    But what do the Bills have to show for the Diggs era?  A 1st for a second and big dead cap sandwich?

     

    Let's not make that mistake every off season....especially if it is preventable.

     

    What do the Bills have to show for the Allen era?

    Hope they don't make that mistake again.

    Where did you read that he actually practiced?

     

    Cardi said he was pulling down balls in Mass.

    Is that not what she meant?

    Gunner, with all respect, you're running on about the topic of dissing weddings and wedding events like rehearsal to a degree I haven't seen in you before. 
     

     

    I'm starting to think that Bill may not have an abiding interest in maintaining peace in the valley.

    Yea I get the night before in law meal. That is logical. The rehearsal.... less so.

     

    I don't know if it holds true in Merry Olde but over here you generally have 10-20 people (many of whom may be strangers or never have participated) and are executing an intricately timed ceremony without the benefit of any sort of real time instruction.

    When you also take into consideration that pre-wedding brides are temporarily insane, high-strung sociopathic perfectionists that are liable to murder anybody who fails to make their day perfect, then you'll realize that taking a 20 minute walkthrough can possibly save multiple lives.

    I have never understood, and will never understand, the concept of a wedding rehearsal. 

     

    You don't have to remember your lines. You just repeat after the celebrant. What are you rehearsing? Walking?

     

    It's also an opportunity for in-laws who may not be very familiar with each other to spend some time then share a meal together.

    Susanna Hoffs, those eyes she makes in the Walk Like an Egyptian video. 

     

     

     

    Believe it or not, my wife has been told by about 1,000 people that she's a dead ringer for Hoffs in that video. :thumbsup:

    Were there notable stats showing progress with Cook's hands?  I'll be honest, my knee jerk reaction is 'he drops a decent amount of very catchable balls', but I wouldnt be shocked if I didn't notice/forgot over past several months.  I cant specifically recall any brutal drops......

     

     

    I don't think he has bad hands but when he does get the dropsies, he's had a propensity to do it around the endzone, which tends to really make it stand out.

    He was probably losing concentration when he's trying to locate the goalline, but I don't recall it being an ongoing issue recently.

    Probably just another facet he's worked on to improve.

    Someone who didn't but was a mess - albeit fun to watch - McKelvin. That guy got himself burned and in the wrong spot so many times and overcame it with such a pure out of this world level of athletic talent that it's a shame he never developed the rest of his playing abilities further. 

     

    About 10 years ago I had some passes and was walking around on the Bills sideline before a game. At one point I was standing near Leodis McKelvin who was warming up with a drill where he'd stand by the sideline, jump up in the air, reach OB for a ball somebody was tossing up and then come back down with it.

    That mf was in full pads, literally about 12+' in the air, plucking balls with one hand that were 4-5' OB and then repeatedly coming down in bounds with them like he was casually loosening up with some jumping jacks.

    I've been around some pretty impressive athletes at times but I have never seen any shlt like that in my life.

    It was like watching a galdanged circus act that you couldn't quite convince yourself was real.

    Nice to be arbitrary, but.......He hasn’t shown anything and his stats on tackles, breakups and assists bear it out. You want to ignore what’s plain to see, that’s ok.

     

    My thoughts on what the OP was asking are solely based on what Bishop does on multiple snaps during a game.

    If you want to rely on postgame statistics for your opinion on his physicality, that's ok.

    The rest of us will just watch him actually play.

     

    As for you ragging on him vs KC, that's a good time for you to now start ignoring stats since he actually led the entire defense in tackles.

    Yeah, what a shrinking violet :lol:

    Yeah I've always rooted for McDavid.  He really wanted to be in Buffalo and IMO he would have been to the Sabres organization what Josh Allen is to the Bills.   Would have saved Terry Pegula from unfortunately and painfully embarrassing himself as a sports owner the way he has with the Sabres.   

     

    I don't believe that there is a single human being that has ever tried on a pair of skates that could individually overcome the utter stank that organization has exuded over the last decade.

    The play I saw last year was more tentative, in my eyes.  Could just be because he was a rook and missed time

     

    He was undeniably tentative in the first half of the season after missing so much time early. No confidence in his reads, flat-footed because he didn't trust himself, bad angles as a result of hesitation. But by the latter part of the year he was definitely showing the willingness to come downhill hard and attack ballcarriers. He was still making the occasional mistake because he was so dialed in on his assignment that he didn't have the confidence to play the whole field, but there was no lack of aggression in his game. He is absolutely willing to stick his face in the fan.

    I’ve yet to see him put a hard lick ... or plug up a hole against a big back like Henry or Mixon.

     

    I have. Multiple times.

    It was cool.

    Sorry you missed it.

    I don’t think he went off the rails. This is who he is and always was. It’s just more public now with Cardi B. There are tons of stories about Diggs off the field that sound like this. He’s an unmarried, rich athlete that parties in the social media era. 

     

    He's also a skeevy little creeper and apparently always has been.
