First Round Bust

wonder if they would consider an exclusion for rookies (first year) after the initial cuts in Aug and the big one now in early Sept where IF you reclaim your recent draft picks, they would be protected/exempt for the first season, protects the draft investment made in them...i

and now for the must ask, ...does he do Blue Cheese or Ranch ? will you still love him the aftermath of this deeply Buffalo debated, polarizing question And secondly, Boneless or Bone-or-in would that make a consumption difference...any competitive eaters can..."weigh-in" then again will accept common slob with a tendency to pig-out

so the basic question to the STH/STM do you purchase for the purpose of consumption or resell - you have the right to either...but my question to the NFL teams..at what point does this violate your policy...i guess its years (of monitoring)....teams likley give you time for some kind of personal hardship...

my favorite quote from Dr Z was back when he was draft analyst on espn during the 80s-90s...when the Jets made one of their usual weird picks... "Jets dont know how draft, bigger problem is that they repeat every year"...

I don' t doubt McDermott has read-up on, attended seminars or incorporated ideas and best practices from others... In his own right...McD is a highly intelligent and motivated individual...his wrestling championships in the state of PA (a big wrestling state) takes a lot dedication and determination. I met one of high school friends last fall, we talked wrestling (we had that in common) who called McD the most motivated individual he has ever met, but had a sense of humor and liked to pull well-planned practical jokes. Getting into William Mary is another significant achievement, esp for an out-of-state student, plus he walked-on and made the team...playing-practicing sports while going to a demanding program like that is next to amazing...my son went there and he told stories about kids freaking-out over getting their first non-A grades of their entire lives there. Coaching tree - he developed under some really good ones: Played for Jimmy Laycock who coached at W&M (played along with Mike Tomlin) Eleven of Laycock's assistants became head coaches in the NCAA or NFL, including Dan Quinn and Brian Daboll. Laycock coached for 38 years, retiring with the third-longest continuous head coaching tenure in NCAA Division I football history. He also played qb at W&M as was coached by Marv Levy and Lou Holtz. 12 years with the Eagles under Andy Reid and Jim Johnson - one super bowl appearance - you know Reid's story but Johnson had 40 year coaching career overall, and was Eagles DC for 9 years, Andy Reid called and paid him the best. (Johnson played one year for the Bills in 1963-64)...McDermott took over in 2009 and was fired by Reid in 2012. 5 years as Carolina DC under Ron Rivera - second Super Bowl appearance in 2015 and second runner up to their Defensive Coordinator of the Year award in 2015.[ As the Panthers' defensive coordinator, McDermott led the team to finishes in the top ten in overall defense from 2012–2015. When the Bills plane lands at the airport from a road game, most go home, McD goes to his office at the stadium and reviews and prepares for the review and preparation the next day.

one day, come that day when Josh has more super bowl rings than Tom Brady, we can all look back on this misfortune and say it was worth it, I only hope Brady covers those big wins over the next decade of Josh-led big wins...

well 75% of us say he is a good man no matter, while 25% live in an alternate universe as CAVE (citizens against virtually everything) people.

wow...now off to spotrac to check the dip in the salary cap and see how much left over to play with...and wonder if they can add some IOL depth with related vet cuts

no doubt under-sized...in addition to Milano...here is an under-sized vet NFL LB most teams would love on their team, including ours: Born: April 21, 1994 (age 28 years), Sacramento, CA Height: 6′ 0″ Weight: 230 lbs Number: 7 (Carolina Panthers / Linebacker) Parents: Patrice Thompson Position: Linebacker yep- Shaq Thompson - a McClappy late first-round draft pick from the Carolina days...in other words it can work

do we anoint him...Bernie ? Saint ? TeBee ? or....Tear Bear (rhymes)

thanks for the chubbie, this behind the scenes stuff is awesome

has made close to $5M at age 28, we can roll our eyes at him, but he is laughing at us on the way to the bank https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/chicago-bears/nathan-peterman-21913/cash-earnings/

hmm, Poyer has to be looking at min 2+ years extension...how many age 30+ extensions can you do before it becomes a bad idea esp at safety most esp with two young vets as backups, one of which becomes a UFA as well ? with Josh contract exploding, Knox (likely) and edmunds (possible - no debate intended) extensions...not sure if this works unless they add dead-void years... wondering how much the cap goes up next season if they decide to do it to absorb

look...up in the air...its a bird...its a plane...no its super lame...a pass longer than 10 yards by Tua...the reason why Brian Flores no longer works for the Dolphins...they must have edited the fair catch signal from Hill as well. Wonder if this will turn Tyreek into their version of Isiaih Mckenzie or a crossing-pattern specialist instead of the vertical menace he was with Mahomes in KC...we can only hope

would not have happened with the insights and recommendations from Gaine who worked closely with the candidate who has 22 years of experience. they interviewed others so had the ability to compare and contrast candidates as well this is the Schoen replacement on the management team ?

former qb edwards - was given "Captain Checkdown" by the media very appropriate and funny, tragically so McClappy - for current coach Biscuit for Cornelius Bennett a good ole southern boy Ron McDole was the dancing bear Ruben Can't (not Gant) Bubby Braxton (RIP) Mini Max Anderson (RB - early 70s) Fergie Lamonica was the mad bomber - but I guess that was Oak days more than the Bills Marvelous Marv Bateman - 70s punter - seemed to boom one than shank one repeatedly

Bills mileage came in at 13.894 ? the O/U was 13,750 ? does that include bus mileage from airport to team hotel - and if so - is it roundtrip ? cuz if we are going to do this, lets do it right damn it. tie-breaker was time zones apparently - we only cross 10 chubby alert - the pending big news - Thurs nite opener at LA Rams !!!

damn you got me here, thought it was Shakir's !!! well played

1. met tons of willie and mary grads, with the son being one, beyond uber smarts, always impressed with the presence and awareness they have working for them. 2. I would assume the approach is to look at film with Dorsey (who hired him) and see what worked and what did not, then get to know Josh slowly but surely...Josh is now a young vet, gifted with uber athleticism, as well as presence and awareness. Josh signed-off on this hire as well, I bet he spoke to his buddy Sam Darnold to get the inside scoop. So Josh approved it, Dorsey was good with it and McClappy likely agreed only after their input rather than his alumn connection. There also are assistants, assist qb coach as well, so that is another personality in the room, on the practice field, working with the qbs in lesser role etc Brady has had his ups (LSU) and downs (Carolina), so did Daboll, who at the pro level had more downs outside of working for the Pats during the Brady heydays. Daboll benefitted from Brady and Allen, just as Brady benefitted from Burrow. I think its a good hire, and if this goes well, I wouldnt be surprised if Dorsey gets a HC position in the next year or two, and Brady would likely become a hot OC candidate, hopefully ours. The benefit the qb coach also seems to be coaching depth, as its a passing league and with qb being the most important position, having-grooming an in-house replacement is key to business-football success and sustainability. Further, lacking minorities in this kind of a position doesnt help develop the chops to be considered for HC positions...

OL coach Kromer - need OL to play better more consistent than last year - protect Josh, avoid getting outplayed badly like the Jax blitz and Pitts poor performance games

maybe our 7th rounder from last season whom the Iggles poached from our PS mid-season may have something to do with it...it happened before in Clevela...opps sore subject..

thanks, Feliciano RAS was 3.17 and D Williams a 3.37. so this dude is radio-active to the Bills FO I strongly believe the punch and power days of our O-Line are over

and my fav Buddy Nix quote...yeah ya wanna git ta no 'em...bring em in and smell their breath....

Elam replaces Wallace Cook replaces Breida - Moss looking at sitting on gameday unless Motor not running Terrell Bernard likely replaces Dodson or Andre Smith OJ Howard likely replaces Sweeney ? Sweeney to PS ? Punt God replaces Haack Nobody on current roster replaces Ford as yet...TBD Shakir likely replaces Stevenson who if makes it thru cuts goes to the PS unless Isaiah get hurt Rest of draft picks, UDFAs likely cut and placed on PS

update- depending on pronunciation of last name...perhaps "Air Raid or Raider" is a possibility as well...
