Good for those 3 guys. Get to be on a 53 and make more money than being on the PS. I think the Bills didn't care about Zayne Anderson but for sure wanted Austin and Broeker on the PS here.

She just happy that big paycheck still rolling in. To him he was a high pick struggling to stay relevant in his 5th year. It would have also been his big contract test if he hit. I’d be salty too if I was in year 5 hanging on to my dream not making the money I thought I would

Eh backup RT and who can play the Left but I think RVD would be better on the left. He’s basically the shell replacement if they bring him in.

QB's, LB, and OT have to all be on deck and talked to. I like RVD at LT but RT he needs work and no way Anderson is going to be our primary backup RT. My guess is either Bates is going to become all utilty for 4 out of the 5 positions or they are in the market for another Tackle.

Could have been they wanted to see Anderson against better comp out at Tackle to see if he could handle it. He failed imo

Our boy Edmunds still can’t tackle in space I see

Yea its not longer the prominent reading material. Very few people go to SI anymore for sports information. Its lost a lot of its great writers. 50 years ago sure, 30 years ago spot on but in 2023 Sports Illustrated is going downhill and will probably be out of business in another 10 years. It had a good run.

I think 9-8 is the absolute floor but it possible. I think we are headed for an 11-6 or 10-7 type season myself but SI shouldn't be taken seriously in anything and this to me is a writer who is working for a fledgling company trying to draw clicks by having the Patriots win the division. Nothing more nothing less.

Very solid at LT, needs work at RT but has good traits to be coached up. Expect him to make the 53 and very well could end up our swing tackle if a trade isn't made.

I honestly as a gambler would take the Jets. Home opener, 9/11 atmosphere. A defense that the Bills mightily struggled with last year just sets up for a let down. Hope I’m wrong but I’d predict like a 23-16 type Jets win

Williams will be a great player and he needs to start and take his lumps this year. I had him as the # 2 MLB in the draft last year and he hasn’t proven me wrong yet. He has shown some high level skills just didn’t think we’d have to throw him to the wolves this early

Its a guy to play the 3rd preseason game. I'm pretty sure its mostly to protect the top 3 guys but they may also not want to expose Jordan Mims who I fully expect to get a practice squad invite. I'd expect this guy and Evans to get all of the carries next week.

I disagree with the first sentence a touch. The first two passes Allen dropped back he got hot feet and bailed out of a fairly decent pocket. I was disappointed in that

I said earlier, and it doesn't really mean much but after watching him for two weeks, he might be our best pass blocking tackle on the roster and 2nd overall behind Dawkins.

No it hasn't, Sternberger can't block and the Bills will keep 3 TE's only because Kincaid wont be used as a blocker indicating that the 3rd TE has to be able to block. He can't. In addition, Shorter has looked today but he is a very awkward pass catcher. Looks like he lacks confidence in his hands and body catches everything but even when he body catches he looks like he tries to absorb it in his body everytime.

Dude I’m gonna legit say this. I think Van DeMark might be this teams 2nd best tackle right now. Q-Berry a veteran gets flat out abused on that strip sack.

Maybe people will start listening to my draft take that he is a bad schematic fit who is incredibly handsy, average in coverage, and doesn’t want to tackle. He’s an overrated football player. The Bills should move on while he has value

You may think that but I didn’t think he was great in college and he played man there predominantly. It’s clear McDermott and staff don’t trust him. It doesn’t matter what the depth looks like if the coaching staff can’t trust him on the field. He wouldn’t be a starter still in that scenario unless his game is severely elevated and I don’t see it happening.

Elam is going to get traded so they might as well do it now while there is still value and teams think they can develop him. Always thought he was going to bust and is a bad schematic fit on top but I still think in man he won’t be a great corner in the NFL

im talking about the lineup that was out there. People were saying it was our primary backups. It wasn’t I was highlighting who was out there

Vandemark looked way better at LT than RT. His pass set isn’t near as good but to make it he has to be more versatile so I see why they’re working him there. He def got a thumbs up from me I also don’t think you can glean much from the starting offense as they kept it incredibly basic. Kindcaid was actually working the traditional Y spot( I assume to get blocking on tape for him) and Knox was working the F spot in 12 packages. I would suspect that would be the opposite in the regular season.

When the Oline looked bad it wasn’t even the primary backups in. Bills starters got like 10 plays then guys like Q-Berry and Shell, Torrence/Bates didn’t play much at all. The guys getting shellacked were Alec Anderson, Ike Boettger(who had fallen off a cliff) , Gouriage etc.

He hasn’t been good despite the catch. He was responsible for the illegal formation and the play where Mims got a 2yard loss letting the guy cross his face blocking.

Vandemark now at RT and that set didn’t look near as good

Maybe we can get a guy like Case Keenum for a 7th rounder
