How about Ken “Holding” Jones. They had to change his number to try to hide him from the refs.

How about Das Boot? The x-factor to me is if his college-style low Cruise missile kicks can rip through during the crazy wind games at OP. It’s the analogue of Allen’s arm. Low hang time but just pounded on a spiral. Does the returner get a chance to field it? sure, but under those conditions you WANT them to try to catch it. -
Rd 2, Pick 63 (31): RB James Cook, Georgia
Ralonzo replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
No offense but that feels like post-draft afterglow. He doesn’t seem the body type for a 3-down all-day type. But what he does have is some WR capability from the RB position, just as Shakir claims to have RB capabilities from the WR position. If this is what Dorsey requested from Beane (and the Howard signing and McKissic pursuit seems to bolster that) then that’s a bunch of guys with position flex to potentially allow the same players to run multiple personnel groupings. That would drive defenses nuts, and force them to play base rather than personnel specific schemes. Allen would kill that with fire like the first month of 2020. -

You must be using Google as a search engine. Try something non-Alphabet. It's unfathomable that some obscure borscht-bathed backwater has been literally the most critical foreign actor in US politics since they overthr... I mean, helped to liberate it in 2014. What's the reason for that? Here's a hint: Zelensky is basically Sonny Bunz running the Bamboo Lounge for Pauly and the crew.

some of that probably led to drafting Tenuta, his pro day was very different than his combine. That said, passing on Wydermyer and leaving him as a priority FA was the right move because for him It’s a desirable opportunity to earn a wide-open TE3 spot on one of the league’s best teams. Sweeney has fallen pretty flat on the chances he’s been given.

It should be every American’s privilege to send their kids to fight and die for the right of Ukrainian companies to have all the democracy they need to appoint the kids and pals of American political leaders to their boards and wire them millions of dollars. Just like the last n-1 wars. Who could possibly object to this noble goal? Screw you Cucker Tarlson.

It’s mitigated by the different footed-ness of the kickers, unless someone is on the roster who can adequately hold for the lefty. It’s an emergency thing but probably won’t be a big consideration post-covid. -

Ralonzo replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall
Last year, a bad punter did indeed hurt them, probably cost them home field, maybe even a championship. Hence the draft pick. I'm going to take a little solace in what Beane said about competition, and while it might be boilerplate, and necessary to say it, I think between the lines Beane and McD know what cost them last year and where they need to improve and they've been doing exactly that: from coaching (OL, ST) to pass rush (#40) to cornerback (1st rounder). Except of course Edmunds -

I like Beane but I'm going to disagree with him here and paraphrase Bill Parcells: Haack is exactly what his record was last season. The weather was crap in most games but that's part of being a punter in Buffalo. He doesn't get 8 games in South Florida any more. He also turned the tide of the Steeler game for a loss and did his damnedest to lose the Jets game. That video above still shows Araiza working on hang time and he's got it. Looks good. Directionally, looks good. The 3-step is an issue, but the first step is a short one and should be coachable. Araiza's 3-step looks quicker than Haack's molasses steps anyway. The one scout said he was Bojorquez. That means 3 or 4 shanks a season. Haack did that in one game. I'd take a rookie who is currently at a Bojo level who is an athlete, coachable and a process guy, and on a rookie contract. It's like Bass and Hauschka (who was admittedly washed), the brass will account in the evaluation for potential, and contract, and term. Haack has a high high hill to climb - he doesn't need to be better than last year to win the job, he needs to be much better than he ever has been, or Araiza has to go full Gary Andersen. -
Rd 2, Pick 63 (31): RB James Cook, Georgia
Ralonzo replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
James won’t be a lead back or a bell cow but what differentiates him from 90% of backs is that he is not limited in the passing game to “release and present numbers” routes. Most of what Georgia did with him looks like what the Saints do with Kamara - most of the time. Run him on quick hitters, or have him release to the flat as an outlet. (That may have something to do with QB limitations too) But once in a while, they’ll use ‘em in a place that you don’t see RBs pre-snap, like wide on the boundary. Each of those guys can run routes like receivers, track the ball like receivers, catch like receivers. That’s the X-factor with Cook or Kamara. You leave them isolated on a LB at the boundary, that’s a tremendous mismatch, unlike, say, Patrick DiMarco on a wheel route. I was a proponent of Cook in the 3rd or 4th pre-draft, I hoped for Andersen in the 2nd and Cook in the 3rd as the draft developed, but I’m not going to be put off of what I saw as Cook’s possibilities in this offense due to a perceived reach on draft value. -

You know how Allen running the ball gives the Bills an extra blocker? Araiza punting the ball gives the Bills an extra coverage man. -
Point taken, but that reel showed more in the way of penetration than anchor, which lends more to what is asked from 3T as a disruptor. Harry had the strength and anchor but didn't have that kind of twitch to win off the snap that often or get small through the gap, diagnose and track sharply. So primarily 1T. Pat Williams did his damage shooting the A gap that way, and I wouldn't consider him a true 3T. He was just quick off the snap, and big, and strong, and could destroy the inside gaps. It's a stretch to take a dozen plays and project the guy to begin with but it's a first impression.
