Bleeding Bills Blue

Yep. Fumbles especially are feast or famine. Once teams know you're a team that pulls the ball, they always seem to protect the ball better. But playing lousy QBs helps get more INTs.

I feel like Miami isn't as good as their record indicated. The Rams game was a great Defensive effort, probably same for the 49ers. but 4 big defensive games against NYJx2, Cincy backup qb, and Jags really lowered that PPG allowed. 6th in points allowed after the bills beatdown week 17, but i think the 20th in yards shows them as a bit more of a mediocre unit.

It's so dumb - it only really factors in year 4 if he's a disaster in years 1-3. Then you'd cut him in year 4 and he could double dip. But if you're cutting him, how much is he possibly double dipping?

Just a mastery of cornerback leverage on that side is what he needs to do. Metcalf has tons of speed so you see his highlights, but when you watch him on back shoulder plays he's like unstoppable if he reads the corner right. Devante parker might be a better example for someone like Davis though.

Speed kills but if you can be good on the back shoulder plays that's as much a killer in man coverage as speed. Buffalo's money plays seem to be in that 15-25 yard range (even with allen improving on deep throws beyond 25 yards).

Well all of those players had YPA's of like 5, vs. moss's 4.3.

Tend to agree. And you try to avoid taking on too much bad money or paying too much in compensation. This falls in the latter. If they could get an overpaid CB for a 5th round pick? get it done.

Honestly knox made some plays. I just think backside blocking in the outside zone was poor - be it him or daryl williams. That needs to improve.

With baseball doing what they can to get away from pitching substances it wouldn't surprise me if there was a bit of a crackdown to continue to boost offense. Then again the NFL has that hockey feel in the playoffs of "letting them play".

Mckenzie is slot depth and primary returner (you have hyde as punt catcher - and depth KR would probably be Breida), hodgins is likely outside depth. Stevenson maybe on PS with kumerow/duke/gentry as probably the other one on the PS.

I think that was the play more than replacing brown. It was moving davis to the boundary and having 2 challenging slot receivers on the field at once.

I like the Easter choice - he played in rochester too i believe.

Probably give the basketball nod to McAdoo - the Braves weren't around very long and he's the only player of note worth mentioning. For baseball - Warren Spahn? I know he never played in Buffalo, but he was from here. Fine with Kelly... for now. I think Allen will take the spot someday. Hockey - Hasek

If its close - money says obada sticks. Addison has no major cap savings (maybe 2 million?), it looks like his base is not guaranteed unless he's injured but he might be able to ***** a late pick.

Agree there. To me he's the best in the division at the moment. Guy seems to make plays - and makes them down the field for TDs and 1st downs.

Atlanta could be interesting.

Try just calling the ticket office - someone there will probably know.

It's a well produced show, and is aired before football season starts when you're doing fantasy drafts and just generally getting excited for the season. Dak coming off a horrifying injury. Just generally a disappointing season re: oline injuries, dak, zeke struggles, d struggles. I think it'll be a good season.

A friend of mine from my old job played against levens in high school and said he was a nightmare. A colleague at my current job played football in St. Louis and said Brandon Williams was the biggest meanest dude he ever played against, and Williams was really solid in basketball too.

You can't sign everybody. The saints definitely try to keep running it back with the same group though.

No Loopholes - Ramzyck likely has no new money this year. It's like if buffalo signed Josh allen to a 5 year contract extension next season. He still plays under a 5th year option and then the bonus is spread over other years. Next season they sit at 208M right now (pre-Ramzcyk). Armstead and Lattimore don't have contracts yet. And the only cap space they can really create is by converting salary to restructure bonuses and void years. So you're essentially sacrificing future cap space to sign those guys. I'm curious if A - they're still good without brees and B - if they keep punting the cap hits down the line to keep the team together. They had a couple big wins over TB, but they lost to GB and KC. Other than that the only other playoff team they beat was the bears...

I could see him down a bit, but Allen looks for him a lot so i still see the 100+ rec by him. I think sanders works in the slot some as well with bease, which is going to be a PITA to cover when they roll 4 WR with davis outside. So i could see some of bease's targets heading to sanders. I also think Singletary might play more of a role th is year.

I think Gase is probably an OK offensive coordinator. Nothing super unique to his offense. Not a great run game coordinator. But I think between the ears he knows football, its more of an issue with coaching style and lack of leadership. It'll take a year or two, but I suspect he just ends up in college where former NFL coaches tend to have success (largely due to having a name that helps with recruiting). Doubt he ever wins much of anything, but I could see him in the pac-60 or whatever its called now.

His Yards after contact number is in pretty good company. It's the yards before contact there that need the most improvement. Be it oline, his ability to find holes, or playcalling (probably all 3).

All makes sense to me. Tons of negative runs too.
