They really probably ought to do that anyway, but good point.

Don't forget the obligatory "Super bowl!" salute every time some scrub that adds to the back end of the roster is signed. It might just barely have registered as humorous the first time.

It should be a warning to all.

I think Carolina has to claim him and release him before we are allowed to have a shot.

If by any chance the Texans are vacillating on who to keep, trade for Mills. I'd rather have Mills and we want Keenum to stick.

McDuffie's short arms would make him an outlier for the metric that appears to be part of what Beane and McD look for in a corner. Doubt he was their choice. @GunnerBill has talked about this numerous times.

I surmise you are comfortable paying Taylor an exceptional amount of coin for a RB. How do you propose fitting him under the cap? MLB, OT, QB2, (WR2, imo, but nothing will be done there), are still positions that appear to need upgrading with significantly more urgency. RB actually seems to be one of the positions with pretty good depth. I understand the argument about Taylor as elite. In today's game, elite RB rarely moves the needle. Would Taylor? Perhaps, but it's an academic dispute, regardless. It would be shocking if Beane were at all interested in such a move, especially considering cost in draft capital and percentage of the cap required to make it happen. I also think Cook can carry more of the burden than you suppose, though the idea that he is more suited to be a change of pace back is a popular one.

Do they still have that pick?

Lots of folks get exasperated when Dorsey seems to continually dial up the long ball. Now it's quite possible that Allen's elbow contributed to that proclivity. This season should clarify if that was a significant factor, or if always giving a priority to the deep shot is indeed a "feature" and not a "bug." For certain, if you start with the premise that you have to reject the deep shot before "settling" for something else, the quick hitter will never effectively be incorporated into your offense. I suspect that Kincaid will emerge as a consistent threat from the slot which should of itself diversify the approach.

Kincaid drew two defensive penalties. I am pretty sure they are keeping some of what Kincaid will do under wraps.

I dunno, maybe you're talking into your phone. First sentence needs a missing number. I infer turned for turnver. There, not thier, receiver, not reciever. Sloppy grammar and spelling does not obviate a point, but it is distracting and bad form. Naturally, RZ issues are a different matter. One can only hope that a strengthened IOL, some power RBs, and 12 personnel will propel Dorsey to be more creative in the tight spaces and yield better results. The flow of an offense is more than yards gained. I maintain that you put a defense back on its heels when you are both potent and less predictable. That may, indeed, actually affect RZ efficiency. You are free to think otherwise.

G Men outgained the Jests 209 to 80 at the half.

No one is asking Allen to ignore his super powers or to stop the daring that can result in extraordinary plays. None of that contradicts the fact that the Bills are a much more lethal offense when they take advantage of the easy, available yards. If you are always going for the long ball, you become much more predictable, whilst relying on lower percentage plays. Surely, this is obvious.

Pretty sure he's hoping for more riff raff.

Looking for the "sure as hell hope so" emoji.

Van Demark is really a LT. I like Anderson. Try a young guy with upside. He's shown versatility; looked good at C.

Getting ready for the regular season.

Best case scenario, he's likely out several weeks. Couple posts upthread says Edwards was warming up at LG.

That's an informative article you link to. Most folks won't read it. And the experts caught up in hypocrisy or error are never really held accountable. When the message is congenial to the platform that acts as a megaphone, agreement with the preferred narrative is more powerful than contrary facts. Brown is still a big question mark. I've been skeptical, but am heartened by signs that he is playing reasonably well.

@ngbills

The question is whether that is an accurate and perduring condition for this year. Can Dawkins raise his game to at least adequate? Is Brown better than some of his detractors claim, or at least, capable of not becoming a consistent liability? Maybe Van Denmark steps in and performs well at LT. I don't think one preseason game answers those questions. Concern is warranted, obviously, but it would be presumptuous to say we are doomed to play with "two weak tackles."

He can't be serious about the performance at MLB. Wonder if one of the crack journalists asked why Dodson was playing fourth quarter minutes if he was handling the defense well. At least he was honest about Dawkins, but you really couldn't even implausibly lie about that.

You might be right. It's an interesting thought.

Clipped the quote for brevity. I generally like your posts and the reasoning here is plausible. Personally, I would not keep Quessenberry. I'm not convinced he's a lock. I would add Alec Anderson to the oline names with a shot to make the team. Jordan Mims definitely in play at RB. I'd like to see Ankou and Kingsley get consideration at DT. I hope Howard gets some meaningful snaps in the third preseason game at LB.

Van Denmark has looked pretty good at LT. IOL is suddenly pretty deep. McGovern, Torrence, and 2 of Anderson, Bates, Edwards, along with Morse. It's the poor play of Dawkins added to uncertainty with Brown that elevates concern to urgency at OT.
