Knock-knock-knock- a sound players do not want to hear the next 48 hours. I can’t imagine the anxiety and fear many players are feeling right now. Imagine being Shorter or Isabella, Cam Lewis, and every other bubble player. Beware of 'TheTurk.'Across NFL lockerrooms, cafeterias and weight rooms today, 'The Turk' is lurking. The Turk isthe nickname given to the staff member -- usually someone from the personneldepartment -- who tells players they are to go visit with the head coach andgeneral manager. The Turk has amessage that, in so many words, goes like this: "Coach wants to see you.Bring your playbook."That can onlymean one thing: You are being cut. "Down in thecafeteria and I see the Turks lurking," the Ravens official site tweetedFriday morning. "Kenny Sanders from the scouting dept. sends players tosee HarbsOzzie. Not a fun job."An anonymous NFL personnel executive summed up how difficult the jobof the Turk is: "One of mysaddest experiences was when we had two young backs in camp who had reallyworked hard. Each one knew only one was going to make it. They sat next to eachother in the locker room. So, I have to go down and get the one we are cutting.I walk in and both are looking at me. Who's going to the gallows and who'sgoing to the castle? I tell him. The other kid works hard to control himself.The kid that walks with me is devastated. That is a tough one when they areside-by-side like that."It's the Turkthat essentially taps the player on the shoulder, but with the Ravens, Harbaugh is the one that meets with them. And it's one of the more difficult aspects ofthe job. "Sittingdown with those guys face-to-face is very challenging, because you develop a relationshipwith them, and you really care about them and they care about the program andeverything," Harbaugh said after practice last week. "Everybody dealswith it differently. Some guys are mad, some guys are sad. Its all different;every single guy faces it in a different way. They are all good guys, and thatprobably makes it that much tougher." https://www.nbcsportswashington.com/baltimore-ravens/beware-of-the-turk/340383/

Diggs-Gabe-Sherfield-Hardy- Shorter Shakir Isabella Pateman Shavers Shorter KeeSeen maybe we keep 6 WR. So only 2 make it. Bills are going to cut 5 WR that would have rostered on pre Josh Bills teams. There were some dark seasons at WR. So this is a good problem

A Beautiful Mind is bull#### too

Johny Football debut in Buffalo. early in game, threw a long TD to Josh Gordon. I thought that was such a rare and interesting thing to see live

Big Nickel.

I forgot about Neal. He backs up Taron too. That will be a tough choice. Beane has a surplus of S, OL, DL and maybe TE and WR. I surmise Beane makes at least two trades before opening day.

dding trade value. There is a shortage of adequate OL. Bills could conceivably trade 3 OL for draft picks. Same with Settle. Bills arent keepimg 5 DL

CB and S White Elam Bedford Taron Jackson Lewis Poyer Hyde Rapp Hamlin ^two of the easier position groups to predict- there is 10 roster spots=43 remaining spots Bass Sam Reid =40 remaining roster spots Josh Allen or Barkley =38 remaining spots Damian Cook Latavious Gilliam =34 remaining spots TE Knox Dalton Morris = 31 spots remaining for OL, DL, WR, LB- these groups there will be some tough decisions

Lewis is making the team as a S or CB. His versatility is what makes him a roster lock. He’s had a great camp, he has experience at both CB and S, and he is a core special teamer

testing

I always sing LETS GO BUFFALO! HEY-HEY-HEY-HEY if Isley Brothers version is played while im out and about

Who is top of the depth chart as lead punt returner now? That has to say something

Shakir also was a solid and reliable punt returner, and he might end up being our punt returner this year. To field punts is one of the most difficult tasks in NFL. So for Shakir to be reliable last year, and coaches have faith with Shakir. Last I saw, Shakir was top of PR

how Billy Joe Hobert like Tiny Dantzler Blue Jean baby

I have Milano home and away jerseys. I dig Milano- one of favorite Bills

Tears of happiness. Beane said when Buffalo wins the Superbowl finally, most of Buffalo will be crying. I concur. I imagine I will be a blubbering, euphoric, mess

I got my tickets for Henry Rollins. I got the meet and greet package- I get to hang with Henry for an hour

I miss the post office. Anyone that says privatization is good, only needs to look at the post office and see how it ruins good institutions. Stamps go up in price constantly now. It takes forever to receive local mail. I ordered a rare vinyl record. I moved recently, all my mail is supposed to be forwarded. my mail lady delivered to the old address. I called many times, and spoke with someone in charge. “ I spoke with the carrier. She knew it was supposed to forwarded. She is going to ask new resident if they could return the LP. That’s first step” a month went buy nothing. I called- “this case has been resolved” ”it was delivered to the wrong address!” ”it made to a residence” ”it doesn’t matter if it’s the correct recipient? As long as it made it to any resident?” ”it made it to a resident” it’s sad what’s become of the post office
