But did he ever play with Carolina?

Beane made it extremely clear that the scouting department contingent present in the draft war room had been “sweating it out” in the 5th round waiting to make the Jordan Hancock pick: "[h]e was one of those ones, we were sweating it, sweating it, sweating it. The pick is in before, we can now pick him," said Beane during an appearance on One Bills Live. "I turn around. Behind me in the draft room is all of our area/national scouts, so I turned around and I saw as much enthusiasm from that as any pick there was because there's a lot of guys in there that are fired up. Again, I can make some cases for some other players, but if you ask my college scouts, that's the guy they would say." Since one of the things the scouting staff hits on pretty well is the late round picks, I hope it happens again and Hancock is everything they thought he’ll be.

Know you’re just busting chops but Starks and Oakley, heart and soul of those teams (loved Mase too). As for a Knick to “dislike”, give that crown to Charles Smith!! 😫

We got Mad Max for his game changing speed, something we haven’t had in this secondary for far too long, hope he’s healed up and we can get to see what he can do against Worthy, Flowers, and what’s left in Miami. We’ve been missing that for a while, hope it’s everything we dreamed it’d be on draft day (well, next year for sure, gotta give the kid a chance!).

In regard to the Hoecht signing, time to remember all we heard about how much the Bills were enamored with him and targeted him as a FA signing, let’s hope he can at least “move the needle a bit”: A "chess piece" for the defense: During his time with the Rams, Hoecht played several positions, including mugging the A-gaps and serving as a versatile piece for the defense. The Bills envisioned a specific role for him, knowing his adaptability. Long-standing interest: The Bills' front office and coaching staff were well-acquainted with Hoecht's capabilities, having tracked him for several seasons. Prior experience: Hoecht had previously practiced against some members of the Bills' defensive line, including Joey Bosa, during joint practices with the Rams, giving him familiarity with the personnel. Suspension and roster management: Before signing Hoecht, the Bills were aware he would serve a six-game suspension for a PED violation. Despite this, they still pursued him. Versatility in Buffalo: In Buffalo, Hoecht has continued to be a versatile defensive lineman, moving between different spots. This flexibility has been a key reason for the team's long-term interest in him. Now it’s time to see if he’s a JAG, a JAG plus or a nice signing.

Can’t ever count out a HOF coaching staff and players who know how to execute (man, I really hate them a lot!).

As a kid, I loved Jerry Butler, remember when he lit up the Jets for 255 yards think they called those Hail Mary’s Big Ben Plays back then made a 12 year old Jersey Bills’ fan very happy.

I’m thinking Randy Moss. Maybe Megatron. Or how about both?

Shoulda bet on them last week to win the AFCE. Week late but you’ll still come up on top—makes me sick. I want to 🤮.

Thought we had a cake walk to the one seed.

Watching Michael Penix play with a legitimate wide receiver one and then watching Josh Alan play with the wide receivers he has is pathetic. Imagine what Josh cloud do with a DK Metcalf or any WR1 is pathetic. Beane has left hero ball to Josh as his answer for falling to get one of the most talented QBs in decades a real weapon. Thank you. It’s sad and it’s been long, sad, fifty years.

And 9/10 other safeties too. Don’t get scapegoat Bishop that’s a big ask.

Glad to see the coaches cleaned up the penalties for this game.

Maybe Cook will get some carries—was the engine for the first few wins.

We traded up ahead of SF to get Sanders and they immediately took Collins two picks later.

I won’t complain about another win but it’s very scary to watch us squeak by again against an inferior opponent. Trying to be an optimist for once, I’ll hope that the defense will tighten up with Ed O and Milano back soon plus Hoecht and Ogunjobi a little later and hopefully eventually getting Hairston’s speed on the field to help us with players like Zay Flowers week one and Tyreek Hill last week.

Someone asked about Kincaid earlier well there he is (thanks to Josh).

We hit the over on penalties yet?

Cole Bishop comes through!!!

Turning into an ugly, ugly game. Gotta settle down on offense.

DVR’ed the game and just finished watching it—this was like a boxing match between two heavyweights and we KO’ed them in the final round. Wow!! Haven’t been this excited since “the comeback”. Winning a game that you should have lost is a great start to the season and it being against the Ravens is icing on the cake. Can’t wait until we get healthy!!!

Here’s a good tattoo for Cook:

A WR, now we can all sleep tonight!! Been fun. UDFA posts tomorrow.

Yep, 5th round pick 12 to Dallas.

A local station in Frisco, Texas got the victim’s affidavit in the Bond case: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/crime/affidavit-reveals-new-details-sexual-assault-case-against-former-texas-longhorn-isaiah-bond-nfl-draft-prospect-2025/287-40fc2816-c855-4fcb-aef4-a3e9d9d33121
