So, are we critiquing this, like your sixth grade teacher's public speaking module? 🤔

I'm only 4min in and he sounds fine to me!

 

Makes a lot of references to Terrell Bernard, so doesnt sound like he's going anywhere anytime soon.

All I learned is they have a tug of war competition sometimes, I am not complaining but anyone who thought there would be some great Revelation or he was going to sound like Vince Lombard 2.0 will be disappointed.

Look for WGR AM 550 (the voice of the Bills fan) to do an in depth exposé on the hazards these tug of war and other team building exercises can do.

Anything on whether they're having Bernard add some weight?

A 215lb MLB just boggles my mind. Guys in 3-4 bases are usually at least 230-235.

For what it's worth, Bernard is listed at 225, and weighed in at 224 at his combine. So not sure where 215 is coming from.

 

And that said, looking at Leonhard's most recent roster in Denver, his ILBs were 226, 226, 231, 235, 241.

 

Elarms-Orr weighed in at 234 if that helps. 🤷‍♂️

 

I'm not going to worry about 5-10 pounds when what we really need is better IDL play to keep them clean.

Not sure, but I think you just did. I wouldn't have thought about it until I read this.

I have absolutely seen him listed at 215 and 218.

 

IIRC a couple of years ago there was a short snippet that he was dropping weight to get faster.

McDermott's Bills:

Smaller, lighter, faster, smarter...and  harder to spot on the field. 😁

Here is the arrogance of Beane and company coming through, and I feel mostly Beane. They are hell bent on forcing this guy out there, and whats going to happen is he is going to get trucked in the Run game AGAIN, and be a liability, AGAIN.  

 

But hey, let them run his butt out there, maybe him getting blown off the field will wake them up.  

signing a contract that’s difficult to get out of one year in isn’t super arrogant

First off, 215.  Come on dude.  Try to be somewhat an anti-buffalo bills poster that doesn't stretch the truth THAT MUCH.

 

Let's wait to we see what they are going to do.

[Big Blitz]

Said “right” no less then 21 times.  
 

Of all the things to hang on to from McD - that is one thing that has to freaking stop.   
 

Right?

Anti-Buffalo Bills?! I've been a Bills fan for 35 years starting when I was 10. 
 

OverTheCap also has him listed at 218. But sure, I'll just believe the sites that use his combine weight from 6 years ago because that never fluctuates... 🙄. As I said, he dropped weight. He needs to put it back on +.

Other than observing that he's no worse a speaker than McDermott (and possibly better with practice), that was my main takeaway.

 

It's got me interested to see how much he claps during games.

Ok I had to - here is a what google says is a motive or reason behind saying “right” as a follow up to your statement, opinion, or evaluation:

 

 

Seeking Agreement or Reassurance: Speakers often use it as a substitute for "don't you agree?" to check if the listener is on the same page and to build social connection.

 

Softening the Statement: It can act as a buffer, making a declarative judgment or opinion sound less abrupt or demanding.

 

Maintaining Conversational Control: Similar to "um" or "like," it serves as a vocal pause that gives the brain a second to catch up without allowing the other person to interrupt.

 

Asserting Authority: Conversely, it is sometimes used to emphasize a point so the listener feels the information is obviously correct, effectively shutting down debate. 
 

 

 

McD to me was “asserting authority.”  How can anyone disagree with this?   
 

I just think everyone else started to talk like him.  
 

And Brady, if anything it’s “softening the statement.”

Josh when asked what he's learned about being a leader:

 

"I think just understanding my role, understanding what I’m asked to do sometimes, it’s not just going out there and being a quarterback, it’s learning to talk to different guys in the locker room  and understanding who they are in order to be a better teammate for them so when it comes push to shove that when I say something or if I do say something, that they respect what I’m saying but that starts first coming out here and by being here one, and then going out there and working extremely hard and for everybody that’s new to see that and be like“oh my god he works hard, he loves what he does” and I truly come in here with a smile on my face every single day and I feel like that’s infectious and that’s the joy that I try to bring the guys and if there’s two things that they can say about me it’s that I work hard and I have a lot of fun at my job so… and that’s what I’ve learned."

 

Lamar should be taking notes.

I don't disagree with you but in the case of both men, saying "right?" is too much of a crutch.

 

A skilled speaker can accomplish the same thing with how he speaks and uses nonverbal cues.

Right?

Leonhard does it too. If it was a drinking game you’d be dead by the end of the presser.

Thanks!  Now all I need is an adenoidal voice, and WGR can hire me at minimum wage to replace some high cost veteran announcer. 😁
