Fairly low bar. That and he's a high floor low ceiling player. I'm not worried about the guy. If I was I'd remember his name.

I can rebut but what's the point?

Cornerback-wise I was totally onboard with the Bills drafting Eric Stokes last year. He went the pick before we took Rousseau. I watched the video and loved the player. It was a deep CB draft with Horn, Surtain, Farley, and Newsome taken in the first round ahead of him. I had Stokes as my 3rd CB though he went 5th. It'll be interesting to see how the careers play out. As for this year I've only started watching the prospects and the only CB I've watched so far is Trent McDuffie because I've seen him associated with the Bills in some mock drafts. If he was available in the 2nd round I wouldn't hate the selection depending on who was still available. He's a very similar player to Antoine Winfield... extremely good tackler, very instinctive. The jury is out on him as far as being a ball athlete. He wasn't thrown at much so he didn't get a lot of ball opportunities. That said McDuffie is a really good football player. He's a bit short but is thickly built and quite physical. He's a rugged, physical downhill player who attacks the run and that makes me think he could slide to safety if/when the Poyer/Hyde team ages out. Not sure he fits the Bills physical profile though. My next viewing will be McDuffie's teammate Kyler Gordon.

The Bills might have had home field advantage last year if they had Von Miller over Jerry Hughes over the course of the whole season. However I don't think Von Miller makes any difference when it comes to 13 seconds in and of itself. Mahomes was getting rid of the ball quickly which is why it made no sense to rush 4. No pass rush was gonna get near him.

Let's remember this conversation and rewind to it later when the smoke has cleared.

Thanks for posting... great stuff from Sal. With Waddle and Hill both in Miami, yes the Bills had better strengthen themselves at CB.

PFT: "Ryan noted that while he initially thought he might get forced into a trade, when the Falcons didn’t land Watson, he had a choice between staying in Atlanta or heading to the Colts." and then “I just knew with the roster that they talked about, the belief in the players that they have here, the belief in the way that they do things — the time was just right for me and I felt like I needed to do it. I was up in my house and I was in my office and I came downstairs and my wife was like, ‘You look different.’ I knew kind of at that point that was the direction we wanted to go. It took some time to really think it through and discuss it, and when we did we came to that conclusion.” So as to the speculation, he could have chosen to stay in Atlanta but he made himself available to moving on.

Well if you're old enough to remember Bud Wilkinson then you might remember this one: Or maybe you've forgotten it...

Good call on Jimmy Johnson. I'd obviously forgotten about him. I agree though that it's very hard for a person to succeed in a world in which they haven't so much as dipped a toe into.

Easy... what if Jimmy S. hears you? Be careful!

There were at least a couple of precedents for college-only head coaches with zero pro experience who became NFL Head Coaches. Bud Wilkinson and Lou Holtz. In college their combined record was 394-161-11. In the NFL their combined record was 12-30. If Shahid Khan was a true NFL fan he would have been more wary of hiring someone of Meyer's profile. BTW, Wilkinson and Holtz also combined for 4 NCAA National Championships.

You never really know another person's character but Jamison seems like he's a really solid human being. It's always better when you like the players you're cheering for.

I don't really understand New England's flirtation with Fournette. Firstly the Cheatriots*** ran the ball very well last year with Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson, both of whom they drafted. In addition Belichick isn't naive to be manipulated for leverage so what was the point of Fournette's visit to their facilities if they weren't gonna sign him? Did they really get played?

You missed my joke and I don't blame you cause it wasn't very good.

At right tackle?

Have you checked out this very well-produced piece that shows every one of Duke Johnson's touches from the last 6 weeks of last season? Look how much he gets on each play relative to the blocking. Also notice the energy and attitude (how quickly he gets up from a tackle), vision, instincts, agility, and power (click where it says "Watch on YouTube"). Keep in mind this is NOT a highlight reel, simply a compilation of every touch over a 6 week period. If you have a good eye for football I think you'll find it pretty impressive.

To me the idea is that if Josh were to miss 4 games like he did in 2018 that a veteran QB would get you 2 wins instead of 1 win, thus doing damage control to your place in the playoff seedings. Hopefully maintaining home field advantage.

Oh... okay. I'm getting drunk on all these signing. Sorry.

We got Saquon Barkley!!!??!?!?!?

That would pay for only a small fraction of my shrink bills from the PTSD the lunchbox caused me when the older kids bullied poor little old me! It happened at the bus stop every morning... 😢

Yes and his cap hit apparently was no deterrent to being moved.

Me too! Beluga, sevruga, ossetra, et cetera...

Agreed. Barring injury or unforeseen circumstances Duke will take snaps away from Moss. It's only a matter of how many if you know what I mean.

I have no dog in this fight but FYI there are at least 3 different trade value charts. Which one are you using? Where'd you read that Doc?

Past his prime based on what? His birth date? Duke ran a 4.54 at the combine and faster at his Pro Day. He ran a 10.62 in the 100 meters in high school. Thank you for the quality post. It is much needed in this topic. Duke ran a 4.54 at the combine for which he was disappointed with himself. He ran a 10.62 in the 100 meters in high school. No they don't. Too busy writing instead of reading... pre-formed opinions. To the mods: Please consider changing your definition of "crusading." Crusading should encompass more than just the person who cuts and pastes the same post over and over. Thank you.
