thanks very insightful Tre is a humble kid and the fact that he spoke very favorably and candidly about his position coach and db mates was very positive HS class valedictorian and graduated from LSU in 3.5 years as a student athlete speaks to his intelligence, focus and determination

Would YOU pay for a ‘Bills Network’?
First Round Bust replied to TheyCallMeAndy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
no 1. I am a cheap bastard and I dont see value 2. no live games provided - watching replays is redundant to NFL Network and the rest of the talk stuff can be found elsewhere already, so you adding to a crowded space. 3. PSE would likely produce and or control content and that would be a big negative based on recent-past history... -
CFL Players Can Opt Out Monday and be FA
First Round Bust replied to Mike in Horseheads's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
timing not favorable for the minority of CFL players who would get an NFL look; would they qualify for practice squad eligibility ? as they would need the practices and time to learn playbook, better more advanced positional coaching, increased speed of the game, etc -
“Become the best version of themselves...”
First Round Bust replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
culture - its a mindset based on attitude and bahavior back in the day when HoF coach Joe Gibbs had the Washington football team formerly known as the Redskins on run deep into playoffs and Super Bowls for several years, he would personally award Sony walkmans to the top players of the week and the players extra-excited to get them, they could buy them of course and or had them already, but getting them from coach in front of the entire team was the key. Extra point: After a road game played late season Saturday in NE, Coach Gibbs on the way home from the airport took two game balls signed by the entire to a retired lon-time high school coach who was intensive care at a hospital and coach spent 10 mins with around mid-nite with him...all coach asked for was for access and 10 mins...cleared by hospital admin and coach asked to keep this private. -

8-18-20 Any Training camp news?
First Round Bust replied to Don Otreply's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
good analysis, but I still want-hope to see some circle or wheel routes from the RBs Burkhhead is but 5-10 and 214 lbs - so not the FB - but I do like this stat line (which is why I am a tad anal on the topic) In 13 games last season, Burkhead rushed for 302 yards and three touchdowns and also caught 27 passes for 279 yards...point being a slow-guy like him is able to avg 10 YPC and Yeldon only 4 YPC...call me confused... New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead reworked the final year of his contract. Burkhead's base compensation drops from $3 million to $2 million, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported. The restructuring includes a $550,000 signing bonus, $1.05 million in base salary and $400,000 in per-game roster bonuses. ESPN first reported the new deal. Pelissero noted that the guaranteed portion -- the $550,000 signing bonus -- is the same amount of guarantee that Cam Newton got from the Patriots on his incentive-laden one-year pact. Burkhead signed a three-year, $9.75 million contract with the Patriots in 2018. A versatile weapon, the 30-year-old has not played a full slate of games in three seasons with the Pats due to injury. -

First Round Bust replied to Don Otreply's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
one thing I am focusing on is the pass-catching ability of the Bills RBs, esp Moss, this is an under-utilized aspect of the offense that I would like to see increase in as it helps diversify and further complicate the defensive gameplaning and in=game assignments; Pats are able to do this to including Rex Burkhead who catches 25-30 passes as a freaking useless FB a la our very own P Dimarco, Burkhead has burned us as well... -
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duane_Thomas total head case, Super Bowl MVP (not), but there are some good quotes he made, seems the Cowboys brought him back x 3, plus the trade to NE is bizarre and involves a player who would later become a Bill.. .saw something on NFL films years ago where he would not talk to team-mates during practice or film sessions to the point where they would call him out...contract-related behavior

ahem, I stand corrected...I refer to them, the local team[of which I am not a fan] as the Washington football team formerly known as the Redskins...I think this is politically correct as well as factual (alternative fact maybe)...flame on beotches

from the personal memory bank attendance was 80.020(for sellouts at Rich Stadium) and Buffalo Evening News often posted that in the box score of Bills games several of those who went to the game got stuck in traffic and missed it and some parked on sides of road and walked a construction worker who erected the first goal-posts kicked the first ever FG at the new stadium an 11 yarder Herb Mul-key of the then Redskins took the opening kick-off for a 102 yard touchdown Bills lost https://buffalonews.com/news/this-day-in-buffalo-sports-history-aug-17-1973-traffic-was-awful-for-bills-first/article_100d5df2-9aa3-5bdc-b93d-22126b217584.html Duane Thomas mercurial-tempermental RB for the 'skins (cowbows prior) had to held-baclk from going over the wall to get at fans who were heckling or whatever, some girls reported in the paper the next day that they were scared that he was going after them. 47 years later, same stadium and a lot of memories, including rock concerts, all-day events with multiple acts...called them summer-fest or super-fest.

Heath Farwell interview 8/16
First Round Bust replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I see ST progress as a decrease in penalties we take (example LorAx had 2 on back-to-back plays last season) as well making a big play and preventing ...good ole Pats blocked 4 punts out of 9 total in the NFL last season and one of course was against us, which was a difference maker in a close home game loss. Investment in Tyler M (MLB) 3.4 M and Taiwan J (RB) 1.6M as well as Andre R (WR) 2M is over 7M which is shows they value ST skills....any position play from them is a bonus, -
Great News on the COVID testing front
First Round Bust replied to SCBills's topic in Off the Wall Archives
think how much better society will be in 2021 with test improvements, first draft of the vaccine and more awareness-preventative measures being taken, just gotta limp thru 2020...simply cant be any worse... -
Why Not Beane as President & GM of the Bills?
First Round Bust replied to LB48's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
its not a bad idea, but does Beano have the interest and the background to run the entire football business; its not the model the Pegulas embrace given past experiences and this summers purge of the Sabres ? Would it detract from Beano scouting and player review-evaluations-decisions ? I dont see it happening but I do hope for a 5 year GM extension soon -
dare he is, dat man right dare, my friend da juice...I know every playahs numbah and where day went to collidge...

A sneak peak photo from training camp
First Round Bust replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
ya know they could make a lot of money selling jersies and shirts worn in practice not just games I would think..I know I would be in for some -
IIRC the NFL provided the Pegulas with a short list of coaches to consider and Sean McD was on it; McD no doubt recommended Beano and we got...lucky I play baseball with a guy who was a high-school classmate of McD from PA and calls McD turbo-intense in high-school and a practical joker (sophisticated sense of humor). My personal seal of approval is based on the fact that he wrestled at a high-level in the state of PA (I ref wrestling for sereral years) and that he went to William and Mary (brainiacs die to get in there) and played ball at the same time is a significant achievement (time managment).

Josh Norman Giving High Praise to the Bills

being compared to last year's Deadskins is not an achievement but while being owned by the Pegulas is
