Or Mahomes who does it 10-12 times a game or >

Got very dusty here near the end When he was on the phone all I could think was Pegs on the other end asking "How's the weather?" lol

Nice story - thanks for sharing. Anyone else picture Matt and his girlfriend in his apartment w/ no furniture sitting on the mattress on the floor reading books?

Good article - nice explanantion of exactly how opting out helped his family and the reasons behind it. Like the quote from his brother how the other AFC East teams that passed on him are going to regret it. Phillips (who took his college number) going before him might fuel him a little more against the Dolphins too.

Back in the 90s there was an ECHL team in Raleigh - the Raleigh IceCaps - who played in an old 5000 seat arena on the State Fairgrounds originally built to show livestock. It was straight out of Slap Shot. They had a fan favorite player by the name of Lyle Wildgoose. Those were good times. https://funwhileitlasted.net/2011/11/27/1991-1998-raleigh-icecaps/

Coached by Jim Leonhard Guy on ESPN said "home run type of pick in the 6th round"

Lot of nice things to say from ESPN guys - one guy "guaranteed" he'd make the roster on ST's alone

What a story - Holy Crap

only 4.4? - not 4.2? WTH!

Is he taller than 6'8"?

I love it when people scream "but we need interior OL!" and then I picture Beane and all the FO and coaches and scouts who literally dedicate their lives to this going "Awwwwwwwwwwwww Crap! We forgot about interior OL!"

Some real awkward exchanges there: First dude (as an afterthought before he hands phone over) - "Hey man- you're healthy right? No issues I assume" 🙄 Pegs: "How's the weather there?" 🙄

Its crazy - he gives real meaning to "The Josh Allen of Linemen" - small blue collar town, work on the family farm, play football/basketball/baseball in HS, go to small college program, etc. And we all know Josh could bench 500 if he put his mind to it

He's the OT/TE hybrid everyone's been pining for

Bills focused on raising average team height this draft

Garret looks like Hanz or Franz's step-brother

Ha - just got a txt from someone I know - their son-in law is a distant cousin of Basham And I once was on a plane with Macho Man

Years ago I was on a flight with Macho Man That is all

There's been a number of comments related to playing weight - in the PC Beane was asked that specifically and he said - with the caveat they obviously would have to get him in and do an actual detailed assessment to make the final determination - that he saw him playing "in the 60's", which is where he is at now. Also some of that weight obviously may be re-distributed under NFL strength and conditioning

That's one thing that stands out from the highlights. He seems to have a laser focus on where the QB is and never loses sight of him - and there are plays where off the line he is setting the edge and initially guaging where the QB is, then pouncing to make a play as soon as the QB comes off his mark (instinct was one of the things Beane mentioned). He is chasing down QBs from all angles and covering all kinds of ground - and using his length to catch or trip up QBs who are moving all around. Looking at it in the context of Mahomes - you can just picture Mahomes side-stepping a one-dimensional straight-line speed guy and still making a play, but you can also picture Rousseau making Mahomes life a living hell chasing him around and down as Mahomes runs around like a crazy chicken in the backfield (hopefully for a few patented 20+ yd sacks)

And a 12 yr old

I blame the chair

Tears of unfathomable sadness
