Coach Tuesday

Name the last team with a RB on a big contract that won the Super Bowl?

Nobody is trading for Howard and his guarantee, unless the Bills throw in a pick for the privilege of unloading his salary. Something like Howard and a 6th for a 7th.

From yesterday’s Athletic (honestly, if you don’t have an Athletic subscription by now, your phone should be confiscated): https://theathletic.com/3524555/2022/08/20/bills-cody-ford-training-camp/?source=user_shared_article Ford admitted the attitude adjustment was necessary and overdue. He and Dawkins cited new offensive line coach Aaron Kromer has been a significant factor. Asked about the difference between Kromer and previous assistant Bobby Johnson, Ford responded with eight seconds of silence. The corners of his lips curled upward as he mulled his reply. “He’s doing a phenomenal job,” Ford said of Kromer. “I don’t know what that means, coming from me. But the way we’ve been coached and the techniques that we’ve learned is why I say there’s been so much improvement.”

Blackshear is a player.

Tasker just never stops babbling. He’s always talking and half of what he says is wrong, the other half is incomprehensible. He’s the guy you’d never invite over to watch the game - bad thing for an announcer to be.

Elam is not ready.

Special teams coaching may just be McD’s Achilles heel.

Edmunds thread trigger alert!

Are you one of those posters who thinks that raising concerns about the roster creates “bad juju” which somehow impacts the team’s on-field performance?

If you watched on Saturday you saw the difference between offense and defense in terms of depth and speed. It should not be too difficult of find guys like McKenzie and John Brown on the street, let alone a developmental TE and a change-of-pace RB who can catch passes out of the backfield. They simply cannot seem to do it on a consistent basis - Beasley was a win and Diggs was a major win but in terms of rounding out the offensive roster with speed and depth, there have been far too many misses.

Every year Beane hands out 1-2 of these head-scratchers. Guessing he’d justify it with “hard to get free agents to come to Buffalo” which personally I feel is overblown. They’ve got a bit of an issue identifying offensive skill players in their Pro Personnel dept.

The issue/key for Hodgins is whether he can achieve separation against quality NFL corners. His get-off was good last night - wouldn’t be surprised if they let him run against the first-string defenders over the next two games to see just how much he has improved.

Whose hands did that bounce off of?

Tasker may be drunk.

Keenum is horrible.

Tenuta has practice squad written all over him - he’s been awful today.

Kumerow is on a razor’s edge to make the final 53 and he just dug himself a huge hole.

There goes that theory…

I keep reading these reports and I’m not buying it (yet). The Pats are designed to operate a heavy formation against nickle defenses. They should be able to find a baseline amount of success with what they’re doing and I still expect them to compete most weeks. But I sure hope I’m wrong and the bottom falls out and Billy B calls it a career.

Will be shown live on NFLN.

Lol on the Shakir “touchdown” he was like two seconds late on his release from the LOS (and still burned Lewis).

Oh yeah? Well Laurie Lisowski piloted my commercial flight yesterday.

Is there somewhere you can bet on whether OBJ becomes a Bill before Patrick Kane becomes a Sabre, vice versa, or neither?
