I’m with you on not giving up a first round pick. Next draft will be loaded with WR’s in the first and we need one. Having said that, I’m on board with what some of the vet posters here are saying - mid round pick and player(s). Another aspect to think about is Brady. We HAVE to invest heavily in our D as there is no way we will match NE’s offense until he retires or falls off the cliff. That could be another 2-3 years.

Yeah -some aren’t big guy.

Out kicker stinks!!! You need to make the 48 yarder. Him and Murphy need to sit.

And Singletary can catch!! Barkley dropped it in the bucket to him. Not an easy catch. Holy cow am I getting pumped for this team.

Barkley is looking awesome!!!

Buffalo (the city)has a big time QB recruit
Bockeye replied to Buffalo716's topic in College Football
Live in the DMV. Crazy talent. Gonzaga College High School has THE premiere QB (and probably one of the best teams in the country) Look up the tape on their win against Dematha HS last year - an epic game(I was there). Alabama and Clemson both came knocking on Caleb’s door last year after the win.....and he was a sophomore (he’s the Zaga QB). If I’m reading it right, Christian is headed to Dematha? -
Niagara Crossing in Lewiston is your best bet. Theres nothing up up there unfortunately. Agree with the stay in Canada if you can. Having said that, Niagara Crossing is decent and Lewiston has some decent bars and restraunts, and not too far from NF. Yes - not a house, but a hotel. When I loooked for houses, they weren’t too good. Spent 3 summers up there for a week long sports camp (the kid, not me, but we had to travel in as we don’t live in Buff any more). To give you perspective, my usual haunt while traveling is Westin hotels. None in Niagara Falls.

You guys are a bunch of millennials. Seriously - to let a clever post like this to wallow when he’s trying to bop his way back to Coney Island. Warriors....come out to play! -

Maybe it’s time for a poll: drugs gambling woman randomn Crazy fans on a binger -
I think this is an extremely important distinction that he was 2nd in BOTH. BOTH tremendously effect his completion %. Agreed on Year 2! You're correct - see the post above from Youboty, there's a ton of blame on the protection as well. There's definitely some on Josh and he needs to improve, but with better catch rate and protection, we will get to see if and how much he improves.

Great points! Posted the link to this article in the Singletary draft thread, but to your Myth #2 Alpha Another thing to consider when weighing the importance of the 40-Yard Dash for running backs is the rarity of game opportunities when a player can run 40 yards in a relatively straight direction. When we narrow the definition of "big plays" to touchdown runs of 50+ yards, looking at the all-time records for this parameter, we see some surprising numbers that expose how uncommon it really is. Here are the NFL running backs with the most career touchdown runs over 50 yards (based on stats through 2016). Barry Sanders – 15, averaged one 50-plus-yard TD every 204 carries. Adrian Peterson – 14, averaged one 50-plus-yard TD every 172 carries Jim Brown – 12, averaged one 50-plus-yard TD every 197 carries Chris Johnson (the fastest athlete in the history of the NFL Combine) – 12, averaged one 50-plus-yard TD run for every 178 carries https://www.stack.com/a/why-the-40-yard-dash-is-overrated-as-a-test-for-running-backs

RD 3, Pick 74: RB Devin Singletary, Florida Atlantic
Bockeye replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe this will cheer up all the "he's too slow" pundits. Smile and enjoy the process guys, he may turn out to be a good one. https://www.stack.com/a/why-the-40-yard-dash-is-overrated-as-a-test-for-running-backs As we take a look back at the running back performances from the 2016 season, one thing that stands out is that 3 of the top 4 and 8 of the top 12 "big play" RBs (defined as breaking runs of 10+ yards) ran 40-Yard Dash times of 4.57 or slower. Elliott – 4.47 (NFL Combine), 48 big plays on 322 carries Howard – 4.59 (hand-timed at Pro Day), 43 big plays on 252 carries Ajayi – 4.57 (NFL Combine), 39 big plays on 260 carries Bell – 4.60 (NFL Combine), 37 big plays on 261 carries McCoy 4.50 (hand-timed at Pro Day), 34 big plays on 234 carries D. Johnson - 4.50 (NFL Combine), 34 big plays on 293 carries D. Murray – 4.43 (NFL Combine), 32 big plays on 293 carries Freeman – 4.58 (NFL Combine), 30 big plays on 227 carries Blount – 4.74 (NFL Combine), 29 big plays on 299 carries Hyde – 4.66 (NFL Combine), 26 big plays on 217 carries Crowell – 4.57 (NFL Combine), 26 big plays on 198 carries Ingram – 4.66 (NFL Combine), 25 big plays on 205 carries -

You're all good Billy... I takes on average about 300 milliseconds to blink. The eyelid travels maybe a couple of centimeters each way. We blink in about 1/10th of a second. The eyelid moves a little more than a centimeter down, then the same distance back up again - so the speed is around 20cm/sec - which is only about a half a mile per hour. -
Buffalo Bills Confirmed UDFA Signing. (2 Left)
Bockeye replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think we are a very attractive UDFA option #1 because we are still building and #2 McBeane has said AND shown that every position on the roster is earned. They can point to multiple success stories. Any thougts? -
Buffalo Bills Confirmed UDFA Signing. (2 Left)

Love the Sills pick up!! Could be one of the UDFA steals of the draft. 6’ 3” 4.57 40 211 lbs -
Posted this in another thread but probably belongs here. Hmmmm....maybe the front office knows more than all you hand wringers. https://thedraftnetwork.com/articles/the-2020-wr-class-could-truly-be-historic Oh yeah, there’s this too. Some STUD FA WR’s next year. I’d take every single one over any that were taken in this draft. https://clutchpoints.com/top-10-nfl-free-agents-2020-class/

RD 6, Pick 181: S Jaquan Johnson, University of Miami

Weak take. Taron Johnson had a 4.7 40 time and we all saw how poorly he did as a ROOKIE. -
RD 3, Pick 74: RB Devin Singletary, Florida Atlantic
Bockeye replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The mystery of Singletary’s size continues. Can someone get a tape on him! https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2019-nfl-draft-florida-atlantics-devin-singletary-is-the-premier-sleeper-running-back-prospect/ Listed at 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds, Singletary has a very compact frame and won't be seen as undersized by most teams. Eclipsing the 190-pound threshold is important for NFL backs. There are a few exceptions to the rule -- like Darren Sproles and Tarik Cohen-- but you'll be hard pressed to find successful NFL running backs who weighed under 190 pounds when they entered the league.
