There’s probably less than 10 players on Houston’s roster that would make it on ours. 1 minute ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Cooks would be ok not a material upgrade from what we have, Johnson, too old too worn down. Agree 31 is ancient for a RB. 2 1

They must hate their QB’s. Tyrod in his worst situation to date. Davis Mills, the stop gap draftee QB was dreadful in his last pre-season games, 4 ints. Tyrod isnt the great runner he used to be, still holds the ball too loosely which cost him one fumble. Texans are pretty bad. Going to be a real laugher when the Texans meet the Jags, two worst NFL teams by far imo.

Leadership, we have Jerry Hughes in the room, does Addison "add"? Now for the Bills, they may feel they pay about the same to trade or to keep, but then there's the "aging vet vs. young players for the future" aspect. We have Johnson on a cheap contract for one extra year which if other things are equal, puts him ahead of Obada But, we really need to "affect the QB" over everything else, so.... Justin Houston only got $4M as a free agent this summer..........Addison's market is probably vet league minimum. 1

Horrendous Right about that, one of the worst trades of all time with the excuse they didnt want to pay DeAndre. I have mentioned it multiple times but the DJ trade for Deandre Hopkins was the beginning of the end for the Texans. If the owner had a room temperature IQ THEN he should have fired Bill O Brien as GM-HC. Everything spiraled downhill quickly after that trade. Bill O Brien ruined the Texans for years.

If you're a desperate team due to injuries, who are your choices right now? Addison is a guy who is 1 season away from 9.5 sacks and 14 QB hits, and those weren't an aberration on his prev. few years. We may think more of Justin Houston, but his numbers are not that dissimilar to Addison prior to 2020. I can see where another team's talent evaluators might feel there's more in him than you do at present.

Apparently Rosen had a good half yesterday playing with the scrubs. In the minds of some he has already secured his position as Ryan’s backup. Maybe he can play in that offence, he’s sort of like a (much) Iesser version of Ryan as QB types go. I was looking forward to checking this game out but it wasn’t on offer in my part of the world. I was a never Rosen guy in the draft, but remain intrigued now that he is a bargain basement cast off, so I watched intently. For a guy signed just 2-3 days prior he physically looked fine. Lot's of zip on the ball, confident, and for the most part he placed it where he wanted to. A lot of miscues between where he thought WR would go vs where he wanted to put the ball based on coverage, but to be expected given the lack of practice time and he was playing with future real estate agents and insurance salesmen. The issue with him remained his body language and the faces he made after incompletions or mistakes. Very Jay Cutler like. Rosen's body language is atrocious and as the half went on it got worse. Yet he played a lot better than the other backup QB who started the first half. Rosen's issues will always be attitude and then staying healthy. That is what I made of this half. 1 2

Houston is and has always been superior. 2

Expect to see him among the cuts, to get this back on topic 😄
BillsFanThru-N-Thru Posted August 30, 2021 Posted August 30, 2021 The Browns cut one of the Mock draft DL favorite projections Marvin Wilson who they signed to a big UDFA contract.

AZ, Mia, TB, SF, now ATL. https://www.si.com/nfl/falcons/news/josh-rosen-matt-ryan-atlanta-falcons-backup-quarterback I thought he actually seemed more likeable in that interview than any other interview I've seen of him - like it's finally percolated through to his soul that in fact, where football is concerned, he's in fact not the Smartest Guy in the Room, or the Most Interesting Guy in the Room. When he came out in the draft and I thought he was a safer choice than Josh Allen (yes, I was a Wrong Josher, though I never kicked after the Bills made their choice and Minnesota won me over), one of my thoughts was that if we drafted Rosen (and remember, I admit I wanted us to) I would rather use a cheese grater as a washcloth than listen to another of his interviews. vs. Our Josh, who I swear, if you dropped him into a snake pit would have the snakes giggling and offering him snake cigars (but let's not try) 1 1
