The problem is that the OP is asking a question none of us can actually answer, unless Cuomo is on the board under some pseudonym (My guess would be Weo). IWe can throw out meaningless opinions, but a lot depends on factors we cannot even come close to predicting.

Parrino reported that Jacob Hollister hurt his back and is day to day

https://www.buffalobills.com/video/a-new-season-a-new-team Bills video from Day 1 of Training Camp ..

He goes into more details on the practice and at the 15 minute mark he talks a lot about Rousseau .. stated that he looks the part, had great reps against Darryl Williams, and in general popped. They later discuss CB2 competition

Matt Parrino's top 8 observations from Day 1 of Training Camp https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2021/07/bills-training-camp-2021-cole-beasley-takes-center-stage-8-observations-from-day-1.html He does a good job providing some insights that we do not get to see e.g., "Rousseau continued to flash the quickness that impressed McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier at his first camp practice. During some red zone work Rousseau was able to beat his block against Daryl Williams and force pressure into the face of Josh Allen."

They asked him to actually run and try to catch the ball .. this was unacceptable to Kelvin. “I move at my own pace as I do not want to overly exert myself” said Benjamin. He also stated that he was contemplating a switch to speed walking but when informed how fast they moved he changed his mind

He did state that just over 80% of players have at least had the first jab including some that started yesterday and HaplessBillsFans is correct .. he clarified that he was not indicating that Dawkins and Boetgger were or were not vaccinated.

Yeah ,,.. I misread and have since made the correction .. thanks!

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/07/28/dion-dawkins-ike-boettger-placed-on-covid-19-list/ - Both were vaccinated .. so please no covid vaccine talk. They will be able to return to practice after two negative tests. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/07/28/jerry-hughes-headed-to-nfi-list-with-calf-strain/ Hopefully everyone back soon ...

It was actually 1 yr 2.5 million per sport trac .. so not a lot of people pushing for his services it appears https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/steven-nelson-16824/

The actual deal was only 1 yr 2.5 million https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/steven-nelson-16824/ not a lot considering the talent .. Bills must feel good with who they have

Talks about his leadership, how he helped Wyoming players believe in themselves, how the people that were with him knew the accuracy issues were overblown, and how the collarbone injury impacted Josh in a positive way. Starts at 38:45 It goes for 11 minutes on Josh and then he talks about IMG Academy where he coaches the rest of the way. Some will find it a waste of time .. I enjoyed hearing the perspective of someone who knew Josh when as he states "Josh was just Josh, not Josh Allen superstar QB"

He has proven to be a very team first player up until this point. Played on a bum leg throughout the playoffs, great chemistry with the team in general. He is not an anti-vaxxer as portrayed he is just concerned about this particular vaccine. It would be a big hit to lose him.

Have you seen his family .. you can question him about his lack of self control with tweets and many will question his passion against the vaccine .. but please not everything is about race

I remember hearing a quarterback from another team back in the day complaining about how hard it was to play against Bruce, but he said what was worse was Bruce would eat raw garlic before the game and if he got to the quarterback he would lay on him an extra few seconds and just breathe his garlic breath into the quarterback's facemask. The guy was more worried about that then actually getting hit. I can't source it as it was 20+ years ago .. but I always thought that it made Bruce Smith a psychological warfare expert

They started officially counting sacks as a statistic in the 80s so there was always a question as to whether someone from the 60s or 70s may have had more. Researchers from Pro Football Reference went through all old game film and while there are some new names near the top e.g. Deacon Jones .. Bruce’s 200 is still tops https://billswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/15/bruce-smith-unofficial-sack-leaders-buffalo-bills/ he was a sight to see

https://www.nfl.com/news/state-of-the-2021-buffalo-bills-josh-allen-s-team-ready-to-take-next-step Good read with a few interesting points including: 1) JA will have record for the most rushing TDs by a QB in the first 4 years if he gets 8 this year 2) The Deep ball: The Bills had four different players with at least five deep receptions in 2020: Cole Beasley, Gabriel Davis, John Brown (who signed with the Raiders this offseason) and Stefon Diggs. The Bucs were the only other team with four such players. 3) MAFIA - Most Amazing Fans In America 4) His summary: It's here, Buffalo. A lot of times, I caution fan bases to temper their expectations (... which I rarely do when it comes to my own team). But for Bills fans, I say GO WILD. It's like when my 2-year-old boy gets on the arm of the couch and is about to do a frog splash or coffin drop onto his sister. I know I should tell him not to do it. But sometimes you just have to let them have their fun.

I would argue that most of our key players are ascending in their careers, not on the downside, so staying pat does bring along with it some room for improvement versus our competitors. New England never fell into the trap of paying top dollar for that one guy who would come in and save the day - and they ended up with a dynasty. I would also argue that home field would have helped tremendously and we did not have it last year, but it is certainly possible that we get to that point this year. Finally I would argue that the key to winning a Super Bowl is to be in the playoffs .. the more times you are in the better your chances that you will break through on one. Managing your cap puts you in position to not be one and done, but to be in the playoffs year after year .. which leads to chances to go the whole way.

The man brings in Josh Allen .. string players on both sides of the board and the Bills are considered a quality pick to win it all, but this next signing will be how he is judged??? No offense but the next signings are likely to be nice pieces and nothing more.

Deal is 4 years 4.8 million https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/spencer-brown-72474/ To all those asking .. the 25 percent rule is why a good portion of 3rd round picks were unsigned. I don't personally understand it or have the time to research it, but .. her is a link that helps. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1248192-why-are-there-so-many-3rd-round-nfl-draft-picks-that-are-still-unsigned

Josh Allen might reply, "I think Ramsey is trash I don't care what nobody say. He's trash. And it's going to show too. That's a stupid contract extension to me. We played them last year, and I was excited as hell. I am glad he's their starting cornerback."

There are many ways to approach that, on of which would be to look for common themes (a system could do this) and then float the most likely to the top of the queue for somebody internal to the team to review.

I wonder if this was picked up by the Bills, it appears that it is incredibly accurate and has been going on for years. "As pointed out by @theoashnfl on TikTok and explained by Joe Hoefling of Deadspin.com, Roethlisberger has a very basic yet very clear pre-snap tell, which gives away whether the next play will be a run or a pass." https://sports.yahoo.com/ben-roethlisberger-pre-snap-run-125226645.html You would think if it was well known they would have done poorly offensively (e.g., line knows to rush the passer / attack the RB, safeties and LBers can focus on coverage or run support). If I was a GM I would crowd source film review .. get the fans involved to look for these things on my team as well as the opponents.

https://www.profootballrumors.com/2021/07/the-longest-tenured-head-coaches-in-the-nfl No coach hired after January 15, 2014 till McDermott was hired in January 2017 is still employed. I would not be surprised if he were at number 7 next year as Zimmer needs to produce. It is nice to not have turmoil in the front office and it lends itself to a sustained run.
