You can see Benford getting hands on him for a split second at the beginning of the video, and Keon doesn't end up in that position with that leverage if he doesn't beat him off the line. Of course I'm not going to overreact to one rep. I like that there's been a clear upwards trajectory from day one of camp and he's seemingly become Allen's favorite target. We'll know more when the reps are happening in real games.

That's Keon beating one of the most physical CBs in the game off the line, then beating him again at the catch point.

I don't think anyone disputes that Moore looks explosive as a route runner and on the run. It's his ability to apply those traits in live reps that is in question. All the other nuances of the position - reading coverages, presenting himself as an available target to his QB, etc. - are what he's been missing throughout his career. FWIW I don't believe he'll be cut either, even if Samuel was completely healthy. I don't think he's a roster lock either though. He's a former draft bust that didn't sign with a team until May and he hasn't made a big impact at camp. I won't be totally shocked if Shavers makes the roster over him, if we keep 5 WRs as usual.

He had some strong showings in OTAs from what I remember but hasn't done much in training camp. He missed a few practices due to injury and just hasn't been consistently making plays with the 1st team offense. I've seen Tyrell Shavers and Kristian Wilkerson brought up more in recent days.

Give me John Wawrow. "Josh Allen, uh, is the, uh, reigning MVP of the NFL. That's, uh, MVP of course stands for Most Valuable Player, Josh Allen was voted the Most Valuable Player, and, well, uh, you know the thing about that, uh, Josh Allen wears the number 17."

Apparently Mack Hollins is having a bad training camp and a lot of Pats fans don't want him to make the team.

I Googled this on my work computer and HR just set an unplanned meeting with me. Earlier I Googled Hard Knocks but made a rather embarrassing typo on the second word. Anyways my HR rep must be a fan of the show. I'll let you know how the meeting goes.

DeWayne Carter doesn't know how to use a key. Cut him.

Amazing show. I can't personally recommend it to anyone because it is for very specific tastes. The sequence of him trying to steal the security tape had me dying laughing, and yes the finale was incredible.

Chernobyl was unbelievably good. But I would only watch 1 episode a week, the way shows are intended to be watched. It's too grim to binge. Plus there's only 5 episodes so if you start this week you'll count down to the NFL season 😁 Another HBO show I'll mention that no one else brought up is Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal. I have no clue if anybody other than me has watched it and I don't even know how to explain what it is. Best description I can give is extreme social experiments conducted on real people by an evil genius. But that's underselling it. Your jaw will regularly be on the floor.

That's been my stance all along. In a vacuum I don't like the idea of giving a big multi-year extension to a RB. But the opportunity cost just isn't that bad for us. If for example we had traded for DK Metcalf and extended him I would have accepted losing Cook as a necessary consequence. Since this regime clearly just isn't going to go that route... I'm left wanting to make sure we at least have some manner of explosive offense and easy button TDs, because like last year I don't expect the on schedule passing game to be a consistent source of those plays. It's mostly going to be Allen improvisation and Cook explosive runs. I accept that Cook is not a down in down out back like Kyren Williams but I actually value his skill set more for this team the way it is currently constructed.

Here's my question - would the money used on Cook actually go towards upgrading the WRs? Or would it go towards more defensive depth, 30+ year old defensive linemen and the like? I think the history of this regime tells you which way that would go. That's why I've come to lean towards paying Cook, I don't think that money is going to be spent better so might as well lock up the one consistently explosive player we have around Josh.

So according to John it just comes down to annual guarantees. That would explain why national reporters are saying the sides aren't too far off. This makes me more optimistic an extension will happen without breaking the bank.

John wouldn't just throw this stuff out there unless he heard it from a source. So I wonder if the Bills just aren't all that interested in extending him under any circumstances... But that seems to conflict with some of the reports that say the two sides are not far apart on getting a deal done. Very strange situation.
