    I don’t know this for a fact, but I can surmise from their offseason that they felt missed tackles were a problem in 2019.

     

    Phillips missed 11 tackles last year; that’s an absurd amount for a guy that played 543 snaps. For comparison’s sake, everyone’s favorite whipping boy—Star Lotuleilei—missed 3 tackles in 482 snaps.

     

    The guy that will most likely replace Jordan, Vernon Butler, missed only 2 tackles in 440 snaps in 2019.

    How many of the snaps did Star make it to the ball carrier?  Shouldn't you look at attempted tackles instead of snaps.

    This year the Bills will be the odds-on favorite to win the AFCE. This will put McDermott in a new expectation tier.  I,for one, think he is up for it. But it will be interesting to see how he handles his team and the media in this uncommon territory for a Bills head coach.

    As of right now the Bills and Patriots are both projected to win 9 games.  If the Patriots land a name WB they will once again be favored to win the East.

    I don’t think this means that. This is the replacement for Waddle. He also can play anywhere on the line. Might mean Bates is fighting for a job. 

    Could be.  He's a former pro bowler though.  If he is healthy he might out perform Ford.  If that happens I don't see a starting spot for Ford.
