Ingram, couch, strong, jackson. Can't see tham all making it. this might actually make hard knocks interesting if we get to see the behind the scenes debate on this between the staff and front office.

I just watched cossell on with OBL and he was asking about strong and Chris Brown said he was good the second week of camp but has not really stood out since then. The roster cuts in the secondary are going to be really tricky. Hairston will probably go to IR allowing them to keep someone else who can be on the roster but probably not the gameday roster. That might be strong. He could then end up on the practice squad when Hairston returns in week 7 or whichever week.

and you are way too sensitive when anyone says anything about a Bills player that isn't a compliment. I am bummed hairston is hurt because the team needed a corner to step in and take that spot. Now its basically a mystery since white is limited and unfortunately always injured. I also at the same time am not a huge fan of the pick, between the off the field stuff and the injury its a big blow to the team. if this guy can't get on the field by week 7 or 8 and be the starter and get ready for the second half of the season the team will be not as good as it could be. That is my issue. I really liked the draft but I just don't like the hairston pick as much as the rest of the draft. Just my opinion. I am not jumping to any conclusions but if he ends up redshirted and playing in a limited basis that is a big blow. Also my opinion is that the defensive free agents are at best role players to take snaps I am very concerned about the defense. They needed help this offseason in a pretty serious way and I am not quite sure they are going to get it from the offseason the front office had. Sanders, Hancock and Walker look like they will be players with real roles who will help. I am not sure any of the other guys will at this point and that starts with Hairston if he is just a guy this year. it's an opinion. Please by all means rage on. That is not my intent. I am just sharing my opinion here like everyone else. I read about a million posts here that Coleman and Kincaid were bad picks from day one and the posts are continuing still to this day. I like both players and you don't see me getting all upset about it or looking to "rage" post whatever the hell that is.

Pretty sure you can make the case the mvp qb and terrific running back also made the offensive line look a little better than it is. that is how it usually works.

He was directly involved in two of the biggest plays of the year last year with the fumble by jackson and the stop of henry in the ravens game. Whatever his limitiations are he was in position and made plays in the biggest moment. and yes I know the chiefs game was not great but it wasnt't good for any member of the bills defense.

I'm not interested in saying either. I hope he is back by week 7 and actually helps the team. I am just not a big fan of the pick and the injury has made it a bummer that he will not be on the field helping the team right away. First round picks if they take off right away can escalate a teams success instantly. same goes for any draft pick but generally 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks are the ones that can really help a team get better instantly. That is not the case this year, much like last year for bishop. for some reason saying that is a major problem here just like having any independent thought is. Pretty Odd that being dissapointed in a 1st round pick getting hurt and his season being a complete unkown draws so much ire. I look forward to the sad face and thumbs down emoji's.

Yea I am not driving 1600 miles and paying for a hotel on my way up and back without having tickets in hand. Guess I am just weird like that.

Thats fine if you live in Buffalo or close by. If you are making a cross country trip or something similar that involves hotels etc. you can't count on getting tickets in the last 24 hours.

I have been waiting for prices to change for either the saints or bucs games. Bucs game is cheaper but I prefer to come home and attend a game in late september and enjoy a real fall for the weekend as opposed to potential freezing rain or worse in november. Prices are crazy so far.

I say it because he has had a very sketchy start here imo. No matter what you think of his off the field issue, it is real and an issue. He is hurt and will not be on the field to start the season, he was drafted to be the starter and have white guiding him through the season. Now white who is always hurt is penciled in as the starter. its a bad situation. If he comes back like week 7 and plays lights out then none of it will have mattered I guess if the team is playing well. If he basically ends up red shirted because of this its a major blow to a team that has serious issues in its defense and used its most valuable resource on him. This will be back to back years they took a player they hoped would step right in and start in the secondary who end up hurt and miss camp and will not be what they expected during the year. Those are big blows to a team. Its unfortunate but its reality. this is a major issue for a team trying desperately to find a way to get over the hump. its a long season, hopefully he will be back at some point and help the team.

It's a major bummer not having your first round draft pick playing and making an impact to help your team win. Just feels like a bad pick all around at this point.

ha! yea I meant Cape Cod Creamery

I just went to Cape Cod for vacation and it looked exactly like the Cale Cod Creamery (Great Place) all these fancy boutique ice cream places are great.

To be fair, that is 6 eastern. I am In the central time zone and turn them on when they start at 5 my time each morning.

He hasn't asked to be paid like Barkley. He asked high because that is normal for any negotiations. Also we have no idea what his agent actually asked for. That is important to keep in mind. We also have no idea what Shakir would have asked for had he not been resigned. Shakir has accounted for 9 touchdowns in his career about a third of Cook's. Cook deserves more money than shakir because he is a better player and produces more. He is better than Williams whether or not he plays all 3 downs also. He is a unique playmaker and is a perfect fit with this team. IMO, he should have been paid before Shakir and then they could have gone to Shakir with his deal. Giving Cook 3 or 4 years at 12 or 13 million is not going to stop the team from doing business with the guys they want to keep going forward.

Yea i am on the Pay cook train. Not having a fully invested Cook for this season would be a huge blow. They paid shakir, they should pay Cook. Cook is the more productive and better player. If I was cook that would be my issue.

I agree on the ball coming out quick but at the same time the giants got home repeatedly yesterday rushing four. Those first two drives trubisky was under pressure each play. lots of teams get home rushing four. You have to have the talent to do It however.

While I agree, there should be some level of concern in regards to the defensive line. The giants threw the ball 51 times and the bills only got close a few times. the giants were without their left tackle and wr#1. The ball came out quick and Buffalo was without Bernard, rapp and bishop but still. scheme or not, generally when a team plays its starters on the defensive line in a home preseason game vs other teams backups they get home a few times. It’s just part of the sloppy play of preseason. mine of yesterday means anything and they will scheme lineman into favorable matchups and get sacks but it has to be a little concerning that no one could beat the guy In front of them and get home over 51 pass attempts.

I literally said I know what bosa is. We all do. and I also said hopefully walker, sanders, Hancock and strong continue to improve so they can help. I liked seeing Hancock today. He looked like he belonged and seemed in position over and over. Walker is going to have a big role in pass rush situations. They are going to scheme his abilities into some big plays. Sanders looks like he belonged every snap. preseason is about man to to man or one on one football, going out there and beating the guy in front of you without a plan other than being a better athlete. My hope for the day was that a number of these guys would look like they belong. IMO some did and some didn’t. I think ogunjobi, hoecht and Forrest were bad signings and they looked pretty pedestrian on the field today. When the real games start and they are given a role or if they are I am sure they will scheme them into what they do best. Today, I didn’t see any of those guys do anything that showed they have the ability to make plays that will help the team and demand they get snaps. The rookies I mentioned imo did, they look like guys who will help. and as far as bosa goes I believe he is a declining player with major injury concerns who commits a lot of penalties. I don’t expect much from him. I don’t like the free agent class on defense and have not from day one. I hope I am wrong because if I am not this team is going to end up around 11-6 and the 3 or 4 seed meaning they have to go to KC and Baltimore each just to get to the Super Bowl.

I am watching Dallas and the rams. Dallas is playing all backups for some reason and they looked awful. They might have the worst group of corners in the league. all their penciled in starters are hurt. i wanted to see Donovan ezeiraku and he looked pretty helpless against the run.

I am not a fan as I have stated many times of the defensive free agent class. I am of the opinion that it was really bad and Beane blew it. Today didn’t make me feel any different. Ogunjobi, hoecht, Forrest all looked pretty pedestrian at best. I don’t care how bosa played today because I know who he is as a player. If they missed on Jackson and Hairston is on ir to start the season this defense is going to cost this team a bunch of games. That is just to many misses in one offseason on the defensive side of the ball when they are in desperate need for difference makers. Hopefully sanders, walker, Hancock and strong can help and improve each week.

Every teams broadcast does this for every preseason game. these games are pointless in this era and the teams use them as marketing opportunities to sell more stuff to fans and keep things light hearted.

Defensive line. Can’t wait to see Jackson, sanders, Solomon. hoping Hancock and strong look like nfl players and not lost. also, I am expecting ogbunjobi to be a spare who get pushed around. I hope tre and benford only play a series

Good grief.
