I wasn't far off. With Grable going to IR, that freed up a spot for Lundt. Hairston went to IR. I had him instead of Carter. So, I was two players off.

Yeah, maybe we can just deposit all of them into one thread.

So, what's the point of signing Jordan Phillips just to cut him? Why not wait and add him to the practice squad if that was their original intent? He plays special teams, so I bet he will.

They can't vreak through the BILLS, much less the Chiefs...

The Ravens were the other team brought up that were supposedly superior to the Bills. How many superbowls have they won since 2017?

Hancock plays safety. Strong is a late round rookie.

To having a contending team every single year.

O'Cyrus Torrence was a slam dunk pick.

I expect the Bills to lose this game. It just feels like a loss to me. They have been too banged up in the preseason and have a lot of new parts on defense anyway that will take time to mesh. If we win it will be because Josh Allen wills us to victory and/or Lamar turns it over a couple of times like he tends to do against us.

I think he wants out of there because he feels like they lied to him. So, this works out for both sides. He gets a big pay increase and the Bengals get him for one more year and don't have to tie up a bunch of money into him for the future. If he balls out again this year, he will get a huge contract in free agency. No way the Bills will afford him.

He's lived a good, long life. At this point, he should just do whatever he wants, haha. But I doubt that includes going out into the winter cold to freeze.

I don't really know what the "$30 million in total guarantees" actually means. Since it is a contract extension, I guess it means that his entire contract, including the already existing contract, has/had $30 million in guarantees. But what he got guaranteed at signing of the extension was only $15.28 million. If we cut James Cook right now, the Bills would have $15.6 million in dead money. I don't think he has $30 million in guaranteed money included in the $46 million that was part of the extension. It is just reported in a way to make Cook and his agent look like they got more than they actually did. These are his details: Career Earnings: $13,256,782 Career APY: $4,418,927 Potential Earnings: $55,527,782 Total Guarantees: $18,376,594 So, is the $30 million simply a rough combination of his career earnings up to this point plus his total future guarantees of $18 million (15 from his new extension and 3 from existing)?

Cook didn't get what he was asking for and the guaranteed money reported was false. He only got $15 million gaurenteed at signing.

Being athletic doesn't make you a good coverage player. Dorian Williams is very athletic, but he is weak in coverage as well. Coverage is more about intuition and feeling route progressions as they develop.

They're not testing general athleticism. RAS means Relative Athletic Score. The relative piece means relative to other players in your exact same position group, not relative to anyone outside your position group.

It's obvious that was not their plan. They brought in Bosa, re-signed Rousseau, and kept Epenesa. Jackson is supposed to develop for the future.

Except he is super athletic and explosive.

He has been lining up with Sanders a lot playing 1 tech so far. But regardless, they want all the defenisve linemen to be penetrating and getting up field to the QB.

It only counts if you occupy blockers if you hold your ground somewhat, which is what he did not do.

He's better than Carter.

Only once you have impeccable technique and leg strength like NFL kickers. At lower levels of football it is definitely a physical thing as well.

Like, a completely poverty stricken man's Josh Allen, haha.

A lot of the immediate depth like VPG, Grable, and Anderson have been hurt and not playing.

Both have been really good tonight.

Forrest has been extremely quiet. I just think he has been outplayed vy everyone else and won't make the team. They have him playing 1 tech now and he just isn't that type of player.
