It’s a pretty cool game, you play as Josh Allen and crush people. Anyone have thoughts on the new Madden? The sound is a little wonky and receiver drop EVERYTHING so far, but a patch will fix that. Gameplay seems smooth otherwise, seems like OL actually block this year. I haven’t figured out how to get my MUT Josh Allen pre-order bonus yet. Super Joshy 24… discuss!

Hard to get ready to play football when you don’t play football.

I think he means FS/SS are interchangeable, and SLB/MLB/WLB are interchangeable.

I think they expected performance growing pains with Dodson and Bernard. Nard-dog got hurt, and I think the leadership/communication issues with Dodson was unexpected.

If McD actually admits he isn’t happy with the leadership and communication with MLB, that is 10/10 concerning for Dodson. I wouldn’t be shocked if Klein gets meaningful snaps on Saturday. Bernard may get an in-season chance to claim the job, and I wouldn’t be shocked if Doran Williams gets late-season looks at MLB.

I also think we need to acknowledge that one bad year doesn’t re-write the book on him. Allen has previously been elite in the red zone and goal line.

That was pretty entertaining! Why does he remind me of Tom Holland’s Peter Parker?

Dodson is being blamed for the swing by fans, but it was never actually confirmed who did it.

*inaudible bickering* “HEY” ”…oh sorry” 😂 If you ever wondered how much command Allen has on this team, it was just answered.

Redbeard the Conqueror returns.

Needless to say, Blindside II will be a great movie.

My goodness, I completely forgot about him.

We know Kyle Allen is a capable backup QB, and we’ve seen guys struggle to pick up this system. Ultimately I doubt anything changes, no one will be a upgrade over Allen or Barkley at this point. Keenum, Turbisky, and now K. Allen have struggled to pick this system up quickly. I think the best way to solve the QB2 issue is to stop changing them every single year. Hopefully KA9 picks it up well as the year goes on and gets an extension.

Things sound good per the McD presser.

He wasn’t perfect, but it’s a good start.

Tim Settle looked GOOD, been hearing that all camp.

So we draft a tall, athletic LB in the 2nd round next to solve our issues!

Because amateur scouts with a website and a professional looking for specific traits for a specific defensive scheme are the same thing. McD himself has even said Williams will get looks at MLB once he learns the defense.

Dorian Williams is clearly the future MLB for this team. I get he’s listed at 230, but he looks the part of a modern NFL MLB. I could be wrong, but I could’ve sworn Beane admitted they drafted Bernard because they didn’t think they’d have Milano long term. I might be wrong.

Let’s not completely write off Dodson. He’s not Brandon Spikes out there, the kid is a good athlete. Is he a limited athlete? Sure, but the team has stuck with him for 4 years so far. He doesn’t need to be an elite LB, just a 1-2, year place holder.

Yes! Makes me wish I could’ve brought someone who has never been to a game to both.

Very well said!

I truly believe the NFL follows “booking” style where they try to “push” the big market teams. Is it rigged? Absolutely not. Does NFL have their preferred winners? 100%.

One time I went to the 4th preseason game (I believe this was the Vince Young Era) then the home opener a week later. Wild experience haha

The team would be highly foolish to trade any of their roster-locked CB/DE/WR depth like AJE, Dane Jackson, or one of the WRs. The guys who aren’t roster locks, being Shane Ray, Jordan Phillips, Cam Lewis, ext, don’t have much trade value. I’d rather the team try to hide some of them on the PS than trade them for a conditional 6th.
