Bates’s future is at center with this team. If all goes as planned, he may be the surprise starter at the end of camp with a salary cap dump of Morse. $6mil dead cap and over $5mil savings. Will this definitely happen? No. But it surely could if folks step up. Take their financial lumps this year and help next year’s cap.

You can do a lot worse than Wisconsin offensive linemen. They’re a school that prides itself on making guys pro-capable when they leave. Always well-coached.

Guys - you can do a whole helluva lot worse at swing tackle than Q. Hell, he can handle 4 of the 5 OLine spots. Be thankful that he’s being brought to camp and, if someone outplays him, he’ll garner a draft pick.

I just want the MLB with the best INSTINCTS in this class. After watching TE for 5 years, a guy with lousy instincts, I’m ready to just see someone who can fill the right gaps. And not get looked off underneath. Please, God, make it happen.

As each day passes, the odds increase that Singletary re-ups with us. He’s an Allen favorite and understands his role on this offense. His true value is around $3m/year, at most, as his talents and production are both easily replaceable. Don’t let Sportrac fool you, he’s a dime-a-dozen talent.

You nailed it. McGovern IS an upgrade over Saffold and having Boettger back helps immensely as it relates to depth. Brown had zero TC reps last season and Doyle provides a hopeful swing tackle for game days. Beane is doing a great job of eliminating glaring needs before the draft, so they can focus on BPA. Be very thankful that we have a more-than-capable front office. As it relates to WR, someone young will standout in camp and they’ll look to develop that talent. May be a draft pick, low-end roster filler currently signed, or a UDFA. The advent of high-flying college offenses makes it a lot easier to find bodies for this role that it did 30 years ago.

RocCity - are you from Olean? I remember being at the Olean Center Mall circa 1983?? and watching some badasses walk in with a cardboard remnant and rocking it out for about 10 mins.

This is a good group of people here and I’m proud to call myself a member of this community.

This kid has had way too many people in his ear. Lorax claiming he’ll be a HOFer before 1 game played. Did it go to his head? I don’t think so. But he sure helped us lose a humiliating game to NE last year. No reason for his horrific play misdiagnoses. He’s the Ron Burgundy of MLB’s in that all you have to do is look him off and you’ve got a completion. Cannot stress enough that I’m glad he’s gone and we can finally stop talking about him. I only said I haven’t missed a game since 1991 but I’ve watched them for 40+ years. And living thousands of miles away, before Sunday Ticket, made watching every freakin game very difficult, but I did it. So, tell ME…which player, non-QB, has created more animosity and conversation than Tremaine? It’s been like this since DAY ONE.

I’ve not missed a game since 1991. Ask me some questions.

Thank GOD! The most polarizing player in Bills history. He’s not a leader - nobody can argue with this statement. I’ll never forget the Jags loss last year when he did not play. He sat at the end of the bench, not involved whatsoever. This was when I decided I was done with him and Gisele (poster) can remember this moment when I threw my hands up and said he was hopeless. Good riddance.

Shane Conlan over Edmunds. Fletcher over Conlan.

Still no word?

You don’t win championships with rookie DC’s in the NFL. Look it up.

Eric Washington

Ike Boettger is likely penciled as the LG for next season. As it stands today, assuming Morse is released, we’d have Dawkins/Boettger/Bates/draft pick/Brown. They’ve been developing Ike, Bates is the heir at C, and they’re gonna give Brown one more shot at RT. I think Beane is correct in his stance that Brown having missed camp and recovering from surgery stunted his development.

This is a special bunch. But, then again, the whole of western NY and all of its expats are some of the best people on earth. We enjoy many, almost an infinite number of, common bonds. This place has pulled me out of more than one “funk” in life and, for that, and for many other reasons, like the obvious ones, I’m grateful.

In this defense, neither safety places that “center fielder” role. Heavy run support is provided by each safety (and nickel). Tre doesn’t have the size or temperament to crash downfield as our defense calls for. His body would hold up.

Tre cannot play safety in the NFL. He wouldn’t last the season in this defensive scheme as a safety.

Who else thought his arm looked dead? That he just looked old and tired? In my opinion, if he continues to play, next season could be a disaster for his new team.

This seems a little harsh, does it not? Can you imagine the uproar that would have been if Bruce was rotated in and out of the lineup? Or Ted Washington? Our rotational philosophy does rub some of us the wrong way, and I could also see how it’d be frustrating for many of the players, too. Sometimes it’s maddening when we have a 3rd and short and the line is not the starters. I know I’d want Daquan, Ed, Groot, and Von fronting our defense in just this situation. Who wouldn’t? You, presumably?

Well, I’ve seen it all. The most wholesome part of football has been sullied. What’s next? Did Marv Levy shake babies?

There’s a reason Beane gave up on him. Complete zero.
