This again? 🙄

David Johnson, Philip Lindsay, Mark Ingram, and now Rex Burkhead. Somebody's not making the final 53.

If there's concern from the team over Star, then I think you'll see them pursuing Kawann Short soon. If they don't, then I don't think they're as concerned as everyone else.

You're all missing my main point. And cherry picking the multiple "removes" without reading the context. And that's that his good plays last season - the ones that swing his average - came on plays that didn't matter. 50 yard TD runs when the game was well over. 10+ yard draw plays when the D was more than willing to give him that cushion to prevent the ball going down field on 3rd and 12+

Remove the first year and remove the occasional 50+ yard scamper in garbage time when the opposing D has turtled (like against the Broncos) and remove the 10 yards or so the D would give him in 3rd and 15+ situations and the like - I'd bet that stellar looking average don't look so stellar. When we needed the tough yards, they consistently didn't come last season. Are some of us maybe a little too harsh on him? Perhaps. But let's not overcorrect and point to his inflated ypc to say he's solid. Tell me what the O-Line did wrong on this drive killer in the championship game?

Summed up my thoughts nicely: And more importantly than lack of more Primetime games than anyone else:

It's a village... in the suburbs of Rochester. "The Village of Pittsford is the oldest village in New York incorporated in 1827. The village, an Erie Canal community, is in the Town of Pittsford. Pittsford is a suburb of Rochester, NY." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsford_(village),_New_York Also funny how their urgent care is the University of Rochester https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/urgent-care/ And what exactly does these "upscale bedroom community" and "higher end clientele" comments have to do with anything in regards to the pandemic and whether or not Training Camp will be held? Do you live in Rochester? Or excuse me, one of the many towns and villages that comprise it? Because I do. Actually, I live in Irondequoit. But you know what it says on my mail? Rochester, NY. No one around here says Irondequoit, Greece, Pittsford, Gates, Fairport, etc are not Rochester. Rochester is not just some 10 mile stretch downtown.

This post is extremely confusing. You list all the precautions SJF has done for their paying students. What about that list makes you think they'd be comfortable busing in crowds of the general public to spectate a football team? Btw Pittsford is a township of the city of Rochester. "Higher clientele" (which is pretty offensive) or not.

Exactly. And other things compounding the issue is - a.) There's no on site parking. Fans have to stand in line and pile on to busses to be shuttled to and from Camp. No real way of controlling social distancing and the large public transportation increases risk of exposure. b.) Rochester has cancelled a number of Summer Festivals like Park Ave Fest and moved the Jazz Fest out of the city this year. Things like the Lilac Festival is being spread out over weeks with attendance capped tightly. Opening Bills Training Camp to the public doesn't really jive with how the city has been operating as of late.

I doubt it. As a Rochesterian, I love having them here. But the writing was already kind of on the wall that they were basically riding out the contract and that they preferred their new fancy digs they had built in Buffalo. So why would they go out of their way to come up with a plan and expose themselves to unnecessary risk when it's not required and they probably don't even want to in the first place? Even *if* they did - I'd expect it to be a very limited engagement. One in which it's ticketed, basically invite only for sponsors, and the type that would be in the VIP tents in previous years.

That's what bad teams do. They take big things that happen in a single game and hang their hat on it. It's like the couple times we beat the Patriots during the drought. It'd make the cover of SI and we'd all revel in it for an entire season. Because otherwise, all you've (in this case, the Cardinals) got to focus on is failure.

Star wasn't bad with the Bills. His role is an unsexy one that won't show up on the stats sheet. Did you notice how big of a drop off our D-Line had last season without him? It wasn't a coincidence. He makes the rest of the line better by eating blockers.

Small, slow, MAC back in a time when the RB position has never been more undervalued. Good numbers but no elite traits. Doesn't shock me at all. I didn't see anyone who thought he was going in the 3rd or 4th Round.

So 2 OT's with both our Tackles signed long term, following 2 DE's? Now we've traded down to pick up extra picks when most felt we'd trade up because it'd be hard for 7 to make the roster? I don't get this Draft, at all.

Thing that gets me is - who's getting cut? In my time as a Bills fan, we've only ever kept 4 or 5 DE's on the active roster. Hughes, Addison, Epenesa, and Rousseau are locks. Leaves one roster spot for Obada or Bam Bam. I don't see SIX DE's being kept.

He's a player that the Bills have met with at a position many feel they will go with in the First Round.

Good thing we wouldn't be using a "high" draft pick. Our 1st is a glorified 2nd Rounder. Big difference between taking ETN at 30 when the team doesn't really have any holes and taking Spiller at 10 or Watkins at 4 when the team has huge needs.

I will happily paddle a canoe in a river of all your haters tears if we take Harris or ETN 🚣

I don't like the rule from a consumer standpoint. Nike jerseys are too expensive to be making so many outdated so quickly. Case in point, DeAndre Hopkins is teasing a switch from #10 to #6. And I'd bet a million Cardinals fans bought DeAndre Hopkins new jersey for $120 under a year ago. Hell, there's probably more than a few that randomly bought one within the past couple months. Glad we traded for this guy...

I think your misunderstanding me. What I was trying to say was that with premier positions like DE and CB - at pick 30 you're going to get maybe the 5th ranked player at the position. With the true studs going way higher than where you're picking, ending up with AJ Epenesa type prospects. Wherein RB being devalued in Draft's, it's possible you could get the #1 ranked prospect at the position.

Looking at what this team is missing and the quality of player who would be available by position at 30 - it's Etienne, if he's there. Because the RB position is devalued in the Draft these days, it's probably the biggest bang for your buck when you're picking as low as we are. Any Edge Rusher who's left at 30 I don't see coming in and providing much more than Epenesa did and won't hop Hughes or Addison. Kind of feel the same way about DT. Can't imagine one left that far into Round 1 is hopping Oliver or Star. Maybe Cornerback if the position slides. But although Levi is not thought of as much by fans - he is by McDermott. He always seems to fight off the competition. And much like DE - it's a highly valued position where real studs are picked way higher than 30. It's also a big learning curve position from College to the NFL. So I have a hard time seeing one coming in and immediately throwing Levi to the pine. We'd have to get real lucky with another Tre like pick there.

Anyone saying 4th or lower is talking nonsense. He's a 2nd Rounder on most boards and I don't see him falling much further than early 3rd. Wouldn't shock me in the slightest if we took him in the late 2nd if he's there to replace John Brown's speed and Andre Roberts Kick Returns, in the short term.

Imagine playing hardball with your GM who wanted to sign you to a long term deal and then you end up being a destined to be cut camp competitior to one of the best at your position... and you're a Punter. Whoops! 😆
