    I'm taking some time to adjust to the new designations. "Questionable" used to ALWAYS mean that they were playing on Sunday.  Now, it seems like more of a combo of "probable" and "doubtful."

     

     

    They removed the "Probable" designation several years ago, so all injuries that would have been "probable" in the past now get lumped into "questionable".

  2. I don't know about you guys but I would much rather have OBJ lined up outside than Kumerow if/when Diggs or Davis get hurt, like Davis is right now.

     

    I wouldn't touch McCaffrey's contract with a 10-mile pole, to say nothing of the fact you would need to give up assets for a RB made of glass.

  3. So the bills right now have

    -Tre

    -Hyde

    -Jackson

    -Oliver

    -Settle

    -Milano

    -Philips

     

    injured on defense.  That's 6 starters and one key backup.  After two weeks.  Absolutely insane.  Hopefully the depth is there, the rookie corners at least looked solid.

  4. The easy comparison is Mario Williams to the same team, even playing the same position.  Mario's career obviously flamed out in the end but that was a huge signing when it happened and he was a pro bowl+all pro player and he had a few great years here.

     

    The main difference is where the Bills were as a team when the signings happened.  When we signed Mario the Bills were still stuck in the drought and hoped he could be our defensive savior.  When we signed Von the Bills were already super bowl contenders looking for a way to get over the last hump and signing a future HOFer is (hopefully) going to accomplish that.

    Hold everything! 53% of ST snaps last night vs 18% for Kumerow 

     

     

    I definitely want Hodgins to make it over Kumerow, but I'm pretty sure Hodgins getting all of the snaps on special teams last night was so they would have more film of him on special teams snaps, not evidence that he's making the team over Kumerow.  There is already a ton of tape of Kumerow on special teams snaps, they needed something to compare them.  

     

    I do think making the effort to give Hodgins the snaps there is a good sign for him, since (to me) it means they want a reason to keep him over Kumerow.

  6. Kumerow is getting the last WR slot over Hodgins because of how much this coaching staff values special teams contributions for backups.

     

    I'm just happy we're at the point where our 6th string WR is a real contributor.
