Nice interview. Basically Josh is an athletic freak .. who knew .. but given how much RAS was discussed in the draft thread I found this interesting. Josh Allen - freak; Tremaine Edwards - Freak; Greg R. - Freak; Spencer Brown - Freak. McBeane loves them some upside.

Here is a film breakdown of him.

Was 9th rated HS CB and has a famous father Warren G Hip Hop legend.

Perhaps Bills doctors would not sign off. Feel bad for the kid .. hope he doesn’t have long term problems https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/05/03/report-jeremiah-owusu-koramoah-heart-condition-led-to-draft-stock-falling/

Shaquille O’Neil TE LSU is the choice .. 7 ft and stocky

The hope would be that one taps the raw potential

I would like to like this twice .. it is soooooo correct

Go back to the 2018 draft grades (hint Arizona with Rosen and the Jests with Darnold) or for pure fun look at the 2018 TBD draft thread .. not linked to in order to protect the guilty. By three years .. we will know

Off called him the most athletic OL in the draft https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2021-nfl-draft-ol-superlativesbest-feet-most-versatile-best-pass-sets “This one was hotly contested this draft season. Illinois’ Kendrick Green (36-inch vertical and 9-foot-11 broad jump) as well as Texas’ Sam Cosmi (4.87-second 40, 36 bench reps, and 7.35-second three-cone) both had all-time pro-day figures in their own right. But it was Brown who put up arguably the single freakiest offensive line testing figure we’ve ever seen. He ran a 6.96 three-cone at 311 pounds. That’s the fastest ever recorded for an offensive lineman. To put that into perspective, Antonio Brown only ran a 6.98 three-cone coming out of Central Michigan. Spencer Brown is a pure project at this point, but you won’t find better project tools.”

That is not necessarily true .. did anybody on this board complain when Josh Allen was drafted ... oh wait.

Here is his draft network interview ..sorry if already posted ... It is long 22 minutes .. FYI

Calais Campbell is a fan "Ian Rapoport @RapSheet Apr 20 #Miami DE Greg Rousseau is one of the Draft's most challenging evals. One scout called him a “skinny little guy” on tape, but he showed up at his Pro Day 25 pounds heavier. Some wondered about the athleticism, but he’s much bigger now. Plus, he was an opt-out. Lots of questions. Calais Campbell @CalaisCampbell Replying to @RapSheet I wonder what the scouts were saying when I was coming out? Not athletic enough? Not strong enough? I am not a scout and I know they have a tough job. But I hope they don’t overthink this one. @Greg_R5 can play football. He is a playmaker! Shows up in both the run and pass game" https://caneswarning.com/2021/04/28/why-is-miami-hurricanes-de-greg-rousseau-plummeting-on-nfl-draft-big-boards/

Done

Mac Jones to NE on phone and happy

Actually he did ... "The reason Rodgers trade demands are coming out now is because he apparently gave the team an ultimatum. According to former ESPN anchor Trey Wingo, the Packers told Rodgers they would trade him this offseason and when they changed their mind, the QB became angry. At some point over the past week, Rodgers told the team that they would have to trade him because he had no plans to play for them ever again." https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/irate-aaron-rodgers-wants-packers-to-trade-him-to-one-of-these-three-teams-after-ugly-fallout-in-green-bay/ I hope this is a lesson to Josh .. take less money so you have a team around you. These guys complain, but they absorb all of the salary cap leaving the team to plug in with lesser players. TB is considered the GOAT because he won .. and a reason he won besides he is the GOAT (and he cheats a bit) is because he enabled the Pats to pay other players by not taking the full salary he could have garnered.

I like this quote from the PFF guy “A lot of guys come in with his profile,” Renner says. “Not a lot of guys have turned into Josh Allen.” It is great to have our very own unicorn.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-the-best-nfl-draft-picks-ever-peyton-manning-headlines-list-of-best-no-1-overall-picks-in-history/ it is amazing to think we had one of the all-time greats who started out rather rough .. but as the article states “In the 13 seasons from 1986 to 1998, Smith hit the double-digit sack mark a total of 12 times and the only reason he didn't make it a perfect 13 is because he missed 11 games in 1991 due to a knee injury. ” the season he was suspended he got 12 sacks in 12 games. Favorite Bruce story not mentioned in the article was a comment from an opposing quarterback who was lamenting how he hated playing Bruce as Bruce would eat raw Garlic before the game and if he sacked the qb he would lay on him and breath into the quarterbacks face mask .. that will make someone nervous

He has some upside .. signed for $2.133 million

I took some poetic license with the title, but that has got to be the absolute worst endorsement of a player ever. He really said, I can't guarantee any player will be alive on Sunday, but who says that other than certain criminal elements looking to score some greenbacks. If you find Jimmy G with cement shoes in the SF Bay .. you will know why .. great cap savings. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/26/kyle-shanahan-no-guarantee-jimmy-garoppolo-will-be-on-roster-after-draft/

It is pretty obvious at this point having been to the Championship game, but Sal interviewed Mike North who is in charge of NFL scheduling .. prepare for many late nights https://www.audacy.com/wgr550/sports/bills/bills-likely-to-get-plenty-of-national-tv-prime-time-games-in-2021?utm_campaign=sharebutton&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=WGRAM "National Football League Vice President of Broadcast Planning, Mike North joined me on the SalSports... and Stuff podcast to discuss the 2021 NFL schedule and made it clear that the Bills will be showcased a lot once again. “No question. No question,” North said. “Particularly when you look at your 17 games, you’ve got to think about some of those being, kind of stand out there. They’re just a little bit bigger than the other ones. The Kansas City [Chiefs] game, for instance, when Buffalo goes out to K.C., that cannot be a 1 o’clock in the afternoon game, in September, in 15% of the country. That game has to be on national television somewhere. When you play New Orleans [Saints]. When you play New England [Patriots], twice.”

Dean Kindig I believe used to be on this board and had tremendous insights. In particular he would provide day by day training camp feedback on the various players. He has put together a Bills draft projection which is very insightful. He has us taking a Center in the first round and no RB at all. The full article is here and worth a read. http://buffalofambase.com/2021/04/09/dean-kindigs-final-astronotes-by-position/

Doctors state that they expect he will be back for the season. Glad to hear it .. must have been tough on him. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/04/20/bills-expect-tommy-sweeney-back-after-developing-myocarditis-last-year/

I actually stumbled upon this interview with his college coach .. he basically likes Rosen as a person but his answers about how bad he wants it, how teachable he is are really surprising (and not in a positive coach cover for player way). Lack of humility, always "knowing" the right way .. definitely the blueprint for failure and with the 49ers drafting a QB it is not poor Rosen it is the 49ers looked and didn't like what they saw so they are getting a new young QB and maybe Rosen sticks as the third, but likely not. https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/jim-mora-jr-explains-why-49ers-qb-josh-rosen-has-not-lived-up-to-expectations The old narratives such as Allen is inaccurate, Lamar can only run, Darnold is prototypical QB, Rosen has all the skills die hard.

Here is an interview with Zach Moss discussing his first time meeting Josh .. bottom line is everyone seems to indicate he just acts like a regular dude...

@Buffalo716how dare you confuse the narrative of always tackling downfield with facts that contradict that ... next you are going to say that Josh Rosen wasn’t the most NFL ready QB in the 2018 draft .. let me just say our feelings don’t care about your facts
