It’s funny how not a single post in this thread references any film reviews of Ed, or reviews of his play by those who review film. Instead it’s just a boatload of self proclaimed experts on DT play mostly who know little too nothing. You don’t need to be a film review expert to find articles from those who are, or a video on YouTube. The best thing about it is it’s really hard to bs it. Read/ watch and learn that Ed is a good DT and at what looks like 11.5 mil over 5 years, is being paid like a good DT. Might the injuries present a risk? Sure. But that’s only 2 people I’ve read… The rest of you who have decided that he sucks are laughable. This move very likely frees up more 2023 cap too, and we shall see what happens there.

Everything that made Kyle Williams a very good player is what is holding back Ed. Kyle learned how to read the key indicators being presented by the opponent and use them to his advantage. Things like what kind of stance an opponent is in, if he leaning forward or back or tilted slightly in a direction, what a man in motion means on the play and how that changes where the ball might go, etc. etc. It's not that Ed is too dumb to pick that up, and its not that he's not studying film (he wouldn't play if he didn't), its more that he has not made it to the advanced levels of studying film that give some of these guys an edge. Being "late" when you're "light" more often than not spells trouble post-snap.

I will today if I get a chance. I am very familiar with Ross though and he has fairly regular appearances on WGR. Plus Happy Days did a fine job explaining what was said. This sounds like typical Ross, which is thought provoking but I find myself fairly regularly not agreeing with his takes. His points that take away from McD are fine in a vacuum, but NOT fine relative to many of the other coaches listed ahead of him. But seriously Dabol?? ( took a better roster than the 2017 Bills and did the same thing McD did with less) McDaniel?? (underachieved and mismanaged a life threatening injury to his starting QB)... Lots of the names ahead of McD are clown level. Ok I've already spent way too much time on this topic.

That's fine. I just find it to be BS, and therefore clickbait. You do you, man... I respect it. He just "Found a way" to make his current shtick work, and set the bar there. I still don't think he actually believes he's that low. That's crazy. McD has been just as big a part in developing the players on the team as with coaching them. A part of why they are so good is credited to him. There is no one in the world that can tell me those coaches I listed are better than McD. Its just stupid on an extreme level. McD is a top 10 head coach in the NFL. Top 15 at worst. When you can take the dog crap we had in 2017 and bring it to a 9-7 record, then also not disappoint consistently year after year with 11 to 13 wins on a better roster, that's a very good coach. a top 10 coach. Tucker got exactly what he wants to get out of this.

There is no way that even Ross Tucker actually believes that there are 21 guys better than McD. McDaniel? O'Connell? LaFleur?, Dabol? Rivera? Staley???? LMAO. Just no way. Pure 100% unadulterated click bait (and its working).

but but but, Lofton! (Kidding, although what a great timely pickup he was back when). I imagine the #'s are quite glaring. HOWEVER, consider with DHop that speed was never his greatest asset. It's really been positioning and hands with him for his career. Might make him a more valuable add post 30.

I've not seen a more well targeted click bait since that d*** nosed Chiefs fan guy's antics. I didn't think Tucker rolled this way, but yep, yep he does.... Bottom third is absolutely laughable!

Maybe they tried to

B more jumped us!

Harris over Cook? Na

Pretty sure it already was, no?

Hell yes!!!! Great great value

I can dream

Yes he is. Look at the #2's across the league. He's somewhere in the middle of that pack.

Lots of 12 personnel coming ( 2 wr, 2 te, 1 rb), I love that! Peyton Manning offense which can dictate to the defense! If he pans out this is great for the offense.

I ran to the podium in the 1st round on this one!

Not being able to make the massive salary work with our almost entirely filled cap does not equal "sit on his hands". Classic short-sighted NFL fan commentary. As if you or I EVER have any idea how hard they try to make certain things happen.

The 2011 Home Win vs the Pats. I was coaching for my son's pop-warner football team and tried to block out all of the Bills related commentary in the stands so I could watch the game on my dvr later that day. Everything was going fine until the PA announcer at the school said "the score was tied with less than a minute left in the Bills Patriots game" 😀 I still watched it of course!

Reasonable reply even though I still wouldn't touch it. If that were the case though, they better then trade away Cook for some value for it to make any sense at all.

Regardless of how good he is or where he lands, that move would make less than zero sense for the Bills with the QB they have, the offense they run with and the RB personnel they already have in place (Cook is perfect for this offense, and Harris can get needed yards). It would be amongst the worst drafting strategies in Bills history, and there have been some bad ones especially the ones outside of Beane and Polian.

I looked at moving our 3 but ultimately didn't want to eat the additional cost of jumping into the 200 level.
