Week 1: Bills at Rams on TNF in NFL Kickoff Game
Turk71 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Great Bills hat, my brother has one of those. He keeps it mounted on the wall at his house and wears it on game day, cracks me up. Cmon, snap out of it Miyagi. 😂 -

Good Bills have a decent punter One week until liftoff -
Could Aaron Donald potentially miss Week 1 due to suspension?

Roid Rage There has to be discipline for swinging your helmet at people. That's assault with a weapon. A weapon wielded by a 300lb beast. Dangerous. -
Our new punter will be (Update pg. 38 - Martin Signed)
Turk71 replied to JMM's topic in The Stadium Wall
Just trying to raise the Bills' offer I would imagine -
Dont know if this has been mentioned already but this is from an ESPN+ article about NFL top 100 snubs. They listed 8 snubs. 7. Matt Milano, LB, Buffalo Bills "Over the past five seasons, Milano leads all linebackers with at least 500 coverage snaps in targeted EPA allowed at minus-55.5, per NFL Next Gen Stats. He also leads all linebackers in that span with a minus-11% completion percentage over expectation allowed. And he ranks third among linebackers in that span in yards per coverage snap allowed (0.6) and is first among players currently on teams. I didn't go into this list thinking Milano would be on it, but those coverage numbers are astonishing."

Matt Araiza accused of rape, served with a lawsuit.
Turk71 replied to bill8164's topic in Off the Wall
Two other teams drafted punters before the Bills took Araiza, who was clearly the highest rated punter in the draft. Why did they know enough not to pick him and the Bills did not? Did the Bills know and take a chance that it would just go away? Otherwise, why did the Bills think he was dropping and teams were drafting other punters? McD looked uncomfortable and pissed off to be in that situation. -

Turk71 replied to bill8164's topic in Off the Wall
The Bills never spoke with her attorney. He contacted them twice and they completely ignored him, never got back to him. Their 'thorough' investigation had no input whatsoever from the victim or her attorney. -

So the Bills 'thorough' investigation made no contact with and had no input from the victim or her attorney whatsoever, that's a thorough investigation? wtf -

Turk71 replied to bill8164's topic in Off the Wall
Her earrings, nose ring, and bellybutton ring were all ripped out. Her friends who were looking for her found her bloody and crying. She immediately told them she was raped. She told her father, the police were notified later that day and she was examined. It definitely doesn't sound like a made up story to me. Her father notified the University police by phone who filed no report and later said that the dad notifying them by phone was not the same as making a report. SDSU was undefeated and ranked at the time and are being accused of trying to sweep it under the rug. The story of the gang rape was known on campus and several athletes of various sports complained to the Univ wanting to know why nothing was being done about it. She is accusing Araiza of leading her to a bedroom and throwing her face down on the bed to be violently gang raped. She also suspects that a drink he had given her was drugged. Why the Bills would want to be at the center of this for a punter is beyond me. -
Was that Zach Moss run actually impressive?
Turk71 replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think a lot of people are underestimating Moss' potential when healthy. This is from before the 2020 draft. Utah's Zack Moss forced a missed tackle on 38% of rushes in 2019. Most among any RB with 150+ carries in a season since 2014. On top of over 1,400 rushing yards and 15 tds in his final collegiate season, Moss also had 28 receptions for 388 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He also led his draft class in yards after contact. I won't be surprised if he breaks out. -
I don't think Kumerow is anything special on STs or as a wr. Hodgins fits a niche as a wr that the Bills need. I think it would be a mistake to let him go. If they do I think he will be picked up and have a decent career somewhere else. I think trying to put him on the p s would be the same as releasing him. He will almost certainly be poached imo. I saw him play in college many times and was in the stadium for 2 of his games. He caught almost everything thrown in his direction and was most efficient in the red zone; 12 red zone targets for 12 catches and 9 tds his last college year. On a side note; his father James Hodgins spent 8 years in the NFL as a fullback and won a SB with the Rams lead blocking for Marshall Faulk.

Hodgins has great hands and rarely drops passes. His 1.1% drop rate was best in the nation. What he lacks in speed and athleticism he makes up for with size, body control, positioning, and great hands. His catch radius, ball tracking, and high pointing are also major strengths. Senior year red zone targets (inside the 20) were 12 for 12 with 9 tds. More than one site said his hands and body control were perhaps the best in his class. He won contested throws consistently in college. His pro comparables were Michael Thomas and Allison on one site. I think he fits in a niche that he, Kumerow, and maybe Howard can fill; a big possession target in the middle of the zone and in the red zone. I think it could come down to keeping him or Kumerow. If it comes down to that I think I would keep Hodgins and trade Kumerow to GB.

Surprising PFF has Edmunds rated sub par after every season They have Roquan rated even lower for last season.
-
Where did you get that from? Can you link to the source? My eyes tell me that's probably not true Did you just make that up because you like Edmunds and want it to be true?

Week 2 of Camp - updates and talking points (OL??)
Turk71 replied to GunnerBill's topic in The Stadium Wall
My post was sarcastic. Of course the o line is important and Josh Allen is not really Superman -
Is Joe Brady on the staff in case Ken Dorsey flubs it?
Turk71 replied to Utah John's topic in The Stadium Wall
His cousin Dave Shula (not his older brother Dave) was a fellow ski bum housemate of mine in Park City in '86 '87. Skied a ton and went on some Grateful Dead road trips together. Smart, funny, all around good dude. He's a year older than Mike. -
The Belle Star. I remember when it burned down. That place rocked. Made a fake Sheriffs ID in 77 when I was 16 with a Polaroid. Late 70s, early 80s at Sunset beach , Mulligans Beach and the Brick bar, Mickey Rats, SB day parties at Crystal Beach. Great concerts at the Aud and Summerfests at the stadium. Weekend parties in Caz Park and madness on Seneca St. South Buffalo was partying hard, glad I survived.🙂
