It's NOT a big deal. WHO said it was a BIG deal anyways? WHY does everyone have to blow EVERYTHING out of proportion... I JUST SAID IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL!!! Peaches and Herb are great but you should try it the other way around... the Herb and THEN the Peaches... that's really great.

Thank you... it seemed like I missed something.

Yeah but doesn't Josh answer "Yes" in response to the "Mailman?" comment or was that my imagination?

Did you watch and listen to the video?

I believe Josh Allen was a mail carrier, not a paperboy.

That's because you're a chicken.

There's some contentiousness on the board about the degree if any that Von Miller has had on this offseason's roster additions. It could just be coincidence but so far the Bills have signed 4 former Von Miller teammates, David Edwards, Taylor Rapp, Travin Howard, and Shane Ray.

Yes it's on Dorsey and Josh to make it all work. Every one of your bullet points assumes the wost case. Yes, the biggest piece missing on the O-line is a proven swing tackle but those aren't growing on trees.

It's really hard to say who's at fault for Josh ignoring the layups and going for 3 pointers. There's one theory that his elbow injury was more painful when throwing short. There's another theory that Daboll was more persuasive than Dorsey in convincing Josh to take the layups. At any rate, the Bills offense definitely needs to take the sure gains at a higher percentage than they did last year, IMO.

I don't see why Dorian Williams can't play at the level of Tremaine Edmunds once he gets some experience under his belt. We'll see.

I don't know if there's a single NFL GM who participates on social media but I would say that Beane is actually fairly chatty as GMs go. I sometimes think to myself that he's a bit too forthcoming.

Yes, it'll really be a matter of degree. I'm guessing he's not gonna get much work on the left side... less cross training than the other guards I think.

The Bills have already had a Lumpkin... https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/L/LumpJo20.htm

I'm gonna predict that you're wrong. We'll see.

The biggest takeaway for me was that O'Cyrus Torrence got work at both guard positions. Not that I'm surprised because all NFL teams value positional versatility and in fact require it due to the number of O-linemen who typically dress each week. That said, I was wondering if the Bills would glue him to the right side just to enhance his proficiency at that spot... to accelerate his development into an opening day starter.

Regardless of stats, Gates seems like an odd person to come up in discussion as a comparable because stylistically he and Kincaid seem very different to me. Changing gears, last week The Athletic had more discussion on Kincaid: “I like Kincaid to Buffalo,” an exec said. “He was clearly the No. 1 tight end for us. You put him in that offense, then you take the guard in the second round. That is scary for a top-five offense to reload and potentially get better. I like what they did.” The Athletic’s Randy Mueller (former New Orleans GM) ranked Kincaid as the 10th-best prospect in this draft and his favorite overall evaluation. “Getting the player is one thing, deploying him is another,” another exec said. “When you start talking about the contenders, Buffalo is not necessarily going the other way, but they do rely too much on their quarterback. The key is going to be how well their coordinator is able to use two tight ends. You don’t see every coordinator do that well.” Paywall and apologies if this was already posted: https://theathletic.com/4490198/2023/05/05/nfl-draft-class-analysis-execs-unfiltered/

Duck Hodges...

He hasn't played in the NFL since 2018. Since then he's played parts of two seasons in the CFL. Possible camp body... zero expectations from over here.

Nacho Cheese is the traditional flavor from back in the day but Cool Ranch has really made it's mark.

I'm sure your... partner is used to this by now. "Another ayahuasca Sir?"

@Thurman#1, I'm not really understanding your point above. Levi Wallace was an undrafted free agent who ended up starting for 4 years. Doesn't someone who is drafted generally carry greater expectations than someone who is undrafted? Doesn't someone who is drafted earlier generally carry greater expectations than someone who is drafted later? Of course there are UDFAs who buck the odds and exceed expectations. And certainly we would like to believe that sports is free of politics and is a pure meritocracy but if a guy is undrafted, isn't it fair to say that no team envisioned him being a starter for 4 years? That's what I mean when I say "He was never supposed to be the guy."

Indeed. Being preseason Super Bowl favorites to not being in the top 5 in the AFC? Ancho's tweet is some combination of click bait and groupthink... basically an open-faced shyt sandwich served for mass consumption... the exact reason I don't have a twitter account.
