Bob Chandler's Hands

I also sensed some unhappiness with Brady. McD nevers says his name but all the comments about 'too cute' and 'not physical enough' speak to the play calling.

You must be too young to remember Cornelius Bennett. He was elite. 5x pro bowler and 3x all pro.

He needed to get them to 2nd down and long or 3rd down to start calling Time outs. Once they got the first down after the first time out, stop calling them and make NE call theirs. If you happen to get a takeaway, great, you still have two timeouts. If there is a big negative play, great, then call a timeout. Otherwise make them go fast and use their timeouts.

James Cook seems to be working out.

Interesting to see how Rapp and Bishop switched sides of the field on this one. Also, how stupid and unnecessary Williams blindside block was.

They could have taken Deonte Walker or Jackson Hawes! I bet those guy would be contributing. Oh wait...

Yes, the "no trades with your rivals" thing is the amateur approach. Make the best deals you can where you can get them.

Well, in fairness, your point was internally inconsistent.

Maybe Hairston can play an NFL snap or two before we start thinking he is taking snaps away from the undisputed CB1 on the team.

Yup. Those are charities aligned with the NFL's interests, but still worthy on their own merits.

100% of player fines go to charity.

Yes, but AJ Ross's presence makes up for it IMO.

Do we care? He's not going to be dressing ahead of AJE, Groot, or Bosa for sure. The coaches clearly like Solomon more at this point with an extra year in the system compared to Jackson. Solomon was a healthy scratch often times last year. Hoecht will be coming back after week 6 at some point. I always thought this pick was to develop him for next year anyways when likely AJE and Bosa may both be gone. Jackson's sitting is just indicative of roster depth and the desire to develop talent for the future.

Good thing Miami sucks

When Duck needs a ride he gets it from a teammate. Waddle.

He also played at Marv Levy's alma mater.

Not to mention Dilfer is like 53 years old. 😉

Yes, but Hollins is making $4.2M per year and Gabe is almost certainly on an NFL minimum salary. These things matter when you've spent up to the cap and beyond.

Don't bother...he's just here to argue. Insufferable.

Addressing what is the question. We really have no idea. Bass was out there for the 3rd pre-season game. Maybe he just tweaked something yesterday? Myabe they are just doing due diligence on some kickers. It's not clear.

I think they are two evenly matched teams. A blow out either way seems highly unlikely in Buffalo. Agreed that Henry has been the X-factor in some games against his teams in recent years...except for the games where they shut him down pretty good. The only thing I can think of that increases the odds of a blow out either way is the increased variability week 1 brings with it being the first real game with changed rosters from last season on both sides. A loss and getting 'rolled' are two different things. I can easily see a loss. Getting handily beaten at home would be a big surprise, at least to me.

Bills were 10-0 at home last year including beating the Ravens and Chiefs. You think they're gonna 'get rolled'? Wow.

I'm sure they not only didn't require him to stretch, they STOPPED him from stretching. Man, those guys suck.
