Fastest 40 I’ve heard of (laser timed) was a 4.12 by Christian Coleman. It’s on YouTube. Bolt ran a 4.22 without warming up and in sweatpants. I heard the difference between 0.2 seconds is equivalent to 2 yards, so yes, Hill would be close to Olympic sprinters with his 4.28 time (as DK Metcalf was when he raced), but he’d have ZERO chance of hanging with any of them over 60M or 100M. He’d finish dead last, like Metcalf. As our own Marquise Goodwin used to tell us, “I’m fast, but Olympic level speed is a different beast.”

Marino has an infatuation with Kingsley Jonathan. Wonder if he got paid to consistently paint him as a plus.

Jags took one 70 yards against the Chefs, but since it didn’t result in a TD, it’s not being highlighted this morning.

I almost fell for your satire 😅

At the combine Hamlin ran a 4.59 and Rapp crawled his way to a 4.78, so they’d probably be the slowest starting duo as well.

There was one along the right sideline against the Dolphins I believe, that he did drop. It was a difficult ball, but certainly catchable. Think it was the game in Buffalo.

For those who have seen Davidson plenty, how does his game compare to Mike Gesicki?

It’d be the same scenario for both kickers: the ball is at the 35 yard line, :04 left, down by 2. The conditions are perfect, minimal wind. Which kicking unit would you rather see on the field - the one that could win the game (Bills), or the one that could beat you (opponent)?

I’ve got one for you all… would you rather: A) Depend on Bass to hit a 52 yarder to win the Super Bowl? or B) Take your chances with the opposing kicker (could be any of them) and require that he makes a 52 yarder to beat the Bills and win a championship?

Does anyone remember the days of “two-a-day” padded practices? How do the amount of injuries compare then versus now?

So you think Butler would’ve been fired? Because that’s the only way he wouldn’t have returned since he still had a year left on his contract. Elam wasn’t the only player he coached in the secondary and the other DBs came out to say they loved “JB.” The split was said to be amicable, mostly due to Butler’s wishes. They weren’t going to fire a coach who was just in contention for DC. From The Athletic:

Only after Butler didn’t get the defensive coordinator gig. McD said he was torn between Butler and Babich (I’m sure Babich interviewing for multiple teams probably had some influence - he was wanted). All involved say that Butler left to pursue other opportunities. He would’ve been back with the Bills this year as the DB coach if his ego didn’t take a hit.

Didn’t like the landing, looked awkward.

Cook was billed as a receiving back coming out of Georgia, with great hands. Taking into account his drops in extensive playing time last season and his drops in training camp - on perfectly thrown balls no less - I don’t know what to make of him in the passing game. He gets open which is a plus, but if he can’t hold onto the ball, who cares? If Davis can catch the ones Cook can’t, then Davis should get the bulk of pass opportunities.

To be fair, Samuel makes less than a quarter of what the highest paid receivers are making. Jefferson, the highest paid, is at $35M AAV, Samuel is at $8M.

Meanwhile we’ve got kickers hitting 59 yarders against us in the driving rain and 58 yarders to advance to the AFC Championship. Even if Bass isn’t “done,” I don’t think he ever gets close to the level of a Butker or Tucker and that’s what we need him to be.

This is the case with almost all draft picks!

They’re still out there? Practice running late?

Babich talked about him either yesterday or the day before. Gave him some praise, said of course he’d understand leverage since he got a gold medal for it. Said he’s been doing pretty well, but wants to see how it translates to games.

DT Carter was the 3rd rounder.

DBs and LBs don’t block so well. Guys like our supersized athletic Brit were born for this return unit. What I see is that they need more guys blocking who are accustomed to blocking, but they have to be really athletic to get a hand on those guys in space.

The LB cut will be an interesting one, all these guys can play: Milano Bernard Williams Morrow D Jones Ulafoshio Spector

Yeah, I’d like Josh’s floor to raise a bit. He’s going to have off games, I just don’t want those games to cost the team. I don’t want to say “make Josh run the ball!” because the aerial attack is ineffective. When he’s on fire he’s arguably the best in the league, considering how many different ways he can hurt you, but when he’s off… oof. I can easily envision a better version of Josh Allen and I hope we get that (ironically) now that Diggs is off the team.

Sneed gave Hill the business on at least one rep in the AFC playoffs. After the game when the tape was going around, Hill laughed and said something like “he chucked me all the way to Cancun.” And that’s a guy who has Worthy’s speed but outweighs him considerably. Worthy will have to figure out some things on the professional level, no doubt. Of course it’s far too early to write him off, but for Bills fans sakes, I hope he’s a bust.
