He is intriguing but they are already carrying Von's contract for the often injured role.

Ben Williams was a very good player. Paup was magic the one year he dominated. Bennett was dominant.

Free agent Safety is the most likely add. I don't see McDermott starting a rookie alongside Bishop next year.

Peterman, Jaimie Nails, Ed Spriggs, Maybin, Corey Moore.

I think Cook has proved he deserves a pay upgrade. He has great talent and seems to be getting better year to year. That said, he is not getting $15mm. I guess he is negotiating what his agent told him. Beane will figure it out. I do not see him being traded because of an offseason demand.

Remember the last time the Ravens were the number 1 seed, the Chiefs jumped out to an early lead and made the Ravens one dimensional. The Ravens are not the team to play from behind.

Throw in Knox, Hollins, Gilliam and of course #17, it is a physical group.

RIP John. May he rest in peace.

This is exactly what it is. They never send an extra rusher in the first quarter. Same ol, same ol.

The endzone pass and the third down pass on crossing patterns, the receiver had no separation. Cooper should help with just that. I think it is a great pickup. He will also benefit Knox and Kincaid by the attention he will draw.

I have to believe his toe is limiting him. He certainly was targeted a lot at St. John Fisher in the practices I saw. Tis is info from when they signed him: Matthew Harmon, a wide receiver guru known for his Reception Perception methodology, released the following stats on Samuel’s route running success rate in 2023. 75.4% success rate vs. man coverage (82nd percentile in the league). Samuel has cleared 75% success rate vs. man in all 4 seasons charted for reception perception Samuel’s 80% success rate vs. zone was the best mark of his career Samuel’s ability to separate and get open against man and zone should be a major asset for Buffalo’s offense in 2024. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2024/07/unleashing-curtis-samuel-is-1-of-10-keys-to-buffalo-bills-super-bowl-run.html

I also thought Hamlin looked late on every snap. The whole team overreacted to every misdirection, every fake. It was ugly.

Hollins was targeted by Josh a lot at camp practices particularly in the endzone. He seems pretty good at high pointing the ball and catching the fade patterns in the redzone. He might not be an all-pro but I think he will surprise in the redzone.

At Sunday's practice, Morris was on all the special teams. On kick return, they ran right behind him a couple of times. I think he is on the roster. That said, Davidson is very smooth and shows great hands. It will be an interesting cutdown.

Hamler's youtube highlights from his time in Denver were intriguing. He can really get behind the defense consistently. Just needs to keep healthy.
