steel because it didn’t effect me to the shock of the coach

    You are correct.  I believe they want him to be versatile enough to be a Mike as well as outside on occasion, we are going to have to be creative if we are ever going to fix that matchup. I guess that is asking to much of a 20 yr old rookie...this year. Hell line him up on the outside on Gronk if that is where they put him, Edmunds has  more speed than gronk does and bet on wingspan.  You going to beat a Brady/Belichek/Gronk combo you have to be creative and take chances.

     

    Of course.

     

    Honestly in passing situations I would be a big fan of a sub package Nickel 3-3-5

     

    Phillips, Star, Kyle on line

     

    Weakside- Humber. Mike- Milano. Sam- Tremaine

     

    that would give Tremaine the flexibility to match up all over especially with a TE

  9. 2 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said:

    Finally we might have a guy that can actually cover Gronk without holding him (#27) every other play but i think this year will be tough on the rookie with Belichek/Brady

     

    I’m sure he will matchup at points but Mikes usually cover RBs out of the backfield with OLBs on the TE in a base 43

     

    heck McDaniels lines Gronk out wide so he has to be covered by a CB lol

    Dimarco is actually very capable in the pass game, Dennison was just dull and super basic , look at the impact he had in ATL under Shanahan in 2016

     

    He has 44 catches in 6 seasons with a career high of 13 catches 

     

    capable yes, dangerous not really.

    I don't really consider BFLo NorthEast... Its 500 miles from Chicago... In the mid-400s away from Boston & New York... But it has to be placed in a region, guess it's NorthEast!

     

    New York as a state is definitely a north eastern state.

     

    you can regionalize Buffalo I guess to Great Lakes region but New York is definitely a State in North Eastern US if you had to place it like you said lol

    Hottest summer?  Huh?

     

    BFLo cooler summers (drier?), warmer/wetter (snow) winters.

     

    Here (Illiana area) it is hot summers (wetter), cold drier/cold winters.

     

    Well Illinois isn’t the north east .

     

    but I remember I read last year that Buffalo has the highest average temperature of any North east City 

     

    maybe it’s BS

    Was that taken of you right after the Dalton TD pass to break the drought? Looks like happy times! CELEBRATE!!!  

     

     

    To be fair, I didn’t see that coming either. 

     

    It was actually right after I found out I didn’t have Ebola ?

    The 6-7 reps referred to are reps with the 1's.  There would have been position drills, 7-on-7, then team, mostly work with the 3's.  Overall in the evening surely Allen got far more than 6-7 reps.

     

    We don't know what was going on, but football is an emotional, competitive game and to get where he is from no college offers and a letter writing campaign,  Allen has to have some of that emotional, competitive fire under the "aw shucks" calm country boy demeanor.    Who knows why, but it also has to be a pretty short incident since 716 didn't see it.  Maybe he's been working on technique and with the nerves of camp he reverted and he's mad at himself.

     

     

     

    Sorry, I saw Allen have about 6-7 first team reps.

     

    Thanks for mentioning that Hapless,he had more throughout the drills and day
