They say great minds think alike. Appears ours do as well...on a much smaller scale.

For those planning to attend.

I'm not talking stats. I'm talking overall tone of what Josh does early in the year (more conservative) vs late in the year (balls out). This literally has been a theme going back to Dorsey. We have talked about it on these boards year after year. And some still seem shocked. Every year is a broken record. It opens up with "Unleash Josh, let Josh be Josh" ECT and then the season goes on, and he plays more "Josh Ball". The pattern this year is exactly the same as it ever was.

True. But he's likely to stay here regardless for the season. It's a bit late in the year to work in a brand new guy at the position, learn the playbook and get reps in. we already have Samuel and Hardman out. Both have had a vast history of injury. Gabe is coming off a significant injury that took him a very long time to heal from. Shakir has been banged up this year. We are going to see a time when Coleman is needed to take snaps again this year IMO. I think what he shows then will go a long way to determining his fate.

We aren't missing out on an impact player because of three million of dead cap. That's where void years come in.

Good football IQ and awareness there. Bishop could be a very good player for a very long time.

How do people still not realize we do this dance every year? We start the season with Allen reigning it in a bit. First month to two months of the season, not so many designed runs. Let Allen avoid taking a lot of shots early in the season. Then around the bye, the gloves come off and Allen goes wild with running, taking more chances. It's a long season and reducing Allen's hits early in the season is a calculated move by the Bills.

Nope. Latu and Gabe are who I expect. But you never really know. I'd say Gabe is almost a lock, but maybe someone else gets it over Latu and they roll with Hawes, Gilliam and Alec Anderson seeing increased snaps in the TE role.

If they elevate then this week they still have to announce it. An elevation only counts for that one week. They don't stay elevated.

I have been looking around and haven't found anything yet. I imagine it will be Gabe and Latu again, but it's not official. Wins are wins in the NFL, so I don't say this to take anything away from them. But they caught the Ravens in the middle of mass injury throughout the defense and no Lamar. And San Fran with Mac Jones. That helps. This "#1 defense" gave up 29 points to Duvall Barbie and the Jags just 11 days ago.

He may get a look...but I think he takes himself out of the running for a lot of teams. IIRC, he's from the Philadelphia area. He wanted to go back to be closer to family. He's getting up there in age and is at a point where spending time with family can supercede coaching aspirations. It wouldn't shock me if he has a very small list of teams he would even consider coaching for.

I was kinda hoping they might bring him back this week. With Samuel and Hardman out and Shakir missing practice all week with the birth of his baby (congratulations to him by the way) and missing Kincaid....it may have been the perfect storm to have him see some snaps in the slot this week.

Yes. Difference is our run game controls the clock and game tempo. Used to wear down defenses. Their run game pops off constant long runs. Give the ball back to our offense.

Looks like the information trickle has begun.
