Who Was Better: Bruce Smith or Reggie White
brianthomas replied to Phil The Thrill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In todays NFL you see teams valuing the RT position more than in years past. Surely more than in the era when Bruce & Reggie played. Offenses back then put their best tackle in the LT spot. If its the premiere position on the OLine today, it was even more so back then. When you factor in Bruce playing in a 3-4 & going against the best tackles week in & week out, it really is impressive seeing how dominant Bruce was. Its a close call & both are legendary players, but when you compare the 2, you absolutely need to compare their competition & schemes. Reggie had it better on both those fronts imo. -

NFL awards 2021, 2023 drafts to Cleveland, Kansas City
brianthomas replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It'd be nice if every city in the NFL got a chance to host the draft. Seems only fair & right imo. Every team could showcase the NFL to their cities but also those individual cities would be showcased to the larger NFL audience as well. Its something that makes so much sense, its obviously not the way its done. Better for cities to lobby to the NFL to host the event. I wonder how much money gets thrown around during this selection process. But yeah its cool Cleveland will get a shot to host it. Good for them. Lots of buzz circling around Cleveland these days. -
I kinda have to agree with you here. I wasnt thrilled with the Kroft signing in the 1st place & I definitely was against signing Murphy. We had/have the cap space to blow i suppose, but we've committed good money to players who so far have struggled to stay on the field. Kroft very well could come back in 3 months, but who's to say his foot is gonna be any stronger than it was before? If anything one could presume it'd be worse off, after breaking it again, (in a non contact environment no less). Really wish we went after someone else to begin with. But since we own Kroft for awhile, I wish him a speedy recovery & hope for the best like always lol. It'll be interesting to see if Beane does his due diligence & plans for the worst & targets Rudolph or another TE.

I havent read the article but I would think they respect our fans & even how hard our team plays them. They may even show us respect because they respect every team they play enough to play them hard week in & week out. Not sleeping on an opponent is maybe 1 way they've continued to beat the teams they were supposed to beat. They've been THE team to beat for the past decade. They're professional & a team like that should respect other teams their playing, we should too. In my opinion I don't make much of Waddle's statement, other than it makes sense that they would respect us to some degree.

We're building the offense around the passing attack
brianthomas replied to VW82's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The evidence being the acquisitions of Frank Gore, TJ Yeldon & drafting Devin Singletary in the 3rd round surely show a change of philosophy to becoming a passing team? Not to mention picking up a couple tight ends known for their blocking? Seriously I don't think you can say our team is heavily favored in 1 direction over the other. With signing Beasley & Brown, it just looks like we want to have a well rounded offense & surround Josh Allen with whoever can help him. But if i had to say 1 way or the other as far as the balance of our offense, we look to be focused on running the ball 1st more than anything. But it will be a balanced attack imo. -
Isn't this what fans wanted, especially after we picked up Tyree? For DA to retire & perhaps move over to coaching? I for one think this is good for the Bills. Frees up that roster spot & ends on DA's terms. Wish him good luck on his next moves & hope he stays on to help Josh. if not so be it

6’4 WR Derek Kief, Alabama tryout with the Bills
brianthomas replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My friend has a 10 ton pollen press called The Sasquash. If u google The Sasquash Press & see the companies website, you can probably guess from there I'd go into more detail about Keith but idk if thats against the TOS here PS, i'm all about bringing in WR's who can improve our team! -

It'd be great if along with this kid, the Sabres went out & signed Sheldon Keefe so both franchises can enjoy the kief Get er done! -
I now understand why the Bills passed on DK Metcalf
brianthomas replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All these people here saying "he has a high ceiling". What makes you think that? Because the guy has big muscles? Or is it from being imprinted by the media frenzy around him? Perhaps claiming a guy has a high ceiling amounts to saying he's either gonna make it or he's not. But thats not what a high ceiling means. DK is a gym rat, has big muscles & can run really fast, in a straight line. Maybe its his muscles that hurt his agility, isn't that kind of the rub on big guys like that? They don't have the flexibility to make quick lateral moves or twitches? His production at Ole Miss was decent but nothing many other wr's havent had more of. As a specimen, he mustve dominated most others at his level, yet he didnt dominate at Ole Miss, but people expect him to in the NFL? And like many have mentioned, he doesn't run the full route tree. So once again, why do people still insist he has a high ceiling? I'd really like to know. Its the muscles isn't it? That picture of him shirtless really made an impact -
he's a confident kid thats for sure. Prior to the combine process he was talking about being drafted in the 3rd to 4th rounds, even earlier. Not to say he was correct in thinking that way & in hindsight he wasn't, but dude's got some confidence in his abilities for sure. If he adds some muscle & works hard, there's definitely room for him to make this team, given the lack of depth we have at that position

RD 5, Pick 147: LB Vosean Joseph, University of Florida
brianthomas replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Maybe he meant Takeo Spikes lol -
the thing that i take from all this is that thank god we won't have any more prediction threads about the draft after tomorrow. Now we can move on to arguing about who will start where & who will get cut/traded instead!

RD 3, Pick 96: TE Dawson Knox, Ole Miss
brianthomas replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Did Josh Allen have great production from Wyoming? Were you down on him too because he didnt put up 40 tds? Theres more to the NFL than college stat lines. Sure they give you some kind of indication of what to expect, but we've seen cases where great college stats mean doink in the NFL & vice versa. His measurables & numbers from his pro day are off the charts, some approaching elite level. He was projected by some to be a 1st rd talent, others 2nd rd. He's big, fast, had a good ypc & can block as well. He imo was the 4th best TE prospect in the draft. For that time in the draft, you weren't gonna get any one better at TE. And the Bills valued other positions as a greater need or value than TE for their earlier picks. So I'm just happy we got what we needed. So far another solid draft, GO BILLS!
