The only thing shocking .. although I suppose it’s par for the course at this point… is Dems going after speech. Congrats on your support of the thought police. Your masters appreciate the unquestioned compliance. I don’t back Trump. Read through my posts. I support DeSantis and think Trump is a clown. I can also call a spade a spade, regardless of how I feel about someone.

If you believe that this indictment today is just and/or that our democracy literally hung in the balance on J6, then you’re an idiot.. and I’m sick of pretending you’re not. By “you’re” I’m referring to anyone that believes this to be true. You may or may not fall into that category.

Lol… this country is a joke.

This. He was a 5th round pick.. It's not absurd to cut or trade him. I think a lot of us were blinded by the overreaction of the draft community to us getting him where we did.

No, we didn't basically add one guy to our OL. Did the Chiefs not build an elite OL (in part) due to drafting two top tier IOL in Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith? By all accounts, Torrence was the best pure Guard in the Draft. He slid because teams (ours included) value position flex on the OL. Given we have so much of that, we can take a swing on a guy who can only play Guard. McGovern is entering his prime years, and is an above average pass blocker / slightly below average run blocker up to this point. In today's NFL, that's the DNA of a good Offensive Lineman with some further potential. Bates may start the season at RG, and if he does, ok.. fine.. he's solid. However, we added two big pieces to the OL. Two guys who can reasonably be expected to be upgrades to the OL. No guarantees, and maybe they flop, but two big additions were made.. not one.

I think we're getting a glimpse of it with all the dropping into coverage they have guys like Rousseau, Floyd and AJE doing. Simulated pressures with LB's and DB's blitzing while a DE drops into a zone or carries a receiver down the field.

He dropped a big play late in the season... forgot who it was against. I'm just not sold on him. Harty has elite speed and playmaking ability. Sherfield is solid and an elite blocking WR. Those two compliment Diggs and Davis, seemingly, very well. Shakir, from what I remember, struggled heavily in blocking as a rookie and is kind of a tweener body type. Talented player in space, but we have Diggs, Davis, Cook, Knox, Kincaid etc., to feed before we focus on getting the ball to Shakir on designed plays. Rookie contract may be his saving grace, but he seems to be struggling a bit more than I'd like to hear for a second year player in this system.

Same. I've heard only good things about Diggs-Davis-Harty-Sherfield. Shakir has been a mixed bag, and if I'm the Bills, I don't want to risk subjecting Shorter to waivers - plus he provides ST's ability while we develop him. That gives me 4 locks, and 1 guy who probably wouldn't clear waivers, provides ST ability and gives us a developmental hedge/true outside WR if Gabe leaves after this season. I wouldn't be opposed to moving Shakir for a Day 3 pick if there's suitors... especially if someone like Isabella steps up as a return man and/or we want to keep an extra TE given the battle between Morris & Sternberger, along with our increased 12 personnel identity.

Shakir seems to be the most polarizing player of camp so far. Some reporters think he's been solid/stock up. Others keep highlighting him having an issue with drops.

MLB is the only spot we got worse at. Our secondary has question marks, which - if answered positively - puts us in the running for a Top 5 unit in the league. Milano is an elite OLB. DL is vastly improved, and if Von comes back at even 80% of what he was … this is a Top 5 DL (on paper) with Von, Rousseau, Floyd, Oliver, Jones and Ford. If you take into account Allen & Gabe’s injuries last year, with the additions of Kincaid, Torrence and McGovern .. I think it’s safe to say that every positional unit on Offense is much improved. Singletary isn’t bad.. but I hated him on this offense. Give me speed or power at that position. We now have both. Areas of concern: -MLB -CB2 -OL -Health (Von, Hyde, Tre) We should be able to live with the drop off at MLB. We didn’t invest heavily there, and we will have weaknesses moving forward with Allen’s contract hitting. CB2 and OL do not have excuses.. CB2 should be a strength given the investment and OL should, at the very least, be a middle of the pack unit once we get into the regular season.

Yea.. I very much appreciate what Elon has done with the platform, but he shoots from the hip with his ideas quite a bit. My guess is he wants X to become much more than what the Twitter brand was synonymous with, so this is him taking a short term hit to accomplish long term rebranding.

??? Twitter (X) is easily the go to app.

The way people talk about Bernard, you'd think we have Deuce Vaughn out there at MLB..

Especially since we have evidence of Elam performing in the biggest moments. Two playoff games. He stepped up and played well in both.

Just had a 10 minute segment live from Bills camp on NFLN

If Cook can just be serviceable in pass pro, he’s going to be a problem. He already showed last year that he can run between the tackles. And we know he has the speed to get outside, while possessing wide receiver skills in the passing game.

Whew… that’s dirty. It also points to the Colts calling Taylor’s bluff … they clearly believe he’s lying. Colts fans seem to be siding with Irsay on this, in a quick glance at their board.

If y’all hit on Ross, I’m going to lose my mind. That guy was elite at Clemson before the injury. Y’all already did it once with Trey Smith. Going to need this golden touch to wear off of your GM, thank you very much.

Here’s my issue with this… -We hear how we had to pay Oliver because we need a proven 3T in this defense. -We hear how we need pass rushers off the edge, because well - I agree - this is obvious. -We hear how important high level Safety play is for the defense. -We needed to invest in CB2 opposite Tre .. that was the prevailing worry pre-draft two years ago. -Now we hear how important MLB is to the defense… Ok, we can’t have All-Pro’s at every position. Not EVERY position is imperative to this defense. If so, why tf do we have a defensive minded HC in Sean McDermott? When healthy, we trot out a starting 11 of: Von - Daquan - Oliver - Rousseau Milano - Johnson - ??? Tre - Elam/Jackson/Benford Hyde - Poyer With good depth at every position. I mean, cmon…. This defense better be a Top 5-6 unit based on talent alone.

This is insane … The DOJ is beyond repair.

Agree on a lot of this, but im not trading Gabe unless someone blows us away with an offer. Even then, we have a Super Bowl roster and I’m not sure what trade package could be more impactful than Davis playing on a contract year and us getting a RD3 comp pick if he balls out and leaves in FA.

If he hits, it’s not even that he was viewed as the best TE … Kincaid was viewed as a Top 10 talent by quite a few draft guys. The TE positional label may end up being the only reason he was available where we got him.

I think the hope with a Gabe Davis Year 4 jump is due to the flashes he’s shown, mixed in with the fact he’s dealt with injuries quite a bit. The downside.. those injuries aren’t exactly one-offs.. he’s dealt with them since college. Reports from camp are he looks quicker and faster.. I will say that a healthy quicker faster Gabe Davis, with a legit option in the middle of the field in Knox/Kincaid, is likely in for a big season. Just depends if he can stay healthy.

Between Irsay’s comments on Taylor and Jerry Jones on Martin, these GM’s are on one this week.. yeesh.
