  1. I agree too with your first part and think that's where Mitch is at this point in his career. The problem with many of these guys are they are at that point, but in denial so keep trying to find that perfect spot. The problem with trying to learn from Allen is you'd figure out quickly you need to grow to 6'5", improve your speed, and develop a cannon of an arm. You probably would have had a better chance of learning from a guy like Tom Brady as he really didn't have any off the chart stats except win percentage. But he never would have told you anything.
  2. Was that on a ST play or a play from scrimmage?
  3. What's the salary difference between Buechele and White? If Buechele is much cheaper they keep him. I think Buechele will be the emergency QB. White is a good enough established QB that if/when the Bills cut him over the next two days, some other team will pick him up and if I'm a backup QB who hopes to play in NFL games, Buffalo is one of the last places I'd go to on the PS as they have an established #1 and you were just cut so you know you're not even the #2. The only way you play would be Allen gets hurt and is out over a month, Mitch comes in and plays terrible for maybe 2 to 3 games, then they might start White. Go to a team like the Jets, they could be on their 4th QB by November. Plus too I doubt they'd keep 2 QB's on PS and think Buechele gets that spot unless he did enough yesterday that another team picks him up.
  4. To me much of the WR talk will depend on if Samuel gets traded which wouldn't surprise me, Beane is trying to make happen.
  5. If he didn't have those drops and they hadn't drafted the rookie, he probably would make the team for those reasons, but not less likely now.
  6. So that was actually correct? It listed Robbins as holding for FGs so that made me assume Robbins did play
  7. Just tuned in and went back on ESPN gamecast to see who did what. Read the play by play on the two Bills touchdowns, but what I found interesting was it says: "Z.Davidson punts 62 yards to TB 12" I suppose he was struggling catching passes, maybe this is his new way to make the roster.
  8. Yeah it's kind of like Beane saying, "What injury, to who, first we've heard of it"
  9. So the higher a guy is drafted, they get a bigger contract which means the agent also gets a little bigger cut. So can't see agents really pushing for this unless they know their client isn't going to fair well in this process. Can't imagine someone wouldn't "break rank" and then they get drafted higher and get the bigger $$'s
  10. His uncles, neighbors, girlfriend, blind, son works at High Mark. He does face painting there.
  11. I think you're being a little harsh with the word spineless!
  12. Personally if it were up to me, I'd go after Hendrickson before McLaurin, but likely cost more too. But also think Bengals and Mike Brown are more likely to do something stupid too.
  13. True but next week can't a team claim him for their PS. Just like the Bills usually sign one or two players cut from some other team to their PS. Often players will choose the team they feel they have the best chance of sticking with or even getting called up. Maybe that is the Bills, or could it be some other team with a real weak secondary??
  14. But will another team grab him up next Tuesday if we cut him? I suppose nobody else wanted him today, so maybe no one wants him next week either?? If that's their plan, may be best to not play him Saturday so nobody sees him
  15. So I have to assume Howard hurt himself signing his contract?? What's odd about it? All it says to me was Bass is healthy to kick now. And if they were going to cut Davis for beating Allen, they'd have cut him on Friday/Saturday when he actually beat Allen, not three days later when the tape of it comes out. Have to question, what chance does a guy have of making the 53 when he's only signed 56 days before final cutdown day?
  16. He also stated something that based on the results of how the starters played in the scrimmage, he didn't feel they needed to play Sunday.
  17. Actually it reminded me more of the Super Bowl era teams where they went 0-5 in preseason, got blown out too, Levy even made a public apology for the team, then regular season started and went back the the SB again! Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant!
  18. I kind of wonder if every year McD likes them to lay and egg in pre-season to give him something to yell about and to fire up the players themselves.
  19. Agree with you there too, but do think there's also a better chance you'd see Shenault take snaps at WR than Codrington taping snaps at CB Maybe, but think he's less or a terrible receiver that Codrington is a terrible CB
  20. Well spent about 40 minutes chatting with Abby who I fantasize was this cute 20 something little Asian girl. After all the back and forth I got $30 off of ST with Redzone and $42 off my YTTV bill for the next three months. The first offer was access to all these great offers Google has for me to spend more money on, then gave me the $30 off ST. I then asked for $10 off my YTTV bill for a year which she said no too, but after another 10 minutes instead offered me the $42 off for 3 months so took that. I felt like I was dealing with DTV again except there, could call them on the phone. I suppose in a way chatting was better as did allow me to fantasize and didn't even charge me for that.
  21. To me the difference is the Bills have more versatility in the secondary with guys like Lewis, Hancock so they don't need Codrington to play at all, only return. While at WR the Bills don't have that much versatility or maybe not anyone with Shenault's speed so for those reasons I give him the edge. I could see Shenault taking snaps at WR in a game, doubt you'd see that from Codrington on defense.
  22. As long as ticket sale are included in season tickets,, it's not going anywhere. Right now too with 9/8 regular season home game schedule the extra home game for the conference that year with only 8 balances things out
  23. I question too if Bishop should even have played , was he really ready physically, then put him out there with 10 other backups isn't a fair test. I suspect if he were a 3 or 4 year vet, just coming off the injury, he wouldn't have played.
  24. Everything I've been reading makes it sound like the likeliest to be cut or traded is VDM. I suppose if Beane can get a significantly better return with one of the other names traded, things could change there too. Sounds like Lundt is more versicle as can play tackle and some guard. Maybe CVPG gets put on IR, but then who is their backup center? Think the other Edwards may also have a better chance of making the roster if they need depth inside than VDM as been stated, he's tackle only. The only big advantage VDM has is experience which does count for something.
  25. One of the arguments for not giving Cook big $$ is he was never a 3 own back. But that also works in his favor as for a guy his age, he doesn't have the wear and tear on him that many other RB's have. So he could have a longer high level career than others. Like you said even low use in College too.
