    Good question. I would say Levy's simply because they had gotten to the big game 4 times and couldn't get it done. While there have been many painful losses in the Bills history like MCM, 13 seconds. Nothing will compare to the most painful loss of wide right.

    I’ve never been the type of fan that wants to fire everyone for losing in the playoffs. Not saying any type is the wrong type. I’ve never been angry or disappointed for finishing second or 3rd or 4th. It definitely hurts, but it just makes me want it more. I’m not satisfied but I just look at it differently. If we’re close I don’t believe in changing the plan, I believe in adding to the talent.

    Who says I haven’t enjoyed the ride?

     

    But we are all in it to win it. That’s the name of the game.

     

    For all of he accomplishments of the Bills since 2017, all they have to show for it is one AFCCG (which they got destroyed in) appearance, is disappointing. FACT.

     

     

    Disappointing is an interesting word. Who was more disappointing? McDermott’s Bills or Levy’s Bills?

    I'm not wrong at all.

     

    This will be McGoverns 4th year in the league and his entire career he's played guard.

     

    https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/McGoCo01.htm

     

    Guard to center is not an easy transition to make.

     

    Center Responsibilities

     

    Calling out blocking assignments: The center may need to make last-second adjustments based on the defensive alignment.

     

    Being the offensive line's captain: The center has a good view of the defense and can alert the other offensive players to potential issues. For example, if a middle linebacker moves up to the line of scrimmage before the snap, the center can let everyone know so the offense can make changes.

     

    Being a long snapper: On special teams formations, the center acts as the long snapper. However, in the NFL, all teams have a dedicated long snapper. 

     

    The center is often considered the quarterback of the offensive line and is responsible for leading the unit. They need to be able to deconstruct the game, learn what everyone is doing, and make instant decisions in games. 

    I dont think they’re just throwing him into the position. This was planned. McGovern mentally will handle center with ease. The snapping is the only concern. McGovern has moved from guard to center at Penn State.
     

    I also feel Kromer really likes David Edwards at LG, he had him in LA. They drafted a quality center as depth, so they aren’t putting all their eggs into McGovern. Nothing wrong letting the rookie develop and learn the offense. As you said, center is considered the QB of the OL.

    Why does McDermott always try to fit a round peg into a square hole?

    What are you talking about? 
     

    Firstly Aaron Kromer is the OL coach. Second, what are other examples of McDermott trying to fit a round peg into a square hole?

     

    If McGovern is having snap issues into next week then it’s something to worry about.

    I haven't heard any of that and in fact lots of references of him beating guys all camp.  So not sure where you are hearing that because none of the people attending camp reporting on it have mentioned he is struggling with anything.  

    Jeremy and Joe Marino on WGR today. Said he couldn’t separate from Jamarcus Ingram in one on one’s. They weren’t being too negative, just pointing out that separation isn’t his game.

    LOL...Keon has been the star of camp with highlights coming out pretty much everyday.  Yet we got some people who have been down on Keon not discussing any of those plays but instead wanting to argue about one maybe being out of bounds?  Ok :thumbsup:

     

    And who cares anyway?  It was still an impressive clip showcasing his ability to go get the ball and control it through the ground, if he was out of bounds then its more on where Allen put the ball than Keon anyway.  

     

    But hey...if nit picking this one play amongst a reel of highlights makes you feel better about pessimistic views, then do your thang :)

    I’ve heard he’s struggling with separation, but that’s what was expected. He’s not a separator. He’s going to be a contested catch guy and a YAC guy.

    Random observations from today's practice;

     

    - Hollins first one out again hair flowing and feet bare

    - Watching players coming out from top of bleachers:

    - Elam only non WR I saw on juggs - he was there for a while

    - In vip area as players approach tunnel from fieldhouse there was 7 guys all with Dawkins jerseys on. Dion comes over and turns out he knows them all- assume from his hometown bc heard Joisey a lot.  One guy had his kid there heard Dion say "I remember when you were in diapers" Stayed for 5 mins talking to them all - was a really cool scene

    - Every time I see Josh doing the walk from the fieldhouse I'm reminded I Love You Josh Allen 😛

    - Merciful clouds to start practice, but didn't last long unfortunately 
    - Lots of ST to start
    - OL doing a drill where the rusher bull rushes then jumps up and they try to maintain contact.  Then for a while two guys on each side with pads coming at a blocker needed to engage left then right then left then right
    - QBs doing the drill where they hand off then get another ball tossed to them then immediately throw to the side - did same yesterday,

    - Next was routes against air

    - Have to say trubisky throws a nice ball - tight spiral with zip

    - Red zone 1-1 selected plays
    - Coleman great grab vs Elam gets feet in, shavers v benford incomplete great effort both, hamler v Ingram couldn't hold on, Shakir v taron ref said out but very close, Coleman v Elam nice catch td, keys v brown sick move to be open.  Hamler v rasul great coach in middle with defender hanging all over him,  ingram nice  pbu vs isabella, shavers couldn't hold on,  Xavier Johnson left brown in the dust sick inside move, Lewis int after coleman fell down.  Hamler great contested grab at back ez, ref called out.  Were multiple great effort plays by receivers that refs called out that looked very close - would have been a lot of video reviews and possible overturns on many of these ez catches if this was real game
    - 11-11 selected plays

    - Lot more runs this 11-11 session

    Josh to Samuel 15 yd down middle, Trubsky to samuel similar play, 
    Dorian Williams like a rocket to destroy sweep,

    davis cant get edge v 2nd team d nice d,
    3rd string lovely stops quick out to Isabella in its tracks, davis 1st team nice run to left 15 yds

    - After the whistle a lot of times the rb will just keep going (and keep getting popped) and sometimes keep running all the way to EZ.  Yesterday noticed trubisky tearing down field to run with rb into ez, today noticed all 3 qbs doing it at times so seems just a thing they decided to do for fun (couple times there were some audibles - one time Buechele was tearing down the field on a run play and the RB stopped,  so he quickly sheepishly looped back to LOS, one time Josh was running down and RB started to stop and Josh made him run all the way in with him - guess Buechel doesn't quite have the same command 😛 )
    - Caught a shirt
    - Next was a period where defense was off on the side field and offense stood around for like 10 mins going over some formation or concept - did 4 snaps total may have been the lowest energy extended period I have ever seen at a practice - maybe on purpose bc of the heat 
    - 11-11 selected plays

    - Looked like they were doing 3rd and long
    - Kincaid sliding grab at marker, quick slant Josh pass to mvs for td - though it might have been blown dead - von came up middle with clear shot (was the one play i keyed on von - did a little juke/delay and then looped over to middle and was untouched), Trubisky nice step up to avoid pressure hit keys 1st down, db blitzes untouched from left side trubisky reads immediately and gets ball to mckitty nice play, rasul drops int from josh after nice break on ball,
    Josh threads beautiful 20 yd pass down middle to Hollis with 4 guys around him, bishop really nice physical pbu on long josh throw to te down field, pbu on Josh forced throw to shavers, Josh quick out to Samuel 15 yds, groot untouched sack, josh to kincaid down middle 15 yds,  trubisky

    beautiful pass to hollins thread needle 20 yds,
    Some scuffle well after play - just saw the huge scrum then solomon being dragged out by 2 teammates, josh quick out to Keon, then dump off to cook 10 yds, trubisky threaded another pass down middle, Josh scrambles then whistle blows and Josh keeps running around in secondary til comes up to safety then collapses on ground in a " slide" - what a goof
    - bass 5 for 6 increasing yardage fgs, missed last from 50 - browning was holding

    - 11-11 selected plays

    - Last reps by 1st team,, dline not trying to bring pressure

    - Keon 1st down short throw, beautiful run davis up middle, MVS no gain, Hamlin laid wood to shavers who hung on - looked like might have been a head shot, cook up middle no gain, short dump off bounces off Kincaid hands (human after all), Kincaid 1st down, josh beautiful long throw down middle to Shakir threaded between 4 defenders, Knox fist down, shavers nice comeback 8 yds sideline, nice pbu in hardy, Josh force to davidson with 2 defenders there - hardy another pbu (think Josh knew it was last play)

    - This was a long practice in the heat - went to 11:50

    - Final thoughts from last two days:

    - MVS was out there many times with the ones today, but my big takeaway is I wouldn't put any stock who is with ones - it is constantly changing not only where guys line up but also who they line up with, and which team it is.  Even if/when "starters" are designated i dont think it will matter much since personnel is all going to be different based on the play

    - Think practice today was less energy than yesterday.  D was thumping more yesterday, but today seemed to be actually playing more stout d even with a little less 'edge' hitting after whistle etc

    - Bernard seemed really hyped both days being physical

    - Trubisky looked good to me both days - moved well in pocket, avoided pressure, some nice throws with zip - a couple elite ones.  Looked like a legitimate QB 

    - Davis really looks like the real deal to me.  I said yesterday he looks tiny standing around but doesn't look small with the ball in his hands

    - I hope Hamler makes the team as returner bc I think he is a legitimate receiver as well.  Dude constantly flashed to me both days (yesterday at first I kept seeing 19 making plays and asking myself who is 19?  dude is balling!  I soon learned) - he is a dog who was playing much bigger than he is - physical fighting for position and going after balls

    No special teams report? Slacker. 
     

    Just kidding, great report. Love this stuff.

    The people watching Patriots camp.. don't agree that Maye has been tearing it up. The reports say he's been having footwork issues, doesn't anticipate throws and tries to use his arm strength to make up for it. Patriots fans for the most part don't want him starting because he hasn't looked like he's close to ready.

    36 years old 😬

     

    Hope this position doesn't become a concern all season. Maybe he can talk to simmons for us 🤣

    We struggled there in 2022. Poyer was playing with one arm all year and Hyde was out all year.

     

    It wouldn’t be new. We’re better off than that year.

    What do you call it then? The first team defense is out there and Hamlin is on it. Is that not beating out everyone else at the position? It's day 5 yes, it might be a premature observation. But i'm not crazy for calling it beating him out.

    You can have whatever opinion you want, it’s just pointless to worry about a rookie this early. They didn’t draft him to peak the first week of training camp. 
     

    Give him a chance to get comfortable in the defense. It might take until into the season before he’s comfortable.
