Kincaid will get close to 120 targets. Cook will get close to 75. I think they are the actual drivers of the offense. Much less Wr centric than years past. People were looking for Edmunds replacement. Benard didn't fit that mold. Coleman, Shakir, Samuel 1 for 1 are not Diggs. In the roles designed, the offense may be more effective without a player being as prolific.

It is apparent that Diggs is all about Diggs, which is fine, but this strategy has its pit falls when dealing with others…

there should be a poll with the question --Do we even care?

This is exactly what I think, and I'm regularly amazed that fans are so perplexed by moves McBeane make. They don't do haphazard. They don't do spur of the moment. They don't do wild-ass guess. They study and think and plan, then challenge everyone in the organization to execute. For example, I think it's pretty impressive how they've built an offensive line. Pretty much everyone here, including me, complained regularly about the oline five years ago. I was watching one of the Josh career-highlight videos, and over and over again on the backs of offensive linemen I saw names I didn't even remember. I think a very good argument can be made that the roster has improved every season, including the wide receiver roster this season. And if my Aiyuk pipedream becomes reality, there will be no question.

Was he ever at voluntary OTAs for the Bills? He got a lot of PR for the 2020 "no OTAs 'cuz Covid" off season We know he wasn't there for the 2022 or 2023 OTAs until mandatory minicamp, In 2023 he was at Fashion Week and Coachella I don't remember 2021

Didn’t realize OTAs were mandatory. 🤷🏻♂️

QOD: What NFL rules changes would you like to see?
Alphadawg7 replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
While I agree that there could be some adjustments made, its a very challenging problem to deal with. What you don't want to do is make it worth it for DB's to just tackle or blatantly commit PI on every deep throw because the penalty is far less severe than the catch being made would be. It would completely eliminate deep ball throwing as a DB would just grab any WR starting to run by them rather than get beat for a TD or just severely interfere on what looks to be a sure catch if not. On the flip side, you don't want it to be something so easily exploited by a QB to bail a team out by heaving a ball down field to try and get PI called. To me, there is one BIG culprit in this regard, and that is the PI that is called when a ball is short and the defender is in the path of the WR trying to reach back or jump back towards the ball. And quite honestly that is the MOST exploited play from an offensive point of view. QB's know that if they throw behind the WR and DB that PI is highly more likely unless the DB gets their head around on a throw they don't even know is coming or coming short. Result is incidental contact by the DB who has forward momentum running while a WR is reaching back or trying to jump up and reach back to get the ball. To no fault of the DB, it causes contact that creates an automatic PI call unless he managed to time it perfect and get his head around to make a play on the ball, something very difficult to know and do as they most often don't know the ball is there or short. So that is where I would start. I would eliminate automatic PI calls where a downfield WR makes contact with the DB trying to come back for the ball. I would only allow PI to be called there if the DB intentionally holds, tackles, etc, and not throw a flag because the DB and WR incidentally collide because the ball is short of the WR and he is trying to reach back for the ball. You take that out, and downfield PI calls will go way down. You could also make the PI call at the spot of the foul, or 20 yards, which ever is less. 5 yards is wayyyyy too little and so is 10 yards to discourage blatant PI on deeper throws. Im not sure you need to change it being at the spot of the foul if you take away the cheep PI calls which are the ones thrown behind the DB and WR and get called because of the incidental contact. -
I'm just curious and I can't find an answer to the question anywhere. How many millions of people do advocates of mass immigration into the US think is the proper level? 20 million, 30 million, 500 million? How many people should we welcome in and support? Should we welcome the entire world's population of 8 billion into the country? At what number of people do we reach "full capacity"?

Xavier Worthy injured during 1st practice as a Chief
Starr Almighty replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall
When I look at this player I see John Ross (Bengals) hopefully it works out just as well. -
Are you Hispanic? How many Hispanic posters on here consider themselves "brown"? Are you "brown"? I think that by your definition I'm 50% brown, and I think you have no idea what you are talking about. Are Asians brown to you? How about Chinese people? How about Russian people? Because all of the above are entering this country illegally.

Oh for sure. He's 29 years old, his calling cards have been speed, quickness and availability. At 29, Father Time is gonna catch up to him Real Soon Now. He got out-played by Colts rookie Josh Downs last season (Downs is looking like a potential steal of a 3rd round pick). It actually wouldn't surprise me if McKenzie didn't make the Giants final 53, but I haven't been following the Giants roster enough to know what the competition is

Well, I haven't watched film or studied him, and I wouldn't know what to make of it if I did watch film, but I've been optimistic about him, too, since the day the Bills took him. All of what you say is what I've thought, especially the stuff about his college pedigree. There's little question that guys with good experience in elite programs like Alabama and Georgia can play, and play early, in the NFL. It was true to a lesser extent during Clemson's run, too. On the other hand, as an abstract matter, no one thinks a fifth round rookie interior lineman to be a day one starter. If the only reason he fell to day three is that he has no position flexibility, well, then I'd say some GMs aren't thinking about their team well enough. Of course Beane, who needed an interior lineman, took a rotational DT in the third round instead of VPG, so he must have some questions about VPG, too. It continues to amaze me that with almost every pick Beane got a player who has a seriously good chance of playing more than token snaps in his rookie season.

Rd 2, Pick 33: WR Keon Coleman, Florida State
BuffaloBillyG replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall
Honestly, the WR debates remind me a lot of the MLB debates from last off season. You both hit the nail on the head, I think, when you say they like what they have for now. There are questions from the outside for sure. But I have to believe from what I've seen them do in the past that they aren't just throwing 💩 at the wall hoping it sticks. There is a plan and I'm sure the plan is based around what Joe Brady believes he can get from this group. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it shakes out. I do think at least one or two of these cast of WRs steps up. -
Does it require a whole lot of practice to run out eight yards and turn around?
