Correct me if I'm wrong but these guys never pan out especially when drafted in first 2 rds where pressure is on them to contribute right away.
I've seen Corners move to safety as vets and still play on a high level or even mid to late Rd pks like Poyer and Hyde make the transition and become studs but please if anyone here knows of a player that went high in the draft and was able to either move from corner to safety or vis versa and do it at a high level right away. We just recently seen Simmons get drafted high and he was a stud at Clemson and moving to safety derailed his career and he played that postion in college as well as corner and Lber these hybrid tweener types never pan out drafted high the ones that do or the lower Rd pks that get the time and patience from the coaches to make that full transition and if your thinking about flat out using Dejean like in college as a hybrid player on the NFL level that never works as well. So if anyone remembers someone that actually made this transition please add to the chat, thanks.
Cooper will not be a good corner in the NFL as well he has tight hips and gets burned by lower level players in the big ten . I realize he's made some splash plays on tape but thats not gonna help him on the NFL level where u see professionals on a daily basis in practice and at 100% on Sundays.
Has Byrd been wiped from everyone's memories or something? 2nd round pick for us, led the league in INTs as a rookie free safety after playing CB in college.

I believe Bass is going to have a really bad year this year. He is not a lock at all when a crucial kick is needed and I don't trust him either. That missed kick against KC really rubbed me the wrong way. Bass is at best a 50/50 kicker at 50 yards. Butker was house money at 50 yards and more and he out kicked Bass in our own stadium.
I just don't think Bass can be counted on this year when it will need to matter. He has developed a weird motion on all his kicks where it travels 20 to 30 yards and had an immediate fade to the right. I don't know if he can fix this and it is somehow related to how he is striking the ball.
Just not optimistic about him at all this year.
Saying his success "is somehow related to how he is striking the ball" is like saying a QB's accuracy is somehow related to how he is throwing the ball. It's a lot words to say nothing.

Sure, that’s why you run it in practice and see what happens.
I don’t deny that there’s a possibility that blocks go up and render the adjustment moot. But if blocks go up 1% and made FG’s go up 5%, you still win.
Dude...
The higher launch angle would DECREASE range more than the 2 yards you'd be saving by snapping shorter. Also the higher trajectory and increased hangtime would decrease accuracy. This is very much a valid case of "there's a reason they do it this way".
The only time you want to adjust snap depth (which is 8 yards, not 7) is to actually LENGTHEN the snap on long FGs, so that you can drive the ball with a lower angle for more distance while still getting it over the blockers. The tradeoff for that is that gives edge rushers/blockers a shallower more direct angle to get around the edge.
*edit*
You also clearly greatly underestimate how many extra blocks there would be. The rate of blocks (or the required launch angle to get over the blockers and subsequent loss of range) is literally exponential the closer you get. It wouldn't be a 1% increase moving in 2 yards, it would be more something like double for 1 yard closer, and quadruple for 2 yards closer.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/476461/mass-shootings-in-the-us-by-legality-of-shooters-weapons/
“100 of the mass shootings in the United States between 1982 and December 2023 involved weapons which were obtained legally; a clear majority. Only 16 incidents involved guns that were obtained illegally.”
They don't disclose what they consider "obtained legally" to mean. They also parrot the popular misconception that it's easy to obtain guns through the mythical "gun show loophole". Private sales can happen depending on the state, but people aren't selling their private collection pieces to gang bangers from the big cities.
I've seen "obtained legally" counted as meaning ORIGINALLY obtained legally, as in purchased new from a dealer and not smuggled into the country directly to the black market. This means guns that were stolen from a legal owner, then get used by whatever gang member does a shooting gets counted as a "legally obtained" gun. They also count when someone passes a background check they shouldn't have, because screwy policing led to stuff not getting properly logged into their permanent records.

You could have just said we got outcoached
Coaching didn't make us be missing half our defensive starters for any given game.
Coaching did hurt a little playing man coverage 10 yards deep on 3rd and 4 against the Bengals, but he's gone now.

The one reason - if it goes to a third possession, it's sudden death and if you score you win.
That's the only reason why I can think you'd do it.
That's a pretty MAJOR and valid reason.

There will never be a MVP with an 11-6 team that has committed 23 turnovers, unless they've broken a record of some sort. It's just not happening.
Dude, Josh collects records like Pokémon cards. Shall we book a weekend in the conference room to go over the list? He also already has more gear being displayed in the HoF than most people already in the HoF.

How is it wild? It has to do with the game day experience. The song is not a classic and has no bearing to anything Buffalo, so why continue playing it every home game? Is the song deserving of being a Bills tradition on gameday? It’s a valid question in my opinion.No, they do not.
People who are determined to be miserable will find any and all reasons to be miserable. I bet you're the guy all the coffee shop workers roll their eyes about when they see you walk in.

Complaining about strong opponents is a quintessential "get good" moment. Top teams already get pitted against each other in the current scheduling algorithm, that's about as fair as it can get.

It's wild you care so much to be embarrassed about a catchy bassy song that's easy to chant along with. Why does it need to have relevance to Buffalo? It's background noise.

Yea I remember Dawkins having a wing eating contest for the OL before bengals game… akin to this
dunno- Olympic athletes don’t do this ***** - I guarantee Tom Brady or Peyton manning didn’t do this crap. It’s 100% , 24/7 focus leading up to competition.
Lol are you kidding, Olympic villages (the "camps" the athletes stay in during the games) are the most debauched and hedonistic places this side of Caligula's birthday party.
You sound like you'd be a nightmare manager to work under, because people are HUMAN and the stoic 100% of the time serious professional thing is NOT what most people function best with. You're exhibiting confirmation bias by citing the 2 QBs you believe lived that lifestyle (while hilariously getting the Olympic athletes wrong) and ignoring everyone who didn't. Counting the hits and ignoring the misses as they say.

Social media police are out of control … I just finished serving a three day ban on Facebook for something I posted … in 2016! 🤬
This was an automated ban the instant I posted it. I wasn't even given that warning alert that "what you're about to post may be bad yadda yadda". Worst part is when you try to appeal and explain the context, they only give you enough room to type like one small sentence.
-
I'm glad embeds work because I'm waiting for my "violent speech" ban appeal on Twitter to go through lol.
I was responding to people saying Josh leaning back a bit was proof of a fake slide, so I said "Do me a favor for science. Run full speed towards a brick wall and then try to suddenly stop or cut 90 degrees along the wall without leaning. Report back to me how many teeth you lose."
Of course I'm not literally saying to run head first into a brick wall (my point is that you will naturally lean to stop), but their automated system took it as a threat or whatever lol.

I believe the Music City Miracle was a legal lateral.
I believe the second fumble in this game was out of bounds by touching his helmet.
I have no problem calling out dirty hits by Bills players or bad ref calls that favored us.
That was nothing close to being a fake slide, nevermind a blatant one.

But... Do you think he should just "man up" and play tough guy? Would that not send a message to defenders to give it their best shot?
Just maybe - Josh is sending a message that "if you mess with me - I will try and make sure you get caught".
Maybe Josh is trying to make sure the refs notice.
Even with all that - players STILL take cheap shots. I don't know about you guys, but I don't like other teams players taking cheap shots at our players.
About the flopping, it's important to point out Allen only embellishes ACTUALLY ILLEGAL hits. He's not out there flopping if you look at him the wrong way. I see it like sure it's possible to depend on the police happening to notice that my store was robbed and do something about it, or I can call the police and bring it to their attention.

It was a bad call because it looked like hit Allen on the head when in fact he never did.
The game is too fast for the on field officials. Every play should be reviewed by an independent ref with video.
4 hours ago, Meatloaf63 said:except it doesn’t matter where you hit a sliding qb. They will call any contact especially from the waste up.
Yeah I was going to say the QB is ruled down the instant he start his slide so it doesn't matter.
And if the defender supposedly started his hit/left his feet "long before Allen slides", I have to point out that he would have been targeting Allen's knees. You should NEVER need to leave your feet to make a tackle anyways, it's just bad form. You lose any ability to let up or protect yourself/others once you go airborne.

Noticed this a ton this year. They are into their kick before the ball is snapped and it's hardly ever called.
They are abusing a misinterpretation of the "repositioning" loophole. Supposedly, as long as the snap gets off before that rear foot lands down, you can't prove they weren't legally repositioning. Which is ridiculous because anyone with working eyes can tell that they aren't repositioning when they do that but they get the egregious benefit of the doubt.

Orlovsky pointed out that most of the time the Bills just left Parsons unblocked. We'd run the other way and he'd get lost in the wash.
Cowgirls: "Haha, Parsons will take Allen down, and Bland will pick him off! You won't be able to pass on us!"
Brady: "Your terms are acceptable."
Cowgirls: "...what do you mean by that?"
Brady: "..."

Very brutal. And not condoning the hit like that.
What was his other option though? Slow down and then hit him? (NOT being sarcastic)
The problem is defenders always wanting the big HIT. Not tackle, not down by mere contact, they want the big punishing HIT.
With the receiver diving like that, he's already going to the ground so all a big hit accomplishes is an attempt to jar the ball loose. Problem is a pass breakup by decapitation is easier than actually having to make a more skillful, less career shortening and less highlight reel making play.
I have a problem with Cooper Dejean type players
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
He was still in the league less than a decade ago (heck, he's still only 37, younger than me), so thats hardly ancient history. I'm not advocating for Dejean at all, but the assertion that there aren't any in memory is false.
