31 teams inquired about Burns last year before the deadline.

McD sees defensive prospects like few others. Milano might have been out of the league with his measurable rather than an all-pro if he did not wind up with McD. Also, Poyer, Hyde, Benford, Bernard, Johnson, Jackson, etc. The team needed to get younger, cheaper, and less injury-prone. I would like to see McD use this as an opportunity to develop as many young prospects as possible, raiding other practice squads for players he has been tracking.

AJE may already be a top 15 pass rusher entitled to the market value that brings. If I’m AJE, my negotiating stance is that I was already a break-through 10 sack player in 2022 but that was disguised by the fact that I was limited to 30 PERCENT (!!!) of the snaps due to McDs rotation (he had 6.5 sacks playing 30 percent of the snaps). This may be our first loss of a disruptive player whose stats were artificially diminished due to McDs DL rotation system.

I think it was clear that carting off two great players in the first 5 minutes deflated the offense. Can’t write off the whole season, with 20 games every good team is bound to lose 1-4 key players.

Jack O’Nicklaus?

Guess Elam was actually worse than he looked, if that’s possible

5) Kingsley Jonathan was the highest rated Bills defensive player yesterday at a 92.1. He had 2 hurries, 1 sack, 2 stops and 1 forced fumble. Epenesa was right behind him at 85.7. I thought Jonathan had a chance to break through. This is great news. How hard is it to grow a legitimate young pass rusher literally out of nowhere, not even spending a 7th rounder.

I’d be willing to give McDermott a whole extra year just based on the evidence that Bernard can really play.

I can’t believe how easily the Bills O fell for the “let them catch it short and converge” D. Looks like a blueprint. They were baiting Allen with a wide open pass catcher short every play and he took the bait time after time.

He couldn’t put any weight on it in camp. Might not be able to until 2024, when he’s 35

Bernard was running around like a chicken with his head cut off most of last year. That’s my primary source of hope for Elam.

3 drops 3 drive stops = no different than a turnover. So disgusting.

I’m not sure a week 8-10 activation would have been better.

This is why I would not rule out the possibility of Hackett making Zach serviceable-plus down the stretch.

That sounds like the number for second half of 2022 after Von went down

Fallon worked hard to get great reviews his first six months on the job when everyone was watching closely, then has been mailing it in ever since.

Man how many of those hits would still be legal today!

I think it has something to do with the veterans not wanting the rookie to think he has the best hands on the team.

I put this in the category of Bruce Smith’s practice schedule 1985-1999. He’s earned the right to do whatever he wants.

Jonathan would be signed elsewhere the second he was put on the practice squad.

When Quessenberry actually got signed to an active roster, I knew the bottom had totally dropped out on tackles, setting the stage for pass rushing dominance like we’ve seen from the Bills this year. Thankfully we have promising trainees like VanDemark in the mix.

The talent level on this team is really increasing, how many TEs could make that run let alone the catch, maybe not even the aging TK I saw Sunday night.

38-10, 37-3, 48-20

I think the analytics department armed with irrefutable data demanded changes from mcbeane after the season. Part of the changes were limit the drops so they targeted a journeyman 3 and 4 who do not drop. Another part of the changes were limiting penalties especially chunk yardage PI. That’s where Elam got the axe.

Harty making something out of nothing for the first down. He’s not making all pro, but what an upgrade over ‘lol dirty. No negative plays.
