CALM THE F DOWN WITH THROWING THE BALL TO JOSH & HIM GETTING HIT!  Thank you.:beer:  

Well, people SAID we need a WR2 since Davis ain't it. At his size/speed Josh is a matchup nightmare. They're just doing what the people want and looking for Gabe's replacement. Sheesh.🤣

I really hope Shane Ray goes and balls out, for no real reason other than I just wanna see him succeed after fading in and out. Bonus for us if he does.

 I hope he quietly plays well so we can stash him somehow if he’s needed in an emergency, keeping the 53 mainly filled with younger players.

if he plays well and we "stash" him, his agent will be out there looking for teams to sign him.

I know it is early yet, but LB is a pretty big concern for me.  I don’t know that there is any good option as a starting LB at the NFL level among Dodson, Bernard , Klein and Spector.

 

I am also somewhat disappointed that Elam hasn’t yet claimed the top CB spot opposite White.  The competition that he must beat out in Jackson and Benford were both late round draftees for a reason and it doesn’t look good that Elam isn’t clearly a better player than either of them.  Now, I’m not saying that Elam should get the job if he doesn’t win it, but it would be another early round draft miss if he doesn’t.

The last player I liked for no good reason that we had on the PS (Hodgins) signed elsewhere so purely based on my own bias I hope he makes the roster. 

 

That said, it would probably be ideal to have him the "break in case of emergency" box especially if any of the other DEs that are fighting for a spot ball out.

Shane Ray actually being able to pressure the QB would be a huge win for the bills this year

 

Maybe he is still trying to answer the question from fans "Are you Jimmy Ray?"

 

"No!"

I think on other teams, Elam might be further along in his learning curve. We have other viable options here which seems to have led to a more gradual approach with him. 

 

I'd love to see him get tons of playing time early in the season. Nothing like learning by doing.

Yeah you’re definitely taking the negative approach here.

 

Dodson definitely does nothing for me. I watched Jacoby Brissett juke him in the open field last year. But I’m not really worried about it because it’s a passing league and the Bills will likely use 3 safeties personnel this year to replace Edmunds in the passing game. They might even be better, more unpredictable because of it.

 

In the run game with improved DT depth I think it’ll help any MLB they throw out there. AJ Klein can get it done vs the run for a year if needed. 
 

IMO we have 3 starting quality CBs in Jackson, Elam, and Benford. I don’t care where they were drafted. That said Elam has more upside and should get the nod as long as they are pretty equal.

Taron Johnson almost became the 2nd Bills defensive back to have a penis spray painted on his lawn.

Is this a confession?

Hopefully it's just that he's still knocking the rust off..but Hyde getting torched in practice is becoming a trend.

Harty is LEGIT 

Been saying this since day 1 man.

He's going to be a better version of John Brown, who had a cpl great years with Josh
