ROCKPILE REVIEW - The Test

Recommended Posts

I look forward to the Rockpile Review and Virgil’s Sunday/Monday threads.  You two do a heck of a job each week so thank you.  For me it was the heart attack game.  How many times do we have to score for it count under 30 seconds in the game.  It’s was maddening.  I can’t wait for Sunday.  As an aside I’m getting on with the MTC guys now after O'Brien's interview, so of you are listening and a guy from FL is talking about the Bills, it’s me.

Movin the Chains on NFL Radio.  I’m on hold and the handler said after the Bill O’Brien’s interview, they said I should be able to get on air.  I call into these guys once a week.  Maybe I’ll just read part of you’re Review as I can’t do it any better than you. 👍😇👌

That's kind of you.  

 

I'll see I can get it.

The answer the Bills had on Sunday is NOT the answer you’re supposed to have when a premier team tests you.  You’re not supposed to let the bully beat you up before you win.  But first, you have to win, somehow.  And that’s what the Bills did. 

As usual @Shaw66, an exemplary take on a great football game.

 

The above makes me point out that many of our players have faced major adversity and came back...so it might be what McD and Beane look for and tap into.  

Draftees:

Josh Allen as a lightly recruited QB from a small HS, then JUCO, then the football factory that is Wyoming.

Taron Johnson from...Weber State.

Milano as a tweener from a crappy BC team.

Singletary, too small and too slow, from FAU.

Dawkins - not an OT Body type - and from Temple, not a big school.

Davis the rookie WR this year from UCF

 

And the FA Vets they brought in:

Darryl Williams at RT after a couple injury/recovery years

Ditto for Tyler Kroft - we heard his team mates talk about how they respect him for coming back

Feliciano, backup at OAK, just needed a shot to start

Addison, a FA with a tough path to be a pass rush specialist

Poyer, Cut by Eagles and not resigned in CLE

 

These are a group of guys who have heard no and your not good enough before.  They play like they have something to prove.  Mix in some premier talent and you have a TEAM.  That can pass the Test.  Thanks Shaw 66
