"I watch Maxwell Harrison on Keon Coleman, in phase on Coleman’s route. Now, they were both running 1/2 speed so a lot should not be deduced from what you’re seeing."

 

Astro, are you suuuuuure that they were both running 1/2 speed?

Like the report on Michael Hoecht- encouraging.  

Can he and Ogunjobi practice with the team during their suspension once the season starts?  Can they play in preseason?

The unofficial start of football is here. Isn’t a season without an Astro report.

Dan Carpenter?

Always a pleasure to read Astro's viewpoint on it all

I had no idea we picked up David White Jr… he was one of my favorite sleepers in his draft class. I thought he had a ton of potential

He got it right later in the writeup. To get these pieces posted same-day is impressive and appreciated, even if it involves a "Burce Smith" mention.

Re: college CB with speed. 
 

Audavion Collins from PSU is raw and a bit undersized.  Probably CB3 this year. 
 

But runs a 4.28 40. 

[Fan boy '92]

Dope, felt like I was there. On a rope to Shakir 25 yards, Hoecht gonna be a problem, Bosa... well, can't have it all

Great line, and i hope its sincere what were seeing.  He's surprised me a bit with his maturity so far.  RBs have got the raw end for a while now.  Seems like their productive life expectancy is 4-6 years.  Sucks to be locked into rookie pay scale for 4/5 years (4 for 1st rd'ers; but again we're talking RBs) and then unable to get a "real" contract.

 

I hope when the new CBA is worked out they find a way to comp RB's better!  If they cant/wont, then they should make it 3 years (+1 yr team option for 1st round: RB's only) for RB's.  The Bills aren't doing Cook dirty; the CBA put them there.  We cant handcuff ourselves to do the right thing, at a competitive disadvantage. 

 

Could they voluntarily have re-wrote the deal this offseason to add incentives or something?  I was really turned off by his verbal crap this summer, but his actions seem to be different.  I am not in the camp of giving him what I believe his market in FA will be, but i also get the crap situation he's in.  I'd totally meet him in the middle on making this year more profitable for him.  Give him some awesome kickers for performance
