NORWOODS FOOT

I get both sides of the argument. I don’t really care that he played at UB. I was more excited about his production and game tape. That he was in the Bills backyard is just a coincidence. Pre-draft I thought he was worth a 4-5th round pick based on my assessment of him. I believe/d he has great upside. Reality will be the judge. Let’s see.

I couldn’t believe the guy didn’t get a combine invite with his production and solid athleticism. I was hoping we’d spend a 6 or 7th rounder on him, especially given the injuries we’ve had at the position. That said, I hope Ciarlo clears waivers and gets on the practice squad. That’s a fun story to follow.

This is what makes Caleb Downs (Ohio State) such an amazing player is that he basically does everything at such a plus level. I’m probably most impressed at how he almost NEVER misses a tackle in space on anyone. Can’t wait to see how he does in the pros. Baring disaster for our season or his health, we have no chance at him, but what a perfect fit.

Sign Simmons. Groom Hancock behind him. Cut Hamlin. Allow Cole Bishop to play out his rookie contract (didn’t like him coming out and not surprised at his lack of success thus far. Hope things change.) PS I liked Hancock more than Bishop as draftable players.

Randy Moss would be fun

Him and who else? If you care to see for yourself, look at all of the kickers selected first as far back as you’d like to go. Look at their career stats and then compare them with kickers who played in the league more than a couple of seasons. You’ll be surprised. Their stats are worse. I looked into this because I shared the OP’s view because it seemed to “make sense” and was surprised to find out the stats don’t agree. This is literally why teams don’t follow this strategy despite how critical the position of kicker really is.

Surprisingly, being the top picked kicker in the draft doesn’t correlate to success. Many of the most successful have been undrafted. That’s why teams don’t deploy this strategy.

Nah… at this rate injuries to other players will force him into action. Don’t worry!

Go, Marv, go!!! 100 will be Marv-elous!!!

I haven’t been able to keep up enough to give a well-educated response, but I hope Jordan Hancock really takes off at Safety. Like his athleticism and pedigree and am worried about the injury history we have back there.

Good points. I hope Davis can be that player. He does have good power. I’m looking forward to seeing him this season with a year of NFL level training under his belt. I forgot about Chubb. When he was released I hoped we would sign him but knew we wouldn’t because we already have those spots filled on the roster. In the next draft I’m not convinced we should spend a high pick on a running back (and almost certainly won’t) but hypothetically it would be a lot of fun to have Kaleb Johnson, RB, Iowa on the roster. I guess I’m getting old - I miss those power run games! Power running, great D, perfect special teams, pass when you must… haha

This passing league is fun - especially having Allen. But man, I sure enjoyed watching those running game of old with guys like Jerome Bettis and Jamal Lewis where the D knew what was coming but couldn’t stop it. Made protecting leads in the 4th a bit easier too. In a dream world, the Bills would also have big power back to help grind the D down. Paired with Allen, that would be incredible. Not too many guys like that just lying around these days. Now they play other positions.

I liked him coming out of college - compact / explosive player. He’s been running in sand with the QBs he has had. If he makes the team and gets significant snaps with Allen as his QB, I think this will be a far better measure of who he can be as a player in this league. Looking forward to finding out.

Yep. Long time sexual predator even doing things to other men on national television. Can only image his private life. If he deserves it, I hope he goes to jail someday.

Sucks. Life is scary sometimes. Wish the big guy well.

Too good…

No, thicc…

Oh yeah….

I hope Dungy told the truth… I can’t afford to lose another hero 🙃

Thanks for the in-depth. I sound like a broken record, but McBeane is good, not great. It’s that last 5% that they just can’t quite seem to pull off that a very few other teams are able to do to get over the hump. Who knows. Maybe they’ll improve. Or maybe we get lucky one of these years. It’s a game of inches (*cough*Andvegashollywoodbs*cough*) Maybe we could get Dalton Kincaid to be be in a love triangle with Beyoncé and Jay Z… have them to the games and stuff… LOL

Hopium. Felt it too many times to count with the Bills. If we ever win it all is because it just happened. Not because I felt anything.

That’s my guess. Perhaps character too, though I haven’t heard anything. That would obviously rule him out for me too if it should prove to be the case. That said, when I watched him in 2023 I thought “There’s a top 10 pick”. Will be interesting to see how things go for him now.
