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.

This is what happens when we don’t have updates to read. The thread goes in its own direction. Also won’t find the classiest Bills fans on this message board as @Leftbower continues to remind me with his roll eye emojis.

@HappyDays you and your updates were desperately missed today 😅

Guess I’m sensitive to jokes involving one’s mother. Would rather do without them on this message board period, but you do you, I suppose.

It did when you went beyond belittling the poster. Just saying, you don’t know the guy’s mother or family background, keep the disses to him without the extra.

Did you not bring up the guy’s mother?

How did mothers get involved in this thread? Family attacks should be off limits.

Uh oh

Was someone blaming it on the training staff? None of these injuries are their fault, not even soft tissue ones like hamstring pulls and strains. The staff can only do so much, ultimately it’s on the player to increase flexibility throughout the year and not just in camp.

Believe you’re thinking of the normal sprain where the ankle bends outward. A high ankle operates the opposite direction, where the ankle bends inward, toward the other leg. Also believe I read that Shakir got rolled up on during a running play. Probably an offensive lineman rolled into his leg.

Is this info legit?

Parsons will never hit open free agency, so if a team wants to acquire him it’d have to be through trade.

I think it was under “sexy” Rexy that the team actually scrimmaged in these night practices, no?

I’d be against it too if Beane hit big on at least a few other blue chippers besides Allen. Rousseau is probably his 2nd best first round draft pick given position and production. Would you trade Rousseau, Edmunds, and Elam/Kincaid/or Oliver for Parsons? I know I sure would.
