Different situation, but I was at one of the KC games a couple of years ago, and doing my best to make noise when we were on Defense, and encouraging other Bills fans to do the same. The woman next to my wife, a Chiefs fan, asked her to tell me to not make so much noise when they were on Offense, because it was distracting to the platers, which of course made me even louder. (respectful cheering) At one point Jordan Phillips walked over towards the stands, found me in the crowd, pointed at me and then started waving his arms to get other Bills fans engaged. (I was 10 rows back) That is a very loud stadium, and it is hard to make an impact as an opposing fan, but I always try...

I will be there. I already bought my airline ticket, which was way too expensive this far in advance. I still need my hotel room and game tix. (which are way over-priced too) That said, my buddy and I had plans to go to the Vegas game in 2020, which ended up not happening, for obvious reasons, so this was a must attend game, even though it will be way too expensive..

And there was much rejoicing…

Right? I was gonna say “what took so long?” how is he not in already?

Or London, with our opponent already having 2 weeks to settle in and adjust.

Vegas flight is booked.

Yeah, I feel about the same way. I even have a Milano jersey, because I always like to represent someone from Defense. At his peak, he was SO good, but unfortunately, he did not stay at that level for very long.

so we don't consider #32 wacky anymore? I am wondering if that number will ever go to a player that sticks around for awhile.

Everyone talks about "coaching trees" but Beane is out here building up a nice little GM tree. The front office must be doing something right.

I voted Milano. I am honestly surprised that he is not re-signed yet. I loved the way Shaq played for us last year, but I am guessing his price tag will be a bit out of our range. If Milano hs anything left in the tank, he will be back.

I personally feel as though you are underestimating his skill set by quite a bit. Obviously only time will tell. Pass rush is important, and I believe he will apply a decent amount of pressure on opposing QB’s, even in his rookie season. But the way he sets edge, and disrupts the run game, is well above average. Sacks are important, and an obvious area that needs improvement, but our run Defense has been even worse and a major weakness, especially in the playoffs. I am really excited to see the Jim Leonhard defense in action and believe we have the right personnel to pull it off. I am not sure how long it will take Hoecht to return to form, but I believe he will excel in this D, once he does.

Makes contact at the line, and then maintains it for as long as he can. Then he follows it up with enough speed to keep up with most WR’s. He will be fun to watch.

I am not saying this just because of recency bias, but in general, I am not a Dane of Zierlein as a talent evaluator.

In reality, Red may have never even made the team, and this guy has the potential to be our starting Guard in the next year or 2. Much better value in my opinion.
