I totally agree, that was huge. It was nice to see we had a defense capable of making that Goal Line stand. That game is the first one all year that I thought maybe we do have a Championship caliber defense this year. Keep it rolling!

Safeties need to be strong tacklers, something Tre has never been. You would never see him down in the box and realistically would only ever want him playing single high. McD likes his safeties role interchangeable.

According to Gemini: For a 6-game suspension, the player is typically allowed to return to the team facility and participate in practices after the team's third regular-season game (meaning, during the week leading up to their team's fourth game). Here's a simple breakdown of the standard rules for an NFL player serving a suspension (whether for substance violations or other infractions): Before Suspension - Training Camp & Preseason Can practice and play in preseason games. First Half of Suspension - Games 1, 2, & 3 Cannot practice or be at the team facility. Second Half of Suspension - Games 4, 5, & 6 Can practice and attend team meetings. After Suspension - Week 7 (or later) Eligible to be activated and play in games.

fyi for those that don't know: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/buffalo-bills/news/bills-activate-former-all-pro-last-resort-vs-falcons-jordan-poyer-damar-hamlin-nfl/0591ebd8e72d9fede6ac8c53

That's interesting you point out Dorian Williams as a factor in this game because McDermott was uncharacteristically praising him in his presser yesterday.

I think you over looked one, Brock Bowers. He very likely may be better than all of them. After a great college career he had an amazing rookie year "setting rookie season records for receptions in a season and the most receiving yards by a tight end, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in the process."

That's probably a designation that releases them from having to give him an injury settlement after waiving him injured/reverts to IR then released.

They must have changed the camera angle for the Tampa kicker because his were all clean through the middle.

Yea, I also heard "Baker Mayfield" and thought, what?... he's playing?... wasn't supposed to be.

I have to disagree; there was at least one that was close to the right upright and even the announcer made comment. All the Tampa kicker's kicks were much cleaner, it wasn't just the TV angle.

Where do you get the information that McD wanted DeJean? I’m curious as I have heard nothing of this anywhere.

Keeping SVPG on PUP is the easiest and best answer. Possible injuries and roster views will make it clearer after 4 weeks. Feeney or Jacob Bayer, who was said to be looking good earlier in camp, should be easy to get on the PS as an Anderson backup if needed. “If a player starts the NFL season on the Reserve/PUP list, they are eligible to return during the season after missing at least the first four games. Teams then have a five-week window to begin a 21-day practice period, during which the player can be activated to the 53-man roster.“

Not to mention that Quarterbacks are much better protected by the rules now, they took a beating back in that era; just ask Jim Kelly and his multiple surgeries about it.

Interesting stuff, cool story; I remember hearing Jim Richter had become a pilot. I’m guessing your airline was AA.

I’d like to know what your view of Henderson is, as there’s two opposing views above. What little I have heard is positive, but I don’t follow 0SU.
