I'm extremely optimistic about Allen, so I need the balance from the more doubtful few. We have about 6 weeks of this punching back and forth to read before anything new happens. Remember it's a marathon guys, don't go too hard too soon or you'll get winded. <watching while eating popcorn with great delight pic>

They added 3 guys to the 2 they kept at the position, there's a reason teams are wondering if Shady is available. Yeldon isn't the one that would be beating out McCoy IMV, it would be the rookie. Like I said we know who the rest of the guys are (Yeldon, Gore, McCoy). Shady could have a great year, I'm open to that. I could also see him back in the green uniform if the rookie shows he's ready this summer.

The $6,175,000 is more than cap space, it's actual money. This summer we find out if Gore, Singletary, Yeldon/Murphy + $6.175 Million cash, and a potential draft pick as compensation is better than keeping him. Devin Singletary is the key IMO, we know who the rest of the players are. Is he ready to take the job by the end of summer? McCoy's that is. This preseason will be the Singletary show at RB, and that's what I want to see the most. I'm fine either way, that's just how I see it. Just end up with the best guys and let's go. I also don't think we get more than a day 3 pick for McCoy or he would already be gone.

I think Mike Love could be an impact this year.

Love the thread, but I think this will take some videos and pics to make it great. Got any examples we can check out? It's about match-ups week to week and play to play. I think a player needs to develop all the moves he can handle. You have to study your opponent and see what works against them, but then you have to execute the different tech's. Does an extra stutter step tie them up, or do they get picks when guys try? There's such variety of experience, size, and speed you'll face week to week.

I don't know the relationship McDermott and Norman have, but I know Josh is an emotional guy so there could be a desire to be with Sean. He was pissed to leave Carolina, but I don't know who he blames besides Gettleman...he might hate everyone that was involved. I guess if he comes with the right attitude and price for this front office, then I'm good. This is the defense that made him a star, and they know him better than any of us.

Just listened to Bill Polian talk about Jake Fisher on Sirius replay this morning (from last night). He talked about the Bills plan to run the ball and not be a spread team that tries to throw all the time. He said the Bills have not had a TE that could set the edge and help in the run game, but they do now. He was pretty high on Fisher being a part of the offense this year. Along with Jake adding to the run game, he said Cody Ford will be a road grader and Devin Singletary is explosive. I'm all about running the ball to crush their will, then pop em with play action when they start to cheat up. Josh Allen will play much better with a dominant running game and a shut down defense around him.

My goodness he's fun to watch. I watched a slow motion film session of him (sound off so no clue what's said) and it's just crazy. I can't wait to see how he plays against NFL talent. This preseason should be all about him with the older fellas that share his position. What a great pick with Shady still here along with adding Frank Gore, what a way to learn to be a professional RB. He can really make a 1st guy miss at an elite level, but he seems to just do everything from blocking to running a few nice routes and catching the ball. He sets up his blocks well and uses different gears to win in the open field. I see Shady, but also a little bit of Darren Sproles toughness and movement in traffic.

There are real football guys running the team now. I'm all in with Beane and McDermott.

Could the Raiders trade up for Bosa, letting the Cardinals off the hook from taking Murray 1? They have the ammo. Mayock loves his brother, calls him the prototype in this video. Could he start his GM career off a better way? http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-combine/0ap3000000919253/Mike-Mayock-compares-NC-State-DL-Bradley-Chubb-to-Joey-Bosa
