DFT

My best guess is how quickly herpes can spread if left untreated.

Not at all. I’m not as concerned with the Dugger pick as I am the rest. And I don’t think any of us can really say for sure how this draft will fall. We’ve never had the variables that this draft will unfortunately have.

Thank God he’s not....

He works for mighty taco’s B-team.

Greg Rosenthal’s reasoning for some of these rankings is just adorable...

Are you asking just Bills players who have reported out of shape for camp or OTAs the last few years or have been held out due to conditioning concerns/ failed fitness test? Kelvin Benjamin Marcell Dareus Dion Dawkins Cordy Glenn Karlos Williams To name a few big names from around the league (last few years) the list grows. Here’s a few... Leveon Bell Mike Wallace Rob Gronkowski D Revis Robert Nkemdiche Mcnabb Haynesworth Rolando McCLain

Yep. ES was most likely a fallback option if the Vikings chose not to accept the offer.

Dogs and cats living together....

Yea, I’m not sure about that. I thought the same, but they definitely look like they’re open for their high-level clientele. Maybe they have some procedures in place, but honestly I have no idea. I hope they are open with a contingency on being tested.

Looks like Humble TX. Big time program there (ASP) and a great facility if that’s where he is.

RIP, Mike!!

(Bill O’Brien has entered the chat...)

Good post! I don’t think there’s much to this, but all bets are off with O’Brien. It wouldn’t be nearly as impossible as the cap restriction shows (at first glance), however. It would need to involve top-end contracts like Gilmore’s, and of course Thuney (nearly 15 mil on tag). It would take some finagling, but anything is possible. I just sincerely doubt it will happen. A 1st and the inclusion of Gilmore/ Thuney should allow, but again, a much greater mind than mine is also needed...

The NFL stands to lose money, hence RG’s refusal to comply (at the moment). It’s all about the money.

They are, but aren’t allowed to make them mandatory. The regiments are inclusive with nutrition guidelines and best practices. I got to see a sample of one last Tuesday. Very generic, but lays pretty solid guidelines on the BMI/ Macro focus. Very simple and easy to follow.

When you think back over the years of big-time players reporting to OTAs and Camps out of shape, it’s an indicator of who they are, away from the game and how much discipline they have to themselves (as ugly as it sounds). Extra time beyond team-influence will potentially effect some pretty big names this year. The regiments that are going out are absolutely critical for these players to dedicate themselves to, especially with team activities indefinitely suspended. Players won’t be able to take themselves for granted during the lull. Especially the guys in the trenches whose bodies depend on a cardio regiment at their size.

There really is no S&C aside from regiments being sent to players on a schedule. This is where foundational culture gets tested. With activities shut down, what these players are doing with themselves, their methods of staying in shape, communicating and developing will be on full display. Work ethic is an absolute in these situations. Guys that think they can coast are going to struggle this year and it could create a paradigm for preparedness going forward. Right now, the players have to own themselves. They are 100% accountable, which lends credence to the concern of what this rookie class will be if/when the year begins. We may see even more draft pick trading in lieu of this. It’s unprecedented.

Bottom 10, definitely. But a top 3 coach should be able to compensate for some of that. .500 team would be a big accomplishment barring anything unforeseen.

I think Cam’s detractors come in two flavors. Those that can’t get beyond their own impressions of the polarizing character he is (which is unfortunate, because there’s so much good there) and those like me that are concerned with his downside due to the absolute pounding he’s taken. There’s a great argument to be made that Cam is VERY similar in character to how many remember a young Jim Kelly to be. Cocky, determined and sometimes, even to his detriment. But when the chips are down, that’s the EXACT guy you want leading your team. On the other side though, is the question that needs to be asked given his injury history... Is his potential downside worth risking Allen’s potential upside? That’s the thing I struggle answering, personally. The fans in Charlotte are rightfully upset. Cam did a lot for the community. He would be a tremendous “Buffalo guy”, no question. But my main question still stands given his injury history (at least for me).

Agree 100%! Some could argue Watkins, Woods (the one who got away!) and Goodwin, but they’re not nearly what we have today (in my opinion). The more this move has begun to settle the more intelligent and forward-thinking it presents itself as.

Wow, very interesting signing!

Watkins... That’s the move that will open things up most likely. His will either be re-worked (which he probably won’t do) or released.

I’m pretty hopeful, but that’s probably just the “optimism amidst downtime”, talking. The good thing is that even though things are pretty much at a standstill, the NFL is still working through their options and are making really strong decisions. With the exception of Sean P and his affinity for ordering cheesesteaks during quarantine. But seriously, for as much grief as Goodell gets (and some deservedly), he’s a “war-time” commissioner who’s motivated by money and profitability. If there’s a way to make the year happen in a worst-case scenario, my money’s on him getting it done.

I’m good. But in all sincerity, enjoy your day! ?
