SectionC3

Stop the steal!

One of the best RBs I’ve seen play in person. Tough, quick, plays fast. Probably thicker than Cook. But also entering year 8.

Why would it be Van Demark if Dawkins left? Look at it this way - there were some who thought about extending Dawkins this offseason. Perhaps the Bills looked at his dietary issue last year and didn’t trust him with an extension. And, perhaps, in view of said dietary issue they preferred to spend those dollars on a younger, perhaps better model at that position. It’s time to get cold and calculating about this roster, and that would be one way to do it.

That’s a shame. Could have increased it by 60 this year if he simply caught that dime.

See above re his destruction of our IOL in the Bengals divisional round disaster.

They can get the intel in him from trubisky. Not so sure it will be good

Believe me, we have a couple of knuckleheads here. He wouldn’t be alone in that respect if he came here.

What does that have to do with holding?

He also is a holder.

I know it's totally unrealistic and probably a bad idea in the long run, but man I'd like to see them take a run at Chris Jones. He is the straw that stirs that drink.

Can't always punt it out of bounds, but can juice the hang time. Notice that Haack came back on the same day. Might be part of the plan. Elite holder, been here before, and hits a lot of "wedges."

Unfortunately but necessary. Benford and Douglas took his spot. Elam as #3 next year. Mid-round rookie/Ingram and we're there at that position. And, we'll likely use his money to sign our draft class.

Jeudy also strikes me as unfocused and kind of dumb. I'm with you. I want guys who are ultra competitive.

So what would you have done? He's not perfect, but so too is it that nobody is perfect. And, sometimes these mid-roster moves don't work out. If you're blaming Beane for swinging big on Miller and missing, which in turn has prompted some of these issues, that's fine. He took a swing and missed. I don't mind, but I understand the complaint. The response to your beefs about Bates and Hines, for example, is that maybe Beane found guys who took their spots. Hines was brought here to provide speed. Turns out that, after he fell off his ski-doo, Cook turned into a star and basically engulfed his role on offense. And, maybe it is that Anderson showed a lot of promise in camp and took Bates's spot. Bates certainly didn't take Morse's spot, or Torrence's spot, and sometimes this roster evolution happens.

I hope for Bates's sake that he is the next Wyatt Teller. We've had quite a bit of time for that to come to pass, though, and it hasn't happened. Here's what it probably means: 1. Morse will return; 2. Alec Anderson graduates onto the game-day roster; 3. There is a nominal cap savings (Anderson's replacement is cheaper than Bates); 4. Beane has a little extra capital to burn on something like a trade up, or a special teams option (gotta replace Matakevich and maybe Siran Neal), or a Bates replacement, or a "one special trait" guy, or whatever he desires as we try to get the roster a bit younger.

This really isn't a huge deal. At some point we have to trust younger guys. It appears that we're going to trust younger guys (Anderson, specifically) as IOL backups. Maybe Edwards stays, maybe he doesn't. But Anderson moves into Bates's spot, and someone young and cheap will move into Anderson's spot. Agreed. Morse likely stays. We likely see some movement on Hyde in the next few days, too. He's in town.

All of life is a trailer park boys episode. The sooner you accept it, the sooner you’re able to understand how something as bizarre as this (allegedly) could occur.

Hoax.

Hoax. There's this little shared culture thing in the Southwest.

Irrespective of whether this allegation is true, Hill is a scumbag. And, in the court of public opinion, one would think that he has lost the benefit of the doubt. I'll add only that this allegation is completely on-brand for this guy.

I didn’t say that I thought it was a good idea, or that it had merit, or that I agreed. You asked for a basis for such an action, and I gave it to you.

Negligent misrepresentation.

Who said anything about killing babies?

Exactly. Lie with dogs, get fleas. Or, in this case, get ripped off.

Hoax. Smallpox disagrees. I bet you get all the chicks when you start talking about reproductive freedom.
