For a couple hundred bucks you can have one printed in color at your local Office Max/Depot!

That’s fair. Maybe it’s not a big deal at all. Still wish Hodgins would leave a little to the imagination. We as fans don’t need to know which way he decides to run based on the defenders position. I also think it was super unnecessary for a player with zero career snaps who may finally get his shot, to jump on a pod and reveal so much. With all that has been said…I’m a Hodgins guy and hope he sticks around. I can’t see Kumerow’s upside on teams outweighing what this guy brings to the table as a legit outside WR backup.

I legitimately want opinions...but when 10 replies pour in minutes after my post, it was obvious the video wasn't watched therefore a general response saying "nothing to worry about here" isn't gonna be accepted with open arms. The guy was on there telling which formations are dynamic and which are static and what they are taught to do based on which coverage...like c'mon man we have a new coordinator trying to get things going...don't go teach people what he's teaching you! And stop telling defenders what you look for pre snap and what your reaction is based on a certain look. Giving the opponent any little edge for the sake of a podcast appearance is irresponsible AF.

No but it’s definitely foolish and naive to think an actual Bills player breaking down scheme wouldn’t be used by the opposition. Thad Brown suggested cover 1s coverage that didn’t even include players was giving away too much. It clearly is a thing. Similar to how people on here don’t think players read these boards. I know for a FACT a number of them do!

I believe he will definitely hear about this from the coaches. He said entirely too much. He spoke on which formations have variations and which don’t. Also explained specifically how the routes change based on specific coverages and looks. He explained his very own decision making process based on how the defender is playing him. What sense does it make to break down the specific nuances on how you win your routes?? For those saying teams wouldn’t use a podcast interview of a player breaking down his own tendencies…you’re a fool!

Not true…the arguments show me people didn’t watch the video. I’m looking for an argument besides “people would know this information anyway” which isn’t true if you actually watch the video. Thank you!!! Someone who actually watched the video!!

so you won’t concede there is a difference when the player themselves is telling you rather than an outsider trying to make educated assumptions without being in the players brain? Starting to think almost no one who responded actually watched the video to see what I was talking about. This wasn’t your usual player break down. It’s the most in depth breakdown I’ve ever heard a player publicly do on their own game and tendencies and how they make their decisions. Just seems COMPLETELY unnecessary ESPECIALLY from a player trying to finally crack a roster. KEEP THINGS TO YOURSELF! The NFL is a game of inches and even the smallest advantage can tip a game! Don’t give away unnecessary info then wonder why your stuff isn’t as effective moving forward!!

MUCH different when the player themselves is breaking everything down. Leaves nothing to the imagination. Hodgins fully broke down how he thinks and makes decisions on plays. Just seems totally unnecessary to gift wrap this info for opponents. I’ve never seen it broken down like this! This is Bill breaking down OTHER TEAMS…not him explaining what his own team does and how they make decisions on audibles on play variations

I tried to make this thread last night but it was inappropriately merged with a thread on totally different subject matter. When Thad Brown hated on Cover 1 last week, I wasn’t a fan of how he went about it and thought it was sour grapes. However, while watching the broadcast last night that featured Hodgins, I became more and more uncomfortable with how much he was sharing. THIS IS NOT A HODGINS POST…it’s a post focused on how much is considered safe to share on a show like this. Here is my original post for reference:

I agree…was just responding to someone else. I much rather a woman who does great at her job and not there to be a pretty face. With all things being equal tho, it is TV and not radio so looks do indeed play a part and that goes for men and women. Just the reality.

Think “Bail Inspector” That should fix it 😉

Would help to post the vid for folks… …but yeah I agree. Wasn’t the prettiest play and had he got off clean maybe he scores…OR he got even more yards cause running into his blocker moved a few defenders out of place to make the tackle sooner (don’t have access to all 22). Wasn’t like he did it on purpose tho so it was def clumsy but he still had one of the longest runs of the weekend.

716 was a good local bar to catch games at (even owned by the Pegulas) but they sold it after the pandemic hit and I'm not sure about it right now under new ownership but may be worth looking into.

She had a Kim K like transformation but started out lower tier and ended up lower tier but still much better than her original look

Would make sense if he is replacing an IR'd WR. He would come on a cheap deal sense he's only be playing the last quarter of the season plus playoffs. Wouldn't make sense if WR corp is healthy and firing on all cylinders.

She's cute and all but that herpe on her lip is a huge turn off 🤢

Only 1 of 2 players I could find claimed off first cuts. With our “embarrassment of riches” I could see this happening every cut time along the way. It’s definitely an indictment of BBBs job ability!

Thugs!

Why do some people insist on the narrative that teams won’t trade for players they know will get cut. Simply not true! A cut player will have to fall to them on waivers or choose their team. Why wouldn’t they part with a late round pick to ensure they get their guy???

Our D Line is gonna be opening up a can or two on opposing OLines all season!

Marginal talents don’t win league MVPs nor have THREE TIMES as many wins as losses as starting QB in the NFL. Let’s not go that far with it.

Maybe you all missed where the Ravens wanted to get a deal done and Jackson refused at the time.

Autocorrect

His opinions were often not on point. I found myself correcting him several times to my girlfriend who was totally confused with how he was explaining things sometimes.

Barkley looked far better…granted against lesser competition but so far he is winning the backup race. Hodgins is a must over Kumerow…backup outside WR way more important than a special teams guy!
