But we had speedy Isaiah McKenzie and super-speedy Nyheim Hines last season, and somehow couldn't figure out how to use them effectively very much Joe Buscaglia breaks the tie: he heard it the same way as Parrino on Spector, both different from Capaccio: Spector will practice

don't know yet whether the practice is open or not. Last practice before Bills travel to Pittsburgh for game on Saturday Good news on Gabe Davis if he's actually better. Disagreement on Baylon Spector. Parrino says he's back, Capaccio says "will not practice" It's official. Even McDermott thinks it's a problem: If that's so, then why did his first 2 teams dump him, the first after he couldn't get on the field for a season and a half? Is he just a practices like Tarzan, plays on Sunday like Jane type of guy?

Anything is possible, but Beasley will have to get his leg injury healed up and get back on the field and make the team first. Missed the last 2 days practice (see above)

Dude, preseason depth charts are one step up from astrology. Even regular season depth charts need to be taken with a salt shaker. The Bills acknowledge that there are a bunch of active battles, including for RG. This version of a preseason depth chart doesn't

That has got to be some kind of a joke account y'all are falling for Makes zero sense But goes well with this

Well, I could be wrong, it's not like I've made an in-depth study of Beasley's rap music. But I did listen to a couple of his 17 weeks podcasts and a song called "adrenaline junkie". And from that I gathered that playing pro football is a helluva rush for guys who have the mindset for it. It's not just "attention", it's the adrenaline rush from being out there pushing to your physical limits and hitting and being hit. You don't get that from being at practice or being on the practice squad. He could get the "push to your physical limits" from training for an Iron Man or something like that, but the physical contact is part of the rush. Allen just recently said himself that he "likes to get hit sometimes, it makes him feel alive".

We don't? During the whole controversy he was at pains to tell everyone his family was completely set for life and that it was not about money. Truth. And I think Beasley is probably past his expiration date. My point was that I think he is motivated to join the Giants from desire to get back out on the field every Sunday and experience playing professional NFL football again. Sitting on the practice squad won't do that for him. By the way, he's out of Giants practice right now with a leg injury. Missed his 2nd practice.

It's not just the "hooper" thing vs. speed. McKenzie, by the time he had left here, had developed some moves to release and fake his defender, in addition to the speed to run away from them and get open. What Beasley had that really set him apart, in addition to the ability to beat that man, was the ability to dissect the defense - to watch film and understand how that team's zone defense concepts worked and how to adjust during the play to what the defense was showing him - then, how to get on the same page with Allen, both while watching film during the week, then by using his body language to show Allen what he was going to do post-snap. For whatever reason, McKenzie never developed that communication and trust with Allen against zone. Now Allen has praised Isabella's "good body language", which I never heard him say about McKenzie. But that's the unknown.

So I don't know what to make of this. TBN article by Katharine Fitzgerald on Dodson. I have been told that meditation is quite common among NFL players now a days. Later in the article, Dodson says he started because Poyer suggested it to him. Now here's where I don't know. On the one hand, if you got a player who is getting the attention of the LB coach, the HC, and the director of player personnel, he's obviously a player they value and want to put time into helping. Same with director of player engagement and head athletic trainer going over to him. On the other hand, just from experience in other avenues than football, when someone is getting so much attention from (by analogy) his manager and his 2nd level manager and others, it's usually not a sign that "all is well on these fronts", it's usually a sign that the employee is known to be struggling in some way, and there is concern either for his mental health, or his OTJP, or both. You're asking the very same question I asked for myself. My reaction was "WTF are they grading?"

Really? We gotta do this? 2019 season 2020 season 2021 season 2022 season You said "So this is his 4th year in nfl though its his 3rd team" The 2023 sesaon is his 5th year in the NFL

Lil' Dirty still stirring the sh** for the Bills:

That's a really good question. I've been poking around trying to figure that out. https://www.revengeofthebirds.com/2020/1/6/21051768/the-curious-case-of-andy-isabella 5th year.

So I went looking for anything on Andy Isabella with the Ravens. He was released before their training camp opened. Usually teams do that if the guy is a problem, or just isn't cutting it because there's a lot of room on that 90 man roster. But, that doesn't seem to be the case I like the Ravens fan bulletin board "Russell Street Report", so that was my first stop after google turned up nothing for me. Minicamp Day 1: Minicamp Day 2: I guess it could be a courtesy kind of thing, they don't see him making the team so they cut him before training camp to give him a chance elsewhere. But the Ravens have twelve (12) WR on their roster right now, so clearly they liked those 12 guys better than Isabella. Question is: why, when he was apparently separating and making catches?

OK! I mean, if the issue is your OL starters are in the training room or out, what exactly is the coach pitching an f-bomb laden fit gonna accomplish, exactly? The starters will either come back and "gel" and get better, or .... Oh, and if that wasn't enough, apparently a player altercation took out the Jets DB coach: Back to the OL: I'm sure Salah will watch the film, and then send the O-line a Strongly Worded Letter.

How about this speech? https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/38199955/hard-knocks-2023-week-2-episode-recap-saleh-rodgers

I have not heard this term before. What is a "sugar huddle"? You can pretty much set your watch by him, cantcha? It's like the Law of Gravity or something

Little clarification that is from yesterday, Gabe did not practice today You may know this but because it's today's practice thread seemed worth noting

LOL I thought about pointing out it was "general soreness" which doesn't sound too serious, but then I figured I'd do a little 🎣 That's fair. But the report of helmet swinging - excuse me, "tossing to teammate" - then having to be restrained by his LB coach Bobby Babich - then next day having McDermott come over to talk to him - doesn't quite sound like your standard "stuff happens, they're not choir boys, no big deal" either.

Vote early, Vote often!

Big Ed after practice Tyler Rapp after practice

It is possible that Shorter will suffer that severe case of hangnail or halitosis or whatever it is that appears to afflict so many late-round draft picks who have high physical potential, but need seasoning. All around the league at the start of the season It has to be channeled and controlled, is the thing

Would be fair return for Zay Jones finally showing something in HIS 5th.....3 years after the Bills gave up and moved on

pretty sure you want your MLB to be physical and relentless from the snap to the whistle, but then focus on the next play
