Canisius HS has the best player in New York state
gonzo1105 replied to Buffalo716's topic in The Stadium Wall
Monroe High School in Rochester also has a 4 star WR committed to Oregon. Some years in New York State is stronger than others but a lot of FCS/D2 talent and it’s been that way for years. Occasionally you’ll get a big time kid or two -
Torrence will be the one gone. He’s young in his prime and will cost too much to retain. I’m actually surprised that one of Edwards or McGovern hasn’t been locked up already to be honest

Cowboys DE Marshawn Kneeland passes away - 24 yrs old.

Yup I mean just in this thread what 8 to 10 guys have come forward with stories already or their issues. I’m sure there are many others who don’t care to or are afraid to share their issues. It needs to be normalized when it comes to men. A kid I worked with was going to be a pharmacist and was training to do it, seemed like a good kid, joked around a lot, just one night took his life. There are plenty of of other examples like Kneeland of people who seemed to have bright futures or were rich and it didn’t stop their internal suffering -

Yup it’s funny I have conversations with a PCP here in Arkansas who prescribed me and he said times are different. Guys used to get lost in gambling, alcohol, abusing their wives and children as their outlet for their issues which in itself is sad but he said this generation has been better taught that not to hit women or children and alcohol consumption is massively down in this country so men no longer have these old outlets to deal with their issues -

Mental illness is no joke. As a guy who fought anxiety and depression I thought I could fight through it for 3 years plus before I finally decided to get help. Men particularly think that they don’t need or have been taught to fight through it by older generations.- 86 replies

I agree with you that Beane didn’t want to give up multiple picks. I expect Knox to take a very large paycut to stay. He seems happy here, realizes his role, and seems to be best buddies with Allen. Anderson and VanDeMark are essentially ours if we want them and really there is no reason not to come yo an agreement with Anderson particularly if McGovern and/or Edwards doesn’t re-sign. I think Bosa gets re-signed. Seems to really enjoy himself here and wants to win and knows his time is short. I think clearly our biggest need heading into the offseason will be LB. Yes we’ll have Bernard and Williams but nothing behind them, I would expect a high draft choice there. Well probably need to draft a CB and a Safety especially with Strongs status uncertain. 7 Draft picks I have: 1-2 LBs 1 CB 1 S 1 DT 1 WR 1 IOL 1 DE

I saw the hear me out and thats all i needed to know

All the improvements that you have seen came under Leipolds administration as coach there. I'm not sure just how much fans realized he accomplished off the field as the coach. He first got all the coaches offices and meeting rooms updated and decals put all throughout the facility including a showcase of trophies and the different helmets that they use. Then the next step was they completely overhauled the locker rooms to make them as state of the art that a MAC locker room could be with amenities like massage chairs, televisions etc. Then they created a nutrition room in the facility that wasn't anything huge but they didn't even have one. They made it into a nice small place that players could go and pick up their food and relax before practice started or after getting treatment. Then came the indoor fieldhouse that was completed just as he was walking out the door to go to Kansas. Additional facilities that were planned in place was the complete redoing of the weightroom which to be honest was just a shack and getting it up to par with the rest of the league and connecting it to the indoor field house. Then the next project was supposed to be the scoreboard completely replaced. This was all started by Leipold and Allen Greene the former AD when they both were there. I bet if both were there this would have already been accomplished but changing AD's and coaches probably slowed that up. Just an FYI, I never heard anything about renovating the whole stadium or building a new one outside of people murmuring the possibility of a new stadium at the intramural field which no one took seriously. Now Leipold is doing the same thing with Goff at Kansas.

Surprised the Dolphins didn't offload more than just Phillips. Same with the Titans. Like I said the restructuring of Taron Johnson was more to keep an operational budget as they are still going to have to pay Hoecht, sign a player to the active roster and bring in another PS guys most likely. We are a talented football team and making a move wasn't necessary. We have added 19 draft picks in the last two year(yes I realize not all of them are here anymore). I get it everyone wants the exciting splash move and I would have preferred a guy who can play the Hoecht spot better than Javon Solomon or Landon Jackson but you used draft picks on these guys and its smart to give them the reps. I don't know why people are surprised we didn't add a WR. We didn't draft one until super late, Beane told you he was happy with the room in the offseason, and we have once again one of the best offenses in the league. Do I always agree with it? No but is it surprising to me no as well.

I mean this is pretty much the expectation of the board so your not far off

Some of you guys are unbearable. If they do nothing that’s fine, we have drafted a ton of players the last two years. Let them get the reps and develop. Yes we opened up 1.75 million dollars(not exactly a large amount) most likely to put another guy on IR in Hoecht, to call up another player to the active roster(an increase in pay) , and to sign another PS player. Could we make a trade sure we can. If we do great. If it’s Wilson extra awesome, if it’s a rotational Dlineman okay, if it’s nothing that’s okay with me too. We are talented to win it all especially if our young defenders keep getting better
