Paup 1995MVP

I really have not watched much of Deone Walker's game. I reread your previous post. My question when we drafted this guy is why can't we bring in guys who have a little better height/weight distribution? If we are discussing 1 tech vs 3 tech, why do we have such trouble finding guys who are built to play 1 tech. Thick stout guys with big lower bodies? The quintissential 1 tech of the modern era was Vince Wilfork. Wasn't he like 6'3 and 325? That would seem to be a perfect 1 tech. The Bills love these real tall guys on both lines. And I think its a disadvantage. Spencer Brown-way too tall. Greg Rousseau-way too tall. AJ Epenesa-too tall. Wasn't Jason Peters 6'4? I would not want any lineman over 6'5 period. And preferably a little shorter. Remember Jim Ritcher from years back? He was maybe 6'1 I believe and was a hell of a guard. If Walker does not play 1 tech, who else do we have other than Daquan Jones? There you go. Squats are not difficult as long as you know how to do them, and don't mess up your knees going down.

The guy had a stress fracture in his back last season. He is 6'7, he should be at least 330 pounds. Just needs to gain more muscle. D Lineman don't need to be trim. Big and heavy is what DT's need to be.

Did Kincaid practice today? I am worried about his knee situation. And what about Knox? Is he still not practicing? Are we going into the season with Davidson and Hawes as our starting two TE's? That would be something. Can Keith McKeller or Jay Reimersma still move? (half joking only)

I know what you are saying. And if he looks good, he is thinking someone will give him a shot, if he doesn't stick with the Bills. I remember in one of the preseason games, maybe against Chicago (did we play Carolina in the preseason last year also?) that he looked real solid making some plays.

The guy is an odd dude. Noone wants that in the NFL. Pete Carroll is an old school 70 something year old coach. He doesn't need or want any distractions. Plus Wilkins foot is a mess. He has the Deuce Staley type injury. Les Franc fractures are real tough to come back from. Have a nice life Wilkins. Mitch Morse and Josh Allen wish you well loading packages on the UPS loading dock.

Football is physical and violent. Everyone on your 53 man roster and practice squad has to be at least good enough to hold their own starting at their respective positions. Guys like Baylon Spector have not been that. Hopefully he can stay healthy and show if he deserves to be on an NFL field. Unless a guy is carted off the field, I think these are nicked up type injuries. And for the most part doesn't sound too serious. Hopefully thats true for Shavers. I am concerned a bit about Spencer Brown. Guy hasn't practiced yet. Has back issues, and is a real tall dude. Not a good mix.

Dion Cain had a real strong preseason last year. I think he could fight for the sixth WR spot on the roster. Has some burst, decent size and good hands. Hope he gets a fair shot.

I loved watching Sterling Sharpe play. Would have been one of the best ever, except for the injury. Still great for the time that he played. Such a classier guy than his horse mouth brother.

Good point about playing in shorts versus playing in pads. You just don't hear much anymore about NFL training camp practices being ultra physical. Yes they will do some hitting once the pads go on. But guys aren't beating the tar out of their teammates too often anymore. (Joint practices between two different teams will get more physical.) They have to keep the friendly fire stuff to a minimum. If it was all on violence, Taylor Rapp would be injured, and take out a few offensive players in the process. The Oklahoma drill is certainly a thing of the past. Hard to believe when my kid played pee wee football growing up in the suburbs of Atlanta in the mid 2000's, they were doing the Oklahoma drill at the end of a lot of practices when the kids were 6 and 7. I kid you not. And the parents were all gathered round screaming and cheering their kids on like they were gladiators. But lets hope all our receivers look good this year. Palmer Moore Shakir and Samuel are all fast. And Coleman can be the physical guy. He just needs to find his game. Fingers crossed.

Keon may just not be ready to have a starting role on an NFL team. I say this thinking back to Eric Moulds career. He did not blossom until year 3 with Doug Flutie. And then was a big time beast for the rest of his career as a Bill. That being said lets hope Keon can get it going. Separation seems to be a problem for the young man. And his hands don't seem great either when it comes to catching contested balls. Not good when separation is a problem. Our starters at WR could very well be Moore, Palmer and Shakir. Not a bad triumvirate if I do say so.

Maybe he strengthened his leg. I was just always really surprised how when he was punting for Michigan, that we could not find someone better. When we always had lights out kickers. But high school level punters. We still won the Nat Championship in 2023. Maybe he was a good luck charm or something. Did you ever hear of Charles Woodson, Lamar Woodley or Tom Brady? How about Jay Reimersma or Rashawn Gary? I have had enough.

He looked good at Oregon a few years back. Especially in the bowl game against I believe Oklahoma. We probably have the worst backups collectively in the league. Although I still have hope that Mike White can find the magic he had several years back for a few games with the Jets. I just cringe when I see Mitch Trubisky with that stupid smile wearing a Bills uniform.

I disagree. Trubisky is a joke.

I am tired of the entire off season. It goes on forever. Feels like its been two years since we last played a game. Kincaid has been mediocre at best since coming in the league. He has not dominated one single game he has played in, in two years. And for a 1st round draft pick that is disappointing. But I am not ready to say he is a bust. But everyone has their own opinion on every player for the most part. There are only very few who everyone think are phenomenal. And Kincaid aint one of them. I just want to see him be a difference maker every week. Scott Chandler was not a great TE. But he made a lot of big catches, especially TD's for the Bills. Same with Pete Metzellars and Keith McKeller. I would not say they were great players. But they were difference makers for the team in their eras. Kincaid needs to stop being invisible more than he is a difference maker.

The guy was trash at Michigan. I swear he never punted for over 40 yards on any kick. (I am an alum and watch all their games) I was shocked when he was drafted by the Bengals. And just as perplexed when he was signed by the Bills. When I was in school there in the Mid 80's we had a punter by the name of Monty Robbins. Guy was great. I wonder if he was Brad Robbins father. LOL But seriously Brad Robbins has no leg. You want a kicker with a strong leg, get a Michigan kicker. We have had a lot of good ones over the years. Our kicker last year, who fortunately is coming back, last name Zvada is tremendous. As far as punters go, we haven't had a real good one probably since Brad's namesake Monty who punted in mid 80's in the Harbaugh era. Go Blue. And Go Bills!!
