    Was waiting for him to speak again - with this being the biggest change think everyone has been waiting to hear what he has to say, esp since now he has had the chance to at least initially match roster to scheme

     

    And yes I also can't stop staring at the logos 😛

    Landon Jackson played in a similar scheme at college (pretty much confirmed he's going to play 4i), and played at 285lb as a sophomore. No wonder he was gleaming at OTA because, as everyone ever had done a job in his/her life can relate to, he got confidence back: yeah I was at that weight and did that job before. Techinically, many have observed that he's kind of stiff and playing as DE on the edge, it requires him to handle a lot of situations and being more fluid in motion. Now he's inside against interior O-Line more, strength and reach mean more to him, as well as less thinking: holding up to the guy(s) infront of you or getting thru that guy. I'm not going to compare him to any JJ Watt arch type. Yes he proved he could do it in college. To prove that you can do it against guys in NFL is very much appreciated (forget about any domination for now).

     

    Carter is a different story. He's always been a penetrating type of guy in college at just over 300lb, though his best traits is stout at stopping the run. He stayed for 5th year to get his 8 sacks to be drafted in day 2. So far in NFL, he looked lacking elite traits to rush the passer as a DT, and he is not strong enough to anchor against run. I heard the movement of him adding weight actually started last year, signaling to me that the Bills wanted him to be more of a run stuffer, i.e. Daquan Jones replacement. With the change of Defensive scheme, he's naturally slotted to Play 0 technique, which is why he's now getting to 320 and climbing.  But he has never played at that weight before, and technique may change somewhat; so a lot of unknowns, even to him. For example, is carrying the extra weight caused the injury he suffered last year? What happens now he's adding more weight this year?

    Here is Jackson's interview after practice where he says he played at 285 his junior year, and he's excited bc the new defense is similar to what he played in college.

     

    Also interesting response when asked to compare DL coach last year and this year - seems to be happier with the new coach

    Maybe it’s just me, but, while Landon Jackson looks bigger, Groot looks trimmer. Must be prepping for that stand up edge conversion. 

    In the set of pics from the previous OTAs - Groot look lean in a good way

    The latest video showed a backhoe with the concrete breaker attachment busting up the concrete in the lower bowl.

     

     

    Yeah I saw that and it was what made me wonder - wasn't sure if the wreckage in the bowl was just damage from the machine driving over it - it looked like it was working on the structure at the top of the bowl and drove in the bowl for access

    The design decisions for the video board were discussed in the 'Built for Buffalo' series episode 4: https://www.buffalobills.com/video/2025-new-highmark-stadium-progress-revealed-exclusive-inside-access-built-for-buffalo-episode-4

    From the beginning the team felt that they wanted video to support the action, but they weren't going to get caught up in how much video board square footage do we have.  We weren't going to get into that LED arms race as far as trying to beat out SoFi or Allegiant type situation.  With anything else, just the clarity and precision in those screens are state of the art

    1. I know he owns the team, but please don't let Terry call the new guys. The less talk Terry does the better. Maybe tell him the draft war room is in Florida next year. 

     

    Apropos of nothing, I had subtitles on when I watched - and when Bell addressed Pegula the subtitle said "Mr. Goop"  😄

    Vrabel and Russini cheating on their spouses together ? Rumor

    Plus he’s a proven cheater which Kraft looks for on resumes.  Can’t sweep it under the rug in Denver, but in NE the organization has his back.

    McDaniels is prob the one person currently in the NFL who is a bigger arrogant cheating POS human than Meathead.  It is crazy how his proven cheating in Denver has just been swept under the rug like all the Pats*** 'dynasty' cheating.  If Meathead leaves and McDaniels replaces him, just  more fuel to my Pats*** hate furnace.
