I think the back probably plays a part in that (although his pad level was concerning even in 2023).

I think TJ Sanders is going to be a beast even in limited playing time. When Ed started to play well down the stretch last year the difference in our defense was noticeable and when he came off the field the interior penetration was non-existent. I think signing Ogunjobi and drafting Sanders tells you Beane knows that. I can well imagine an offensive line that has spent all game trying to hold off Ed just relaxing slightly thinking the job is done and then TJ eating. TJ to out sack Ed in fewer snaps is definitely one of my bolds for next year.... and the board will totally over react as a result with "cut Ed he is a bum!" But Milton Williams had more sacks than Jalen Carter last season. It doesn't mean he is better. There is just an opportunity for those rotational guys when the first choice rush package has worn a line down.

The two most obvious one's that I must post.

Walker has a bad habit of being really slow to set himself up at the line. Often he’s just lowering himself down to his stance and by then the ball is snapped causing him to not be in position to attack. He already shoots out of his stance high and now he’s already half way up when the ball is snapped Hopefully the Bills can coach him to get down and ready earlier .

I have never in my lifetime experienced a collection of appointees as unqualified for their posts as we have right now under the Trump administration. Good luck

I hate that stupid song so I liked this version better. Screw the haters.

He still does NFL Locked On Scouting with Kyle Crabbs. But I listened to a couple of episodes this year and they are definitely doing fewer really detailed breakdowns on prospects than the used to. To be honest it feels a it like they have mailed it in and are keeping going for the sake of keeping going because the Locked On network wants them to. It's a shame because when they were part of The Draft Network they did some really good stuff. I mean that place's demise was pretty predictable - running an expensive draft website with full time employees when you are really only driving serious levels of engagement 3 to 4 months of the year - which affects your advertising revenues etc - was never going to be straightforward. Even before you get into some of the personalities tied in with it. But it definitely feels like post the collapse there Joe has turned his attention away from the draft stuff and on to Locked On Bills.

Another random factoid- there is a tape splice in Take Five. The two pieces of tape were taped together. You can hear the slight skip on a good system played loud, or with headphones

This is a fun part though- How can you not feel the passion for journalism just oozing through his bones... per AI: Rupert Murdoch has not written any books or significant works of literature under his own name. While he has penned annual letters to stockholders, these are primarily business-related and do not represent creative writing. A New Yorker article mentioned an aborted autobiography. Beyond having zero passion for anything related to actual journalism, I'm not going to get into his personal stuff. He is a businessperson out to create personal wealth with no regard for anything else. I think it's called a sociopath.

What in the world could Adams have presented that saved his job? His playoff record? Eye for talent? Wins versus loses? Thankfully pegs did hire a real GM for the Bills.

Sorry, looks like Josh more than Dalton. Even if it is Dalton, grainy pic.

There is no larger veteran that is an upgrade from Daquan Jones available. Cut him and we're rolling with just Walker at 1T (with the occasional pass rush package of Sanders next to Oliver) and Carter. If they were going to move on from Jones this offseason, they'd have either a.) been more proactive in signing a veteran 1T to replace him early in FA and/or b.) Would have Drafted someone in the first couple Rounds. If he were to be cut before the season started, it's pretty likely he would represent the top 1T on the market. Teams don't cut starting quality 1T's coming out of camp very often.

Yeah, you gotta guy who says he can see a difference in 2 guys when one is one inch shorter and 5 lbs heavier. There’s a job for him at the carnival.

Yes, he did have a harder time this year but again, the finger injuries really contributed. Drop rate isn't perfect either, nothing is. There's always a question about whether something was a drop or a bad throw. It's not always clear. But it's probably the best single stat we've got, certainly better than catch percentage. Except for last year, when again he had hand injuries, he's shown terrific hands, not just good but excellent.

Two takeaways: 1. I love TJ Sanders but the last two times Beane has taken someone in round 2 and then said "we'd have considered them in round 1" were Cody Ford and Boogie Basham..... let's hope third time lucky! 2. Can I see some more of Jordan Hancock with his shirt off please? I was a bit down on Bills crushes in 2024. Glad to see Brandon restocking for me 😄.

I don’t doubt it. Just off the top of my head, he had what should’ve been a drop in the Broncos game (Bills rushed to the line of scrimmage and got the play off), had a first down drop in the Baltimore game that went through his hands as he slid, had another contested drop in the same game, and had the crucial drop in the AFC Championship. For someone who supposedly had the best hands in the draft, he wasn’t nearly as sure handed as I’d expect from someone with that billing.

Get some fresh air, my dude.

Nice cynicism. Some of us are just stronger minded than your average North Carolina Disney fan- cue Pope Francis, not his 'handlers'. Personal story related- there's absolutely no way my Mom didn't stave off death until 45 minutes into December 26th- so she didn't die on my sister's birthday. Go see a national park or something- sounds like you need it. Oh, wait, they're probably all bulldozed by now... What's with it with my fellow American citizens cheering on ugliness and cynicism in my own country?

One of the most amazing stats and why you really have to dig deep to make the argument that Josh deserved MVP over Lamar (who was also awesome last season) imo was that through the first 16 games Josh only took 15 sacks which has been done only 17 times in NFL history through 16 games. The first time since 2009. Even more impressive is they had the fewest combined turnovers and sacks through a team's first 16 games ever with 22. The next closest was the Titans in 2009 with 29. To me that's a QB stat, a play caller stat, a fundamental coaching stat, and an offensive line stat. Josh only being sacked 8.2% of the time when pressured is just stupidly efficient. You can't call last year's offense historic when you finish 10th in yards last season but you can when it comes to avoiding negative plays.
