If we don't re-sign Robbins, Matthew Hayball, and Ryan Stonehouse worked with Johnston in our last search.
All I know about Hayball is he's an Australian guy, lefty and led the league in punts inside the 20 last year. However, the Saints replaced him after 1 year. I think Stonehouse is better if he is over that injury, but either make sense at this point rather than bringing back Robbins. I do think the Camarda thing was weird. I guess he really regressed from his first couple of years. Stonehouse def more interesting in my opinion.

Was it Ryan Stonehouse who was at the tryout with Johnston? He probably makes sense to bring back for a tryout.

On one hand I understand this take. No question they have not done a good job of finding OL talent.
But also this is the NFL... QBs are going to take hits. Allen and Mahomes have had their share of poor OL play over the years and they haven't missed chunks of their career. The tackle that he got hurt on yesterday was as routine as it gets, he was trying to step up in the pocket and got tackled by his ankles. Watching it back you wouldn't think that will end up a 3+ month injury.
Burrow unfortunately is just injury prone and short of building the greatest OL of all time it feels inevitable that any random hit he takes over the course of a game will knock him out for a while. This will be the 3rd season out of 6 that he hasn't been able to finish. Half of his career...
Agreed. He has quickly become Mr. Glass.

Franklin ridiculously good on kick coverage. He certainly flashed today.

I was actually worried. I was at the game on the Bills side and all we could see was Josh sitting by a cooler back to us surrounded by a bunch of people. I was concerned it could be a concussion or a shoulder injury. Happy it was nothing, but live we never saw the TV shots that showing that he clearly had an issue with his nose.

I like games like today when the team can win with Josh doing basically nothing. He can save the Superman stuff when it really counts. This game reminded me of an old patriots type game that was boring as hell, but efficient and relatively easy. I’m very happy with what I am seeing so far as it is a great formula for longevity and long term success in the season.

Cole Strange. Hasn’t been good, but he is the kind of ridiculous athlete that Aaron Kromer has had a ton of success developing. He was also over drafted into a dumpster fire and thrown to the wolves. He was always a small school guy athlete who needed development time. Good piece of clay for Kromer.

When did the Pats hire Doug Whaley?

I remember when he was booming punts with the Titans, I thought he was still there. Dude made the all rookie team and was a 2nd team All Pro. Lead the league in punting. I don’t know why he wasn’t tendered by TEN and how he wound up losing the punting battle in MIA. On the surface I would’ve said he’s much better than Robbins, but there has to be a reason why he’s already looking for his 3rd team.
Yeah makes sense. It seems like Robbins has maybe turned a corner here, he’s looked pretty good -
I complained a bunch when they re-signed Hamlin because I think he is terrible and I feel like McDermott likes to stay in a comfort zone with guys.
I was fearful having that dude around would tempt coach to go with ole reliable and that’s where this is probably headed. Hopefully, Bishop or someone steps up. The Simmons thing has been a no brainer for 2 years now, perhaps he wants too much.
I am guessing McDermott is trying to light a fire with his public comments but that stuff is cheesy. Get the Bishop coached up…the mistakes he is making are fixable.

Is Ryan Stonehouse better than Brad Robbins?
-
Interested to see who shakes loose in the competition between Jake Bailey and Ryan Stonehouse down in Miami.
Pretty surprised Camarda is gone already. Robbins can't be it.

If anyone wants to dig deeper into this:
The book here is an amazing read.

Who knows what happens, but I've been all about Moore all off-season. His skill set is tailor-made for what we do offensively. It's extremely early, but it's a good sign that he is making plays.

The franchises are friendly for whatever reason. Bears-Bills have made multiple trades the last couple of years.

How much will we hear about James Cook being unhappy during this?
I don't think we see a lot of him. He is lacking in the personality part of things. It's not good TV.
-
Cool.
The UDFA they obsess over is probably center Jacob Bayer with the mullet.
Probably a bunch of stuff about Ray Davis’ difficult upbringing.
Dion will steal the show and Bobby Babich will be good TV as well.

Douglas is confusing to me - i had heard the Bills did offer him a contract at what they thought was reasonable to the degree that he can compete for a backup job but was told they want to go another direction as a starter. perhaps that was enoguh for both sides not to actually extend the offer but douglas has been tagged by teammates to come back and given credit for addign to the team. with white being back i think it is less likely.
Johnson, Smooth, Phillips Jefferson will get a chance on a roster at some point in training camp as injuries happen. teams don't need to bring in those guys because there is already tape to grade. all 4 could be depth rotation guys on a shallow roster or just join PS to stay in the league.
Miller doesn't have to sign anywhere but will stay in the league and market himself as some mentor to keep his name famous.
back to Coop - some team will sign him to try to tap the last potential from him. a team maybe light at WR (Carolina, New England). Many teams are just as weak at WR as we are.
I think the Douglas ship has certainly sailed, between White and Jackson signing plus Hairston and Strong. Not to mention they gave his number to Hairston. I liked Douglas, but I feel like he was just terrible this year, and getting younger and more athletic at the position was the way to go. Now if we wind up with Dane Jackson starting corner, I will be extremely disappointed.
I agree on those DL guys will get a shot at some point with teams, especially Smoot and Jefferson. Phillips is tricky because he has pretty much proven he can only play in Buffalo.
Cooper thing is interesting, but with how Beane values draft picks, to give up a third and not even attempt to bring the guy back it certainly feels like they think he is done.
Miller should sit out most of the year and then sign with a contender late as a hired gun as a designated pass rusher.

I appreciate what Q brought to the Bills but I also believe this kid Hawes is going to be an excellent addition to the roster. If he is as good a blocker as advertised, he allows the Bills to nix the 6-OL formation and have a guy in there who can actually catch the ball as well. Q was just a ST guy and occasional red zone presence.
Agreed. Having a real receiver in that spot adds a ton to what you can do offensively in those heavy formations.

Not to whistle past the graveyard but this feels like a mistake for Baltimore... Giving a big contract to a 30+ year old RB is pretty risky.
Very tricky evaluation with him. It's tough because if Baltimore gets behind in a game he essentially becomes a non-factor, but he is still elite at what he provides.

Josh Allen Played Most Undisciplined Game in Three years Against Falcons-- Jim Kubiak BN
in The Stadium Wall

Falls back on the defense. If they can't stop anybody, Josh is in a pressure cooker to score points. That game got away from them quick. It's hard to establish teh run and have a balanced offense if the defense can't get stops. Yes, Josh is struggling, yes we need more speed, but the problem is, and has mostly always been in the Josh period, the defense. Pointing at you HC.
