scribo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Found it interesting (per Beane) that he has to have the roster UNDER 80 to be able to bring just one person in for a workout. Will certainly hamper readiness to replace injured and under-performing players. Same with this 48-hour claim period each week. Says it will be a five-day entry period to sign someone and get him in. Very time consuming. Injuries will be much more detrimental than ever. And depth on the roster more important than ever! They need to increase the roster limit. 53 won't be enough mid-season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Hearing more and more about the new restrictions in place, really highlights the importance of focusing on continuity, depth and player smarts. I think our Bills are built as well as anyone for this! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Beane on extending contracts in the midst of all this, given next year's cap projections: Will operate under the assumption next year's cap will be $175M. Had been planning on it being close to $210M. Will have to be responsible. Coach up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) Coach praising OBD staff on getting the building ready. Watching other leagues to learn how to make this work best. Says this really is a leadership challenge, but he's confident the players are up to it. Kim Jones on the call: "Can you tell your players, 'Don't be the Marlins?'"

Agree on roster expansion. This years good teams will be determined to a large part on chance but also on two other things: A full organizational ability to buy into the need to isolate and be selfless. I think each and everyone of us are already mentally and emotional fried with this year. I couldn’t imagine having to re- up my dedication at this moment for a possible 7 month slog where my health was as important to the organization as everyone else’s. A trainer Or equipment guy or custodian with Covid Is every bit as valuable as a player. Anyone can screw a team up this year. That is a wrinkle that can’t be understated. Also, a GM and front office that works hand in hand with their coaching staff is a HUGE advantage this year. The five day waiting period and weekly practice squad exemption/ evaluation in concert with the 48 hour poaching period is three dimensional chess. The one question I didn’t hear was in regards to the Tuesday cut off. Is there and difference for those playing Monday or Thursday night games. IMO they should at least kill the Thursday night games for the season but I don’t think they will due to TV contracts+revenue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scribo Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 A big pet peeve for radio show hosts are callers who start each call by asking the host how he/she is doing (despite always being told by the call screener not to do so). So it is hysterical to hear there reporters (who most do radio shows regularly) do it over an over today in this webcast interview. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 (edited) This is actually incredibly interesting. Thanks for the updates! Sounds like Beane, McDermott and Ownership are about as on top of this as an organization can be. Back up, or mask up ?

Right seeing this stuff from Beane and McDermott it seems like the player at least up to the vets so far are really bought in. But all it takes is one errant trainer or other staff member to throw a wrench in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fr. Jerk Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Did anyone ask what their favorite cereal is? McDermott seems like a Cheerio's kind of guy - healthy, straight forward, and always reliable. I see Beane in the same light but probably likes a little flare. I'm guessing he goes goes for honey nut. Either way, Brian Daboll SCREAMS Lucky Charms, ya dig?

Locomark Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I am surprised no one asked when we might see a first day of players in any form of pads. Has any one heard ? Since this is not your typical CAMP have they even released a press briefing schedule for the next few weeks? I am interested in when we will see some actual football content. It’s weird because without having the public practices we have no content to discuss other than what they are willing to let the media see. I hope they have a few basic blue white scrimmages that are also aired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its good to see adults in the room, we have a very good organization at OBD, and I believe we are all proud of their efforts to get this right.

Quote NFL rules state a team cannot bring a player into their facility for a workout unless they have an open roster spot AND that player has tested negative before coming in. This does not mean the team could not bring a player in town and do a workout in a school or other facility.

ESPN has been asking for changes and for this year the NFL could agree to move games to Saturday nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
