I wouldn’t want Josh being hit that way.

Is PFF the site that tried to say Duck was better than Allen?

First of many! Congrats!

I like your break down. I think CB 2 is going to be addressed short term with KJ and long term with a draft pick. I do like your thought that if the Bills sign KJ to a longer deal, it could indicate him shifting to safety later on. I agree that I think McDermott’s system needs to right players to fit into it. They don’t necessarily need to be big money name players, but players that possess the right attitude and talent. I do think this system needs one ‘shut down’ corner. What do you think are the chances Poyer holds out? We have already seen his wife on SM asking for him to get paid. For me that is never a good sign. I agree one more year of Poyer and Hyde together would be nice, but I get the sense Poyer might not want to wait for a long deal. Hate to have any negative energy in a very tight defensive group.

Exactly right. OBJ needs to learn just because you play football and make a lot of money, doesn’t mean you are allowed to break laws.

For me anyone coming out of the SEC with good size for their position, athleticism, durability, and good production should be taken ahead of almost anyone else from a different conference with similar numbers and attributes.

I’ve been to a few others and got to say Paris is pretty amazing. I like Rome more, but I’m also Italian. Lisbon is nice but no where near the preserved history of many other European Cities.

London is a big international city. I did London and then Paris on the same trip. I was amazed how much more l loved Paris. Food, wine, history and architecture are so much more present in Paris.

Do you believe Ford can’t play right tackle? Or that he would be better at guard? Or that he is never going to be an NFL caliber olineman? This. Do you know how many players have ‘clean up’ surgeries after the season is done? What’s more concerning to me, is our two linemen picks From 2019 are posting pictures on SM, like they are kids getting their tonsils taken out and can’t wait for ice cream. Joke!!

This is big for so many teams. SEC just opened back up a little and the NFC South got a little more complicated.

We are on the same page?

Close. Hey doc while you are down there...

Agreed. i feel like KJ might come back for another 1-2 year deal. He knows the system, stayed healthy, and hopefully gets himself some recognition next year opposite White for a bigger long term deal. Meanwhile Beane and McDermott have drafted a youngster to step in after KJ leaves. Spain would be my next one. I feel like he won’t get crazy money and really would help with continuity on the line. Beane structuring a three year deal so Bills can get out in a year or two if Ford does need to kick inside.

@Nihilarian there is a lot to unpack there. I appreciate your thoughts and hard work. First let me say there is zero excuses for starting Peterman.? You can look back at posts by me and see I have not been the strongest supporter of Daboll. I was the poster who suggested that maybe a move to the box for Brian would benefit the offense. I think you are discounting some major things. The OL was an entirely new unit basically with only Dawkins being a returning starter. Having played Oline I can tell you that so much of its performance hinges on the 5 pieces acting as one. I think this group will improve more this next season. To your point about adding more pieces only masking the problem of an inferior OC, I would say, ‘what else are the Bills suppose to do with $90m and 9 draft picks?’. Improvements are needed they will always be needed. I don’t think any team has exactly the same 46 active guys for two years in a row, ever. Those 3-4 players added to the offense could make all the difference. Daboll’s playbook is big, it’s been called the most complicated, by Jon Brown. Brown has been on three different teams. Daboll wants to pull from a large playbook so he can scheme to the opponents weaknesses. I like Daboll back for this next year because I really believe Josh will benefit from it. I think this next season the game will slow down even more for Josh and he will feel more comfortable and trust his playmakers. My two cents.

I really do think we see the offense take a big step forward for two main reasons. First, personnel will be added. Second, continuity under what has been described as a complex playbook that changes week to week based off opponents weaknesses. I also like Daboll back for Josh. This will be Josh’s third season under the same system terms and will be big for him moving forward. Basically this is Josh’s third year of playing against NFL caliber defenses verses college where he played with and against below average college talent consistently. Josh will have a solid foundation moving forward after this third season with Daboll. My hope is our offense looks so good a team has to hire Daboll as it’s HC. McDermott finds a good OC and the offense doesn’t skip a beat.

The only thing I can think is he gets a title promotion and then Butler sees a path to something more. Maybe the hire last week of the Dline coach and former Panthers DC has him questioning if he will get the DC in Buffalo when Leslie moves on.

Better hope not. I don’t think Lamar will hold up for 6 seasons.

Agreed. Great game for the scouts.

Watching Chaisson, so far not impressed.

EH, LSU’s defense wasn’t its typical dominating unit.

Geaux Tigers!!

Bortles is on him for sure. I think he tried to hard his first year to find a QB. I like what Beane and McDermott did. The Foles experiment I feel like was maybe more a Coughlin thing. Dave kind find talent.

Just another day in Pats nation.

Another positive sign.

It will be hard for the Pats to win 8 games due to an offense without a starting caliber QB.
