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.

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?

Yolo, I LOVE satire. This IS satire, right? Right? (cue up star wars meme)

Gigantic huevos

Going for it

In the immortal words of Rocky Balboa: "Nothin's ovuh!"

Totally agree, unfortunately. In that respect, Feliciano and our OTs losing their matchups, it looked a bit like the AFC Championship game, innit?

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.

This analysis is objective, comprehensive, and clear-eyed (which is a lot like objective). Sober and salient.

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.

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...

Well then isn't it nice to have some elite EDGE length on the right (Rousseau) and the left (Epenesa).

I'd imagine he could provide some situational pass rushing juice, at the least. Enough so that the Bills must spend time on it this week, just in case.

The vast majority of folks were not wearing masks no matter where they were in the stadium. Actually seemed like people were giving me looks any times I masked up myself and my 4-year old daughter to walk to the concessions area.
