    why do you expect him to? He didn't break tackles in college either. he was and is an outside runner and pass catcher we're trying to use as a normal back. Classic Beane - McD miscue.

     

    Bills reached on him because they were desperate for a receiving back, now they are using him as a workhorse which he clearly isn't, doesn't make any sense. I hated the pick at the time and I hate what he means for our offence, we can't rely on this guy at all.

  2. Seems like this should have been done right after the draft, a lot has changed since then and now.

     

    Kincaid - dude is going to be awesome

    Torrence - looks like he is going to be a rock for years to come

    Williams - could be a solid player for the Bills, great backup to Milano

    Shorter - I had some hopes for this guy with his size, speed, hands, but he hasn't shown anything to be on this roster. He's a project but can't see him being around for long.

    Broeker - didn't make the team so he's probably a career practice squad player
    Austin - didn't make the team so he's probably a career practice squad player

  3. The Bills traded down twice in the 2023 draft, they ended up with two picks in the 7th round (Broeker and Austin) but they also picked up two 6th round picks in 2024. So they didn't really lose much here.

     

     

    Nick Broeker trade (pick 230):

     

    Houston traded their 230 overall pick in Round 7 along with a 2024 sixth-rounder to the Bills to take Xavier Hutchinson at 205.

     

    Alex Austin trade (pick 252):

     

    Buffalo traded this sixth-round selection (215th) to Los Angeles in exchange for a seventh-round selection (252nd) and a 2024 sixth-round selection.

    With the team they have, no Day 3 draft pick is assured of anything anymore.

     

    Yeah I guess Hodgins never did make the team out of camp so Shorter isn't necessarily a lock either. However, I do think they drafted him because they expected him to be able to make the team as a contributor on special teams, so that should help him.

    At first I didn’t really understand bringing in Isabella but maybe there is a path for him on this roster.

     

    Not sure Shorter has shown much if anything to date to warrant anything..I also think Isabella offers more upside this season if we need to fit him in somewhere. 

     

    I haven't heard much positive news at all about Shorter and he did nothing in the preseason game, but he's a draft pick and plays special teams so he's gotta have the edge, even though Isabella seems to be having a much better camp but where does he fit into the lineup?

    both?

     

    not to be grammar police, but i cant even "but Maddenboy, you know what i meant, though" figure out what or who you mean.

     

    it seems to me the motorcycle would be at fault, on these scant facts.  because the motorcyclist, as all motorists, should never be driving so fast he cannot avoid a collision (because even 25mph can be too fast, depending on visibility, weather, the condition of the bike, the fatigue of the driver, etc).  The motorcyclist, and all drivers, should Expect that crazy or stupid or drunk stuff Will be done by other drivers.

     

    Or, even if Florida has comparative fault, to me the motorcycle should be at least 50% at fault, even if the car driver made an illegal turn..

     

    ---

    after a few re-reads, if i had to bet money, i think you are saying that the car broke the status-quo of everybody minding his own lawful business, so but / for the car turning left, the accident would never have happened.

     

    we probably need a lot more facts.


    Agree with your bottom line though.  tragic.

     

     

    Oops I definitely should have been more clear, but I was thinking the female in the car is at fault. But without all of the facts, it's impossible to say, speed and visibility could have been an issue for the bike too.
