This dude is strange. Something tells me he's never really had someone put his ego in check. And if they've tried, he'd probably just take his ball and go home.

Thad doesn't believe Allen is a franchise QB.

Pants pants pants pants pants on fire! Some might say Morse is frageelee.

He'll see.... they'll all see!! The horror...the horror....

He had surgery to his core muscles during the off-season, so they're probably just being extra cautious that they don't re-injure something.

I saw some tweets today that said he broke a couple of big runs in 11-on-11 drills, as did Gore and Marcus Murphy. Yesterday I saw a few Buffalo media members tweet that Shady was running with more power. So far so good, I guess.

Is this helpful? I saw pie and got excited.

I think so? >>>>> Also, maybe not? <<<<< I'm confused.

This is one of the main reasons I'm a Milano fan, kid is somehow always around the ball and finds ways to get turnovers.

Nah. When Oliver was drafted Kyle called him up and told him he'd be around the team/facilities here and there.

"Hey, hey, watch that other hand, man. I ain't no muppet."

Perhaps I should've phrased it differently... the current photo we're being asked to caption reminded me of the Necessary Roughness guy.

Anyone ever see that old movie Necessary Roughness? There's a backup QB in that movie who ends up having to come into a game and on his first snap he just runs towards the ref screaming, "Blow the whistle, blow the whistle!" Rosen reminds me of that guy.

If anything, he and Hughes should create plenty of pressure. Hughes is usually near the top in QB pressures and Murphy was as well before the injuries. Sometimes pressure can be just as good as a sack as it causes QBs to hurry and make poor decisions. And, fun fact, Washington traded the 34th overall pick in 2014 to the Cowboys for picks 47 (Murphy) and 78 (Spencer Long), both ended up on the Bills. The Cowboys took Demarcus Lawrence with that #34 pick.

I didn't see this talked about anywhere else so I figured I'd start a thread because why not? Not sure how many people caught Brian Baldinger's breakdown on Edmunds last week, but he highlighted the fact that Edmunds led the team not only in tackles, but passes defensed as well. Three of those pass defenses ended up as interceptions as two were deflected to Poyer and one to Milano. So, to me, that kinda adjusts his stat-line a little bit. He had 121 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions, and two forced fumbles. Add in the three deflections and he caused seven turnovers last season. Just thought that kinda stood out. We know it took him some time to settle into his new position but as the season went on you could definitely see improvement. And that's one of the things I'm most excited for this year, is seeing their top two picks from 2018 taking the next step. Towards the end of the season, they occasionally let Edmunds rush the passer from the edge. I hope they continue to do that just to throw some different things at opponents. What does everyone think Edmunds is capable of in year two?

Bold prediction: Aaron Rodgers holds himself accountable for bad plays. Bills Bold prediction: Jerry Hughes gets 15 sacks, goes the the Pro Bowl.

Haha, I didn't think they f'ed up when drafting Allen, but I admit, I thought for a minute they took the wrong Josh. Glad to have been wrong.

Some might even call it the Cadillac of crappers.

Good article. On a more random note, did anyone notice his girlfriend (or wife, I'm not sure) in the first episode (I think) of Embedded? She's just about even with him in height, so I went and checked how tall the dude is and he's 6'6". Yowza.

Wow, that's surprising. Daniels is a solid player and he was a captain there, very well respected by teammates. I wonder if the Packers medical staff told coaches that the injury could be something that persists and dogs him going forward. He wasn't making *that* much money there, so the cap excuse is kinda lame, granted, I don't know GB's cap situation. He won't be on the couch for long... unless he willingly chooses to draw out the process in order to skip camp, haha.

Hey pal, you insult my light beer and my dislike for summer again and I'm.... I'm gonna sit right here and do sh*t-all about it.

Yeah, every time I see stuff about work ethic, character, competitiveness, etc. it'll remind me of EJ. Good dude, I'm sure he worked hard as well. He didn't get the best deal in having Marrone/Hackett tell him from day one, "If it isn't there, just run." He already had that mentality in college and I thought it was something he needed to work on but Marrone was all about his 1970s-style power run game so that's what we got. The other thing for EJ that never came together was the mental side of things. I recall reading an article on the official website just before the 2014 season began and it mentioned how he struggled in school quite a bit and needed tutors. Nothing wrong with that, but I'm sure that puts someone even more behind the 8-ball when trying to study/recall/execute all the things a professional QB does. He also looked like he lacked a degree of trust in his teammates. If the play wasn't there as designed, his instinct was to do it himself somehow.

I love the scene earlier when he's trying to scam his landlady and then she sees him with the "mugger" he just saved her from. "You sonofab*tch, how'd you get in here?!? *throws coffee in his face.*

I expect he'll take some strides this season now that they've given him a better OL and WR group. The inaccurate throws are probably gonna be just a part of who he is as a QB. I'm confident he'll improve in that area this season but I think it's something that's always gonna be there. And the Bills are fine with that, Beane said as much. He knows there's a risk of a "WTF throw/play" but he's said they'll deal with that because they know he has the ability to make the big play almost anytime. Again, I think he'll get better but overall, I feel like he'll likely always be a guy that can make you say, "Holy crap that was...bad" one minute and, "Holy crap, how did he do that?" the next. I'll take it after years of seeing guys like Edwards and Taylor be too cautious mixed with the excitement/depression of Fitzmagic, who wasn't afraid to push it down the field but didn't always have the arm to do it, and then throw in scattershot EJ, a year of Kyle Orton and... yeah, I'll take the 6'5" monster who can leap over linebackers and chuck it half a mile.
