    Great summary.

     

    1. Secondary: easiest roster decision, IMO, very impressive the quality starters and depth...our backups would start on many teams.  Tre, Dane, Elam, Taron, Neal, Benford, Lewis, Hyde, Poyer, Johnson, and Hamlin should be the group making the 53.  To me, this is likely the group we go "heavy" (roster spots) compared to prior years.  Lewis and Benford would be snatched up immediately if they are cut, which I don't think they will be.  I think Cam offers some nice ST versatility as well.

     

    2. RB room: I'm really looking forward to seeing how Dorsey deploys our "skill" guys, especially at RB.  Loads of versatility snd they complement each other well.  Blackshear showed some nice ability, certainly a good P/S type.

     

    Overall, I'm very impressed with the young/rookie guys.  With a loaded roster, it's great to see so many young players make an impact and I can easily see 6-7 rookies making the final 53.  And a few to the P/S.

     

     

    Apparently Frelund said 3 frontoffice people texted her to inquire about the chances of Benford making the roster.

     

    She then failed to mention that all three then proceeded to ask her out on a date right after.

     

    NFL version of "sliding into the DMs"

  2. @GunnerBill I don't totally absolve Keenum on the first INT. 

     

    This is an example of poor ball placement that needlessly ended up as an INT. 

    Crowder was wide open over the middle on a short throw, Keenum threw high and the ball bounced off Crowder's hands for the INT.

     

    Should he have caught it? Sure.

     

    Was it a good throw? No...the ball should have been in his bread basket right out in front of him which would have resulted in a catch or him dropping the ball harmlessly to the ground.

     

    This is an example where good ball placement results in a different outcome on the play and the INT never needed to happen.

    Elam played well today.  But, speed saved him a few times.

     

    He was on the receivers hip a few times, but was out of position also.  Out of position being not playing the receiver or ball correctly.  He made up for those mistakes with speed and was able to minimize his exposure.

     

    We will see how much he’s pushed by the opposing QB once it’s real games. I fear he could get exposed right now by a really good QB/WR.  Mostly if he’s the number 1 guy.  The dude has mucho talent for sure, just needs to be aware of the situation.

     

    He needs to get more experience and it's all a part of the learning process.

    Yes, the Bills look to be absolutely loaded this year, but the entire AFC looks really strong…I don’t think the 1990s Bills ever had to compete in an AFC with anywhere near this many good teams.  The good news is the AFCE is probably the least strong of the four divisions, but this season going to be a gauntlet…

     

    Uhh...AFC South??

    I don't have notes or film, but I think there was another play earlier when he was really slow on a break to the sideline and he was just chasing the play.   

     

    Also, the deep ball up the right sideline, he ran great with the receiver, but he didn't find or make a play on the ball.  

     

    Someone noted that he didn't look great in the run game, and I noticed that also.  Benford was attacking ball carriers.  

     

    Don't overstate what I said.  I just thought he played more like a rookie and Benford didn't.  

     

    I thought Elam in his first game played very well, especially on the first pass breakup against the Colts first team offense.

     

    Bills coaches are just DB Whisperers.

    Looked so effortless that I thought he probably didn't get ahold of it but it was a perfect spiral and it just kept going and going like a long fly ball in baseball that keeps carrying and becomes a HR. The returner had no idea what to do because it just kept carrying. A lot of punters (Haack) would try to put more into it being pinned so far deep in their own zone and a lot of those times those end up being shanks. Today's punt from the Punt God was just very smooth and under control. Very impressive 

     

    They need to do a sports science study on him...wonder if it's exceptional leg speed that gives him his amazing leg

    It looked effortless too! Just amazing! I’ve never wanted to watch a game just to see a punter, but I did today 😂

     

    Where were you during the drought years where Brian Moorman was our MVP every year??

  8. I don't understand how people who are paid to provide color commentary and "know" stuff normal fans don't know can wonder on air about why the horsecollar sack wasn't called.

     

    It's because the only place a horsecollar tackle is legal is on a QB in the pocket Steve. Get with it.

    Keenum needs to pull it together.  Not only for his backup QB spot but he wasted a lot of chances for his offensive teammates.

    He's a vet and needs to play much better against the Broncos next week.

     

    Both his INTs we're particularly egregious, especially the second one...

     

    How do you throw a back shoulder ball inside and while the DB is staring right at you??

    Had it not been a touchback, I'd agree. A great punt, no doubt. But for it to be the best punt I have ever seen, it would have to been kicked out of bounds or had more hang time and been downed before the goal line. Don't get me wrong, very impressive. But 10 yards shorter and out of bounds is a better outcome.

     

    The best I ever saw was I believe Randall Cunningham punting 90+ yards and it being returned 9 yards from the 7.

    Namely because while Cunningham was a good college punter, he played QB in the NFL...pretty well actually.

    I don’t doubt that happened… But why the heck would a GM or high-level executive text Cynthia Frelund About who might make the bills roster

     

    She’s a pundit…  A bills beat writer would have way more knowledge and that’s not saying much with how in house the bills are

     

    She’s honestly a face and a voice… Her speculation on if he would make the roster would be purely opinion based

     

    Maybe as a soft open to then transition asking her out on a date?
