Maxx Crosby

[Rubes]

All I want is for us to grab a difference maker on defense and then go out and have a 1985 Chicago Bears-style season next year to close out the Ralph.

 

Is that asking too much???

The Crosby V. Mahomes montage going around online (where he's getting under Patty's skin by doing basically nothing in the larger context of pro football) is enough to put him at the top of my Bills fan wishlist. That kind of petty competitive juice is sorely needed. 

 

Oh, the NFL is tilting the field in favor of the Chiefs?! Then get a guy who can chase Mahomes uphill.

Need them to stay healthy too 😂. We seem to be missing our best defensive player pretty much every time we see the chiefs in the playoffs and the chiefs have been freakishly healthy the last few years.  

 

that benford injury was absolutely devastating. if he was announced out leading up to the game I don’t think anyone would’ve predicted a bills win even on these boards

 Proof is in the pudding. We have 2- pro bowlers on offense and none even close on defense. AJ, Boogie, Elam, Groot, Oliver have all been here multiple years and not one pro-bowl. 

 

The last probowler we drafted on defense was Tre, and Beane didnt draft him, so again, show me each and everyone of the players Beane has drafted stats, not these skewed numbers from PFR.

 

And my original argument is that he has failed in the early rounds of the draft since hes been here, outside of Josh and Cook, which are both on offense.

pro bowl is such a funny way to defend your take lol

Copy and paste from another thread because it’s just clowns regurgitating the same *****, so maybe I should too:

 

PRO BOWL?! You're seriously citing the PRO BOWL? Russell Wilson was named to the Pro Bowl this year - what a credible way to evaluate his performance. 

 

You're flat-out wrong about Buffalo. I can name players too! CB Taron Johnson—All-Pro—taken in the 4th round in 2019. "D captain Nick Bolton"? How about D captain Terrel Bernard, whom Buffalo found in the 3rd round in 2022. Spencer Brown (3rd round), James Cook (2nd round) and Christian Benford (6th round). Should I continue? Because I can.

 

Now, let's not even start on Trey Smith. He was a consensus top-3 round talent, but teams took him off their boards due to medical concerns. Want to tell me how medical evaluations work in pro sports? Be my guest—I promise one of us actually knows, and the other doesn’t.

 

You want to call Greg Rousseau a reach at 30? Cool. What a wild way to evaluate someone who was a top-10 edge rusher in 2024. Speaking of "reaches," how’s Kingsley Suamataia doing? Didn’t he get benched for three different LT options? What’s Felix Anudike-Uzomah up to? His first two seasons are worse than Boogie Basham’s. But go ahead, hype up drafting Skyy Moore and Clyde Edwards-Helaire while you're at it. 
 

Fans like me can think rationally instead of spinning narratives to cope with not being Kansas City. Newsflash: I want to win too. I actually agree—good is the enemy of great. But that’s not the issue here. The real conversation? All-Time is the enemy of great. That’s the part you just can’t comprehend.

Care to expand on this for a curious mind?

Athletic Training Staff

 

This team manages the day-to-day health and medical needs of the players and staff within the facility.

• Nathan Breske – Head Athletic Trainer
  • Numerous administrative duties
  • Coordinates with doctors, surgeons, HR, and insurance
  • Leads medical reviews ahead of the draft
  • Flags any medical concerns from player reports (NFL, Combine, College)
• Denny Kellington – Associate Head Athletic Trainer
• Tabani Richards & Marissa Figueroa – Assistant Athletic Trainer
  • Likely the most hands-on with players
  • Responsible for treatments, rehab, and daily medical care

Team Doctors

 

These are practicing medical professionals who dedicate time to working with the team. Their primary responsibility is to assess flagged medical concerns and provide final determinations on player health.

• Leslie Bisson, MD – Head Team Physician (Leads the group)
• Thomas White, MD
• Andrew Cappuccino, MD
• Marc Fineberg, MD
• Mark Kim, DO
• Joseph Kowalski, MD
• William Wind, MD

Medical Review & Decision Process

1. The Athletic Training Staff collects and reviews player medicals from various sources (NFL, Combine, Colleges).
2. Nathan Breske identifies and flags any concerns.
3. The flagged cases are escalated to Dr. Bisson (Head Team Physician) for further review.
4. The Team Doctors make the final decision on a player’s medical status.
5. If a doctor is uncomfortable with a player’s medicals, the team typically defers to their judgment in decision-making.

 

This structure ensures a collaborative process where athletic trainers handle daily player care, while team doctors have the final say on medical concerns, especially those impacting roster decisions.

Love the player, but these kinds of blockbuster trades almost never work out for the team getting the player. 

 

You have to give up so much and all it takes is an injury and you're screwed. 

 

I'd rather find someone in FA and hit on DL in the draft unless the price was reasonable, which, why would it be?

[BillsFanForever19]

Hopefully this isn't an indication that he's been told he isn't going anywhere....

For 8 years we've swung and missed on a game wrecking DLineman.  The only other option is go after Koonce and overpay for Rousseau.  I trust a motivated Maxx over these other options.

It’s not. Is it asking too much to hit the Time Machine and do your plan this season so 2025 at the Rich will be 10/11 more SB celebrations?

I don't get all the talk about Malcolm Koonce. He has a total of 11 starts in 3 years and is coming off a torn ACL where he hasn't played a down since 12/31/23. If the guy didn't go to UB, no one would be mentioning him.

Thanks for this insight into training/med staff.

 

Of the Drs, I only know William Wind (his team worked on my knee). Great surgeon, great guy.

 

Side story: SB-era Bills chief Orthopedist was Richard Weiss, a sort of pioneer in ACL reconstruction. As a teen, he did mine; Dr Wind (noted above) was really impressed how well it held up.
