I hear ya. I’m not a fan of taking a slot only either but I like the player and I think he could really help our offense by getting open. He makes contested catches too. His change of direction and footwork looks elite to me. That’s what wins in the slot. He gets open and we can really use that. watching more and more Harty this week has me believing that he’s going to play quite a bit on the outside. Playing him opposite Diggs puts a lot of pressure on the D if they want to double Diggs- either Harty will be 1 on 1 or the underneath will be wide open for a free 1st down. We weren’t able make teams pay for doubling Diggs as much as we should have. again- I’m not advocating for drafting him, but I think he’s a helluva player

I was pretty anti Josh downs due to him being slot only in many eyes but he looked dam good in his pro day today. He’ll be getting open. Is there a chance that we play Harty mainly outside? Diggs Harty outside with Downs in the slot. No size but those guys can present problems for coverage. That said…. I doubt we draft Downs, but he impressed me today

He doesn’t need a trade partner- he’s got it like that

Cheap free agents and/or the draft….

Yeah, the ST coach was fired for his mistake. Once that had happened, we still had 13 seconds to stop them from getting into FG range. It’s not THAT difficult of a task…. Kelce knew exactly what was coming and he made us pay. That’s on the DC You don’t say “well Farwell screwed up first, so if he didn’t screw up in the first place, Frazier never would’ve have had chance to screw up”. That’s just the most idiotic thing I’ve ever heard. They both screwed. Then Frazier found a way to do it again just 6 games later. I didn’t think he’d be fired but I thought it was in our best interests to move on.

Some may disagree, but these are the holes that I see. this is my assessment- Lacks explosiveness. Lacks speed to run with RBs and many TEs. Has major struggles getting off blocks. I like the player and would love him in rd 2. I think he’d be a solid yet unspectacular starter for several seasons, but will just be another Poz- solid player but not good enough to pay. Hopefully he’d be good enough to not be the reason we lose in the playoffs. I’d go with the upside of Simpson but he’s a bigger risk as a Mike. Hopefully we don’t have to worry about taking either player @ 27 because Beane will have traded down.

👍🏻 It’ll happen. Maybe not to Buffalo, but someone will trade for him. Most likely KC

Of course is a similar d. I never said it wasn’t. It’s not the same d, like your boy said. Text messages containing everything we already know means what? There’s a reason McD canned Frazier- because Mcdermott wants to do things a bit differently. He wants to do things his way….. not a combination of his and Leslie’s way. Awww my fanboy!! Hi buddy! you quoted a text message from troll boys friend- and you’re siding with him. Thanks. If you didn’t, there would be something wrong with the world. You think we’ve been running the same exact d with the same tendencies that he ran Carolina too. Good for you. you’ll both see that things will be a lil bit different next year.

Thank you. @Einstein….. but certainly not the same. which contradicts your statement. do you man. Do you

They aren’t tweet or articles. They were conversations with friends. 2 of which are professional sports bettors and really understand all of the nuances of the game. Recalling from memory- more aggressive and less predictable, more cover 3-4-6 (as opposed to mostly tampa 2), more disguised coverages and variations of coverages. Less of the same the fact that you didn’t post any shows me all I need to know. Smells like you made it up. As if your Carolina fan buddy watches all the Bills games to know that it’s the same D. 👌

Ask your buddy some specifics- tendencies, assignments, play calls. Your post reeks of you being you. The few people that I trust with X’s and O’s disagree with your buddies assessment.

OT = it - when fat fingered. 😉

It must change- until the playoffs.

I’d take Flowers over Hyatt on a coin toss. We have Josh Allen- protect him. Give me a RT over MLB all day every day.

Yeah….. I definitely don’t see Frazier returning to Buffalo.

I would’ve despised hiring from inside. I understand wanting him to concentrate on his HC responsibilities. i just think that he got the job because of his ability to call plays on D and his ability with X’s and O’s. His defense run by Frazier has always let us down on the biggest stage in January. I don’t see how someone else will get the results that McD is looking for. Especially a rookie play caller. I think that would’ve been an EPIC fail. Leaving him as the only choice. OT may cost him his job…. But another Lombardi-less season may have done the same.

that’s a tough sell to who? Most Bills fans I know are in favor of letting Frazier go and McD taking over. they tried. They came close. They played good d for the most part over 6 years…. Then they got out coached when it mattered most in the playoffs. I thought they should’ve fired Frazier after 13 seconds but I’m glad that he wasn’t retained after this year. So, I’ll ask again. Who do you think McD should’ve hired to call his defense? Would you rather Holcomb or Washington be the DC and call plays? Or do you think we should’ve fired him? Because bringing in a DC that runs a different defense wasn’t an option. If you think he should’ve been fired, I don’t have any problem with your opinion on this. I understand why people would want McD fired. If you think he should’ve hired a DC to run his defense, I have a major problem with this. Frazier couldn’t do it with years of experience under his belt….Holcomb/Washington have shown me nothing to think they could win us a SB calling plays on d for the first time in their careers. I’ve seen what a 1st year play caller can do on a contender. No more. if you think that he should’ve hired a Dc that runs a different defense, you are clueless (and I know you’re not clueless) as to who McD is. That was never an option.

So you didn’t answer anything I asked. I’ll answer yours though- yes- I think Frazier was the perfect guy to run his defense. He did a very job, until he didn’t. Which was every year in the playoff losses. They tried it, it didn’t work. It may not have worked for one or several reasons. Frazier was given the boot and McD is taking over full control of the D. His D run by him. Not his D run by Frazier. yes, from the couch, I think Washington has failed. Rousseau looks like the only keeper along the DL- top 10 pick Ed, average. 2nd rd AJ, fail. 2nd rd Boogie, fail. Part of his job is to develop our draft picks. yes- McD is finally putting his foot down and he thinks he’s going to call the right plays.

He’s a defensive HC and he wants his team to play HIS defense. There has never been any doubt that McD wants HIS defense being run and Frazier was a perfect guy to call the D because he’s had so much experience in it (and exp coaching with McD). Knowing that, should he bring someone in, teach them everything he wants and hope he can comprehend, learn and retain everything by opening day so he can call plays for a Super Bowl contender? Should he have promote Washington? The guy that has been in charge of developing the DL that we invest everything into…..and has failed. who do you think McDermott should’ve hired and have call plays knowing all of this? He can hire others to help him with head coaching duties…..but no one can call his defense like he can.

Which was assumed. I’m really looking forward to this .

Sweet! Thanks for organizing this again @Virgil. Always look forward to this exercise

He’s not a fit imo. Rd 4-5, roll the dice. Not before that imo. He’s a big liability vs the run.

If this means Cam Lewis gets cut

Depends on how Tre, Elam and Porter play. Let the season play out and see what happens. Still a year away from that decision, no reason to make it now
