CommonCents Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Seeing some talk that he pulled his hamstring on Saturday. For the risk/reward it still doesn’t matter much if true.

Stretch to be as limber as a rubber band and hydrate like crazy. As naive as I am I DO KNOW I am over simplifying it, but still. Expand You can do those things and still pull muscles. Especially with what these guys do on a daily basis. It isn't always running full speed that causes hamstring pulls, it's the torque put on it when they come off the line. Preparation is fine but it's not foolproof. 1

Expand Deal with reality? The Bills last season, the first under McBeane, was their most successful in the 21st century, resulting in a 9-7 record and the end of a seventeen year playoff drought. That's reality. The rest is pure speculation at this point. 2 1

Kemp2Warlick Posted August 6, 2018 Posted August 6, 2018 Matt MillerVerified account @nfldraftscout 6m6 minutes ago More Could Corey Coleman work in Buffalo? I think so. It's encouraging to see the FO adding speed to match Josh Allen's arm strength. Vertical stretch + big target in Kelvin Benjamin underneath 2 replies3 retweets4 likes Reply 2 Retweet 3 Like 4 Direct message Matt MillerVerified account @nfldraftscout 5m5 minutes ago More Biggest obstacle is what looked like concentration issues. Offsides penalties, drops, and I've heard from people there last year he was often lining up wrong or didn't know the play call. Gotta fix that first.

Expand The defense is much better on paper. Better NT in Star, better LB in Edmunds, better pass rusher in Murphy, better backup in Phillips, about the only unit that didn't improve was the secondary and that might be better in the same defense with roughly the same guys. Offense is not better. Oline is terribly unproven, but there are enough guys IMO to at least field a decent unit. Shady is still Shady, and hopefully we have a QB who will take some chances and an OC who can scheme mismatches. I think back to the Eagles 2016 season. Wentz took that team to 7-9 and a 79 QB rating but you could tell they finally had their franchise QB. Defense was good but it was definitely a work in progress. I feel like we are very much in the same position they were back then.

Just hope we have a good QB and from what i keep hearing from camp, it might not matter what the WRs/QB do if the oline can't give them 3 seconds to get open we're in trouble.

Expand Agreed. The issue with last year was we had some close games that could have gone either way. 9-7 was pretty much last year's optimal. A team that performs identical to last year could easily go 6-9. I'm not concerned with record this year, I'm just looking for improvement from young guys and seeing how Allen looks:)
