He's the Bills' version of Risto with the fan base. You know where I stand. It's an opinion, nothing more nothing less

Mitts will resume skating today. Rehab. Last week, he was "weeks" away.

We'll find out if Okposo, Krebs and Tuch return to practice today. They will not play tonight regardless. Fitzgerald is back, Quinn will play with Cozens, and we still have three really great goalies.

Spot on with the Risto comp. Though I think he's better at his job than Risto by some margin.
- lacaprup

He's a specimen and extremely athletic, but it doesn't seem as if he thinks the game well enough to maximize those traits.

Jets Oline was horrible, no running game really to worry about. Edmunds gets eaten by decent Olines and his reads in zone coverage are bad

hopefully Mitts can stay healthy... he really needs to work on strength and conditioning this upcoming offseason.

just dont think his injury healed right. the rehab failed, so the surgery should do the trick here.

And they were wrong then and are wrong still.

Star hasn't been there this year either, and guess what Edmunds is still good.

but hey he missed a few tackles and sometimes gets blocked by 300+ lb offensive lineman.

I mean Fred Warner would never let that happen........

Edmunds makes some boneheaded mistakes because he lacks confidence in his first reads, he hesitates sometimes. Overall, he's an extremely effective and intelligent MLB. It's fair to say he's a top 10-12 MLB.
- TheSabresTaco


The question is whether or not he's willing to be paid as such, and not a top 5 MLB.

Would be great to finally see what they have in him. So many questions on him and Olofsson

i think there are bigger questions on Mitts since he has struggled to stay healthy. But he has looked good at times this season when healthy. they could use him moving forward in the middle six

tackles for loss or no gain last three season ranks.

1) Bobby Wagner
2) Tremaine Edmunds.

Democrats loved it when Trump was prez. Shut down the whole country and anyone who said covid wasn't that deadly was attacked. I remember reading only 6% of covid deaths were from only covid.

50% of the people in the ICU were there for something else but had covid. The issue is hospitals get extra money for covid deaths. Not sure if that was done on purpose.

If you are under 50 and don't have any health issues its like 99.95% chance of dying and what do you know? Same as the flu.

Now democrats be like meh not so bad.

he does not make near enough impact plays for me


he had that one tackle for a loss vs the jets

I would like to see a few hits like that every game at the line

TJ Watt is a DE, he is listed as a LB, but he is certainly not one.

That would necessitate finding the right hole on a much more consistent basis.

It's all yours.
