That is one scary looking dude. Watching that video I did see some Crosby...but the way he plays with that intensity...kid of reminds me of a younger Joey Bosa too

I don't know if his contact makes it difficult to move on from him this year. Maybe a cap guru can answer that for me. But he did have some streaks of struggle last year and seems to get knicked up more than he has in the past. I liked Hardy last year in the preseason. Added so much more at CB than Codrigton. I think he's who I'm thinking of that played some NCB and didn't look terrible. I think if he can show better judgment returning kicks he could lock down a spot on the 53 and see some real reps at NCB. We say that every year. "So and so won't clear waivers". Yet most times they do. Yearly only a handful of guys get claimed by a new team league wide. Yet, if it's close and there is legitimate worry he wouldn't clear because he showed well in preseason, you keep him, cut Lewis. Cheaper contract and no one is likely to claim Lewis.

I agree. Hamlin will never be a top starter level guy in the NFL. I would say his ceiling is below league average as a starter. But he does make some plays here and there and more times then not I believe he does what he's told and is where he is supposed to be. Facing facts, we were spoiled here in Buffalo watching Hyde and Poyer play in their prime for so many years. Not many will be suitable replacements for them. I think our expectations for how the position is played is raised a bit higher than in most fanbase. I really have no idea if Hancock will be an upgrade. I've never watched a full game of his. And who knows how his transition to safety will go. I do think Lewis having time in the position and playing in this system gives him a mental upgrade to have the leg up on a rookie that has a lot to learn still. I think the only way Hancock flat out beats him is if he shows to be some physical specimen out there. My best guess is one is kept on the active roster and the other is signed back to the practice squad.

I expect Hairston and Benford to start at the corner position. Taron at NCB. At Safety Rapp and Hamlin are the starters coming into camp. If someone outplays them, so be it. As of the close of last year, Bishop did not look like a guy poised to take over. Maybe a healthy camp changes that. Forrest or whoever his name is is a dart throw and a guy that people desperately wanting anyone but Hamlin are clinging to. And Hancock is going to have to learn the position. I don't see him as a day 1 option. And for what it's worth with all the hand wringing about Hamlin, I felt he was actually better than Rapp for much of the season. In any event the Bills action (or lack thereof) tells us what they think of that room. They made no move to bring in guys that are established starters, didn't look to the position high in the draft. They like their guys there.

In honor of Sanders being selected in round 5 he should pay it in nickels.

Can't see targets if you can't earn the snaps to be on the field

I've been a Chark fan for a long time. What scares me off him right now is he couldn't get playtime in a horrible Charger WR room last year. When asked about it several times Harbs made it a point to say he wasn't playing because the other guys were better. Yikes.

I think the Panthers had a sneaky good off season. They did pay a bit much for some of their FAs, but I think they made up for that with a solid draft. Rams had a good draft and upgraded with Adams.

Yup. But they had to pay Tua, Waddle and Ramsey😂😂

He has exactly ZERO career punt return yards. And only 708 career KO return yards...just over 450 of that were last year. Not really impressed there.

He's got some skill. I he does bring some nice speed. Good depth and an able spot starter should injury strike. I would hope Laviska rented and didn't purchase something.

Here's my prediction: - Buffalo will be scheduled for 17 games over an 18 week span -They will play more games in Orchard Park than any other city. This is good for us. -Buffalo may have a game overseas. Unless they don't. IF they do, they will be the visitor. Unless they aren't. - Buffalo will play several games (6 total is my guess) against their AFCE rivals. - The Bills will play the majority of their games on SUNDAYS. Some games on a Monday Thursday or Saturday are possible as well. Plan accordingly.

Dude is a BEAST of a player.

Exactly. To me, it's the same as buying a cool puzzle at the store, opening the box when you get home and seeing the puzzle is in pieces and screaming that it's garbage. Sometimes you have to actually put the pieces together, see what the picture looks like over time and then decide. Right now, the roster is an incomplete puzzle. We will see the picture form over the next few months. Piece by piece it will snap together. Seems like almost every year around here the puzzle is broken and we are expecting to be short a few pieces. But over the course of TC and the actual season itself we see the puzzle more and more completed. And it usually has led to a really nice picture at the end of it all.

All weekend long people cried about no speed WR being drafted. The Monday after the draft Beane brings a WR with speed that's the same age as some of those drafted over the weekend, has 4 years NFL experience, and is brimming with potential after playing wish some truly horrible QBs... This same people "NOOOOO....not himmmm" Who are you expecting to find this late in the off-season that's out on the FA market? Please. Mystify us with a name. This would be a tremendous get for a talented kid that would add something we just don't have at the position.

This is the guy I called for during the draft. SPEED, youth and potential. This would be a great signing IMO. Has had trash QBs throwing him the ball his career. He could explode in this offense with Allen.

RB room is full. Cook is the starter. Davis and Johnson have roles behind him with Gore on the PS. Beane seems to like taking the RB about every 2 years. Gives that guy about that 2 years to develop and learn the offense/pro game and then he becomes the new starter Next year IF Cook isn't here I expect Davis to start, Johnson and a rookie to back him up. Seems to be the cycle. If for any reason Cook pushes his way out before the start of the season, there are plenty of backs on the market that can be brought in at a low price.

Wonderful. That's not the kind of deep ball I'm talking about. And I'm pretty sure you know that already. And what the NFL declares is a "deep ball" (20 yards lol) isn't the topic I'm talking "Go". I'm talking straight up the field past the safeties. We don't have to do this dance with all the mental gymnastics and pretend Josh is great at everything. And I don't need charts and graphs and analytics to tell me what my eyes tell me. He does NOT throw a good "Go" route. He had one season and maybe a half of the one that followed where he looked like it was coming around. That's about it.

I don't have the answer to that. BUT I do remember JP Losman throwing some really pretty moon balls to Lee Evans at the Ralph.

I don't think that's stupid at all, actually. I've had the same thoughts. People confuse arm strength with deep ball accuracy. Allen has a strong arm. Allen is not a good deep ball thrower. Both can be true. The only thing I want to see is Allen with a Worthy, someone he would have real issue over throwing that can also get 5-10 yards past his man deep and just have Allen heave it deep and let the speed guy go get it. Even if the hook up hits 5-6 times over the course of the year it makes it so the defense has to respect that outside speed and play against it.

Let's see what they do to upgrade the room between now and TC. If they stay as is, I admit it wouldn't be inspiring. But let's see if they bring back a vet like Cooper. Maybe go younger and get Elijah Moore. Maybe a trade? Point is it's not like Beane is just on vacation from now until September. I also am among the few that think Shavers may be given a shot to make the 53 and he would be in Hollins role from last year. I'd like to see what we have with him too...I think he could be a good role player.

I got a give a shout out to the Carolina Panthers. All "future Bills" jokes aside they got some really good players at nice values IMO.

Because he's DeSean Watson and Justin Tucker wrapped into one. And that's OFF the football field.

Maybe he gets some training in that 6th OL spot and Anderson is the heir apparent to Edwards.
