The Bills held a short minicamp at Gates Chili High School in 1986, when Mark was rookie. A 250 lb linebacker was unheard of in 1986, so I was very intrigued by this 7th rd draft pick. I went up to met him at the end of practice and since the uniforms didn't have names, I asked him if he was Mark Pike and his his answer was "Yes Sir, I am". I was only 31 at the time and not really used to being called "Sir", so this really took me back at bit. However this also told me all I needed to know about him and from that point on he was "my guy". It was very clear that he was a high character guy who was raised to understand the value of being polite and respectful, so his comment to this dad is not surprising.

Thank you for stating this! It seems that some on this board feel that if you're not a Travis Kelce clone by year 2, you should be kicked to the street or worse. Knox clearly has elements of his game that he must improve, but I trust this Staff to get him there. When this happens, the crickets will stop making noise and deny ever making the comments. I'm not opposed to bringing in Ertz or any other upgrade, but until that happens, Knox is the best TE on the roster and should be supported, not hated.

It's pretty telling that nobody has mentioned Mario Addison in this thread. Does he even make the 53?

I'm also puzzled why this has not been discussed more. Don't want to use it as an "excuse", but Beasley and Davis clearly were not the same players in the Champioship game as they were in December. Smoke also was not as effective in any game after he returned as he had been earlier in the year. I really don't think the KC DB's would have been able to play as tight as they did if our, guys were not limited.

As previously stated, you can listen on Radio.com, but only using the internet. Mobile devices are blocked. THere is also a station in Toronto (Sportsnet 590 The FAN) that streams the broadcast for times when Radio.com isn't working.

Tommy Sweeney will replace Lee Smith as the primary blocking TE but also provide more in the passing game (assuming he's healthy). I think Knox will take a big step next year and prove all the doubters wrong. He's very much like Josh in terms of his early development, so year 3 could be big. Reggie Gilliam will need to make it on his Special Teams contributions or show the ability to play the fullback role that is currently missing. That said, I would be all for adding a guy like Tremble to this mix to get more of a threat out of the position.

You have to add Terry Bradshaw to the list. He said in mid-Oct on a National broadcast that Josh would never be accurate!!!
