Is Matt Schaub's contact up?
-
I hope he brings in Knapp as QB coach as Knapp was OC in Atlanta for Vick's best three seasons
-
Bortles?, nah Giants QB (see Coughlin connection) Ryan Nassib is set to be an UFA.But Bortles changes all of that... amirite?
-
Kromer at OC and Palmer at QB isn't horrible.just have Kromer do it
Darnold not guaranteed to come out in 2018 and Rosen? Ick. Best QB in next year's class might be Mason Rudolph.Cool, I was expecting to get flamed...LOL
-
DeSean's an UFA and being what he and Shady said about Chip I don't think your scenario likely at all.Bring in Chip and trade for Desean Jackson.
Just to see what happens.
-
Daboll? He's been an OC 3x already and can't say his offenses in Cleveland, Miami or KC were memorable.Brian Daboll and Alex Van Pelt are good candidates
-
Greg Knapp be on my short list.
-
Didn't we all think Fred Jackson might join the coaching staff?
He might still get a Quality Control position and I also noticed Kromer's on staff as a Coaching Assistant, am sure he won't be here if his old man isn't.
-
Oh, good! Greg Olson told Rapoport of his firing from the Jags in 2016: "Couldn't find an identity in the run game." So we decided to hire the coach that couldn't find a running identity to save the OC's job. The OC that we're interviewing tomorrow. Awesome.
That's why we hired Juan Castillo to be the run game coordinator. But I agree I'm meh on Olson as OC.
-
I don't know who our OC is, so until then I can't fully comment on QB. Yet if things fall with Childress I take a chance on Nick Foles, Jones and a 2nd Round draft pick this year.
-
I wonder if McDermott gives Chris Palmer an interview for the vacant OC position.
I though if Lynn was staying there was a chance Palmer get a shot. I'd entertain the idea.
-
He has plenty of experience. That's for sure. You would see a lot more passing too.
All I know is Gailey made a half way decent offense with a 7th Round draft pick QB (Fitzpatrick) an undrafted RB (Fred Jackson) a 7th WR (Stevie Johnson) and undrafted WRs (David Nelson and Donald Jones) and a journeyman TE (Scott Chandler).
-
Yeah it would.
For what it's worth there was a report last year that Childresss was close to retirement, while I want him as the Bills OC over Olson there's no guaranteeing he's coming here as some of Vic Carucci's latest reports.

"Sure thing" and college spread QB's should NEVER be used in the same sentence, and I don't care how many records they set or how many TD's they threw or what their statistics were...
There are just too many things they are not required to do in college that they will have to do in the NFL....
not saying they CAN'T do them or that they won't be able to learn how to do them, but there is NO way to project them as 100% sure things that will be able to do them well...
At best its a major, major projection based on really nothing you have to go on, which is why colleges are ruining the NFL QB pool these days as more and more teams go to these types of systems...they are great for colleges but terrible for the NFL and these kids chances. A kid who could have been doing NFL type things for 2 or 3 or 4 years in college is now forced to only start learning them in the NFL and so many of these QBs that might have actually been able to be decent NFL QBs if they had been actually doing these things in college are basically discarded quickly in the NFL if they can't master these concepts withing a year or two...
Something has to change, but I'm not sure what or how it will...the NFL cannot continue to have 85% of college QBs that enter the draft who are unprepared to play in their league....it makes no sense.
This is why some have been pushing for a developmental league. As that's something the CFL and NFL Europe used to do.
-
I've seen his name in other threads and would like to see Greg Knapp get a chance of course wants a proven QB coach to come with him not named David Lee.
-
Only position that cant be blocked is a HC vacancy. All others can be blocked.
So why call them co-ordinators? Just call them assistant coaches to put them all in same pool. Honestly some of these names they come up with are strangest things ever. Case in point is Childress being the spread offense co-offensive coordinator in KC. Just call him assistant offensive coach and be done with it.
-
I'd like to see if Boras could help us Kenny Britt or Brian Quick if we let Woods walk as an UFA.
-
Back with Marrone
@rapsheet
As the #Jaguars wait for an OC, they have hired Tyrone Wheatley as the team's running backs coach.
Sounds like he's rebuilding his 2013 Bills staff as best he can.
-
The only place that the idea that Childress "may" be out of the running seems to be a Vic tweet. I would not automatically assume this to be the truth. It may ultimately turn out to be true, who knows now, but it's a flimsy case for it being true. One Vic tweet, saying he "may" be out of the running.
Edit: For clarity sake, Vic said that Childress "Appears" to be out of the picture, not "may" be. Same thing, but since I used the quotes...
and lately Vic has been bad at predicting things as he pretty much thought it was all but certain Lynn be our HC. While I have read reports that Childress was set to retire last year I can see where he could connect the dots but until we don't see Childress I will question Vic's sources.
-
From the Buff News today, and the analysis of Rex's defensive failure:
Given that, if the Bills are on the clock and both Mike Williams and the best safety in the draft are available, which do you take?
This is, of course, assuming that we don't add a starting WR or S in free agency, which I don't see happening.
Trade down for a 2nd or 3rd round pick and take the best available CB in the mid twenties.
-
Where did Matt Miller have Tom Brady rated? Or Matt Hasselbeck, Dak Presott, Drew Brees? These "evaluators" get it wrong too
THANK YOU!! The TAPE DONT LIE!!
He's been playing in his uncles "shadow" since he put on a helmet and shoulder pads. This kid is talented and the Bills shouldn't pass on him
Johnny Manziel and Ryan Leaf had talent too. Yet they ended up busts, it happens and and don't think asking him to play in the shadow of his uncle and playing for his hometown would suit him well.
-
Playing for his hometown and being in his uncle shadow is probably the worse situation for this kid. Not to mention he's not the biggest of QB and takes a lot of chances and has character concerns raise a major red flag. I say draft someone else, Pat Mahomes is an interesting thought if we don't take someone in Round 1.
-
I doubt it as LaFleur's been tied to Kyle Shanahan. Most are assuming Shanahan is going to HC the 49ers which make LaFleur the 49ers OC. I am think if Brad Childress wants it the job is his. I wonder if we could make Olson the QB coach though.
-
Nick Foles also identifies himself as a Christian. Why not go with him since he has a history working with Andy Reid and has a longer career ahead of him and cost us less to acquire him?
Perhaps Dennison should adapt to the Bills existing offense.
