Brand J

Even though they tested similarly athletically, I think Donald is much more powerful and has better pass rush moves. Donald also has to have a low body fat percentage because he’s got washboard abs; that’s sort of unnatural at a squat 285 lbs.

I think Feliciano was the one who started it, not sure who says it now. EDIT: there was another video similar to this one, where Josh was firing everyone up pregame and when they broke and headed to the field, Feliciano could be seen shouting that line in a high-pitched yell. Then someone else followed it, not sure who that was, but could’ve been Beasley or Knox.

Actually Bernard tested extremely well in terms of athleticism, even better than Milano. His size was his only hindrance. https://ras.football/ras-information/?PlayerID=21084

Also, it’s almost daily Terrell Bernard is receiving some sort of praise. We may have a playmaker, ladies and gents!

I agree 100%, don’t put anything extra on the guy in red, however, did you see the “hit” from the second angle? The first angle wasn’t as clear, so I couldn’t see how much of a shoulder Jordan gave him, but the 2nd angle showed a “much ado about nothing,” tap, even for the guy in red.

Don’t like the reports I’m hearing of Elam being overly grabby. If he was a vet with a rep like Stephon Gilmore or Darrelle Revis, he could grab a ton and the refs would mostly keep the flags in their pockets… but as a rookie? I expect lots of flags if his style is so noticeable that the media reports on it daily.

In the MattvsMatt Puntapalooza, Buscaglia says Araiza won the day, his 2nd straight practice win. The results after 8 punts: Haack Avg yards: 43.1 Hang time: 4.46 Araiza Avg yards: 48.4 Hang time: 4.39

First time hearing Edmunds’s name in camp, since the rookie reports of him towering over his fellow defensive players… …Just poking the fire, I hope he balls out this year!

Apparently had they stayed at that pick, the decision would’ve been between Odell and TE Eric Ebron, with Bills brass reportedly leaning towards Ebron. That was under the Whaley regime where leaks were more available.

“A little shoulder” is better than the alternative, where Josh actually hits the ground. But yes, the guy in red is untouchable in practice, even if he’s the size of a linebacker.

Always think it’s more of a concentration issue with Knox instead of ability. If it was ability he wouldn’t make many of the tough catches he hauls in. That said, after training his eyes/mind to concentrate for two consecutive offseasons, it’s a little concerning reading he’s still dropping gimmes. Maybe that’s just who he is and if it is, that lack of consistency will prevent him from becoming a top 5 TE. He has all the other measureables to be considered.

Remember when Beane talked about Bernard shortly after he was drafted? He said Bernard could play both spots and that him at MLB would look differently than Tremaine, but believes he could do it. Bernard is actually even more athletic than Milano and from these early reports seems like a fast, instinctual LBer. Doesn’t matter if you run a 4.5 if you’re slowed down by mental processing, so I like that he’s already playing fast having barely learned the defense.

If Mac Jones had Buffalo’s weapons I think he’d be a legitimate concern. His arm strength is much talked about, but it’s decent enough, better than a Chad Pennington. He can get the ball to where it needs to be. Stop comparing his arm talent to Josh Allen, it’s not fair to him. And he doesn’t need Allen’s arm strength, he just needs to know where to go with the football, but needs playmakers to be able to do something with it. He lacks those weapons.

Edmunds is the defensive captain, the player with the green dot on his helmet. McD’s comments don’t equate to “I guarantee we’re signing him to an extension” they’re just that - comments on Tremaine’s position as a leader. Don’t create contractual absolutes where there are none.

Man, there’s been A LOT of praise coming from Bernard, his speed, and his coverage skills, stretching all the way back to rookie minicamp. Ideally he’d play Milano’s position in the 4-2-5, but if he continues to progress he’ll have to find a role on the field. Maybe that means taking Taron Johnson off and running a 4-3 more often, I don’t know. Taron is a CB with a LB mentality so we’ve been able to get away with running 70% nickel.

Good to see so many newcomers making an impact. 4/5 on that list. Blackshear is the UDFA RB who said he models his game after another star RB. EDIT: he actually compared himself to Debo Samuel, not another RB.

I knew the Bills as a team would still be ranked in the 80s, despite being Super Bowl favorites in nearly every sports book out there. What I didn’t think, was that low rating would be good enough to rank second amongst teams in the league. They’ve got stingy with those ratings. When I played Madden religiously back in 2004/2005, this same Bills team may have ranked 95 overall as a team.

Webster went further to say how players would sleep over at his house, known as Club 58. I don’t know if that and everything else he does is rare in the sporting world, but Webster seems to believe so.

It came off as a bit of an awkward conversation between the two, but hopefully they’re close and vibing in other ways the camera isn’t capturing. But one of their first “get to know you” exchanges definitely could’ve gone smoother. And just as Von pushed Aaron Donald to lead more, perhaps he has knowledge to impart to Maine in that area.

It’s available. But Kayvon Webster says it’s his heart. Miller is so open and generous with his teammates and everyone else, so that makes him the rarest guy. He gets along with everyone. Great, long article.

Tremaine seemed to be getting annoyed by Von’s repeated questioning.

Yeah I didn’t mean that Emmitt wasn’t a very good RB, but I said he was most overrated at his position because at one point the discussion was “who was the greatest RB of all time? Emmitt or Barry?” He’s mentioned among the greats and he wouldn’t even be in my top 5 (Sanders, Brown, Payton, Simpson, Sayers). Top 10? Not sure, but that’s a more debate worthy discussion where he could duke it out with A Peterson, T Thomas, M Faulk, E Dickerson, L Tomlinson, B Jackson, and E Campbell.

If Eddie George was a Cowboy during those years and Emmitt Smith ran for the Oilers/Titans, how do you think the production would’ve fared for each player in their new environment? Would Emmitt still be as highly regarded as Eddie George was while running behind an inferior line? I think Eddie George behind that Cowboys OL would’ve been scarier than Emmitt Smith. Just my opinion.

Emmitt Smith. He had the luxury of running behind the most physical and athletic OL the NFL had to offer for years.

It was a fascinating interview because you never knew what player or coach they’d start talking about and they didn’t seem to hold back. Asante’s opinion of himself throughout was eye opening for me, I never looked at him as the first ballot HOFer he believes he should be.
