All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Some people say “ oh it’s gonna hurt Elams growth”
The way I see it. It’s the nfl, if you can’t handle being beat out then you won’t make it anyways. I think it’s a great look for the team to show every player, that if you show you’re better you’ll play, regardless of draft position/contract.

Will be great if they both turn out great. Could be the end of Tre if they do.
Probably not, maybe one of them mover to the safety position if they don’t extend Poyer?
I'm just hoping Tre comes back to his previous level. If he does, they have great options for the next 4 years at least (all 3 are signed through 2025).
Draft status should mean a lot less once the contracts are signed and the pads get strapped on. Put the best 11 on the field. If we can get significant contributions from rookie 1st AND 6th round picks right off the bat, that's a good thing.
I don't have any issue with this, however I'm not a fan of how McD is handling Cook. Should have put the kid back into the game and given him the ball when the outcome was determined, at the very least.

I disagree. You get punished for fumbling as a rookie. He should not play 1st half vs tennessee either. After that let him play to send the message
Benford may be ahead right now, but you don't know yet how one or both will develop. It's a good problem to have. It's not like Elam has done anything wrong, it's just that Benford is showing a lot right now.
No one (as far as I know) is saying that “oh it’s gonna hurt Elam's growth” It’s not that big a deal that Benford was on the field first and neither Elam or Benford has “beat out” the other.
They virtually split playing time, the way it was planned. The strategy was to give each player two defensive series at a time. Platoon style.
McDermott does NOT like to play rookies too much, or put too much pressure on them, unless he has to.
I’m ecstatic that the Bills may have found TWO capable CB’s with loads of potential.

For sure. I just mean I like the fact, the staff isn’t stubborn to start the 1st rounder even if they think the 6th rounder is better right now. Sends a good message that if you work hard to show it’ll be noticed and awarded

Cook should "volunteer" to carry the football around with him - EVERYWHERE, and whenever it gets knocked out, he does 100 burpees... IMMEDIATELY.

Absolutely the correct decision!!
Starters earn it period!!
“It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why.”
"It may be raining but there's a rainbow above you" Former President Donald Trump early Thursday touted the results of a new NPR/PBSNewsHour/Marist pollshowing him ahead of President Joe Biden by 8 percentage points among independents.
Look how good the secondary looks with the front 4 getting pressure.
Hopefully the D line can continue to do what they did against the Rams. If they do there is no one who is going to beat them but themselves.
We have probably the best DL rotation in the league and it's going to pay huge dividends!

I'm on the fence about Cook, my first thought was what you said. My second thought was that not playing him reflected a stone cold determination to win this game,a sign that perhaps McDermott has taken the step.
Benford/Elam on the other hand, is a good problem to have.
There will be plenty of snaps for Cook to build confidence. This would be one of those times it would be appropriate for McDermott to tell Cook, "s'ok kid, next week is a fresh game."

They put Cook back out there in the second half. He got two more plays but no carries or targets.
