He has the potential, for sure. It will be interesting to see how he responds when a defense schemes ways to try and take him out of the gameplan. It will be interesting to see how he develops his game over the season and into next year. There is definitely cause for excitement and optimism with him. I'll also be watching closely how and what his usage is. How often Josh looks for him when there's a big moment in the game or if a play breaks down and Kincaid has to improvise. I don't care about his blocking as much. That's not what he's here for IMO. I'm also interested to see how he responds to his "welcome to the NFL" moment or moments. Will it drive him to get better or make him question his self confidence? While I agree he has the potential to be a truly special player in the NFL there is still a road to get there that he has yet to travel.

I know there are many here that don't like him...but this is as one user points out....oddly specific.

From what I have seen it's a true retirement. He's been away from the team for a bit and it was reported he was excused to deal with a personal matter. Sounds to me like the passing of his brother gave him a different set of priorities in life and/or just have him in a bad head space.

I actually kind of like Ridder in that offense. I think he can add something to what they have. Wouldn't surprise me to see him be a capable QB in that offense under Smith.

Tampa Bay would be smart to take a look at this. They have Baker and Trask. Lance would see some snaps at some point. Problem could be for what they gave up to get him I don't see the 49ers giving him away for low value. Especially after losing something like 16 QBs to injury last year (or so it seemed)

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/30374985/buffalo-bills-tommy-sweeney-diagnosed-heart-condition Missed a whole season due to the myocarditis.

It does. His salary was not guaranteed for this year. The Jets are not on the hook for any of his salary.

Not a ton known at this time. Was reported to be working off to the side when he suddenly needed medical attention. Pretty scary for a guy that has had heart issues in the past. Prayers up for Tommy.

I think the Dolphins may have better top of the roster talent. However they appear to lack depth at a lot of positions. On the other hand, the Bills may lack that true top end talent outside the obvious guys, however seem to be much deeper in depth to me. Over the course of a season, injuries happen. Guys miss time. I'll take Buffalo's top 53 over Miami's for a 17 game seasons. I think we have a much better shot at sustaining wins while key players are out (see last year).

A bit overdramatic, but sure.

So, you noticed him on 2 plays this preseason?

Fun story about one of the surprises of the preseason. He's been first in at OT in both PS games IIRC. There's a real path to the 53 for this guy. Could be a good find.

I know he was a tackle but unsure if he played RT or LT. One thing I found interesting about him, Edwards was recruited to play TE before switching to OL. I'm wondering if he will have a roll as the "6th OL"/tackle eligible" role that Bobby Hart had last year and Tommy Doyle did well in the year before.

Eventually most records fall. It's just the way it is. Some guy will come along at some point and be just as unstoppable. I do feel comfortable saying that this record is not likely to be beaten in my lifetime.

Yup. And it's important for the lower guys on the roster to put good stuff on tape even if they aren't making the squad. This is a job interview for 31 other teams as well Case in point, Blacksheer last season. Played the final PS game against Carolina and impressed them enough to get signed to their active roster when they needed RB help. These games for them can be life changing.

For the most part Buffalo sports media is very knowledgeable, personable and likeable. Then there's Thad.

I would think playtime could ultimately be at risk which for some players may or may not have an impact on incentive bonus money. But that would depend on the player. Then there are guys like this that take ownership of the situation and perhaps get on their fellow players where coaches can't. No one wants to let the team down

Dorian Down? Rut ro.. And now from Captain Positivity: Uh...more information would be nice. Like minute by minute update on the knee... Also, Diggs is so unhappy he was slapping teammates today. Things are out of control with him... And if this doesn't solve the issue McDermott has threatened that those committing presnap penalties will lose dessert for a week.

No one. We were at 89 per Sal C. Back to full 90 now.

I'm seeing 224lbs several places. Where are you seeing that weight listed? Either way what you and I are seeing likely isn't accurate. In my experience, not many of the player listed weights at any position are truly accurate.

Another small LBer...which is what they apparently like so it fits. Meanwhile, Jets and Pats add RBs, Miami doing "due diligence" on JT. Thinking perhaps teams are eyeing Buffalo and their small LBers as a team to run against. Pound the rock, physically dominate the line AND keep Allen off the field. Solid gameplanning on their part if true.

Actually, it appears they did take a look at a LBer today. I wonder what other things take place at One Bills Drive that we don't know about?

How long before the Bills are automatically linked to him?

IIRC Matt Barkley was at one time considered a top 10 overall pick...then he went back for his senior year to try and win a national championship. Ask him how that worked out.

Same. But Murray can handle that role. Run right behind Torrence.
