Just get the freaking McCourty's off my screen

Another example of the D throwing different things like they have all camp - here rushing 3 and dropping Settle into coverage

We are going up to Buffalo for a wedding later this month and last week my wife went ahead and bought tix for the Pitts pre-season game on the way up. When she saw comment about Allen playing in a preseason game today she excitedly said if Allen is playing one game that will probably be it.

I would think it just means he will be taking the kicks on Sat - then they may rotate others for the other games

Sports Illustrated had a feature article on Sauce not too long ago - have to admit seems like a decent guy and hard guy to hate - can still hate the Jets and Saleh tho 😛

Yeah kinda crazy for a reporter to report an int but not who actually got the int. From other reports think it was Neal

I've said on here before the four practices I saw I didn't see Morris miss a catch

I find Saleh to be a blowhard meat head - first ep doesn't change that for me

- What's the over on the number of times I need to see Hackett grab Rodger's a$$ - So much playing to the camera - and nice of Hard Knocks to make Hard Knocks such a big part of the story - This is not making Saleh any more likeable to me

The houses directly across fill up closer to 8:30 - there are houses in the neighborhood behind that might have room after

Need to bring in Parker Schnabel

Morris was consistently good the practices I saw - and I think they love him. I could even see him taking Gilliam's hybrid role. I think Barkley is a lock for the PS - he had offers to sign with other teams last year which woud have started with vet min 1.2M but chose to stay with the Bills on the PS for a vet max 358,200. I think Beane signs another backup to replace K Allen if he continues to play in preseason like he has in camp. Also agree Murray is a guy you put on PS as insurance for Harris. It's nice to be in the position as SB contenders and good culture that vets will stay for less.

WFT was still the best - should have just kept that

A new backup QB would ideally be someone who brings something to the QB room as well

The days I went last week one thing you couldn't say was that Elam was not competing - dude was working out there

I also thought he would be a better option coming into the season but all the practices I was at last week he consistently did not look good. At first I was trying to give him the benefit of being new to system etc - but by now there should be some improvement. Preseason is going to be critical for him, if he shows nothing then I think Beane has to look elsewhere (hell, even Josh would have to say at this point that Kyle has sucked)

One other thing was the D was going off to the side field (out of sight of fans/stands) a LOT during the practices last week - more than I ever remember. Could be a sign they are working on new things

Honestly it was more pronounced at Fisher this week - esp Mon/Tues. Defense was many times what I would call smothering - O didn't have a chance to breathe. Almost like the O was being forced to play on a smaller field. A lot of it was defense was throwing kitchen sink at them right off the bat - dudes coming from everywhere. Was better showing by O on Thurs - at least it wasn't constant jailbreak. Likely a combo of O handling it better, and D dialing the exotic pressures back a bit.

I said in my practice summary yesterday, I didn't see Morris miss a ball in the three practices this week (now four)

Maybe he can't handle the bright lights

Knox drop lol - put Morris in!

Kincaid. DROP!

Cook wow - bursts out of EZ long gain

The kid was wearing crocs, which I think was the initial contributing factor. The 2nd fall was 100% panic-induced. It reminded me of the most glorious fall I have ever seen, also at the stadium - but in the opposite gravitational direction. The Browns 6-3 game - "Worst game in NFL history" - we were at the top corner of the upper deck, questioning our life decisions, and this guy comes running down the aisle, trips, and in my mind flies like superman parallel to the ground for like 20 rows. Spectacularly crashes, jumps up, and disappears into the tunnel. One of the most amazing things I've ever seen in my life.

Teenage kid coming up stairs totally wipes out - hard - complete faceplant - right in front of us. Crowd "oooooooh" Gets up, takes one step, wipes out even harder. Omg. Had to look and he wasn't drunk . Good part is that it is downhill from here - he will never be more embarrassed in his life
