Loving everything I'm hearing/reading on Coleman the last couple days. Sounds to me like he's getting a real "Alpha dawg" mentality. Hope it carries over to games.

Fair, but a big reason we never get past KC is our injury list vs theirs. 

 

In 2023 I think that was a big reason. However, I think 2023 the Bills got ***** by the field not being heated and the fact that the Bills didn't get a chance to rest starters week 18. KC had their division and seeding clinched and they got the pesudo bye week in week 18 and came into the playoffs very healthy. They also had a heated field so despite the game against Miami being super cold their field was much better and they got less injuries. The Bills had the massive snow storm and a bad icy field against the Steelers and had a bunch of injuries that game. The team also had to play week 18 so more wear and tear going into the playoffs. Then of course the Bills had 2 days less rest going into that game and it was all sorts of *****. 

 

2024 the only injury was Benford which was a very fluky thing while KC had injuries. I think the difference for that game was that the Bills were away and got a bunch of borderline calls and a few outright bad calls go against them.

Any updates on Landon Jackson? I've heard next to nothing about his performance in camp thus far.

I think that last one with the Kincaid commentary is a little irresponsible.  There are a lot of ways for a knee to be injured.  I don't see any indication that this Alex Brasky character knows anything beyond 1.) Kincaid isn't practicing due to a knee injury, and 2.) He's wearing a wrap on the left knee.  Yeah, this could be related to his injury last year, but it's also very likely that it's unrelated.

 

Exactly, its a click bait headline and McD made it sound like it was just a common got a little banged up on a rep yesterday when he hit the ground.  Nothing about it sounded like anything other than a common cautious move from general knicks guys get in camp.  To paint it as if its directly tied to last year without knowing it is was just irresponsible reporting for the sake of attention.  Could it be - sure - but nothing reported on it thus far suggests it is.

Also, Bass...pelvis soreness...that's a new one for me. 

 

 

Probably why he missed 50% of his FG tries yesterday

Then this is on the training staff, again. WTH is with this org they can't find a damn good training staff?

 

 

I think its mostly all tick tack stuff and early camp precautionary moves more than anything.  I don't think there are too much to be concerned about in terms of the injuries reported and would bet most would play if there was a game this week.  Especially going into the first day with pads on.

Not looking for an argument but Ty Johnson can beat anyone to the edge too.  We literally watched him do it during the season last year.   

That’s true. He was out of sight out of mind today on run plays

Personally, I don’t think that’s going to happen.  

 

Probably not this year; he needs to put some more mass on that big frame and master the offense.

But I'm getting the sense that McDermott is finally getting a bit tired of Anderson's dumbassery.

He actually threw him out of practice the other day.

I hold out a lot of hope for Deon Walker evolving into that BIG 1DT next to Oliver so that Ed can be that penetrating DT he was in college.

 

It may take some time for Deon to develop a NFL body however I thought he was a real steal in the 4th round.

The concern about Walker as a run stopping 1 tech is that his size is mostly north of his waistline.  He's not a typical big Dlineman with a thick lower body to give him a solid anchor.  He moved around on the Dline at Kentucky playing most of his reps as a 3 tech.  His strength is unusual agility for a big guy, not his ability to get low and get physical.

First day of camp for the line. vs a sturdy interior is a good test for him.  All three interior starters anchor well.  Not getting rooted out is an improvement vs previous year’s DT depth.  Il reserve judgement until the pre season is completed.

I think we were without both Rapp and Benford last year.  
 

KC typically comes into that game missing a backup DT or something.

Rice their best WR was out so they did have someone of significance hurt. 2023 you were correct

I hope Bass can get his "pelvis soreness" under control

i guess Josh wasn’t the only one to get married.

Glad to hear the continued success for Coleman.  He has a chance to emerge as the team’s number 1 by the end of the season.  An uptick in early down PA rate to league average will greatly impact Colemans production. Playing more run downs in the Hollins role will also make the offense more explosive.  Coleman and Shakir YAC ability make PA a more dynamic option this season vs last.

Dion Cain had a real strong preseason last year.  I think he could fight for the sixth WR spot on the roster.  Has some burst, decent size and good hands.  Hope he gets a fair shot.

[eball]

I'm not happy to read about all of the injuries but I'm not worried either.  There is NO reason to push guys right now (particularly starters)...if they have any sort of little "tweak" here or there the responsible thing to do is sit them out until they're good to go.  The only injuries I'm concerned about are the sort you know are serious right away (fractures, ACLs, high ankle sprains, etc.).  Hamstrings, muscle soreness, etc., are nothing to be distraught over.

Just got home from Camp today…

 

a couple overall observations-

 

all the wr’s struggled in 1 on 1 drills with the defense allowed to be physical today. Coleman faired the best but it was still tough out there.

 

 In 11 on 11, the d line and safeties absolutely stuffed the run. Also Cook is our only back that can beat people to the edge.

 

Also, in 11 on 11, Tre White faired really well and Hairston faired well too ( was better then he faired in 1:1

It's "fared," believe it or not. A synonym for "ate." When you say someone "fared well" you're saying they "ate well." Appropriate metaphor for a team where "everyone eats."

Meh.. I’m not really playing that game. 
 

Rice got hurt early in the season and they traded for Hopkins.  Drop off, sure, but they didn’t lose Rice and then have to replace him with bargain bin guys or depth players. 
 

Bills have had pop up injuries and gaping holes created by post trade-deadline injuries.

he was out all year though.  Benford went out during the game and rapp missed the second half of the ravens game then the chiefs game.  Big difference.

we were missing rapp two years in a row vs kc in the playoff game.
