That's been the case with Micah - he is a generational pass rusher, but if you run the ball right at him or stunt, he becomes easier to address. Green bay was already a good defense last year, do they really think he can elevate them that much higher?

$47M a year is a LOT of money for Micah. IDK that I could've gone above $40M. Can Love be good enough to lead his team to the promised land? I dont think he can.

I saw an interview a few weeks ago where a kicker mentioned this is the first season kickers get to kick with their own football that they practice with and break in during the week Could mean improved distance and better accuracy on kicks

Miami is a 4-6 win team this year. NE will give them issues, the Bills will murder them, and they dont have enough talent to overcome their deficiencies. I'm guessing 6 wins and 3rd in the division ahead of the Jets

I think there is a bit of a correlation here without causation. The Bills have brought 4 guys in from UB since Beane took over. They have 3 from Texas A&M, 3 from V Tech. Just because Buffalo has brought UB guys in doesn't mean they allocate more assets to their viewings. My guess, they video scout and then maybe check with the coaching staff at UB to learn about the players. I'm just saying, from my internal knowledge of how scouting works, local colleges like Buffalo don't get scouted more just because they are close to the Bills

How many have they signed since Beane came in? 4 in 8 years?

I have a cousin who scouts for an NFL team - they don't focus on their local area any more than any other area in the US. Video scouting reigns supreme for these lower level conferences and programs, and the organization will use the Senior Bowl or bowl games to try to get some in person viewings. Dolac being in the Bills backyard doesn't matter. Scouting isn't focused on geography as much as people think it is.

Diggs was - for a 3 year stretch - a top 5 WR in football. Jefferson and Chase are all world - they are this generation's Moss/TO WRs Diggs is closer to a Torry Holt. A guy who could be a #1 WR on a title winning team, who was pro bowl caliber for a number of years, and was a first team all pro once (both Diggs and Holt made one AP first and one AP second). That's DAMN good. I'd consider it Elite, he just didnt have Elite longevity.

Wilkerson looks good, he catches very naturally

Only thing I'm focusing on this game is the rookies in the trenches. Walker getting penetration. Jackson has flashed more than last week (I still worry about his ability to be more than an outside rush or a push straight back guy). Sanders has won and lost reps. When Buffalo Joe is playing so much drop back, you are going to get chewed up. Bagent is also a very very good backup QB that I think could carve out a Fitzpatrick type career. Not overreacting to this at all - focusing on rookies and trenches, we know Davidson/Buf Joe/Codrington/Strong are PS or cut candidates. Not sure why people are upset that they dont look good. When its DJ Moore winning battles against Brandon Codrington..... you just eat the loss and move forward lol

That CB injury is exactly why the Bills are playing the way they are. Soft coverage, all backups, base defense. Play safe, no injuries, and get your guys to the regular season.

guys… Brandon Codrington is playing every defensive snap. The guy who was purely our returner last year mcd doesn’t want injuries and he wants rookies to get reps. That’s it. He doesn’t care about winning in the preseason

I’ve always really liked Bagent. Elusive and can throw well on the run good backup to have

Safety is an issue because our starters are both out. And White is a fill in for Hairston - he will get reps once he is healthy and acclimated. Season is long - i expect our secondary to catch up after a few more weeks

That blocking by Hawes is top class. 3rd and short with him and Knox in with Gilliam is a LEGIT top end run blocking crew.

I called Caleb a bust from the start - I just dont see enough natural skill to offset his lack of leadership and maturity. Maybe he can be a platoon starter at times, but I don't see a guy who is going to lead his team like we see Mahomes/Allen/Jackson/Hurts can do I'm feeling very Kyler Murray about him

The scooters part was funny - Hamler buying a kids scooter on accident cracked me up Allen a leader, Sean looks intense and ready to go good fluff piece and hopefully leads to some more stories and material

Because I’m stingy. and if I’m beane, I’m pointing to the other great players on the team who just took extensions where they left a little on the table. would I go up to 12 or 12.5? Of course. But I’d start at 11.5 and go from there

Cook is worth 12-13M on a three year deal. id offer cook 11.5 and see if he takes. He wont get 15 on the open market. No way

Beane has never "folded" in a contract deal - other than maybe the Von contract, but he was an FA. Beane has an expectation here - you get to play on a great team, with a top 3 QB in the league, and we are a TEAM trying to win the Super Bowl If Cook wants 15M+, I just dont see it happening. Beane I think will expect him to play when it's time to suit up, and he will continue to offer him 12-13.5 until Cook either blinks or walks

Criticize and what you did by simply demeaning a player who has stayed with the org for the past two years working his tail off to make his dream come true are two different things. Unfortunately I just dont think you understand that

The most intriguing player at camp IMO. If he pops, that’s THE piece the defense has missed. A big penetrating DT to compliment Oliver

He is a classic tubby ex-player once he retires. Dude is primed for a charles barkley look

I will say - Asante Samuel Sr. comes from a career under Belichick and Brady - there was ZERO ego that was allowed to interrupt Brady and Belichick as the organization leaders. Miami has (or had) Hill/Ramsey/Chubb/Wilkins who all spoke more than they could play in their tenure. That team lacks any cohesive leader. They have banded up for Tua during his injuries, but that has fallen apart after the Coach and GM do a poor job building and running the team to elevate their play further. Coach and GM will be gone after this year - Hill will want out, and they will start a retool around Waddle/Tua/Achane - which I dont think will work.

I didnt say you were implying that, I'm saying it's a balance... Sorry to get you upset
