Da webster guy

You must have a small league if Bease is going undrafted (or maybe its not PPR). Kicker and center were huge issues for us last year and remain the same question marks today. Thats not good. Someone oughta teach Tyree Jackson some TE techniques and coach him up. He's not gonna make it as a pro qb but boy he sure would make a nasty redzone matchup as a Tight End.

His audio is so crappy i've busted on him a few times about it on twitter. Like 'Baldy whaddya up in the space station with that audio transmission?" He doesnt think its funny, but it is. He's got the same audio guy that manages all the sports press conferences where u can't hear the question because the idiots are too lazy and inept to properly mike up the people asking the questions. They can do it fine at the white house, but god forbid the sports world gets with the program.. .

aaaaand yet vegas still has us as 3.5 underdogs. they still have QW, CJ mosely and adams down the middle.

Nothing like getting a D+ grade and a contract year to get a guy to play at a high level. Shaq wasn't drafted by Beaner, he's here because he's a good player and he's been able to shake some injuries and flash some talent here and there. On 3rd and short I like him at DE over anybody else we have at that position.

I agree with both points. Every team improved their Oline in the offseason on paper. Khalil was a good get for them, assuming he stays healthy at center, which isn't a great spot for a battered veteran. That really saved their butts. I have to admire the guys strategy, he announces retirement, loses a bunch of weight quickly to show that he's enjoying civilian life, but then slowly gains it back and stays in playing shape. He skips all the OTA's and most of training camp and then has an "epiphany" that he really is gonna miss football so he signs a one year deal for $8.5 million and moves to the east coast to play in NY. I woulda done it the exact same way. As far as LeVeon goes, we will be at full strength on defense opening day. Good luck to anyone going up against our D who hasn't played in 2 years. If he had a killer passing attack behind him and an experienced Oline that's played together for a few years, I might be worried. But he doesn't. He's toast.

Spags is busy fixing his huge screen door that covers the front of his garage, tending to his roma tomatoes and selling the rest of his stereos that 'fell off the truck'.... He aint got no time for smack no more...

The funny thing is he didn't really struggle either. Played less than a dozen snaps and had several impactful plays. The one where he jumps to block a pass, somehow lands on his feet after Q pushes him back and then gets to Brissett anyway (ended in a throwaway pass) was brilliant for a kids first day in the league. Cosell is useful to learn about other teams, but he's just another example of how national coverage guys have zero clue about Buffalo players. And what the hell was Tasker doing with that Vosean Joseph question? Wake up Steve

Yeah Wade is a free practice squad spot, it would be lunacy to put him anywhere else for now. If he has he hands, I'd try him at kick returner for sure, possibly punt but he'd have to show great ball skills for that role. He sure had an impressive 2nd gear there on his run. Adrenaline or just natural ability?

Playing speed between the two is distinctly different. McKenzie is a 4.4 speed guy and ray ray a 4.5 ish in their straight line times, but McKenzie makes that difference seem huge when you compare how quick they are carrying the ball in a game. Given that McKenzie has proven himself more in actual NFL games I see him as the 6th man and Cam Phillips 7th (practice squad)

Because the Oline did open up a few nice holes. His 10 yard run was an example, the line got him the first 5 yds and he got the second with that wicked little duck under move. Little runners can use that to their advantage, getting small in the hole. I see Gunners point with speed though, Singletary isn't fast. He ran a lousy 4.66 at his pro day, which is about what Ed Oliver ran with an extra 80 pounds on his frame. ( incredible). He'll never be a homerun hitter in the NFL, but very few backs can get outside the edge and upfield in the pros. We watched CJ Spiller try to do it for years with limited success and he was blazing fast. Singletary is the same size as Barry Sanders 5'7 200ish. They can make guys miss, and move the chains.

OMG im sick I missed it.

did he do well? That's a great Oline

Do I really have to scroll through 500 messages or can we please have 2 threads (gasp) on the same game. For those of us who couldnt see the game and would love to know how we did overall in 3 minutes or less, this would be greatly appreciated. Who flashed? Is Zay OK. Ed? Murphy? Did we put any pressure on them with that killer Oline they have? Josh? These stupid networks in Rochester on Directv you can't get anything, even if you wanna pay extra. HELP

Mark my words the whole idea of breaking up an excellent tandem of Chubb and Duke, who complimented each other well, with Kareem Hunt not only sends the exact opposite message you SHOULD be sending to your team, but will backfire tremendously for the Browns. Don't blame Duke for wanting out. That organization just joined the Cowboys and the Raiders in the "we'll take anybody, even the Aholes" club.

Amazing that the stupid networks and the NFL haven't figured out a simple a la carte pay-for-what-u-watch system. All these Billions in revenue, and all Roger Goodell cares about is whether we overspend on a stadium to rent corporate boxes. Its simple: if fans want to watch their team, they'll pay to do so. Preseason games are still desired programming, so make it ridiculously simple for me to watch it wherever in the world i am via pay per view. If I can't you're failing to meet the needs of your customers/fanbase AND losing money at the same time. Which means you suck at business.

The biggest issue with the little guys is getting them somewhere they can see the field. Most everyone stands in the lower sections when a good play is happening on offense, and if you're 4 feet tall you miss every good play. It can be frustrating. Get ready to lift him up quickly on the big plays, and just stand him on his seat when everyone else is standing. Any game will be cool for him. Kids preseason game being the ideal first choice

Yeah I think Morse will start against the Jets, but we need this cat to come through the protocol ready to play. If I'm Beane, I sit down with my scouts, Oline coach and I find the best backup center in the league and trade for the guy immediately. We gambled on a guy who has a history of injuries and 3 prior concussions, choosing him over Paradis and paying him more. We now have to double down on that bet and invest in a backup because the goddamn opener is 6 weeks away and we already know what its gonna look like with Bodine in there.

The thing that annoys me most about Bloated Bob is how all he can talk about is "greatest franchise ever, greatest qb ever, greatest coach ever blah blah" He has this strange need to validate their success by putting other dynasties down, and making it seem like nobody has ever even been close to that good before. Its part pride and he should be proud--I get that--but after awhile it comes off as insecure and pathetic. I guess it comes down to class. They've had an incredible run, but I've always felt the Pats lacked class. Guys like Edelman, Gronk, Belichick. Great at their jobs but they could use a little more Marv Levy and a little less Bob Kraft.

Jets getting QW in the middle and picking up CJ Mosley is going to change their defense significantly. Adams behind them thats the best 1,2,3 down the middle of the field in the league on D. Openers are always big tonesetters for the season, gonna be tough sledding inside on the Jets. We have some nice upgrades too though, and I think Morse will start. Bills 23-20

When Milano went out we got shredded for 300 freaking yards on the ground vs the Pats. That says it all to me. No matter how good an offense is, they can't overcome that.

Where's Robert Foster ?

Its a joke that he's still up there on the wall.

This is the stuff that bugs me about front office/pr people. We support the team through thick and thin, but when something as critical this comes up, there should be more communication with the fans regarding the prognosis, his history w concussions, treatment protocol etc. Morse is it for us this year. We can't have Bodine getting steamrolled into Josh on every other play like last year. We don't have depth at center, this isn't a minor thing. Guys younger than Mitch retire over this condition. Or maybe it IS minor, but we wouldn't know because there's no information coming our way. Reminds me of Donahoe/Gregggg era. We don't deserve to know, as long as they know. (p.s. thanks for the one way relationship)

Exactly. They should be grateful if they understood that any type of content that promotes a greater understanding of the game and more insight into their players for the fans is a good thing. Sounds like the issue is the decisions are being made by people that don't understand that. Having an MBA and working in marketing I have to laugh at some of the decisions these football organizations make. They would get crushed in any other business with that type of shortsightedness, but they have a monopoly and a great product so whatever decisions they make doesn't really matter. It's why I laugh at the Russ Brandon stuff and how he was such a "genius" at marketing. Uh yeah, OK. Monopolies sell no matter what.

Agreed. He's elite and they have the best GM/HC combo in football so the system he plays in and the overall team talent and the personnel surrounding Luck have taken a huge leap forward.
