Practice fight (8/15) - Helmets are swinging

Dodson on the incident: -
Brandon Shell Reportedly Intends to Retire
BuffaloBillyG replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
I said the same in another thread. I think this opens the door for Murray to end up #2. He's flashed a lot in camp when given the chance from what I have read. That said, the question becomes...if Mims or Evans play well enough that you don't want to expose one of them to waivers and Harris is showing knee soreness already...does this open the door for him to be a surprise camp cut? I think it's unlikely, yet possible. -

Can't find anyone saying directly who was swinging the helmet, but Dodson being removed and reprimanded opens speculation that it may have been him. -

On the one hand, nice to see we have a MLB with a bit of intensity. On the other hand, what an idiotic display of emotion. -
Welp, there's one tackle down. Likely the corresponding move to Matakevich coming off PUP

Bills activate Matakevich from PUP
BuffaloBillyG replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'd rather see what Williams has over going out to "get a guy" just to get one. -
Guess he showed the Colts enough against the Bills. Going to be a long season in Indy...

Not the PUP activation that we wanted...but welcome back Tyler

The thing I do like about the Williams pick and the way he looks is this. Having him offers the opportunity for the Bills to present different defensive looks in certain game situations and weather conditions. I am a fan of Taron Johnson, and yes he does show well against the run as much as the pass. However, we do play in Western NY and weather can be a factor especially late in the season. Having the horses to have a true 4-3 look in those circumstances and go a bit heavier can only help. Also as we saw last year for sure, injuries will factor in. Williams (along with Rapp) give us coverage to still run many looks if we lose guys. The ability for variety is a huge plus.

If they want a 2 headed monster of a run game instead of Rodgers to Wilson all day....I'm really ok with that approach for them.

This is correct. Also, to me this is a sign the Hall may not be healing the way the Jets project it.

Gazoo Helmets an Option For Players ???????????????
BuffaloBillyG replied to Irv's topic in The Stadium Wall
Absolutely. Yes, they are ugly as all can be. But if it's proven to reduce the chance for injury...well I'd rather see guys able to play. I read a lot on other teams TCs as well (retired life affords time). And now that I'm thinking about it I have seen next to nothing on guys getting concussions in TC this year. Not sure if that's the normal. -

BuffaloBillyG replied to Irv's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not sure about that, but I saw the padding they put on helmets during TC. Pretty standard for all teams now. Wondering if they do that to prevent head injury during camp if that's something they will try and incorporate down the road for games. -
Ezekiel Elliot to Pats on 1 year up to $6 million deal
BuffaloBillyG replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Zeke is better at pass pro as well IMO. May see him in obvious pass sets and goal line a bit. But for the most part, agree. Stevenson is the guy. -
Ezekiel Elliot to Pats on 1 year up to $6 million deal
BuffaloBillyG replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Elliot still has some value on the field. If he's not the centerpiece and has reduced carries he can be productive. Still has a nose for the end zone. But yes, Stevenson is really good and should still be the focal point of their run game. -
Preseason Week 2 - Bills Vs. Steelers, what do you hope to see?
BuffaloBillyG replied to Chaos's topic in The Stadium Wall
No injuries is the key. Everything else is gravy. And one deep ball Josh to Harty. -
True. He was just the only one not being paid for it if allegations are correct. "Their relationship continued to deteriorate as he learned that he was the only member of the family not receiving royalty checks from the movie, and it was permanently fractured when he realized he wasn't adopted and a part of the family."

Jonny Manziel documentary on Netflix is great
BuffaloBillyG replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
I can see that as well. However being that he isn't "there" yet doesn't mean he's not working on it. And really in life that's all we as humans can do. Be a bit better version of ourselves than we were yesterday. Or at least, make the attempt to. -
Jonny Manziel documentary on Netflix is great
BuffaloBillyG replied to JerseyBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Late to the party. Just finished watching it. First off, these Untold stories on Netflix are really good. Some observations: - I am not versed enough about the mental health aspects to wager an opinion about how they contributed. However, things came at him too fast after his freshman season. The game, money, celebrity status. He went from structure in high school to complete unchecked freedom. - Stiking to me how much he reminds me of a young Liev Schreiber, both in looks and speaking pattern. Has nothing to do with anything...just an observation. - While they did have his former agent and "Uncle Nate" on, I found it striking that there were no former teammates speaking on his behalf, especially about what they saw from him his freshman year. - I know it's a small sample and heavily edited...but I really don't like how his parents came off. From this short documentary it really seems like his sister is the only person in his life that didn't view him as a cash cow. - He was never set up fundamentally, emotionally or any other way to have a long successful NFL career...but could he have landed in any worse situation than the Cleveland Browns? Pettine was hired to coach because no one else wanted that job. Then you take the flash and glamour that Johnny had and stick him in Cleveland freaking Ohio...on a team that has the most drab uniform, stadium and fan base in the NFL for one of the worst owners in sports. No wonder why he wanted no part of football after that. - While it may not be the tone some would have liked...in his way I thought he showed a lot of personal growth from where he was when he was a player. Seemed very humbled for the most part. - It was fun remembering that 2 of the 3 finalists for the Heisman the year he won were him and Manti Te'o...who both now have their own Untold episode (highly recommend the Te'o one of you haven't seen.) User name checks out🤣🤣 -
Is Matt Barkley a better fit than Kyle Allen in this offense?
BuffaloBillyG replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree, Bridgewater may have been the best of the above. However I didn't like what I saw of him last season, either. Could be he was just a bad fit in the Dolphin offense . Really feels like the Bills best option at an upgrade at this point if they feel they need one is a trade.
