    Week 10: Buy, Sell, Hold

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Buy:  Taron Johnson.  He’s going to have at least one INT on MNF, maybe returning it to the house.  This team is due for an INT, hosting Russell Wilson on MNF is the recipe for that to happen, and Taron is going to lead the way with a big play.

     

    Sell:  Sam Martin.  He’s not going to need to punt much on Monday night, although may offer up a couple headscratchers when called upon.

     

    Hold:  James Cook.  He’s had a couple quiet weeks, AND Leonard Fournette has joined this backfield.  May need to share some extra carries now, although will pop off some nice gains on Monday to remind us the value he can bring to the table too.

     

    I ultimately think there’s a lot to buy heading into this game, hopefully the Bills prove me right!

    Hyde and Poyer are slow and beat up.  They play hard but neither can cover anymore.  We need to find some young safeties that can play.  No team has 2 starting safeties that are 33 years old.  That is part of our problem.  We need young talent.  


    Completely agree.  My hope is at least one of those replacements is already on the roster, in maybe a guy like Benford or Douglas, but either way, they need to get younger in their defense backfield and have holes they need to fill.  Taron Johnson’s quickness won’t last forever either.  They really need to hope the light can go on for Elam soon.

    I think we would likely be moving on. Hyde would get consideration I would assume. I don't think we give Bates the keys. He's awfully meaty for cap savings. We will see on it I guess. I REALLY don't think Morse is here next year though. I think that one is more clear than Bates.  


    Right, but if we don’t have Bates, we still have to find someone and pay them to play Center.  Bates is at a pretty good price for what we’d have to pay a decent center from elsewhere, unless we find someone in the draft.  I don’t think we will want to re-sign Hyde bc of age and Poyer might be done too, but we will still need FS and SS replacements, so didn’t know if you had contemplated who that might be.

    My theory: McDermott never liked Daboll's high flying offense, but had to go along with it

    My theory:  Both Sean McDermott and Brian Daboll are unlikeable coaches.  I don't think players like playing for either guy.  Daboll's shine just wore off very fast in NY because he's a hothead.


    if this says anything, Gronk has gone on record to say he specifically would only unretire for one coach, and that’s Daboll.  When asked about Buffalo and McD, he gushed at the thought of his hometown team but said nothing about McD.

    Is Josh turning into a one read guy??

     a tendency that a QB coach or OC should be able to get out of him.  But nope, not here.  Just clapp along with the HC.  


    Or at least align the offensive playing calling and scheme to Josh’s strengths.  That’s where Daboll may have been a great fit for Josh, b/c he knew how to better cover up Josh’s weaknesses.  When even Cris Collinsworth is salivating at the Bills spreading out their offense and the Bills offense is moving effectively, that should be a sign of the direction their offense needs to go with Josh.  You start a drive with a couple QB designed runs, it’s almost like it calms Josh down and it puts the opposing defense on notice.

    This video right here shows me that Josh is sticking with one play and going with it. Davis was wide open for a huge gain. Maybe JA has lost all faith in Gabe and doesn't even look his way anymore. Idk 🤷‍♂️ 

     

    And why is Deonte Harty even on this team?? Him and Sherfield. Nice moves Beane.

     

     


    That’s been a knock on Josh since coming out of college.  He’s definitely been more effective in his career when he doesn’t do this, but it’s a tendency of his that hurts the offense’s effectiveness.

    Groot’s development

    Not enough production out of a former 1st round pick who is in his 3rd season and up this point in his career has been a disappointment. With Von Miller coming off a torn ACL, You’d expect a  guy like Rousseau to elevate his game and he hasn’t up to this point. They need more production out of him and nobody is talking about it. 


    A Groot complaint thread was already started yesterday:

    The kid was screwed by this organization.  They should have put him on non injury leave and paid him until this played out.

     

     

     

    Kid was screwed by at least half this board and public opinion, versus letting all of the facts play out.  If people don’t recall, Beane’s hand was essentially forced, some here saying he took too long to act.

    Simms: Gabe Davis is a good player, but he's not a number two

    Okay, so we had another low-impact performance from Gabe.

     

    In fact, I would now begin to question whether he is even a number 3 on this offence. 

     

    I would also question whether you even make a lowball offer. 

     

    Is there anyone out there who thinks he improves dramatically with a better OC? Because that is the only scenario I can see where he is a Bill next season.


    Was Davis injured on the last TD drive?  It looked like Sherfield was out on the field, and I was pretty sure it was in place of Davis.  Or is it possible Sherfield’s going to start taking snaps from Davis?

    McD for Daboll

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    There’s one guy only that Gronk said could talk him out of retirement, and that is Brian Daboll.  He dodged a question of playing for McD, even though his eyes lit up about playing for his “hometown team”.  Not saying we get Daboll to sign Gronk specifically, but does that say anything about Daboll v McD?

    Anyway, thought this was interesting, given where the team currently stands this season and the questions surrounding the coaching staff.

    Say you're Brandon Beane: what do you do with these three contracts?

    No talk of Poyer and Hyde? They’ll only be a year older and slower next years.


    Hyde’s contract will be up, so I presume this is it for him here.  Wouldn’t surprise me if Benford is the eventual FS for this team.  Poyer will have a year left on his deal, but he’s been a step slower each passing year.  Haven’t seen anyone else on this team yet that I’d like taking on the SS role.

    One will be replaced by Rapp, the other by a Day 1 or 2 pick. 


    Not sure if I want them to re-sign Rapp.  Feel like I see him whiffing at a lot of tackles.
