I agree. None of us knows for sure what McDs plans are this season. I'm looking at it this way. In the modern NFL the DLs number one priority is pass rushing. You hope they are strong against the run too. The normal secondary (starting 2 CBs and 2 Ss) have a defined role. The only "wildcard" in player personnel are the other 3 players. I'm going to wait to see how McD uses those players specifically against each type of offense they face. I have a feeling that's what's up Sean's sleeve and Bobby Babich's presser only strengthens that feeling. I realize this is a departure from McDs past but that is the other reason I believe he wanted to take over the DC role this year. Only time will tell what exactly is going on.

Great write up Gunner. First, I have to comment on McDermott and the DC role. I liked the D look. I liked the added aggressiveness. I know it will cause some big plays against the D and adds pressure for the secondary but I like the overall approach. The run D looked very good. Looking forward to the next 2 preseason games to see what is called. Kyle Allen has disappointed me so far. I was pretty confident that his play on a team with this type of organization would have helped him. Doesn't seem to be going the way I hoped. It will be interesting who starts with the 2's after Josh has his snaps next game. I get the feeling it will still be Kyle, but he has to perform like he knows what he's doing. This week of practice and the game this weekend should give us a pretty good idea how the competition spots are going. Overall, it was a good preseason game for the Bills. They used the game the way it is designed to be used. Go Bills.

Fun game with a lot to think about for the coaches.

He's borderline between the 53 and PS.

Ankou has made millions in the NFL. He's no shoe clerk.

I'd keep Kyle Allen out there for another drive. You need to test him hard after that tip INT.

Kingsley got moved out of his lane on that TD.

If he does, I hope they are good trades with good returns!

I can't remember either, but Keenum was the hands down backup. With Kyle Allen's struggles I want him to get a lot of work in all 3 games. Barkley has had his snaps and we all know who he is. I don't know what their plan is, it's just what I would like to see.

2 players can but the rules are a little weird on how they can be used. Maybe someone who knows for sure can chime in. The other thing is, if 2 players are calling plays, will they be effective having limited experience doing it? I'm not sure.

Kyle Allen is, for now, the prime backup. He better get a lot of preseason snaps in all the games. IMO.

I like the idea and have mentioned the possibility myself. I just don't know how the "green dot" helmet works out. Do they give it to a safety?

I'm all for Gabe having a career season and toping it off with the SB winning TD reception. Let another team pay him big money and get that 3rd round comp pick. Beane will need it picking at 32.

It's all in the math. Edmunds = Milano x (CJ Mosley squared).

Barney Rubble.

While you want to have depth everywhere, every time a backup comes in a game it's a roll of the dice.

When I was about 12 years old, I was lying on the floor watching tv and my little brother (toddler at the time) was wanting me to play with him. I kept pushing him away. He "retaliated" by picked up his wooden Fischer-Price "Little People" School Bus and smashed me in the head with it. Head wounds bleed for a long time!

I enjoy them for what they are.

No. Last year there was only a dozen or so. There never is a whole lot. That's what has made Beane a bit of a legend for pulling some off. I don't expect one, but you never know. A Quess or Settle trade would probably garner interest from a few teams. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/transactions/2022/trade/

Thanks for the info. I will check it out Saturday. Are there a lot of pop-ups and other annoying stuff? Do you do anything special to watch? VPNs, etc?

How about Quess + 6th for a 5th?

LOL. I can say the same as to the bolded about your posts. Never change Scott!

Those stats would be fine with me. It's about how many drives are maintained with his play that will prove his worth this season. I want to see that 3rd and 7 picked up. Having that threat underneath could also make some over the top plays work against one-on-one coverage.
