I think Hines has all the speed and elusiveness that McKenzie has on a bigger frame. McKenzie’s deal is much easier to get out of after this season than Hines’s contract. I believe the Bills see Hines as a punt and kick returner/gadget player moving forward.

You think Hines could take the “gadget” plays McKenzie has been running?

McKenzie just isn’t the answer at slot… Hope more time on task leads to Shakir and Hines getting touches.

I hear McD and Allen saying what a great teammate he is, this helped shed some light on what they mean. Seems like a positive, good person who understands the game. I like at the end where he says, “that’s one in Detroit, got to get another one”.

This just feels like the place he will end up.

I hope, Detroit has two very good tackles.

Compound it with the fact that the ref’s later called a face mask Against the Bills. That call involved a Brown player who wasn’t even the ball carrier.

I was thinking about this exact set of skill players too. I wonder if maybe Davis replaces Diggs on some plays, my thought process is Davis is a very good blocker and a deep threat. Lure the D in thinking it’s a run or a quick pass to Hines/Cook and Davis runs over the top.

Yep, video does a great job showing how scheme and talent matter. Hamlin had a few bad plays and Frazier had a few bad calls, overall Hamlin is showing tremendous progress and capable of allowing the Bills to not need to replace 2 safeties in the next couple of years.

And if Hines is running maybe he can makeup for the block being missed.

I like the call, like the play, would like to see Hines get a shot at that play.

“Guys, we got to figure out how to get Hines touches on offense” -overheard in the offensive coaches meeting this week.

McD handled this amazingly.

I have a feeling your experience flying is much different than a professional football players while traveling w his team.

Timing is everything.

It sounds like your priorities are shifting, which in this case is to your family. Your daughter will help you see what really matters. I have a 3 year old son and hanging out with him after a game makes me feel complete, way more than watching the Bills win a SB ever will. It will be great when it happens and I will feel amazing about the team’s accomplishment, but with your family it’s your accomplishment.

I hope McD is involved w this play call for the D

Our coaches must feel that the backups can’t handle a different formation than the nickel, otherwise I’m not sure what the excuse is.

Frazier has shown that he will NOT come out of the nickel.

Sloppy

Let’s go Oline! Your captain needs everything you got today!

Brown is a second year player from a smaller school with excellent athletic traits; Q is a backup swing tackle who is average at best. Get the young guy the reps.

Marlowe makes sense, I wonder if Lewis is getting anytime at safety this week. I’m assuming not, because it would have been reported…or maybe everyone is distracted with Josh’s elbow and the other injuries.

3 of the 5 preferred starters on oline missed time in the Miami game. Quessenberry looks like a serviceable swing tackle. Brown has a far greater ceiling.
