Bleeding Bills Blue

Old school training techniques. Those torn muscles are caused by a lack of flexibility and overexertion. You see it a ton with professional wrestlers - Torn pecs, biceps, triceps, hamstrings etc. Seems like Trainers and players put a much greater emphasis on flexibility. Training also seems to lead more to plyometrics and trying to create speed and usable strength.

If Jefferson ends up in NO, I think he'll do well. Seattle might be interesting too - lockett metcalf and jefferson. Maybe GB. Somewhere where he's not expected to be #1, and can play in the slot, move around etc. He probably slips - but deep ball tracking and actually catching the ball on deep routes is more important than running really fast. Same with Getting off the line in press, as well as running more of a route tree. I think a super fast 40 would have got him picked higher, and thus more money. But it doesn't really change who he is as a player.

Big 3. Higgins probably. Jefferson. Mims or Reagor maybe? Aiyuk could sneak in there too. I think all of those guys are gone by our pick, as well as probably shenault, Claypool, maybe Pittman too just because of size. I'd like to see Tyler Johnson later in this draft, guys just a football player.

If the WR we get is the 10-12th off the board. Who would you want it to be? Do you think the 12th one off the board has all-pro potential?

And just because players have high 2nd round grades doesn't mean they don't go in the first. My guess is at least 5 WRs are off the board in the first. Maybe 6. And i think 10 or 11 will be selected before buffalo picks at 54.

Define "Generation". Is it better than 96? 2014? Is it that the top 3 are can't miss? Or is it that it's super deep? Why does it HAVE to be in the 2nd? Whats wrong with a WR in the 3rd? We don't even know who's there in the 2nd vs. 3rd.

It also helps if you're good at football. RB2 in a Greg Roman offense has traditionally put out some pretty good numbers. Edwards Last year... Gillislee... Hyde... Kendall Hunter...

It's a projection. They dont factor injuries, growth, anything. They basically just use a computer to figure out who is likely to win games, and how many total points. The total points would = X TDs. Divvy up the TDs based on projected offensive output etc. Then get an expected yardage total and do the same. Sack totals, all that - its not based on how many sacks the players have had, they are probably basing off of the rotation that McD does. How many total snaps, how many sacks per snap career. Etc. This is solely a projection based on quantifiable data that they have. It helps - but its a football game, not a baseball game. Batting projections work because of trends - and the fact that its a 1x1 with batter and pitcher. The Hitters goal is to get a hit and get on base. The pitchers goal is to get outs, limit baserunners. Simple. Everything about football makes data collection hard, as well as hard to use. You give up a 45 yard TD as a corner because mahomes broke contain and scrambled for like 8 seconds. You eat the TD there even though it's likely a defensive ends fault. Without knowing the play calls, the assignments, etc. you never really know what you were supposed to do there. Same goes for offense - RB could get 80 yards and its truly just a blown assignment by a safety or something. How do you factor that into a projection a year later? I'm hoping McD starts coaching like a winner. Not saying he needs to go nuts here, but don't be afraid to win by like 10... or even more! lol

People keep calling it that and I'm like HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN STAR WARS? THE DEATH STAR IS GREY!! ;aklsdjf;klakjdf;a

Anyone else excited for the MSG sphere? I'm not sure why I'd ever go there, i just think it looks neat.

Lol at the Whaley hate. Stop showing up fat and high as hell and maybe we'll talk. I love how he complains about Jonathan Williams, when he lost his job to TD Mike. He was a backup RB to Shady - you have to respect that your job is not locked in and act like a professional.

Depends on their draft. If they draft oline - i could see them moving Thuney for someone like dalton + picks. Move Sanu for late round pick or cut him. Also if they move out of the first they save some cap space as well. Other than that they're really limited on what they can do.

Bad number font. ATL? What is that? Red and black gradient jersey? Yuck. Weird stripes. The throwback should just be the uniform. Overall. Not good.

ST can be found very easily though. Depth Safeties and corners will play special teams. Neal and Jones appear to be the primary gunners likely on punt coverage, but depth corners and safeties can do that role just as well. If he was like a probowler? His job would be safe. But right now I'd list Neal and Jones as above him on the gunner depth chart.

I think they established that running game matters, but not necessarily the back. They also kind of made note of the fact that a good offensive line and QB can affect the position greatly. There wasn't like a clear - this is the way to get running backs though. "Running backs matter, but as we recognize they matter less than other positions, let’s not go overboard."

Punters have become a lot better. I liked what the XFL did though - nothing out of bounds inside the 20 or it gets pushed out to the 35. Same with touchbacks - pushed to the 35. They also wouldnt let gunners cross the LOS til the ball is punted. So basically even an attempt at a high punt for a fair catch could end up rolling into the end zone if your gunners couldnt stop it. More returns and more 4th down attempts.

Figure 4 or 5 go in the first - which might be low. You still have Bengals again, Colts, Lions, Giants, Panthers, Jags, Colts again, Broncos, Jets, Steelers, Cowboys, and Eagles again before buffalo picks. So if the 5 in rd 1 go say to - raiders, 49ers, Vikings, Saints, and i dunno Seahawks. All of those teams with needs above may be targeting WRs. So at least a few of the 2nd and 3rd tier guys may come off the board.

Foster played fewer ST snaps (37.92%) than perry, neal, j johnson, k johnson, and coleman. He was not a primary gunner. Mckenzie played almost half of the offensive snaps in 2019. Foster also caught 3 of 18 targets in 2019... he has long odds of making the team imo.

Foster would likely be the cut. Now do you activate this guy over McK? Considering McK is a gadget player and has made plays for the team, i don't think so - not for a 4th WR. I'm not against it, but what's to say theyre the BPA? Right - like whos the starting running back for the 49ers right now?

I'd argue Shenault too. But again - we don't know who else is there. Their board isn't the same as kipers, and they probably have some players higher than others.

They wanted to break up with Lynch. Which looking back was indicative of poor coaching, poor player management, poor ownership etc.

I don't disagree. But you're using your first and 2nd round picks on WRs. They brought McKenzie back after the Diggs trade, so I think they're planning on a later round developmental guy imo.

I like him too. Injury prone. But it seems like almost all of these guys have some injury concern. They're basically free agents due to coronavirus. But i think one of these guys ends up here, and a rookie. At the very least need to push Yeldon. I don't even know why they hate yeldon so much. Had 900 total yards and 5 TDs in 2018, career YPA of around 4. I know he doesn't play special teams but yeesh, we carried dimarco and perry for 27 games and yeldon played 6... mostly when singletary was out. Some strange frank gore obsession by the coaching staff. Maybe beane likes yeldon and is trying to convince mcdermott that we already have the backup RB?

Hyde, Freeman Miller. All older, and would need a workout before a team would sign them. Crowells coming off an achilles so he'll probably be cheap.
