Right. In wrestling a "job" is a losing wrestling match. A jobber.......or jabroni.......is a guy who carves out a career as a fringe roster wrestler with a very specific, inglorious role. Lee Smith = textbook Jabroni

He could probably go full cat-eye if he moves to NOLA but the endorsement money is in NY

I still remember when Jim Brinson called Josh Mora "Jabroni Josh" on the Empire Sports Network..........Brinson was a character.........Josh was p!ssed!

Right now there are 10 running backs who ran for over 800 yards in 2022 scheduled to hit UFA.............plus another in Joe Mixon will join them when he's likely cut. Probably the most loaded UFA class at one position since the advent of UFA. Bills probably won't be shopping in the top 10-12.........but the next 10-12 producers are all worthy of splitting carries with James Cook and should be $3M cap hit types. If you get a Kareem Hunt or Raheem Mostert in late March after the first wave is over........are you still drafting Bijan?

Lee Smith is perhaps the GOAT of Jabroni's to every play in the NFL.

It's hard to win in the NHL

The writing was on the wall when they waited until after the SB.........Anarumo is aged out.......unless the Jets job comes open next season(NY guy) the Bills are likely stuck having to deal with him as a dedicated DC for a number of years.

They can chip the ball and GPS the entire field grid to determine everything from spots to whether a receiver had both feet down if they want to. Ideally for fans they'd go back to not calling holding on OL like in 2020..........and not allowing much contact with receivers like in 2020-2021. Unfortunately that creates an environment where QB and WR can put up numbers...........and well that drives up the cost of doing business for NFL owners..........and they'd prefer that there is a true hierarchy of QB's and WR's because then they can be slotted appropriately instead of all the 1's getting $50M and $30M aav's. There is no advantage to the NFL to ever get officiating right..........the more subjective it is and the more enraged fans get..........the more emotionally invested fans get in their teams and the more the owners can manipulate what is being called to help keep labor costs under control. Fans have two choices.........take it or like it.

I would guess he wanted to leave. He interviewed for OC with Baltimore so he clearly wants to be an OC...........and he got passed over for the OC job last year and then they hired Joe Brady to the staff also.........so he probably felt blocked in. He should be smelling like a rose next hiring season with Trevor and their cast of productive WR's. Because those guys have $14M and $8M base salaries in 2023, respectively. Jeudy has a $2.6M base salary.

How would that be any less crazy than agreeing to take the Broncos job in the first place? And in the second place........not only knowing they traded away many of their good picks in coming years for Russell Wilson..........but that he was also going to be without the 1st and 2nd round picks that they had to send to the Saints? That whole situation is crazy, IMO. I mean.........I thought it was dumb and wasteful when McDermott took over and didn't franchise Gilmore so they could trade him...........the Broncos have been wasting valuable personnel chips like a desperate NBA team(Lakers for example) the past couple offseasons.

Jeudy is one of the few quality WR's who are a potential trade fit for the Bills because his cap hit is negligible next season. I doubt Payton gives him up.........even for the Bills 1st rounder.........but it's a possibility. If he brings Michael Thomas with him to Denver maybe he decides to cash in Jeudy for some help elsewhere.

No there is nothing on that vague chart that disagrees with my take...........which is that he lacks true breakaway speed.........which he would need to be a "complete" stud at RB. Very good player but still just a RB.

It should be pretty easy to pass........ 1. He's a RB.......their franchise tag # is just $10M for a reason........they aren't valued........and by the draft Beane should have a veteran signed from the mass of good backs available. 2. You just drafted James Cook........you don't use a 1st round pick on a RB and then NOT give him 250-300 touches..........that would defeat the "value" proposition of selecting him there..........and James Cook is too good and heavily invested in to not give half the carries to. 2. Robinson is not a complete stud at RB..........he lacks breakaway speed.........which helps explain his relatively modest ypc numbers despite his other skills.

Come on now..........the Chiefs scored on every drive in the second half. KC put up those numbers with just 24 mins of possession and on just 53 plays...........versus 32 and 66 in the Bengals game where the Bengals offense struggled. No comparison between the two defensive performances. The Eagles D put up virtually no resistance all day.........if not for an easy missed FG by Chiefs in first half the game probably ends with kneel downs.

Hey I'm tryna' sell a 56 year old DC as a first time HC here, c'mon. Also Bengals get no comp picks! Win-win.

In fairness........that wasn't their line for SB 55. LDT didn't play in 2020 he opted out for covid. And if they could have gotten Fisher and Schwartz back healthy in 2021........they certainly would have.......both were excellent when they played in 2020 but Schwartz retired from injuries and Fisher was a UFA with a blown ACL. Austin Reiter.......also a free agent after that SB. In the SB they had the infamous killer of SB dreams Mike Remmers at LT.........worst starting LT in SB history? Probably............. and a then-atrocious 3rd year turnstile named Andrew Wylie at RT. Nick Allegretti started at LG as well. I don't know where Wisniewski was........I presume injured........but he was washed in 2020. The Chiefs kinda' HAD to replace 4 starter one way or another.

I think the answer is obviously no. The Bengals gave up just 23 points in the Chiefs own stadium. The Eagles D got dominated.

Gannon just laid an egg in the SB after his management hired Vic Fangio for two weeks to teach him how to coach against KC...........you gotta' go Anarumo, Bidwell! (get that guy the hell out of the AFC please) https://arizonasports.com/story/3497155/reports-cardinals-focused-on-jonathan-gannon-lou-anarumo-for-head-coach/

So after lauding the Chiefs OL you OPEN with addressing Spencer Brown? Andrew Wylie was worse in his 3rd season(2020) than Spencer Brown was last year. The Bills have issues to address for sure but it's not impossible to imagine that they sign one UFA and add a day 2 player and their OL could be greatly improved. They don't need to hand out a Joe Thuney contract(he might be their worst OL now) or trade a #1 for a top RT and move him to LT.

I heard him last interviewed last night...........and he insisted on bringing up a point from the past where he had called Mahomes a "competitive prick" and then elaborating on what he meant by that.

The first step in reining Allen in is giving him some more talent. I don't think we've seen a more deliberate gameplan in the McDermott era than Dorsey's in the opener against the Rams..........they wanted to attack with the quick game and Allen has never looked sharper.........but we immediately saw what would become an issue..........the targets weren't reliable. Allen throws a perfect pass to McKenzie which Lil Dummy turns into an interception. Eventually Lil Dummy nearly cost them a Chiefs game that they should have won by 3 scores. The slot problem became huge. So they desperately bring Beasley back and Josh tries to feed him to but the guy is just washed. The first Bengals game was a good example of what the difference in WR corps meant. Bengals march right down and score.........Bills drive ends with a FG after one slightly overthrown ball to the undersized, washed up Beasley. Under Daboll the quick game was very, very important to keeping Allen under control. Without it........the offense never felt right last season. But to Dorsey's credit.........they still scored and were more consistent than Daboll had been.........in part because Daboll is inconsistent by nature.

That's a bit revisionist regarding Daboll..........he authored some terrible games in 2021 including the 6 point stinker against the very worst team in the NFL and as a result the team was just 11-6. Dorsey had less talent at WR and OL to work with.........yet actually produced much more consistent results.............until the last game. But once again..........no first time OC has won a SB since Mike Holmgren with the Niners in the 80's........and that team was a defending SB champ with a 3 time SB winning QB at the helm. It's obviously not easy to win big with a first time OC.........Dorsey needs to take a step for sure but Beane needs to raise the talent level on the offensive side to compete with KC and Cinci.

Allen is a liability? He isn't good enough? Talk about some made-up BS..........that's a less-than 1% subset of Bills fandom that believes those things. But I guess you wanted to make a sandwich about some people complaining about him leading the league in turnovers. Allen needs some better personnel around him on offense...........it's glaringly obvious enough that I think Vegas knows it's going to be addressed.

Relating to the free agents that might interest/align with the Bills from the SB yesterday: My initial impression was that Isaac Seumalo played a tremendous game last night at guard for the Eagles. @MrEpsYtown mentioned Juan Thornhill as a cheaper-than-Poyer safety option that the Bills really liked in the draft..........he seemed at blame for the first bomb to AJ Brown where McDuffie ended up without help. Was perfectly positioned on a later deep pass he defensed. Not sure who blew the coverage on the wide open Devonta Smith play on the Eagles last scoring drive.

Bradberry admitted he held him...........and video shows him stretching his jersey as he clutched it. So obviously NOT egregiously terrible...........more like an egregiously stupid time to disappoint us all by killing his teams chances with a penalty because he thought he was about to get posterized with a game sealing TD. As for the latter........I wish I could root for the locally raised guy Sirianni........but he is an EGREGIOUSLY sore winner so seeing him make such a tactical error is actually gratifying if you don't like seeing your HC's act like a rookie diva on the sideline.
