Both the Bills and Lions sat all of their starters Thursday, which meant a heavy dose of players fighting for their NFL lives.

One player who helped his cause? Merrill Noel. The 5-foot-10, 197-pound cornerback out of Wake Forest blasted Lions wide receiver Jeremy Ross with so much force that when Ross hit the turf, the ball ricocheted straight into the air to teammate Ron Brooks, who returned it 81 yards for a touchdown. Noel also combined with linebacker IK Enemkpali to crunch Kellen Moore on one pass.

It’ll be tough for Noel to make the cut. The longer 6-foot-1 Mario Butler has worked with the No. 2 defense most of the summer, though he was the one beat on Moore’s 64-yard touchdown to TJ Jones.

Elsewhere, it was a rough night for the backup offensive linemen. Richardson was beat badly on a third-down sack in the red zone at the end of the first half. And after a rocky start to training camp, offensive coordinator Greg Roman must be feeling a lot better about his tight ends behind starter Charles Clay. Since his drop against Carolina, MarQueis Gray has caught everything thrown his way, including one 21-yarder in stride Thursday night.

This season of Hard Knocks is pretty good. Bill O'Brien seems like the real deal, JJ Watt comes off as a huge tool, and Cushing Is the ultimate meat head.

Think so? I think he comes off as a dude, unlike so many other tools in the NFL, completely committed to making the most of his time as a pro player.

Edited: meant cool dude

The "other bros" (whether it is the NFL as an entity or Brady himself as an employee of an NFL team) are all paying with money from the NFL's TV revenue, which is paid by its sponsors, which is paid for by corresponding increased prices of the products promoted. So every time phan buys his Doritos or anything else advertising on NFL airtime he throws a penny or two into the NFL, which makes its way down to pay for this case. So he probably paid more via the "other bros" than through his tax dollars in this particular situation.

At least he may get the chance to play for a legit franchise.
 
Dawg, the bills haven't been to the playoffs since the 90s
