BADOLBILZ

I thought it was a solid draft. Didn't care for the Basham pick but better to take a swing at a pass rusher in round 2 than a player at a position they could fill inexpensively in UFA. TDN recently did a "re-draft" and Groot went 21st overall. He was good......the most productive of the DE's in the class..........he tied for the NFL lead in run stops with 32 despite being a rotational player. Brown showed a lot of promise at RT for someone who on paper looked like a guy who would definitely need a redshirt season or two. What hurt the appearance of their draft was carrying so many veterans on the roster which kept rookies on the bench and cost them guys like Wildgoose and Anderson. Hopefully Beane doesn't f*ck around with re-structures for some of these guys(Feliciano, Beasley etc..) this offseason who need to be cut outright and then replace that veteran quantity with quality and then all of this years draft picks can stick. Pay cuts don't work, Beane. Every one he has offered and was accepted lead to diminishing returns or player regret.

The entire Baltimore County School Board felt that his truancy was way out of hand this season though.

I don't know if it's bold at all. According to reports he had a very clean break. ACL's don't even top the list of destructive knee injuries anymore........I worry much more about the cartilage/degenerative conditions that will cause lingering pain. Sometimes surgery and rehab of a ligament can actually make the player more powerful. Tommy John surgery used to inevitably take the power away from any pitcher who needed the procedure........now It's become the norm with UCL injuries/surgeries in baseball for the pitcher to come back throwing harder than they could before. We don't hear about huge advancements in the surgeries themselves but I think improvements have certainly come in the re-hab process.

RPO's shouldn't be high on the agenda, IMO. Time to graduate. About the only thing Allen did wrong in the Chiefs game were some RPO decisions.

It's the outside zone the OL and backs really struggled with..............but if they are still trying that you have to believe that McDermott wants it............probably because he hates to defend it. It seems counterintuitive to take existing talent that might be adequate enough to have the league's highest scoring offense in 2022 in one style and then have to replace or move several of them to fit into outside zone better. I just think you can do a more from inside zone. For one thing........having the primary RB target point being the gap between the guard and the tackle is a lot more realistic for guys like Singletary and Moss than having the target point being outside the tackle. Inside zone also generally gives you 3 options.....2 cut backs........where outside is mostly just outside and then possibly the backside A gap cutback. And Roman proved you can mix gap/pin and pull very nicely with a primarily inside zone attack. Not that you can't do it as an outside zone based group but it's a lot to ask. A lot more running in general for the OL playing OZ as well.........unless of course you are so bad at it that you don't actually get to run it much.

Brian Flores says this happened: "May we all get what we want, and never what we deserve!"

According to Vegas the Chiefs are the favorites at this point at 6.5 to 1 and Buffalo is second a 7 to 1.

We didn't talk that much about RB speed back then because there wasn't any shortage of very fast RB's..........it's not like today where most teams have undersized LB's that can outrun their own RB's. And the backup RB's of that era were often still one of the best 4-5 athletes on the entire roster. RB corps were deep and CB corps were......not. Now most of those guys who would have played RB in the 80's or 90's grow up playing defense or WR.........where they can make a lot more money.

If he was going to get one........it was going to be one of the "distressed" variety for not necessarily the right reasons...........like Houston(which is a big LSU alumni town)........or now that the Dolphins are toxic maybe there(he's also from Miami). Better off getting a re-set with a team with a great player at QB and maybe he can fast-track his way back to a promising OC gig and then to HC......all in a 3-4 year span........rather than take another bad situation.....get fired again......and then spend 9 years climbing back to ANY NFL OC job again like Daboll had to.

Judging from your history of calling these things..........he will definitely make it thru 2022..........we will bring this post back up in December to point out that you were wrong.........and then he will be forced to sell the team in 2023.

Please do that.......because he's practically run into the ground already.........that 2020 workload took the starch out of him even before his injury this year. If they were smart they'd cut Henry, save $9M........and give a nice cheap 2 year deal to D'Onta Foreman before they lose him in UFA this winter. On a modest deal the 235# Foreman would look nice in the Bills backfield(assuming they stay with more of the run game design they used late season).

Well everyone generally assumes that he will retain his speed already. Williams may fall because he may not be ready to play early in the season and it's a very deep WR draft...........on the heels of several consecutive deep WR drafts..........it's one of the lesser "need" positions around the league. And it's a very good OL and DL draft early, which are much more "need" positions and teams are also very desperate for DB's so there will be reaches there too.

Saleh may just not want another stretch zone offense in the division. Makes it easier for Buffalo and NE to prepare for the Jets and Miami when they are running the same offense. It's getting to the point where there are so many of these Shanahan offenses in the NFL that it encourages answers to be found by DC's............and that leads to diminishing returns. Much like when the entire league started trying to run the BYU style WCO in the 90's and early 2000's to try to be like the 49ers and more successful branches of the Walsh tree...........only to have defenses get so complicated that young QB's were basically being thrown to the wolves trying to run it.

Was referring to Brady maybe finding a better OC job than he felt was even available this "cycle"........... in the event that Dorsey were to remain in his position as Bills OC after 2022.

He's not coming to Buffalo to teach QB mechanics.........he was a WR in college and the only other position coach he's been on offense anywhere is a WR coach.......never been a QB coach before..........he is likely there to add to the teams game planning/design, helping Dorsey as the "passing game coordinator"...........and then being promoted if Dorsey becomes a HC or getting his pick of better OC jobs.

1) You should follow your team closer since you are he who determines who is a fan and who is not 2) Also learn how to use f*cking google https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2021/03/16/bills-made-a-run-at-rob-gronkowski/

You are welcome to boo. But the whole "never root for a Bills player because he is a former Patriot" is something we should get over. NE used Buffalo like a farm team extensively during their two must successful stretches (early 2000's and 2016-2018) and it contributed greatly to them winning many SB's. "The Patriots have better Bills than Buffalo" Al Michaels once said. If the Bills need a player or two to get over the hump and they are a former Patriot I am not letting that bother me.

No d-bag who pulled their financial support in protest after the firing of Rex Ryan has the right to tell ME I'm not a Bills fan. I may not always personally like or respect a player the Bills get but I root for the laundry every damn time. You and @Protocal69 need some MF'in process in your lives:

Which 2 years of NFL experience are you talking about? The 2 with the Saints or the 2 with the Panthers? He was twice suddenly not a college coach and that's the way he wanted it because he doesn't want to recruit. I have no idea if he needs stability. I think he figures he probably needs to be a year removed from getting fired before he can secure an OC job in a situation where he is poised to succeed (and advance his likely goal of becoming a HC).

Brandon Beane tried to sign him and therefore very well may try again. Write Beane a strongly worded letter and then show your passion for the subject by finding a new team to root for(cheaply) from afar like you currently do.

As I mentioned in another post..........he isn't really a college coach and has no history as a recruiter and from what I heard no interest in doing that job. University of Miami would have been the logical choice.........he is from there so there was a lot of speculation about it..........but you can't pay a big time coordinator salary to a guy in college who isn't also a recruiter. Players want to know that the OC really wants them there. Can't just send a WR coach out there and expect to pull 4 and 5 star players unless your name is Saban.

Or if he doesn't just hit the wall as a player should he decide to actually play in 2022. He was tremendously productive this year though............some Bills fans think he was just an "ok" TE still.........but between his production as a receiver and his ability to block he was certainly a top 10 TE and arguably a top 5 TE. I wouldn't be as high on the idea if they had a really great option as a YAC producing slot receiver.........but not a lot of good matches $ wise and talent wise at that position in UFA.........and while I like the late 1st round receiver prospects you don't want to be reliant on one in 2022. I readily admit that Brady did a great job leading his receivers.......which is a bit different than how the Bills offense has done it..........but Gronk averaged almost 15 yards per reception and would have lead Bills receivers in YAC per play based on numbers alone.

Inadvertent vs intentional..........BOTH happen. Like the difference between you and a real doctor.

The problem Brady is having getting what he wants is that everyone in college knows he wants to be in the pro's...........and doesn't want to recruit...........otherwise he would get a huge deal as a college OC. Everyone in the pro's knows he sucked as an OC at Carolina. So while it seems like a step back.......taking a QB coach job with a Bills team that.........if they play their personnel cards right this offseason.........could end up as one of the all-time scoring offenses in NFL history certainly makes sense. Offensive goal for 2022......38 points per game.
