Let's not pretend an NFL lockeroom is the same as a corporate job. Take away the nut grab reputation, horsing around in the locker room is nothing. Same way it wouldn't be on a construction site, factory job, bartenders etc etc The nfl and raiders doing nothing about the nut grabbing and then pearl clutching about a forehead kiss is hypocritical of them both (even though raiders are pretending its about the rehab, which they have every right to be mad about). The problem here is 1% a forehead smooch, and 99% letting the testicular torsion slide without a word. If nfl had suspended him a game and fined him, he either doesn't do this crap, or they have better ground to stand on for ripping up his contract. Trying to argue a case against him, which the nflpa will fight tooth and nail (knowing full well this isn't about the smooch), that this is over a lockeroom horsing is going to be a losing battle. Regardless, eff this dude, hopefully he get what he deserves, which is $0 guaranteed and to be treated like a pariah.

Sounds like our fair and free stock market. Except itd be 100x, and fines of up to .25%

Have you not seen our record the last few years??? If Josh misses even half a season, God forbid, all we have to do is play .500 ball and we can absolutely get into the playoffs. Insane to think we'd waste a post season opportunity with Josh at the helm. Sure if (AGAIN GOD FORBID) Josh is going to miss playoffs for sone reason, sign me up for a tank for Jamar Chase type scenario. But no, all they'd have to do is play .500 ball, and White can get that done

ty for that! do you have any go to podcasts or anything you dig for learning X & O's ? I love what you bring to the board

Can you explain why/what the differences are there? I TOTALLY DEFINITELY know, but just in case there are people less smart than me and you who don't 😆 Good to see this place has LITERALLY learned zero since Bernard lol surely no player in NFL history has ever made a 2nd year jump. Why wait around to find out amirite lol

WTF was that Tommy Doyle from Chris there? Mightve just been awkward sentence, but cool Josh made a point to keep it from being someone elses clip bait

I agree with the first sentence... that last one is crazy though. Theoretical: He has tightness in hamstring week 5, and we can potentially save him from longer term/lingering by giving him a 1 (or 2)week rest versus, sayyyy, the Jets. *Throws up hands* .... maybe 2026 is our year. Its a specific concern, but its not unfathomable. White looked sharp for a backup in MIA and NYJ. I def feel like we can still win with him versus a ton of teams. Its an insurance policy.... its not going to save your season if the Ferrari gets totalled, but it might get us to work if the bumpers hanging after a small rear ending. Andddddd I really like it for the scout team defense. I think thats a real nice perk to get them prepped. White looks like he belongs in NFL. Mitch looks like hes here still only because he went #2 overall

Great line, and i hope its sincere what were seeing. He's surprised me a bit with his maturity so far. RBs have got the raw end for a while now. Seems like their productive life expectancy is 4-6 years. Sucks to be locked into rookie pay scale for 4/5 years (4 for 1st rd'ers; but again we're talking RBs) and then unable to get a "real" contract. I hope when the new CBA is worked out they find a way to comp RB's better! If they cant/wont, then they should make it 3 years (+1 yr team option for 1st round: RB's only) for RB's. The Bills aren't doing Cook dirty; the CBA put them there. We cant handcuff ourselves to do the right thing, at a competitive disadvantage. Could they voluntarily have re-wrote the deal this offseason to add incentives or something? I was really turned off by his verbal crap this summer, but his actions seem to be different. I am not in the camp of giving him what I believe his market in FA will be, but i also get the crap situation he's in. I'd totally meet him in the middle on making this year more profitable for him. Give him some awesome kickers for performance

new nickname if he sticks around!!! at least thats the way we do nicknames in my clique lol

I think as a rookie itd be much easier ttransition into the NFL on the pass rush side, than it is on the run stop side. Hes got time to put it together... but if I had one wish for him this year, id drop my wish in the pass rush bucket!

Oh no, the current coaching staff brought in a guy as a "consultant" (prestigious!)... one that theyre familiar with/have previous work history together. Dude cant coach an offense, but hes well-liked by the guys hes coached. Easy transition for both parties, that helps both sides out. Its a role that really only makes sense to hire a guy whos coached in the NFL before, and the only people accepting the job are coming from a pool of current unemployed guys. Its a nothing-burger

100%. Im sure its not just Buffalo thats seen a game like that as a visitor either. Was probably on the extreme end, but wtf is the league and NFLPA thinking here? What else would be a homefield advantage? Make them play without helmets!!! Pump SARS into the visiting locker-room ventilation!!! Release some Grizzly bears with baby cubs on the away team sidelines!!! WHAT ARE WE EVEN DOING HERE?!?

Reason #1 I side with the players in $$ disputes. Especially the rookie scale/veteran minimum types of disputes (much less so with the Hendrickson types, but still on their side usually), like the 2nd rounders this year. NFL is Not For Long, and most of the dudes drafted don't go on to make the big $$. If, and thankfully it sounds like he hasn't, this guy wound up on a wheelchair, hed be absolutely F'd. But even if its lower end injury, and his career ended and he cant work blue collar type jobs. Everyone should be able to run around and play with their kids, have physical hobbies/stay in shape after they get out. Billionaires could and should take better care of these bottom rostered guys

Yep, Dallas is cool with that. Look at the Diggs there. Dudes been pretty boom or bust and they love him there. He may give up some long TD's breaking on a route, but he also picks those off at a high clip too. Hope we see Hairston gets encouraged to play like that. A long TD isnt the end of the world with our offense (obv you hope a safety catches him).... but an extra possession for us is often a back breaker. I forget the coordinator we brought in (from NE I think), but sounds like we may lean into a more aggressive defense this year with more m2m! Coleman day 1 TC was practice. But day 2 wasnt! Lets wait to find out what he's doing today 😆

Thats different though. Only our laundry matters in practice. Unless its bad, and then its just practice!
