If we cut Moore and IR Samuel, this makes sense. And I would rather have Davis than either of those guys in their current state. This gives us a starting group of Shakir, Palmer, Coleman, Shavers and Davis. Davis is a backup and gets vet minimum, if he can pass a physical. I'll take the bad with the good of Davis in a backup role- who else has his upside that is available?

To me, he seems to be moving in the same direction as Baylon Spector. If his contract wasn't toxic he's already be gone.

Chefs, food critics and foodies all agree--the tenderest meat on the planet is Wagyu Beef. Japanese cattle carefully bred, the meat has a marbling that make it moist, tender and flavorful. It melts in your mouth. You can cut it with a fork. It's very expensive. And among the Wagyu cattle the most prized is Kobe beef from Tajima Castle. These cows are spoiled during their life-treated delicately, fed succulent grasses and beer, and even given daily massages with rice wine vinegar. The result- perhaps the most tender meat in the world. But they are wrong. The most tender meat in the world is found on Baylon Spector's calf. Baylon Spector's calf has also been-conditioned -over several seasons -into a soft, delicate, fall-off-the-bone (literally) meat, and it is expensive also. So highly valued it rarely arrives on the plate. Feel that. A soft summer wind arises at Highland Park, refreshing the sweaty athletes. Listen to the murmur of cicadas. Hear the rip at the five knot breeze tears baylon Specter's muscle from his tibia. I want a Baylon Specter calfburger.

One of my real joys being a Bills fan in Florida was watching Jimmy Johnson as coach of Miami strip Dan Marino of all his talented offensive players, flop over and over at getting a running back, and overspend on a good defense that never delivered championships. One of my great dreads is if some fans on this board get their way- and we let guys like James Cook go, and never get a #1 receiver, because we believe Josh Allen is the only dynamic player we need on offense (OL complicates things -they offer talent but they are not dynamic). James Cook scored 16 td's last year and demonstrated the only big-play capability we had besides Allen himself. We can't chuck him away casually because "culture" or "honor the contract" or any other ideas we often arbitrarily throw at players. That is, if we want a Superbowl. I know I want a Superbowl. He's also not Derrick Henry or Saquan Barkley. He doesn't get 20 million a year. If the Bills say 10 mil they are lowballing, if he says 20 he is unreasonable. 15 million may still be too rich for my taste. 12.5 million.

Big fan of locked on Bills. Very fair-neither fanboy or gloom and doom. Joe Marino does his research-he's not an access merchant. He draws a lot of logical conclusions about the team.

What exactly do you mean there?

If he received wrapped gifts, someone else please remove the wrapping paper. Infected paper cuts = four more games missed.

I'm trying to be realistic. Rousseau 9.5 sacks (incremental improvement but not double digit) Bosa 5.5 sacks (health issues and limited use, but has supreme skills) aj 5 SACKS (because that's what he always does) Landon 3.5 sacks (still a rookie) Solomon 2 sacks (even a blind squirrel finds a nut once and a while -not a big believer, but will get enough opportunity). 25.5

They should name the child "Hard." And then ask HBO for sponsor fees.

I think our ideal combo with the greatest upside is Bishop at SS and Forrest at FS. That's their natural positions. Ideally, we recreate a Poyer and Hyde combo. Poyer was the SS and Hyde the FS, and while on specific plays they could and did switch as coverage dictated, this doesn't mean they were 50% interchangeable and that the Bills didn't have dedicated safety positions. Right now the coaching staff has a lot of faith in Rapp, and they should-he is underrated by Bills fans. So we are reluctant to move him out of SS -but we also want the draft capitol of Bishop on the field, so we are unnaturally slotting him into the FS position, where he has more upside than Hamlin, who is an inspirational story but a JAG -he's not bad, he's not good, he's a veteran who won't make many mistakes but has low upside athletic potential. Ideally Bishop shows enough the coaching staff are confident he can handle SS as well or better than Rapp, and Forrest also has a strong camp and wins the FS position. I feel its more likely that we start with Rapp at SS and Bishop as FS (yes they will interchange on certain plays and schemes, like Poyer/Hyde) but it will take the almost inevitable injury to the hard charging (friend or foe) Rapp to move Bishop to his natural SS safety spot, and Forrest to the FS spot, and we have the ideal pair to replace the Poyer/Hyde regime. Unless Forrest blows it in camp. Haven't heard much news on him.

twenty million too much

Last offseason when everyone was saying we wouldn't miss Diggs because Kinkaid would be our number one receiving target, and I said people were overestimating him, the board jumped all over me. Suddenly he is the whipping boy. Well, what if it is neither? I was wrong and we didn't miss Diggs, but it was a system and not Kinkaid who replaced him (although the first 5 games I think the system was designed to funnel the ball to Kinkaid. Didn't work. Hence Amari Cooper as a decoy to open the offense up, and a run game that became dominant with complimentary receivers. I think Kinkaid bounces back but never becomes the focal point of our offense. He does need to improve his physicality, and Josh and he need to get on the same page. The analytics are bad in percentage of catchable balls thrown to him, which is somewhat ransom so should improve. Kinkaid was thriving where teams focused on stopping Diggs, and were not worried about him picking up the extra two yards on his little eight yard curls. A scenario where Kinkaid is once again the "forgotten man" in the offense because teams aren't worried about him would improve his numbers. The irony is once he does improve, teams will take him away once again.

Initially I wanted Amari Cooper back, because he opened up the offense, even as a decoy. I wasn't impressed with his volume/numbers, but I thought we needed him back and with more familiarity with Allen and better health, he would be a weapon. But I think the signing of Plamer indicates we are looking younger and still predicating our offense on spreading the load. No one knows better than the Bills staff whether he is actually washed or not, but from the slow market on both he and Diggs, I think the tape is showing these guys are mere possession receivers now and should be paid well below 10 mil a year - I think they have less value than Hollins. What the Bills need is a young guy from the draft with speed and verticality, and then their WR room is set.

Moulds would be a top three receiver in the league with Josh Allen and our team

Buffalo's last look at him will be him clinging to the plane as it takes off for Dallas.
