There is very little cost savings putting AJ Klein on PS. In April, the Bills re-signed Klein to a one-year, $1.16 million contract.

Bills would have kept Dean Marlowe but they were very cap strapped so they let him go and brought him back when they had a need. I think he is competing again Dean Marlowe who is a better special teams player. They can put Hamlin on PS in 2023 so he can get his insurance if necessary and other teams (i.e. Giants) can choose to pick him up.

The defense IS going to change because the defense we have had in the last 5 years was dependent upon a LB Edmunds who could cover a lot more space than most other LBs which allowed them to plug in Taron Johnson as nickel defender / slot CB. When he was out they tried to not adjust defense and it did not work and then when they did AJ Klein out on a show and got AP Defense Player of the Week.

They are giving him time to catch on with another team like Saskatchewan Roughriders.

What you call consistency I call constipation like a bear gets before going into hibernation where it fills bowels with hair and branches to plug the hole.

There is not one helmet for a team - players can choose from a list by standard four prominent helmet manufacturers in the NFL (Riddell, Schutt, VICIS, and Xenith). VICIS who is newest approved manufacture has been an innovative maker who was having financial issues a few years ago but seemed to have recovered. There are better helmets than the four standard brands but NFL and NFLPA are very resistant to add new manufacturers. Official testing results and list: https://www.nfl.com/playerhealthandsafety/equipment-and-innovation/equipment-testing/helmet-laboratory-testing-performance-results https://static.www.nfl.com/image/upload/v1681310780/league/kolarozeolaw53tmq37z.pdf Here is the list of top performing helmets from NFL locker room poster (you can find original in PDF File):

Taron Johnson needs to hit Josh s.o.f.t.l.y so Josh can get into game mode. He blitzes and taps him saying "In real game you would be on your ass."

No. Br*dy could not have been Br*dy without Ernie Adams.

Well P*ts head coach should blame the GM for selection of Jones and Beli-CHEAT for driving his apprentice away by seeking to trade him and make Jimmy Garoppolo his new apprentice.

I get some of my info from LinkedIn. I see a lot of things behind the scenes in NFL offices. There is also a news / talk group on it called "Buffalo Bills fans" led by "Bud Rainbow" which has some news. I also get information from Facebook specifically the Buffalo Bills Backers presidents group. I go to AP site occasionally.

When I was there I saw George Takei (Sulu) and Walter Koenig (Chekov) together from Star Trek: The Original Series. Walter Koenig told us that he was offered the lead in a X rated movie where he was the captain of a star ship. I am sure the ratio of the females to males would favor the females unlike the original series.

They could also combine it with some of the more advanced helmets which have not been approved. Some have suggested that NFL has not allowed them because they are not sponsors hence not getting on approved list. Of course there is resistance from NFL players and NFLPA with the NFLPA saying they are concerned about safety but defend players who have deliberately injured other players; at minimum they should be neutral since the players injured are also members of the union. NFLPA also resisted additional equipment NFL mandated.

I will never let ANY Beli-CHEAT honors thread go without mentioning of his cheating. It should go into record books with this annotation.

It has not been released. Last year Eli Apple signed a 1 year, $3,750,000 contract with the Cincinnati Bengals, including a $1,000,000 signing bonus, $1,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $3,750,000. He was available unsigned so I doubt he will make more this year.

The issue is the Director of Cheating and Spying Ernie Adams has retired. Beli-CHEAT has only had good seasons when he has been working with him.

I'd only rate Von 3rd after he plays for a full year for Bills.

I was on the editorial staff of The Spectrum in early 80s and I saw some of the files they had on new campus. Some were marked unsubstantiated and others had other documents attached. The university's student center on South Campus was originally paid for by student fees and they took it away for a dental school and gave students space in Amherst campus. It was not the same since most people who used it lived in off campus Buffalo area and buses stopped running. I was part of the peaceful protest. Most of people in protest started acting like this was this was he campus police issue for trying to stop us from blocking access but I told them they are still same people who many were friends with. I was first person "arrested" by two campus police and had my "mug shot" with two officers who were in picture as witnesses. Both were LB sized with beards and I put my arms on their shoulders smiling when picture was taken; the two of them tried to have straight faces. Rest of people had their pictures taken quietly. All were told this was a warning not an arrest but if they continued any trouble they would have charges filed against them with cops being the witnesses that you were and you were violating agreement. And I never called it "The Rectum". At least when I was on editorial board we attempted to differentiate between facts and opinions and required sources for articles; those which were first hand had to be identified as such.

He should get Stevie Johnson, the Revis killer, to work with him in offseason,

Also reason for RAC is a lot of throws designed to go to sideline where recipient is travelling horizontally. Play is designed that way to cut down chances of interceptions (most teams do not have a Micah Hyde) but it also cuts down opportunities of RAC. Look at all of the spectacular plays made in endzone or side of field where some thought he was throwing away but Allen is making a throw few QBs can make. Allen is a lot like me at work and Dawson Knox - he has trouble doing some easy stuff but he also does hard stuff very well.

Agreed as long as it is to NFC non Superbowl competitor if his contract allows a trade. Would be bad if he was a team Chiefs are playing this year and he takes the trade as resentment to cry havoc on offense players he faces.

In Buffalo he has been working solo with a Chinese martial arts teacher who does not want publicity. Last year he worked on his core and it shows.

Astrobot's depth chart. It is in Google docs which means sometimes some will not be able to read it. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XO2kWQtr9m01lGJJOirYmRdFeWUmPDL1LtiIUs67MuA/edit#gid=0 Hard to read sometimes because overloaded and it is still missing info.

Only if they expose it I believe so if there is as an example an undershirt under jersey with identifiable label or logo who is not a NFL sponsor they can be fined.
