Ethan in Cleveland

Not at the expense of a quality DL or OL guy. Third team QB's and fringe ST guys don't matter in a SB window.

He plays a lot of snaps on special teams. I would not say he is an all-star. I still don't think he brings enough on defense but I don't think he has much trade valuae either. Might be best to keep him and go full on youth movement on DL and let Addison go. Kind of depends on if Basham is good enough to be a 5th DE and and parttime DT.

LOL. I am so immersed in COVID with my job that I didn't even realize the season started two weeks from now. This last month has been a nightmare and one giant blur as will be the next 4 weeks

It's preseason so I'm withholding any comments on Edmunds play today. I'm going into next week with a fresh set of eyes.

Dying and infecting others is a bad look. Every day more and more employers are mandating vaccination. That said, the NFL and NFLPA should be proud the players vaccination rate is so high. For the age and racial demographic their vaccination rate is over 2X the general public. That is too be celebrated.

As a position group, TE is still the biggest question mark. DT is probably second but if Star plays well they will be fine. Depth is a challenge agreed but the starters are solid.. Oliver is primed for a breakout year prior to making a decision to pick up his option. Agree the LB unit depth is good and better than it has been in years. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but Edmunds is the single biggest question mark on the team when you consider how critical his position is. You can work around a substandard TE. You can't do that at MLB

Kapernick wasn't even the only guy on his team to kneel. It partially blew up because he sat on the bench during the anthem which was felt to be very disrespectful and not a protest. Then he reached out to some military vets who advised him kneeling in protest was more respectful than sitting on the bench.

People forget there is no SB win by Brady against the Rams without a come from behind come off the bench victory by Bledsoe on the road at Pittsburgh His coach was Greg Williams. Bledsoe was right he did know more than Greggo did.

I wouldn't do it. My feelings on preseason are well documented. Makes no sense to risk injury in a meaningless game. They already know 48 or the 53 and honestly guy 49 to 59 are all interchangeable anyway. College plays no preseason games and the product on the field is fine from day one. Yes lots of college teams play patsies week 1 but many do not. These guys are professionals playing in the same offense and defense for the last three years. No need to play anyone but the scrubs.

Agreed. If they are not in your PS plans may as well let them walk now

Good job With Phillips injury he goes to IR for sure which allows Zimmer to stay on the roster. Obada should make it over Johnson though I am not certain McD will see it that way. Where does the legend of Tommy Sweeney come from? He can't block and he has no speed. I would prefer they go with Knox, Hollister, Gilliam, and and keep an extra OT. Doyle is just going to be cut - he is terrible I'm not sure Breida or Jones should make this roster. I don't think either are any good. That said I would keep Breida and let Jones go. Letting Jones go let's them keep 7 WR with Stevenson the 7th guy. I don't have a good feel for who the back-up safeties will be. As for ST's the only guy I would keep is Matakevich. For the other core guys, there is a better player on the roster worth keeping. Obada is better than Johnson, Brieda and Williams are both better than Jones, and I would rather keep Kumerow and Stevenson. Kumerow, Breida, Stevenson, Sweeney, and a new DB or LB can be the core ST's guys.

It's time to move on from Phillips. He is not big enough to play the1 tech and not athletic enough to play the #3. Next yest the first two picks need to be C and NT.

We are in win now mode. Give Beane credit for upgrading the back-up QB position. Now jettison Fromm and take advantage of the open roster spot. And let's all hope he gets 25 snaps all year in blowouts. Bes case scenario is someone signs him to a contract next year and they get a comp pick out of it.

McD started Peterman ahead of Josh

Doyle should injure himself because there is no way he makes the final 53. That's the only way he makes the team.

I've been beating the pass rush drum for years. They went with old slow veterans last year and it didn't work. Now they are going with a nice mix of experience and youth. People easily forget Addison led the DL with 5 sacks though it was Hughes that got more consistent pressure. Youth will cost them some missed containment yards or some screens given up due to the inexperience. But they will make up for it with more speed on the filed and a few strip sacks during the year.

No way they should carry 3 QBs this year. Use that spot for an extra linemen.

Maybe. I could care less about special teams. But I'd be fine if they kept Johsnon and cut Butler.

Agree. Addison, Hughes, Epenesa, Basham, Obada, Rousseau, Star, Oliver, Butler, and probably Zimmer. Johnson is the odd man out at DE and Phillips may be on IR or cut. Basham is your swing DE/DT.

No reason to trade Addison. The veteran presence will be helpful for the kids this year.

Wait until Allen gets hit like that and we will see this board go nuts

There is no visitors section in any stadium. Buy the best seats you can afford. Get club level if you can. Most people in cheap seats are fine too. If you don't act like a drunken ass or instigate anything you will be fine wherever you sit.

Stub hub

I wonder if the average fan is more or less likely to live in WNY anymore? I moved away in 1988. I see more road games in person than I do home games.

I voted no not because I think the offense can't do it but because the defense is too good. High scoring games often are because both teams are scoring. Our defense is good enough to hold the opponents in check. That means a lot of fourth quarter leads, running the ball killing the clock late in the game, and playing the backups.
