Really the best case scenario as far as I am concerned is that Trubisky doesn't need to play this year but next year he goes somewhere else not in the AFC East and starts tearing it up. We'll have a better reputation out there among free agents and I'll take that any day over the draft pick in this scenario. 2 1

If Trubisky signs somewhere else after this season, they may get a compensatory third anyway. Also if he's needed for a couple weeks or so ( god forbid/knock on wood), I feel like he would do well enough to win. I think if he had to play 3 or 4 games, I think he would at least go 2-2 or 3-1. Feel better about him than Barkley by far. 1 1
78thealltimegreat Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 The Colts are trusting Carson Wentz whose a walking chandelier to be ahead of schedule yeh we know how this will turn out 3

(Which of course they were not allowed to do the following week vs. Brady’s receivers) 2

Enter Brady and all that stops. Be prepared gentlemen, if you practice like it's the playoffs, you will win a lot of games. 3

If Trubisky signs somewhere else after this season, they may get a compensatory third anyway. But he'd only sign a big money deal if he got significant playing time here. And if you think he will get that plkaying time this year, a 3rd isn't worth it anyhow. I'd think long and hard about a top-100 pick. But I don't like it. Top-60 and I'd have to do it.

If I was to bet, I would feel very confident putting my $$ on he will get injured again and probably early in season. Having "bet the Franchise" on Wentz enough to trade for him even with his injury history, I don't think the recent injury changes the Indy FO assessment.

I think Andy Reid who has had a lot more experience post season understood that better then the Bills. Remember the Bills-Washington Super Bowl, that was the reason why we lost, imo. They brutalized our receivers and we had no answer (except a penalty on Reed for losing his cool), Edited August 11, 2021 by RoyBatty is alive 1

Hapless Bills Fan Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2021/08/bills-cole-beasley-making-taron-johnson-better-in-training-camp-its-a-cheat-code-day-12-observations.html Matt Parrino NYUP article. Steel sharpens Steel and Beasley is making Taron Johnson better: Quote “I feel like it’s a cheat code that I get to go against him because he’s just making me better every day,” Johnson said. “I think he’s the best slot in the league and that’s what I’m trying to be as a nickel. Just having him to go against every day is just amazing.” Most days after practice, Johnson said he’ll catch up with Beasley in the locker room and the veteran will just share some wisdom on how the still-developing defensive back can improve. Johnson is entering a contract year and is looking to build off a strong second half of 2020 that culminated in the pick-six return touchdown against the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round. Trubisky has his "platitudes" in order: Quote “I’m just happy to be in a great place now where I’m surrounded by great people, great coaches, great teammates and be on a team where you’re wanted and be part of a great team,” he said We're likely to see a good bit of hm on Friday since Josh won't play. What did he show in shorts? Quote Trubisky had a few nice throws on the day, connecting with Dawson Knox, tight end Bug Howard and Tanner Gentry. He just missed Gabriel Davis, who had single coverage down the left sideline. Running backs: Quote With Moss out of the action, Matt Breida shined for a second consecutive day. He broke off one big run up the middle, showing off his explosiveness. He should get some good work against Detroit. Antonio Williams had a good run, finding the hole between a nice block by Jack Anderson and Jamil Douglas. Zach Moss needs to channel Jon Feliciano, who said last summer "every day I look at my pec in the mirror and say "hurry up, or get left behind" " It's hopeful that McDermott called it "one day at a time" but those things can linger, so Heal Good before you come back, Zach. Hollister showing some stuff: Quote Allen found Hollister twice on the day and the two have picked up right where they left off in Wyoming. Hollister missed a few practices with a back injury but has looked good since returning and he’s moving well. It’s easy to see why Brandon Beane wanted to bring him in to play with Allen. The two were on the same page and both receptions came as a result of a strong route and an immediate read by the quarterback. 24 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Yes but maybe that’s why Stefon is being held out a lot I think Stefon is being held out a lot because he wasn't held out against a really aggressive play by Micah Hyde that injured his knee.

Having a spare QB1 (masquarading as a QB2) that can execute the full Daboll playbook, should it be necessary, gives me great confidence in this team, this year. I hope they find a few plays for MT this year. Roll those plays out during the AFC East games. Feel the same about McBeanes getting Trubisky into Buffalo. Astounding effort, Great get. and really best thing for the Kid to get grounded with a Team that has embraced him. we must have the best backup + Josh = equation in the league. Do not see that very often for any team. and we are well prepared for a SB run again. Because of Trubisky being that good in this system Go Bills

No, for the same reason that I thought it was dumb for Sean Payton to run plays for Taysom Hill when he had Drew Brees. If your QB1 is the best player on the team, why do you EVER take the ball out of his hands? I hope the only action Trubisky sees this season is during the next three weeks and then mop-up duty of blowout wins. 5 4
3rdand12 Posted August 11, 2021 Posted August 11, 2021 2 hours ago, BubbaT said: I concur. Athletic DT's really seem to give them a tough time. They don't seem flexible. They like mauler types but, really, the game is evolving to the point where the athletic DT's and those that substitute for the more run stuffing DT's on passing downs are going to necessitate a look for more athletic OG's. The Bills went 15-4 with them last year but I hope going forward they upgrade. I would expect the O line would look better in all respects regardless of who makes it to the starters and PS. McBeane Daboll and likely Frazier know what need to improve from the O line and running game. Love to see the starters play together all season with minimal breaks from injury. Just to see how much better they play stringing some games together. Thanks gosh for Next Man Up players last year. We criticized. But they sure did carry us pretty far to your point Bubba ? Couple folks here have talked about how they want this O line to look/evolve , and what schemes they will have the best success with
