This. McCarron and Allen make the 53. Peterman to the PS. Are folks really thinking that Peterman won’t clear waivers? Even if some team picks him up to be their 3rd QB...no big deal. I’ve never been a big fan of keeping 3 QB’s on the 53. If you lose your top 2 QB’s, your season is over anyway. Plenty of sucky QB’s out there that are looking for work. Need that roster spot for depth at other positions.

Yeah, I used to get laid a lot by a lot of different beautiful women. Then I got married...

Meddle is also very good. It would be tough to decide between the two for me. Deciding my top 5 favorite albums is an exercise in futility. I tried.

It won’t just burn your mouth, it will destroy your mouth. Hot Pocket!

Astro kept referring to him as “pet cat” in today’s write up. Why?

These people should be locked in a port-o-potty and set on fire. What the hell did I just watch ??

Last Chance U Season 3 in on Netflix. If you thought the last coach was an !@#$, you’re in for a real treat with this new guy. What a freaking lunatic! Fun show to watch though. I’m 2 episodes in.

Isn’t he like 47?

I just read Astro’s TC notes on Facebook. Pretty good stuff, as usual. Thanks again, OP.

This burrito at Mad Taco (forgot the name). It has smoked spicy pork, el pastor, and deep fried pork belly with rice, beans, cilantro and pico. I ask for it “wet” which isn’t on the menu, but that means it is topped with enchalada sauce, queso, and a verde sauce. Eat it with a fork and knife. Bangin!!! Wash is down with a pint of Hill Farmstead Edward IPA.

I was in Auburn for a family reunion.

I was there. And I agree with your assessment of WR development. Foster looks like he could be something special.

As I noted in a different TC thread, there were two consecutive 11 on 11 plays where Allen was visibly frustrated with Foster. The first one, Allen threw to his back shoulder about 5 yards out, and Foster ran a different route down the field. On the second on Allen again threw a shorter pass (curl or dig?) and Foster was again 10-15 yards down field. Daboll has words with Foster after those plays. Again, as you eluded to, he looks the part but will likely just need more seasoning.

I didn’t pick up on Ducasse’s struggles when I went last week, but you seem to have much more expertise in that area. I wonder if they’ll ever get Teller some reps with the 1’s at LG? I focused on him quite a bit, and he looked really good to me...especially in the run game where he was simply ferocious.

Forget Cousins. Dalvin Cook is going to lead the league in rushing yards this season. Vikings are SB contenders, IMHO. With that defense....

What the hell was that?!

Do you have a Fletch to English conversion app? ?

My 10 year old 40” Samsung in the master bedroom has a much better picture than my 55” Vizio that I have in the living room. Not even close. I’m going to upgrade my living room TV to a 60” Samsung 4K before football season arrives, for sure. Although, I will say that I have been very happy with my Vizio. If I didn’t have the comparison I might be compelled to get another one.

1998 called and said they wanted their “not” back.

You probably also watched the battle of Gettysburg. Must have been a B word in standard definition.

Sort of, but Wyatt has at least 10 pounds on me.

A few things, actually. I could hear people laughing and lots of back and forth banter as he made his way toward where my son was standing. Most of the guys just say a few words, sign something, and move on down the line. While he was signing a jersey for a guy right near us, there were SJF employees throwing t-shirts into the crowd. One of the guys threw a bullet right in our direction. Everyone near us put their hands up to catch it, but my son (8 yrs old) put his right hand up and miraculously snared it out of mid-air. It was pretty cool. Wyatt turned to my son, laughed out loud, and said something to the effect of “holy crap kid...you have better hands than most of our receivers” which drew a big laugh from the crowd. Then, a couple fans asked him for his gloves, and he happily handed them over. After that a female fan said “Hey Wyatt, can I have one of your cleats?” He replied (and again I’m paraphrasing) “Oh please don’t make me do that. That wouldn’t be a good thing for either of us. It’s pretty hot out here and my feet are smelly.” Again getting a big laugh from the crowd. He just seemed like a really kind, likeable guy. I thought the whole first team o-line looked very good, actually. Especially for this stage in the preseason.

He definitely plays with a mean streak similar to Richie Incognito, and he looks humungous out there.

Had an awesome time at TC today with my son. Thanks again to @Just Jack for the tickets. It’s been a couple years, so it was especially nice to get back to SJF. My son got a bunch of autographs from players including Malachi Dupri, Robert Foster, Hauschka, Reid Ferguson, Wyatt Teller (who was hilarious), Harrison Phillips (who seemed to be really quiet but played awesome and signed for just about everyone), Austin Proel, and Nate Peterman. It was really interesting following along with the Twitter reports while following practice. Quite a few of the tweets from camp reporters didn’t seem to be entirely accurate. For example, there were a few times certain quarterbacks were praised for making great passes, but watching from the stands, it was clear to everyone that it would have been a sack. There were quite a few instances of this which reminds me that these things aren’t always entirely accurate and/or lack context. A few observations from memory: - It was tough to evaluate the QB’s. They all had their ups and downs. What was clear is that Josh Allen is a “fiery” type of player who I think will be an excellent leader if he back up his good leadership presence with play on the field. McCarron was probably the most consistent player today, but he (and Peterman) just kind of seem to be going through the motions. Allen is always taking to coaches after his reps, practicing his footwork/mechanics, and encouraging the other players. - Hughes and Yarborough seemed to be virtually unblockable today. Hughes was awesome at rushing the edge, as usual. Yarborough seemed to be all over the field. Lorax also seemed to make quite a few plays. - Robert Foster was especially impressive. He and Allen never seemed to be on the right page, however, as several times Allen appeared to be looking for the back-shoulder through and Foster would run something different. Malachi Dupri was also impressive to me. Also, it seems like Clay is going to be a huge part of this offense. - I think Daboll’s offense is going to be fun to watch. Lots of different looks out there including some RPO mixed in. - Shady didn’t play all that much it seemed (at least in 11 on 11’s), but he flashed his typical electric stuff out there when he got touches. The guy definitely still has “it.” I could see him playing 2-3 more years easily if he stays healthy. Chris Ivory is sneaky fast. Had an awesome run off tackle that would have gone for a long TD. Absolutely smoked the secondary. - Harrison Phillips seemed to play a lot of 1 tech today. Mainly occupied the center and OG, which was good, but I hope they have broader plans for him. - I think Wyatt Teller is going to be very tough to keep off the field. He played the entire time with the 2nd team at RG, as John Miller played with the 1st team (and looked good). I didn’t pay close enough attention to evaluate him in pass protection, but it was difficult to not notice him in run blocking. The guy is an absolute bulldozer, and is really good at getting to the second level. As I mentioned earlier, he was absolutely hilarious when he was signing autographs. Great guy. That’s about all that comes to mind right now. Wish I was able to take notes, but I was really enjoying spending time with my son. He has always loves the Bills, but now he is old enough to really appreciate and understand the game. I’m absolutely hooked now....can’t wait for the first preseason game!!! Go Bills!!
