For those of you that aren’t thrilled about the Keon Coleman pick…remember one thing. Word came out that he was the last receiver left on Allen’s wish list. Thats a big deal. Why would Beane not want to consult the face of his franchise when trying to get him more weapons?
This tells me that Allen’s wish list included Harrison, Nabers, Odunze, Coleman, and probably Thomas. Think of it this way…if worthy, pearsall, or legette were on that list, they would have taken them at 28, or at most 32 for legette. I’m sure Beane would have liked to have traded down another time, but he could have risked losing Coleman.
I wasn’t overly thrilled with Coleman being the guy, but while he might lack separation on tape, and a good 40 time, he also had amazing splits in the 40 and other drills. The drills are where the football comes out in these guys…you know, catching the ball. Haha. Anyways…when you look at the bigger picture with Coleman, it’s not a bad pick at all. The guy is really athletic, has great hands and body control…and most of all…Allen wanted him.
But he doesn't have great hands. I could see this pick going either way because Coleman isn't elite in any one area and because Allen gets the most out of receivers.
Worried about the pick because he catches a bit of passes using his body, bobbles catches, which can lead to contact drops in key moments; he also doesn't have burner speed and defenders always seem to be right there with him.
He's too similar to Gabe Davis (who was taken in the 4th rd.) to really feel great about the pick, but I feel like the pick could work out, because Allen can put the ball on him in a hurry, minimizing those drops that will take place in more physical play, he seems adept at creating enough space between himself and defender during battles for the ball, and despite reminding me of Davis he seems like a better route runner and is way shiftier in space than Davis.
Hopefully the OC, Allen, and Coleman make it work, otherwise this will likely go down as another offensive selection that was made a round or two too early.

Feels like the FO hasn't forgiven itself over how it handled and loss Matt Araiza and is trying to find comfort by signing another SDSU special teams product and hoping he pans out.
-
I like what I saw in his clips.
Will contribute the pass rush.

Y'all were fine with Cook being taken 2nd rd. despite knowing his lack of real physicality, then later turned around to began complaining, asking 'does he ever break a tackle?', but have a problem with Ray Davis being taken in the 4th. Seems about right.
We actually needed to draft an RB, and we did.
He's a nice complement to Cook.

The Saga Continues!!!!!

I swear this only adds to the feel that the Chiefs are an A-1 org who are all about adding new trinkets and getting a leg up on the rest of the league, while the Bills feel like experts at foolishly relinquishing advantages that they had a hold of.
This is what happens when fans get bigheaded before winning a championship, acting as if they have luxury, and turning on their own before even being found guilty of an accusation.
Whether Araiza sticks or not, this just feels perfect with the Chiefs being at the other end.

This is the one thing I've never really been able to stand on the board. We all watch the same game, but it isn't until it seems were in dire straits that people will begin acknowledging what's kind of obvious.
I feel uneasy before every meaningful Bass kick and have felt that way for some time.

So if they don't, you owe me $465 even though I don't know what the hell you're talking about?

Surprised you didn't earn a restriction from Simon for making this thread.
I'm trying to determine what really earns you a strike around here.

You are not understanding what people mean by WR2.
It doesn't mean #2 in targets
Sorry, but you think Shakir can be a #1 WR?
Diggs isn't going anywhere. He is still an elite WR.
WR#2 played college football last month
Didn't suggest Diggs wasn't still an elite WR, but if there's any truth to these rumors he might not return, and yes, I do hope he finishes his career with Allen.
I don't see anything that suggest Khalil Shakir couldn't be a #1 WR. He can emerge if Davis remains out, and then it will become evident that he's the more consistent, reliable WR between himself and Davis. If Diggs didn't return and we moved forward with the current WR roster, I think Shakir would be Bills'
best WR.
-
Khalil Shakir looks like he could be Diggs' replacement if he doesn't return next season. Davis just isn't good enough to be a reliable #2.
I'm giving the nod to Shakir over Sherfield if the team's trying to line the next best WR up across from Diggs.

I imagine that counting down the hours till the game, feels like a boxer waiting in his training room in anticipation of being called to the ring.

Mahomes getting a taste of what Josh Allen dealt with most of his career.
Yup, and he's not handling it well at all.
Allen has the stronger arm, doesn't act like a spoiled brat that's owed something, and his voice doesn't sound weird.
We have the better quarterback.

Sounds like the same guy responsible for Hail To The Redskins produced this too.
I got a feeling all the fight songs sounded like this.

Shorter looks like a possession receiver at worst, but I'll take a WR who can keep the chains moving or keep the yards-to-go low. His hands strike me as being good in open space and decent when challenged. Route running on short to intermediate routes appears to be one of his stronger attributes; doesn't look like a speed demon, but he's gotten on top of his man a few times in his highlights.
It'll be interesting to see how he produces if given an opportunity to be on the field with the other guys on offense. Gabe Davis just doesn't separate easily or regularly enough, at over 6'3", Shorter could make life easier for him and Diggs if he can add to the receptions count.
If there's anybody that can make Shorter look better than advertised--- if his highlight attributes hold up--- it's Josh Allen.

Our soon to be 24 year old rookie receiver who has 1500 yards and 8 tds in 5 college seasons (he could have stayed another year) who is clearly an upgrade over Gabe Davis. Let’s keep up!
and I have nothing against Shorter but we’re grasping at straws here.
Who is and what do you mean by "grasping at straws"?

You don't know how excited I was to have both Bass and Araiza on Special Teams heading into the season. We were must-see TV on every side of the ball. I believe we had the most dynamic kicker-punter combo in football.
Come on Coach McDermott, give Araiza a second, third, and even fourth chance like we used to with Peterman back in the day.

Mahomes crying the entire post-conference interview about Toney being called for the infraction. Whining about how Kelce won't get the enjoyment of seeing his throw be replayed on ESPN a million times. Guess this is the reaction of his team not getting calls or having calls go against them.
If dude doesn't get fined something heavy for criticism of the refs, I swear.

It’s a freakin shame this guy doesn’t get more national coverage. Leonard Floyd has been the best player on this defense since Milano went down with Ed Oliver a close 2nd. He’s already got 10 sacks w/ 5 games still remaining. Should have more if not for the blatant holding by the Eagles. The guy just produces everywhere he goes and yet the media hardly mentions him even though he’s having a career year on a team 2nd in the league in sacks. It’s great to have players on defense that the opp offense needs to game plan around. Say what you want about the Bills, McD, Beane, whoever, but their D-line has finally come to fruition. If they can somehow squeak into the WC then they will be a very dangerous team. I just get that 2012 Giants vibe for some reason.
Damn, you dump on Von Miller but make no direct mention of him in the actual post. The man had a major injury, but was every bit of effective when he was healthy.
You won't give the benefit of the doubt?

HBD??? Heck kinda well-wishing is that???

Is this a real person?
Sounds like a Create-a-Player inspired by Shaq Lawson and Leonard Floyd.

Unless I misread things, his numbers looks solid. Started 25 fewer games than Tre'D and has only two fewer passes defended. Stats suggests he physical. Good PFF score too.
If you’re upset about the WR room - BLAME DIGGS

Said at season's that Khalil Shakir could replace Diggs and become a legit number one with Allen.
Still feel that way.
