Is the team joint practicing with another this year?

Just gonna say this one last thing and be done with it… I grew up around trash talkers myself and know the jokes. They actually had a comedy show back in the day called “Snaps” it was only “yo momma” jokes. The show was hilarious. When I clicked on this thread hoping to see the day’s training camp news, I came across MWK’s poor attack on one of our own and then the (rightful) barrage of criticism levied his way. I didn’t respond after reading the first “momma in the basement” comment, but felt compelled to say something after reading the second. There’s a difference between a joke (the “sensitive momma” clap back eball said to me) versus attacking a poster with a cut down that relies on bringing up their mother. One is clearly a joke, the other is a diss, and I felt referencing one’s mother in an ill intentioned cut down had no place here. As it turns out, MWK’s mother has passed, so it also should’ve served as a “foot in mouth” moment for eball (and for the other posters with their thumbs down and roll eye emojis). That’s my take on it.

I would imagine on some level sitting out would have to be extremely difficult for Cook. Even if the discourse is over money, the one thing injured players say is the toughest thing about being injured is watching your teammates move on without you. The NFL doesn’t wait until you’re healthy or contracts are settled. If you’re not on the field, someone else will be and they’ll be taking all of your reps. Has to eat at him, I’d guess his agent suggested the “hold in” if that’s what he’s doing.

This is what happens when we don’t have updates to read. The thread goes in its own direction. Also won’t find the classiest Bills fans on this message board as @Leftbower continues to remind me with his roll eye emojis.

@HappyDays you and your updates were desperately missed today 😅

Guess I’m sensitive to jokes involving one’s mother. Would rather do without them on this message board period, but you do you, I suppose.

It did when you went beyond belittling the poster. Just saying, you don’t know the guy’s mother or family background, keep the disses to him without the extra.

Did you not bring up the guy’s mother?

How did mothers get involved in this thread? Family attacks should be off limits.

Uh oh

Was someone blaming it on the training staff? None of these injuries are their fault, not even soft tissue ones like hamstring pulls and strains. The staff can only do so much, ultimately it’s on the player to increase flexibility throughout the year and not just in camp.

Believe you’re thinking of the normal sprain where the ankle bends outward. A high ankle operates the opposite direction, where the ankle bends inward, toward the other leg. Also believe I read that Shakir got rolled up on during a running play. Probably an offensive lineman rolled into his leg.

Is this info legit?

Parsons will never hit open free agency, so if a team wants to acquire him it’d have to be through trade.

I think it was under “sexy” Rexy that the team actually scrimmaged in these night practices, no?

I’d be against it too if Beane hit big on at least a few other blue chippers besides Allen. Rousseau is probably his 2nd best first round draft pick given position and production. Would you trade Rousseau, Edmunds, and Elam/Kincaid/or Oliver for Parsons? I know I sure would.

I remember Aaron Williams wore 23 as well. I’m trying to think of a corner with the number but I’ve got nothing.

Pretty sure Micah Hyde wore 23

They should’ve paid him a long time ago, now his cost is astronomical. He’s the 2nd best pass rusher in football, behind only Myles Garrett (and yes, ahead of TJ Watt).

Looked up Dean’s draft crush, Nyck Harbor. 6’5” 230 and runs a 4.2? If he actually is a first round prospect, there’s zero chance he makes it to #32.

Bosa had a pretty big day a couple days ago, beat reporters were raving it was his best practice. Epenesa, I heard he was manhandled by Jackson Hawes, to the point he tripped over a teammate who was already on the ground and the normally quiet and reserved AJ was fiery and pissed at Hawes. That’s all I’ve heard about him. Landon Jackson I’ve heard nothing, but Javon Solomon has supposedly taken a big step forward in year 2.

Bobby’s praise of Deone Walker was pretty effusive. I wonder if Walker has looked better than Sanders thus far.

The most unforgivable Hamlin play - to me - was that opening TD Derrick Henry took for 70 or whatever it was. He lacked anything on the play - instincts, positioning, athleticism, aggression - he was late to attack the hole Henry sprang through and failed to take a good angle to cut him off. The big run he gave up to Jonathan Taylor was pretty similar. If you’re going to be a marginal athlete, you have to know your angles. Rapp is a perfect example - he’s a worse athlete than Hamlin but often makes the stops a safety should.

The Chiefs rookie LT Simmons is on pace to be their opening day starter. The LT they just signed from the 49ers for $15M/yr may have to compete at LG to get on the field. Otherwise that’s a very expensive contract for a backup.

He was okay, but obviously not worth re-signing, nor was he worth a day 2 pick.
