  1. More about pressure rate and forcing offenses to scheme around him, and opening things up for the rest of the DL
  2. Chop is gonna be an elite Pass Rush specialist in this league not long after the draft, and in fact profiles somewhat as Von. There's more than enough speed in this draft to get one in Rd1 or RD2. But if there's a next level talent like Chop available at 29 they take him no questions.
  3. I didn't say that? How did you quote me on that?
  4. Think about it this way. Last season the Bills offense was actually relatively easy to defend from a schematic POV, because you only had to defend 30 yards of dirt at most regardless of down and distance. Without even an average deep threat else where, Gabe Davis struggled bigtime as the sole threat downfield, and defenses didn't really adjust a thing. They set either 2 or 1 safety 20 yards down field, one of them went deep, and everyone else sank down. Diggs wasn't that effective of a deep threat, and defenses felt they could run with him past 10-15 yards. With the addition of Samuel, you inject pure speed with addition of being a real football player. It doesn't matter where he lines up, you can attack those safeties from inside or outside. But Samuel will only be PART of that solve. The other part? Someone like Ladd McConkey who's the other deep threat. It allows for versatility. If you're on 1st and 10 or 2nd and medium, you have different packages that can make use of 1 or both deep guys, and you can use that short to intermediate offense that Allen proved he can run this past season. Defenses starting to squat? Well put in both speed guys, add in Diggs and Kincaid to the underneath, and you're either creating deeper mismatches, or forcing zones and YAC openings in the middle and short. This is all about deployment of weapons. Bills can attack any down and distance and create matchups they like
  5. Project what he can be with Josh Allen and Joe Brady
  6. Davis has been criminally underrated around here. He was literally the only deep threat the Bills had. What were people expecting?
  7. Obviously dudes like McDuffie and Sneed - both excellent physical man corners, are gonna win their fair share of matchups against the Bills mighty mights, but the fact of the matter is that they're fast enough that safeties are still gonna check that matchup and cheat just a bit, and then you have an elite route runner like Diggs now coming off the LOS.
  8. Samuel had a TON of targets coming out of the back field. You think it's easier to catch a target coming out of the backfield, running screens, slants, etc or almost exclusive running skinny posts, fly routes, corners, and other deep routes? He can play both. This is the modern NFL you don't need a super physical guy out there, bunch of ways to win off the snap even when lined up on the LOS
  9. That's a good one but McConkey play the outside more naturally - and would be an excellent late RD1 pick up
  10. Very misleading as they've had two very different roles
  11. He was a Gadget player at Ohio State, a better version of Isiah McKenzie, so that's not at all what he was supposed to be. He started playing more on the outside in the NFL, but the real problem was this, here are his QBs: Cam Newton (Healthy) Cam Newton/Kyle Allen/Taylor Heinicke - avg 12.5 per reception Kyle Allen/Cam Newton (broken)/Will Grier Teddy Bridgewater/PJWalker Alex Smith/Dwayne Haskins/Kyle Allen Taylor Heinicke/carson wentz/sam howell sam howell Who his QB will be in Buffalo Josh Allen
  12. For those who have questions about Samuel playing the outside, note this from 2018 https://www.pff.com/news/pro-panthers-curtis-samuel-developing-into-a-quality-option-at-outside-wide-receiver And then also take a look at his 2020 season and who happened to be his OC That offense had DJ Moore and CMC so those are decent for 3rd banana
  13. This is an elite specialization pick up from Beane. This is PERFECTION. Y'all realize what this going to do for Diggs and whomever the Bills pick in the draft to replace Gabe? Now the Bills can threaten the safeties in multiple ways to open up the intermediate and short, or even isolate corners and safeties to make deep routes more dangerous
  14. And that's exactly the ginormous hole the offense was missing
  15. Which was where Beane was at with this
