He said he gets amped for it when I asked him about that last week.

What’s your opinion of Slaughter?
Christopher Carter
8:57
OK practice squad slot CB. But no chance they keep him.
Mr Rooney
8:57
Smith got caught waaayy inside. ouch!
JeffB

Sawyer went out- Davis came in… physically. Still waiting on the mentally. lol
Christopher Carter

I'd also add that Eli Heidenreich would be more interesting for them to keep than Kaden Wetjen.
Bud

I agree on Slaughter. No chance. I didn’t imply that he would make the team. Just asked your opinion. Ty.

CC, love ya buddy and your courage to ask tough questions that other local beats don’t.
Christopher Carter

Patrick Graham hit me with the "you always ask SPECIFIC questions" last Saturday lol
9:01
Drew Allar goes deep but ball is too short and the coverage is good. Steelers to punt.
Ron
9:01
Worried about defense back field, Ramsey just coming back & no Porter signing
Christopher Carter
9:02
With a new defense, two starting CBs who didn't practice in it all summer, along with Jaquan Brisker missing most of camp and still not back ... yeah. Serious concerns.

Chris has anyone stood out on special teams? I can’t tell. I have seen the special teams, not be quite as good as last year but I’m sure they’re not playing all the guys they’re gonna be starting on special teams at this point. Have you seen anything in practice that encourages you or worries you?
Christopher Carter
9:04
Robert Spears-Jennings. Big reason he'll make the roster.
9:05
Jacoby Windman with a STICK of a hit.

He's been good all camp. But there's just too many ILBs on this team to like for him to make it. Good practice squad candidate though.
Cashman
9:05
Terrible coverage on NFL network. Too many interviews and joking around in the booth.  We want to see the game!!!
Christopher Carter
9:07
D'Shawn Jamison with good coverage on Skyler Bell there on the deep ball. Bell is a good WR prospect with good speed so for Jamison to run with him and break it up, that's impressive.

Way to fight through the hands. That's what you teach in the classroom.
9:08
Kaden Wetjen runs into former Pitt CB Tamon Lynum on the return. Oof.
Mr Rooney
9:08
agreed. coverage sux. dont care about there new stadium or player interviews!
John from Cambridge
9:08
Totally agree Cashman.  TERRIBLE!!
Sunner in Orlando from Lebo
9:08
Cashman, it is the Buffalo broadcast so they’re not gonna just focus on the game when it’s not interesting to them with all these third and four stringers. I agree though coverage is not good.
AB Normalville
9:08
Wetjen having a rough night.
The Ham
9:08
Agree on NFL coverage.  To much Bills announcers and nonosense
Mr Rooney
9:08
Really? DB's should become a strength...no? Better starters (assuming Porter signs) and depth with Samuel's and Echols. Practice with JPJ would be better I agree. But worried?!??
Christopher Carter
9:09
On paper, it makes sense.

But that was before Porter and Ramsey missed all of camp, and Brisker, Echols and Elliott also missed most of it.

This is a new defense. I think they might have a learning curve.

Do we make anything of Broderick Jones still in there, quite late in preseason game 3
Christopher Carter
9:12
Not really. He needs a lot of work after missing so much time and he's still getting his strength back.
Mr Rooney
9:12
fair points. especially with new defense.
Bedford
9:12
I love MM, but drafting wetjen in 4th is fireable offense lol
Sunner in Orlando from Lebo
9:12
I think they’re running back. Johnson is gonna get cut.
Good footwork by Allar on that throw!
Nice Ole block by Jones!
Seven
9:12
Great chat, Chris. Your statement about the secondary woes, plus the unsettled OL, does not indicate an 11-win team to me.
Jewelsongs
9:12
Allar looks good.
Mr Rooney
9:14
Allar looks much more poised this week.
Car Pelt
9:14
good heavens Broderick
TJ
9:14
Jones beaten badly, again.
Mr Rooney
9:14
OT is painful to watch this preseason. Need a miracle in development in the two weeks before start of the season. Rodgers might get decapitated.
Stairway to seventh seed
9:14
Broderick Jones can’t possibly make the roster can he?  His career collapsed after a good rookie year.
Christopher Carter
9:14
I fully expect Jones to make it. He's still getting his strength back after the injury.

Now as far as playing time ....
