I really get annoyed when they do these interviews during regular season and playoff games for all of the 4 major sports while the game action is going on.

Hard Knocks 2018: The Cleveland Browns
BobbyC81 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haley in the 1st half of the episode had me thinking "Man, he's a no nonsense guy." By the end though, including that segment about the name Carl (What, is he 12?), I decided he's just an a$$&@! I remember watching that Browns/Giants game when Callaway broke the long one thinking why, if he's now considered first team, is he still in there late in the 3rd quarter? It was "punishment"? So, if he ended up getting hurt because he played the whole game, would they just say "Next man up!" and/or "Let's sign Dez"? -
I remember reading that GMs and coaches liked delaying the cuts til the end of preseason but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Sure they have longer to evaluate who's already on their roster but with the cuts on that Saturday, if they need players to fill slots, they have a week to identify players cut by other teams, get them signed and ready for the 1st game. It isn't likely to affect any team's starters but backups and special teams players. Maybe there just won't be much movement at that point, especially since most guys playing the 4th game aren't making the team anyways. It could mainly be the moves to fill practice squads.

How Many Preseason Games Should There Be?
BobbyC81 replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's a conundrum. With the CBA limiting practices and those with pads, the players aren't getting enough hitting in before these preseason games. Then you have the injury concerns so coaches aren't playing starters enough. The last couple years this has resulted, in my opinion, in a lot of sloppy play in the 1st couple weeks of the season. Starters rarely play in the 4th preseason game but I bet if they reduced to 3 preseason games, the coaches would treat the 3rd one the same. -
Doesn't fit the culture and do you really want our young QBs to be yelled at to "Throw Me the Ball!"?
-
They also seem to have done away with Chris Brown’s Fan Friday.

Maybe they could talk Matt Leinart into leaving his cushy studio job.

Do they deduct the cost of the helmet from McCarron's paycheck?

As long as Allen can stay healthy. He was last year but has a spotty history.

Josh Rosen vs Josh Allen: Game 1 Comparison
BobbyC81 replied to BuffaloButt's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I recently saw a photo of the top QBs of the draft sitting in chairs in a half circle for some show. They were in t-shirts and shorts. Rosen and Darnold both have skinny legs while Allen and L. Jackson looked solid. Rosen also has narrow shoulders while Allen was the thickest. In the photo, Darnold looks puny compared to the others. -
Joe B: 53 Man Roster Projection - Final
BobbyC81 replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No, last year was a cut to I believe 70 or 75 after the 3rd preseason game. -
I remember playing a pickup game a while back with a guy who was a high school starting QB. When he threw it deep, all of us tended to slow down or stop and try and jump for the ball. He kept telling us to keep running. I got another shot and kept running and he laid it in their perfectly. Tasker was right that Foster slowed down because he was looking back. He probably would've got to it if he kept running hard.

Yeah, even the stuff they show on Hard Knocks is amazing. I was just watching an episode from the 2014 Atlanta Falcons camp when Brian Cox was the DE coach. He was having a couple of young players running to get into shape. He was yelling at them to move and they were just standing there ignoring him and when they did run they were dogging it.

Astro-Notes: Bills’ Practice 8-7-18

Wait a minute! I thought Gerhard de Beer was brought in to "guard the beer"? -
Bills trade with Browns for Corey Coleman
BobbyC81 replied to 17islongenough's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yeah, I was going to say that poor passes by the QBs count as targets. I still wouldn't mind the Bills bringing in LaFell, especially since it would cost them nothing but a salary. -
Happy 93rd Birthday Coach Levy!
BobbyC81 replied to machine gun kelly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I bought a book thru Amazon about the longtime Bay Area broadcaster and I could have sworn I selected New. The book comes in and it's in perfect condition so no reason to think it wasn't new. Inside the cover was written "To Jose, the greatest Raiders fan!" -
Bills injury updates - Training Camp/Preseason

On probation after 18 posts? What a tool! -
Jason LaCanfora and Peter King reports from Bills camp
BobbyC81 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I find a lot of errors in online articles. Our local paper was getting pretty bad. It wasn’t spelling errors so much as missing and extra words. It’s like they used spellcheck but didn’t run a grammar check. Today’s rush to get news out really has done a job on quality. Seems to be little pride in quality. (We recently cancelled paper delivery for multiple reasons.) -
Chad Kelly in contention to be Broncos backup
BobbyC81 replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is very true and may have contributed to Chad NOT ending up with the Bills. Uncle Jim may have been around for advice but there may have been too much pressure playing for the same team. -
Jason LaCanfora and Peter King reports from Bills camp
BobbyC81 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And that's one of the reasons why he doesn't work for an NFL team and just writes about them. The Bills QB position right now is a competition. Counting today they've only had 5 practices. They need to see how these 3 guys perform in a couple preseason games before making a sound decision.
