Hold in: the player shows up to practice but doesn’t practice. He watches his teammates work while he rides a stationary bike. This approach avoids the $50K per day fine. Hold out: the player stays away from all team related activities and is fined $50K per day for each day he misses.

He was when the pads weren’t on. The pads came on and he was injured a bit, but it doesn’t sound like he’s standing out like he was earlier according to this Mike Rose guy. I do think Moore being in danger of getting cut might be an exaggeration.

According to Joe B, Jordan Hancock has been more impressive at safety than Forrest, which of course is intriguing and disappointing at the same time.

Have the Ravens had any real camp injuries?

Ulofoshio’s chances of making the team were just solidified (assuming the Bills roster 6 LBs). Haven’t heard his name all camp.

The worst early cancellation in the history of cancellations in my opinion.

If Cook and the Bills can’t come to an agreement, I’d love to find a back in next year’s draft who’s even more explosive and faster than James (like a Jonathan Taylor type) and wouldn’t care if he was a first round pick. As it stands, the team has no glaring holes.

Baylon Spectator. You’ve gone and done it 😂

I watched on the MAX app at the same time it aired, 9PM EST which was 6PM PST for me.

Bills saw what everyone else has seen. No use in keeping him rostered if he can’t stay available. Might be the most injury prone Bill I can remember.

TE#4 at worst. By all accounts he’s gotten more first team reps with Knox out and has been making plays (again) this camp. Didn’t expect to see Latu’s name as 3rd string ahead of Davidson. And I hope Hawes is the best blocking TE in the entire NFL, but it’s a bit too early to give him that title.

Spoiler alert, season 1 of The Wire was solid, not spectacular, just solid. Season 2 was a TOTAL bore, seasons 3 & 4 are the meat and potatoes of the show. Absolutely great stuff with some calling season 4 the best written season in TV history (I’m more partial to 3). Season 5 was back to being okay.

Search “Hard Knocks” if you don’t see it there. Should come up. Great first episode, like an extended version of Behind the Blue & Red.

Joe B said Jordan Hancock has been more impressive than Forrest, which surprised me. Also a little surprised to see Zach Davidson so low on the chart.

Surely they wouldn’t be that delusional. There were reports the two sides were close.

Oh, I’m sure they have been. But Kyren’s contract sets a comparative marker. If Cook and his camp believed they were worth $15M/yr, but just saw a comparable back sign for $11M/yr, they have to know they’re not getting $15M in free agency. All other teams can point to the contracts similar backs make and Cook will have to face the music.

Yeah, the stuff about Parsons and his run stopping ability is overblown. We lose in the playoffs every. single. year. for one reason and one reason only and hint: it’s not because we have trouble stopping the run.

Should help Cook’s camp come to terms if they were already close.

I’ve gotta know who hooked up Brady’s hair. Went from thinning and on the way to balding (like his father) to a full, thick mane. Supposedly some clinic in Rhode Island, I need the deets 😅

Sounds like he’s been tossing more picks than usual, but hopefully that’s because the defense is much improved. He also may be taking a few more chances to see what he can get away with.

They’ve won twice. The other was the pass Charles Clay dropped while diving on the goal line.

Yeah, Spector* is always hurt. If I’m the Bills I go ahead and make the cut at the end of camp. I guess it’d be different if he was a physical freak, or his play warranted starting consideration, but you can get what he gives in a more dependable player.

Is the team joint practicing with another this year?

Just gonna say this one last thing and be done with it… I grew up around trash talkers myself and know the jokes. They actually had a comedy show back in the day called “Snaps” it was only “yo momma” jokes. The show was hilarious. When I clicked on this thread hoping to see the day’s training camp news, I came across MWK’s poor attack on one of our own and then the (rightful) barrage of criticism levied his way. I didn’t respond after reading the first “momma in the basement” comment, but felt compelled to say something after reading the second. There’s a difference between a joke (the “sensitive momma” clap back eball said to me) versus attacking a poster with a cut down that relies on bringing up their mother. One is clearly a joke, the other is a diss, and I felt referencing one’s mother in an ill intentioned cut down had no place here. As it turns out, MWK’s mother has passed, so it also should’ve served as a “foot in mouth” moment for eball (and for the other posters with their thumbs down and roll eye emojis). That’s my take on it.

I would imagine on some level sitting out would have to be extremely difficult for Cook. Even if the discourse is over money, the one thing injured players say is the toughest thing about being injured is watching your teammates move on without you. The NFL doesn’t wait until you’re healthy or contracts are settled. If you’re not on the field, someone else will be and they’ll be taking all of your reps. Has to eat at him, I’d guess his agent suggested the “hold in” if that’s what he’s doing.
