NY Times feature piece on Josh Allen
Richard Noggin replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You don't want to offer an opening salvo? A brief summary or objective analysis? Not even a hot take? Nothing? -
Sounds like the mantra of our polarized times.

TNF: Panthers at Texans 8:20 NFLN
Richard Noggin replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Tonight, he's actually NOT seeing very real pass rushers closing in around him. SO loose with the ball in the pocket, holding it low in one hand as the pocket collapses. That's been a persistent flaw of his since college. He'd be good if he just took care of the damned ball better on a fundamental level in the pocket (keep two hands on the damned rock, hold it up higher, and abbreviate that motion a little to eliminate such a dramatically low dip in the windup--he's no Byron Leftwich, but I'll bet his motion is still "bigger" than most). It's especially weird that he's so loose and long with his ball handling in the pocket, because he seems to be so mechanically sound and accelerated when throwing on the run in either direction, especially to his left. -
"Buy stock in A.J. Epenesa" - says Daniel Jeremiah

Also some additional risk involved in projecting, of course. Maybe a young, physically freakish MLB prospect doesn't develop the instincts you'd want. But then again, maybe a polarizing but driven QB prospect grows exponentially into his physical talent once exposed to professional coaching and year-round regimens (2 shaky performances this season notwithstanding). -

The key to it all is, dare I say it, that growth mindset McD preaches. The humility and resiliency to invite discomfort and uncertainty in the pursuit of improvement. Credit AJE for possessing the DNA to re-create himself as a football player, and big credit to the Bills organization for identifying in him the potential to do so. I really thought his best fit in the NFL was as a 3-4 DE/5-technique guy, which might have meant even GAINING a few pounds. But that was the narrow view that strength and length were his only NFL traits. The Bills, on the other hand, seem to like to project how these specimens might grow into more dynamic roles. -
Williams needs to be benched
Richard Noggin replied to DieHardBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And moreover, I don't love seeing him THINK he needs to slide left while throwing (and thus throwing inaccurately) even when he doesn't. -
Are you concerned about it?

NFL TV Schedule and Maps: Week 2, 2021
Richard Noggin replied to SlimShady'sSpaceForce's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just like the Texans will the following week. -
Phew.

I don't like it if WFT loses. I don't want them feeling cornered just yet next week.

Bills switch to man coverage vs Steelers
Richard Noggin replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But by then one or both of the starting safeties are long gone, and therefore likely cheaper; this could in turn reallocate/redistribute cap space in myriad ways, including re-signing a 3rd or 4th-year drafted CB2 to a big deal. The complication is that CB1 White's deal runs through the 2025 season, which would be a 2022 draftee's 4th season...wherein we face a confluence. Good problem to have. -
Shaun Livingston. Or Kevin Ware.

Not many people seem to be talking about the disadvantage of the opposing defense KNOWING it's a pass (for the most part) on most plays, based on formation. The offensive linemen are really up against it when a talented pass rush can consistently tee off on the snap count and attack with impunity. I believe Daboll needs to help his guys out by being less predictable on a play-to-play basis.

Does anyone else sort of avoid this place after a loss?
Richard Noggin replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Stay away until Wednesday, typically. Once we're tangibly on to the next opponent, it's worthwhile to get back at it. -
I love satire @Steelz! Got a lotta fish on the line, too. I refuse to believe the overtly misused homophones and overall bravado is in earnest. Then again...

So have I successfully reserved a G spot? (hehe, but seriously.) If not, life goes on. But I'm not sure if I'm in or not... Thanks. -
Great read. Thanks for posting. McDermott's relentless approach to self-improvement (that Carol Dweckian growth mindset he preaches) may be his most important quality as his tenure evolves and coaches and players come and go. He is dedicated not to a certain defensive philosophy, for example, but to improving his defensive philosophy each season. Admittedly, that's not the best written example (which is an opportunity for me to grow and state my point more effectively in the future).

Please elaborate? And speak slowly and clearly...
