  1. Bryce Paup 6'5" 247 Aaron Schobel 6'4" 243 Again, it's really a matter of the player's frame and athleticism, what weight they play best at
  2. 🤦‍♂️ There's one Amateur Capologist who shouldn't quit the Day Job. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/08/06/inside-the-josh-allen-deal/ Signing this contract actually improves the Bills cap situation for 2022
  3. Browns, almost certainly. Comments in the 1. KC 2. Browns 3. Bills thread and others.
  4. I don't think anyone here disagrees with the above. But even so, there are 45 other guys on the Gameday roster who have to do their job, and do it reasonably well, or the wins won't happen. That's the point Logic was making, in response to a chappie who thinks Lamar Jackson should get a bigger contract than Allen because "he has more wins".
  5. Funny, you brought up the "wins are a QB stat" in response to a reply to this: I guess wins must not be a QB stat for Lamar then, either, since we're only talking about one "great season" and he's been supported by the #2 or #3 defense on points? That's how this works, right?
  6. The Logic, I think it may be Wasted here Just a hunch....
  7. So he was apparently woken up between 3 and 4 am by his agents, and still had a great day at practice.
  8. So let's benchmark against the best edge rushers, as judged by everyone with 9 or more QB sacks last season (OLBs in 3-4 plus DE in 4-3): TJ Watt (OLB), 6'4" 252 Trey Hendrickson (DE), 6'4" 270 Haason Reddick (OLB) 6'1" 235 Za'Darius Smith (OLB) 6'4" 272 Myles Garrett (DE) 6'4" 272 Leonard Floyd (OLB) 6'5", 240 Romeo Okwara (DE) 6'4", 263 Jason Pierre-Paul (OLB) 6'5, 275 Brian Burns (EDGE), 6'5", 250 Khalil Mack (OLB), 6'3" 269 Montez Sweat (EDGE) 6'6", 262 Emmanuel Ogbah (DE) 6'4", 275 Oliver Vernon (DE) 6'2", 262 Those are college weights, so any of those guys may have adopted a heavier or a lighter playing weight I think the take-home is, for success in rushing the passer, there's not one "right weight". There are guys like Hendrickson, Smith, and Pierre-Paul who are heavier. There are guys like Watt, Floyd, Burns, and Sweat who are lighter. It probably depends upon specifics of their individual frame and the weight at which they get the most power. At 6'5" and 260, Epenesa seems as though he'd slot right in It sounds as though your son's coaches want him to play heavier, and evidently so did Epenesa's college coaches, but the Bills differ.
  9. This is so nice to hear. Looking phenomenal is the new Normal! If he's more muscular, he may have a very "dense" body and look slender for his weight Didn't I hear Leslie Frazier say, after OTAs, that they thought 265 or so was the right weight for AJ? But I guess they'll settle for 255 as better than 250....
  10. So that clarifies why he was said to be dressed and roaming the sidelines. Hopefully not too serious, but he needs to "get right" now and not let it linger
  11. Ro Ro. At the limit of 91 players after activating Boettger, so when Dawkins and Hughes get activated, somebody's going home: We have 19 OLmen currently under contract. NINETEEN. We normally keep 9 plus another 1 or 2 on PS
  12. Nice write up on Isaiah McKenzie interview yesterday. (needs an editor though - phew!) https://www.wgrz.com/article/sports/nfl/bills/isaiah-mckenzie-in-top-spot-for-buffalo-bills-return-game/71-343419bc-fcb8-40aa-8e08-abb574195b56 It's not self proclaimed, I'm just proclaiming it myself?
  13. I think they may be rotating more guys through 1st team reps than we know, but if they don't get targets, we don't hear about it. Personally, I'd like to see Knox fall to 3rd string for a bit and have to work his way back up. Maybe it would light a fire in him.
  14. I don't think anyone has revealed exactly what their restrictions are, but it's clear from various comments that the credentialed reporters have some. Last Saturday was interesting because from Cover1 guys and others that were there, we got a lot more gouge. We would probably all buy it if the Bills offered this as a subscription service, with or without ads
  15. https://www.buffalobills.com/news/top-3-things-to-know-from-day-7-at-2021-bills-training-camp Haven't heard any mention of Ike Boettger yet, but per Maddy Glab he got right after it: Good to hear Tremaine Edmunds INT: I'm not sure "showcased his catching ability" is quite the right phrase. "Finally managed to haul one in after letting so many get by him" comes to my mind
