In Summary

See how he comes out of the bye week. Maybe a new attitude and new girlfriend. Get back to the basics of being a filthy rich NFL star.

Jones helps make all the rest look good. Can redirects plays in addition to tying up two OL. Frees Edmunds up to not have to crowd and play straight on against the run or Poyer to have to take on a runner with a head of steam. Just my opinion. Miller is great so when he plays great it's not really that interesting. It's these guys that don't ever get their name mentioned that play lots of snaps at a consistently good level that are the most interesting to me.

Speaking personally, this can happen.

Jets didn't have to contend with Tennessee or KC and other than Buffalo, their remaining schedule isn't that difficult.

Singletary and Milano/Miller.

Little media and NFL push to celebrate defensive greatness in my opinion. No buzz like with the Steel Curtin, '85 Bears, Bermuda Triangle, etc. Probably doesn't sell or play well with the casual highlight loving fan. Anyone can digest a long pass or run and keep their dopamine flowing. Defensive stops? Not so much unless there is an interception or forced fumble involved. Plus, there is little promise you'll see the brutal head-hunting hits of the past.

A 2nd and a 1st spent on RBs this year? No way.

If you dilute your Jack and Coke too much it is no longer a Jack and Coke.

Stream the daily Locked on Bills podcast and the Cover1 shows instead.

I would expect that Miami game to have added a day or two to their normal recovery period.

I'd take 2010 Tolbert for sure.

I like Moss, but he's becoming the new Tolbert.

Same with Eric Bieniemy. Guys not getting differentiation between themselves and their head coaches. Frazier would stand out more with the Chiefs and Bieniemy more with the Bills.

Agree. Game seems to overwhelm him a bit but tough to say. Rookie.

Milano, Poyer.

You're right. I misread your post.

Mad, freaking out, scolding his coaches, etc........you know. He lost his composure.

Seeing Peters flip out was awesome. That broken look on the Ravens' D when we ran the clock down was also solid. I don't care for Baltimore.

Now that we can stop the run, we only have the heat as our enemy.

Love the positive mention of DaQuon.

...and miss out on seeing a butt-punt live on TV? No way!

Absolutely. It's the line more than it is the RB's. Also, any assessment that is based on the "heat game" is skewed.

Meaningful snaps for Cook. He trending up little by little. He'll be up and down in use but I looking forward to seeing where he is mid-year. Also enjoyed the Gilliam catches.

The US Army, at least as far back as 1988, would modify training based on a heat index. Still, you would see heat exhaustion occasionally - soldiers getting dizzy, losing coordination, even getting listless. Include headache and nausea as common symptoms. Even in the days before red card and coddling, the ARMY took heat conditions very seriously. In my opinion, this was the case yesterday with many of the players right on the edge - motor skills, strength, cognitive, all being challenged. Allen's throw into the turf on the missed TD likely doesn't happen unless he's totally gassed. Maybe Davis make the football move and maybe Milano has better focus and intercepts the ball. Who knows............ I'm rather surprised that the heat management solutions aren't better - even for the visiting team.

Josh is gonna cork their blow holes.
