YoloinOhio Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 This article’s headline is referring to Dhakiel Shorts, but his message to Sills was about Chad Hall. All the new young coaches may make as much of a difference as all the new players.
GunnerBill Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 I only found out today his sister is Matt Stafford's wife. The last few weeks cannot have been easy on him. Gets his shot as a full position coach for the first time and then as the offseason workouts tick up a notch having that to deal with in your family life. Thoughts with him, his sister, Matt and the whole family. 8 1

Sherlock Holmes Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Please Sills please Sills pleaseeeee.... I need my Sills V jersey
3rdand12 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I do hope McBeanes are dialing in Coaches after some rough going on offense. Daboll seems NFL quality and capable. Hope he can build a fine Coaching staff and turn this offense into a threat, and soon.

I would agree. I love to root for the underdogs but hyping them up so much usually turns into a giant meltdown after preseason. There’s a reason they are drafted super late or undrafted. In Sills case specifically he’s obviously got some talent, but an awful lot of scouts and gm’s have to think there’s a reason he won’t translate fast to the nfl.

MrEpsYtown Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) I've said this a couple of times, but I truly believe that the development we saw in Robert Foster last year was a direct result of Hall's work. Practice squad guys and bottom of the roster guys simply won't get much attention from the head receivers coach becuase he has a million other more important things to deal with. Hall would have been the guy putting in the extra work with Foster imo. Hall made himself an NFL career out of very little talent. A guy like him making it, with his limited ability...that guy usually has some great insights into the intricacies of playing the position. He didn't get by on great athleticism or size, he had to grind, and I think that's the reason why he will make a great impact on the receivers on the team. Edited June 8, 2019 by MrEpsYtown 3
atlbillsfan1975 Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Hall is a great guy. Hall is friends with my cousin and has been able to get him sideline passes before. I wish Chad tons of success. The entire Hall family is first class from everything I have seen and heard. What his sister went through and how she handled it was courageous and graceful. 7
Simon Says Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 I personally want what is best for the TEAM. I dont care whether whether they went to UB...I don't care they were a 13 year old QB prodigy...every year,some fans get worked up with man crushes on certain late round picks or UDFA:Reilly,Proehl,Sills...maybe someday they will become a major contributor

Nothing wrong with hoping all players drafted and undrafted become something but begging is a thing of the past. Begging and pleading like we need some miracle is a thing of the past. We're a well ran organization now and we no longer need to rely on hail mary players to become starters. If it happens - no doubt, awesome. 1

Seems a reasonable take. and that is very cool you are such a Fan of your Boy Sills !! hope you get your wish. Be sweet if he worked out. Hopefully they can stash him now. with the injury perhaps no one even fishes for him in Buffalo. Very much like to see him gete a year on PS to see what he can do with NFL coaching.

I'm hoping he gets to show enough to sneak on the roster still. I'm sure he can bring something to special teams.
