It was me. Boldin and Sammy where in a very animated discussion on the sideline.

 

Murphy even said so on the radio broadcast. I am not sure though what that discussion was about ever came out.

 

But looking at them it seemed pretty heated at the time

I brought it up to, but was listening to the game live on WGR and didn't get the visual confirmatiion.

 

also heard mention of Taylor throwing Watkins open, but Watkins getting tangled up in defenders.

Within 24 hours he'll be clarifying that he was not referring to Sammy.

Zay too

 

In our room, there's no entitlement," second-round draft pick Zay Jones said. "I don't think anyone feels entitled, starting with Anquan. He's the most decorated and prestigious receiver in the room, and he comes to work just like all of us. His work habits are unbelievable and that's something that I look at and really feed off of."

And then factor in Shady's comments where he said that Sammy has been a superstar his whole life, and never really had a mentor to show him how to do things the right way...

 

There is definitely some smoke here.

Shady was relating to Sammy with that answer. Not the same context. Saying he knows how Sammy feels, getting traded for someone who's not nearly as good. (Shady actually jabbed at EJ Gaines there, lol)

 

Shady was the same way. Outstanding talent who found it hard to respect anyone else's advice.

That was a good article. It really gives you an idea of what the Bills plan is for team building -

 

 

'It's the exact configuration coach Sean McDermott believes is necessary for success. He wants players who place winning ahead of their own statistics.

 

So far, that has been reflected in all of the moves McDermott and General Manager Brandon Beane have made in their major roster upheaval.

 

"We’re building a team, we’re not accumulating talent," the coach said. "We’re building a team and that comes down to roles, it comes down to chemistry, it comes down to camaraderie, and it comes also down to unselfishness. That’s the qualities we are looking for in our football players."

 

 

 

 

This is definitely a different approach to what Whaley took. Him being a scout, he valued talent over everything else. He just wanted to get the best player available. McDermott and Beane want to build a true team. No player is above the team. It's a very Belichick like approach.

Yes that is typically what the Pats have done. Still need our QB though. Still hope TT does well this year regardless, I like the guy.

Well Sammy is gone, Boldin probably won't be here next season and nobody in the current WR core has earned the right to be diva or much of anything else right now. I don't see this as a good thing.

diva and unselfish don't go together well

I watched that interview and I didn't get that he was referring to Watkins at all. The interviewer asked if the WR group was a "workman" like group vs an "I'm a star" type group and Boldin just said there isn't a diva like mentality.
