Brand J Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 I wasn’t a fan of the Rousseau pick with JOK on the board, but I know why they made it. With all the positive reports on Rousseau I’m glad he’s not looking like the developmental project I thought he’d be. In that 2nd drill where he was next to Hughes, I’m surprised at the amount of ground Rousseau covered in comparison to Hughes, because it looked like Jerry was putting forth great effort while Rousseau was just sorta running the drill. Both covered roughly the same amount of ground, despite one looking much more spry. That’s really encouraging on Rousseau’s behalf. 3 2
78thealltimegreat Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 We all knew it was too good to be true …Josh it was a good run…now we just have to pick out the year where the dead cap money isn’t to bad and we patiently await the Mitch era to begin 1

I feel like they may try defending Josh different ways similar to the way they would PM maybe? Or he just had one of those off days. Anyways, nice to hear running game looked good.
Logic Posted August 10, 2021 Posted August 10, 2021 Peter King of Football Morning in America (formerly Monday Morning Quarterback) was at Bills' camp today. Figures he just happened to be in town for what was apparently Allen's worst camp performance yet. Expect a "Allen's contract extension was risky, based on what I saw, he might regress!" blurb in this week's FMIA column.

He is the sole reason for Allen having an "off" day.

Expand From what I saw this past Saturday, Rousseau DOES look like the project you had initially thought he was. He's got work to do and a little bulk to add. I feel like he'll be able to hit the ground running next season but he'll only be involved in spot duty this season. Very talented player with a great wing span but he got owned by backup level tackles on Saturday. Boogie looked to be getting consistent push in his reps while in there but of course he is a completely different kind of player. 1 1 1

I'm not discounting your report. I wasn't there, so I have no idea. I'm just saying it seems to be the opposite of what most people covering Bills camp are saying. 1

That's probably around $5M per year. Expand Let's see how this year plays out. There's always another mitch trubisky. Side note: the bears forums are eviscerating the guy for his comments today. They really don't like him, but also say he's a hard working team first guy. Seems he gets a lot of blame for Pace drafting him #2 OA 1

I certainly believe what you're saying, however I'd like to think there is some truth to some of those good reports. That said he is a rookie coming off sitting out last year so one would kinda expect him need some work. I certainly didn't expect him to come out blazing of course. I do feel encouraged about him from what little I have seen.
