I would imagine he could play tight end. He might be good in volleyball.

Ugh! Dane Jackson is the only CB on the PS. At least he's experienced and knows the system. The Patriots aren't loaded with high end talent at receiver, so that's something. Diggs and Boutte both know what they're doing though. I don't imagine there are any great CBs out there in free agency five weeks into the season. Not going to help tomorrow, but it looks like Kendall Fuller is still available. He was lousy last year, but was dealing with a lot of injuries. Maybe he's got something left in the tank at 30 years of age.

I hope you're right.

Josh Allen is a weapon who is always going to impact defensive strategy. Brady understands that and takes advantage. I won't fault him for that. I do complain a bit when he runs the identical running play 3 and 4 times consecutively. Teams are starting to anticipate that and are stopping the plays cold. What I'd like to see is the Bills running the same play a couple times, then fake the same play and do something different. That should keep defenses more off balance.

Who's to say what Maye's ceiling is? He's not Josh Allen's equal right now. Allen has proven himself in big time games. This year, the Bills have scored 30 or more points in four straight games. In New England's 2 losses, they scored a total of 3 touchdowns and 27 points. Their wins were against Miami and Carolina. Maye has not proven much beyond the notion that he is a bonified NFL QB. I won't argue that he isn't.

They're just jealous.

A slaughterhouse of meatheads?

I think it's "meatheads."

This is kind of what I was thinking. He is a very "handsy" cornerback. Maybe the league is having officials call it a little more closely.

Could you be a bit more explicit? The new stuff - is it common stuff done elsewhere that the Bills just haven't done much of or is Babich really getting creative? How do you know this? Are you doing film analysis yourself or reading it somewhere?

Can he hold for the place kicker?

Whiffs all over the place yesterday. I assume the players will be seeing a lot of film that makes them groan. Hopefully, they can fix it.

You'll have to wait until 9 PM or so on Sunday evening for the 1/4 mark, Shaw. LOL. In any case, I'm pretty happy with the way things have gone. No losses, but the Bills have areas where they can (and need to) improve. The problem with playing perfectly is it seems too much like a peak from which you will have to descend, probably sooner rather than later. When there are still issues you have to fix, you can focus on getting better and not just holding on.

The connection between place kicker and holder is the biggest issue with changing punters, but Prater adjusted pretty quickly when he came in on short notice to replace Bass. I think the Bills will be OK with a new punter having 3 days to practice.

There are times in Buffalo's history when it seemed like the Bills played down to the level of their opponents. This might be one of those years. I'm not doom and gloom by any means. I don't think there is any reason Buffalo cand reach the bye week undefeated. They will undoubtably win their division and there is ever reason to believe they will push deep into the post season. It's just that as they have done in the past, they are letting teams hang around that they should put away early. When you do that, there is aways a chance you get a bad bonce late in the game and you end up losing. I do think the return to health of Ed Oliver and Matt Milano, along with the addition of Hoecht and Ogujobi will make this defense a lot tougher.

The Bills could probably rest Brown without a problem. In all honesty, Epenesa doesn't matter all that much. If he plays and gets hurt, well the Bills have Landon Jackson in the wings, who could come in next week. Hoecht is getting closer to the end of his suspension. Epenesa has never been a difference maker and is in a contract year. I'll be a bit surprise if he's a Bill next season. If the Bills do rest him, it might give us the first regular season look at Landon Jackson. The bottom line is, I don't care whether Epenesa plays or not.

The Jaguars look pretty good too. The Saints really aren't that bad in terms of protection. The chart shows a bit of vulnerability from the left defensive end. Maybe Greg Rousseau can make his presence known this week.

Given the Bills needs and who might be available, this is certainly a possibility.

I could see the NFL trying to set up some form of farm system with the CFL. Changing the Canadian game to be more like NFL rules would make the transition back and forth easier. A formal relationship might allow for expansion of the CFL.

I used Buffalo in week 3. I've got the Chargers over the Giants this week.

Benford has not looked as good this year as in 2024. The speculation is that's because the Bills have played a lot more man coverage this season thus far. Mayve Hairston can take some reps when the Bills are in man coverage.

It means I'll be teaching the adult Sunday School class. Our regular teacher takes photos at the game for USA Today. When the game is a 1 PM, he has to leave for Highmark too early to stay for Sunday School.

Less athletic players who happen to be smart often make good coaches. They are used to getting the best out of themselves and know how to teach others to do the same.

Contract information I could find says his salary this season is 7.75 million with a workout bonus of a quarter million. If the Bills could get him for that, it would probably be worth it, but if he clears waivers he'll probably want a bigger deal. It sounds like he'd prefer to sign with a team that plays a more aggressive style of defense than the Bills though.

I'd try to trade him to an NFC East foe if I could. With Russell Wilson, what you see is what you get. He has unquestioned talent but he is enamored with throwing deep passes. Smart defensive coordinators are going to know it, and if they have quality defensive personnel, they will defend against it. He'll make some big plays, but he's always going to be a risk to throw interceptions. Jaxon Dart is a smart young QB. He's going to make some mistakes, but he has a ton of upside. In retrospect, I think it was a mistake for Daboll ever to start Wilson.
