Nah, we just gave it to Oliver. 😭 Sorry, it was an easy shot. The RT and MLB has been talked to death so we’ll find out soon what McD’s going to do.

I was thinking the same. There will be certain teams we want more press man coverage and that is his strength. Benford was made for more zone backing u- Dane. Dane’s going to get the starting job.

Slow your roll their Cochise. Just like the sky wasn’t falling last week, this week, we’re not a lock for the SB. It’s a long year, and yes, they looked sharp today. Ive been cautiously optimistic about this 2023 team stronger than 2022, but again we haven’t played a snap.

For me, once a guy’s drafted, it can’t be a consideration as to playing time. I watched the highlights on you tube and to their credit, each quarter was 8-10 minutes so didn’t miss much of the game. There are injuries every year and we need 4 quality CB’s. It’s just instead of #2 as projected from the draft, he’s #4. It’s certainly a disappointment for a 1st pick, but the idea was good. I think McBeane is going to keep him. On a separate note, I liked what I saw from Benford.

This team doesn’t need more leaders, and players criticizing other players isn’t leadership. Demonstrating an introspective desire for perfection and discipline shows leadership. Letting your teammates know I won’t personally allow any sloppiness from myself. I’m going to keep working on each basic skill until I master one. That’s leadership. Not tolerating mediocrity and surrounding yourself with like minded others is infectious with groups in the team until you don’t want to not be on the bus. McD has flipped a horrible culture for 17 years of crap. It seems some here have a short memory. I’m 55 and I remember what it’s like when it really sucks. We just finished 13-3. Do you know how ridiculous this sounds to Houston fans as an example? That’s a lack of leadership. Las Vegas, AZ, and even Dallas. That’s a lack of leadership. Players want to come to Buffalo.

Seven, im not banging on you, but like the guys on Movin the Chains say to callers, add this guy or this contract. Were it coming from? think about it bud. If you are critical and say we need 7, ok. Where’s it coming from and of not cost implications fine. Guys on the board provide wish lists but they don’t provide opportunity costs to put in business terms. I do the same with the draft. Just use the JJ famous draft cost board and when guys propose a draft move up or down I always ask why. As maybe you I’ve been very successful in business for a long time. we all need to think through “we need 7”. Ok, which offensive unto loses a slot. once you have time to digest what you think is the 53, what’s the exchange? What’s the cost of there is one? another example. Guys say, get Jonathan Taylor! Ok. What player or draft picks are you giving up, is it a requisite value, whee are you getting the $ to pay him, does he fit into the scheme we are trying to employ? I just wish guys would provide real cogent and complete answers that are .logical as I think a lot of the guys on the board are opening to new ideas. this reply, you never answered the questions. I know the concerns and respect that POV. I do, but answer the question. Take away an o linemen when we already basically lost one to retirement and another to a season ending injury. Do you want to go to 2 QB’s? 3RB’s given one will be Gilliam as this team values him. What about that gamble. Again who? Defense. ThTs another litany of questions. Do you see where I’m going with this train of thought. I would accept we are taking 6 and think through who you think meets all our needs. That includes backup ability and ST play. Not just WR. WR 5 and 6 almost never make the field so I’m pragmatic. Shorter can be a ST gunner. Maybe red zone later. isabella could fill in for Harty we think if we’re as he was managed on a train wreck at AZ. Nothing is in question on the front four. we’re going with Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, and Harty. If you want Shakir, even though a kid round 5th round pick has done nothing and picked almost the exact same spot as shorter, then who doesn’t get a musical chair on Offense? I swear I’m not antagonizing. Maybe you think we can just get by with DK2 at TE even though the team wants a 12 personnel do cut Morris. Ok, but unlikely. O Line. They have historically been hurt and we almost always like the league keep 9, but who and why? I hope my tone comes across the right way. It’s not to bust your chops at all. Just finish. Add something, take something away. What?

Where do you take it from? Add that to your comment. Tell me where you provide more scarcity at another position group on offense as you’re not going to take from the defense. Youre comment is only half the full comment.

No, because a perfect backup is a capable guy who is polished, experienced, can give you 2 & 2 in a 4 game stretch. Your third is a later round developmental guy who needs work. That’s what he is at the end of the day. You don’t trade for a 3rd place project. You just don’t. If you see a guy in the 5th rd next year in the draft who has saw talent you can develop over 4 years, you do it. Youre second is like a Trubisky guy, or Keenum, or Bridgewater. Bridgett and so on. The 2nd string guy doesn’t have to have a style like Josh because there is only one of him. So a pocket guy is fine for a couple of games. Someone who makes good decisions. I was a little disappointed Fitzy last year didn’t want to finish with us to hang out for the year. When we are blowing out teams, he’d get a standing ovasion for mop up duty. He’s moved on and good for him as he’s done a nice job on Prime.

Besides the first series I can see Briwn getting extensive line play along with Torrence, and the other three rest. I wouldn’t have Knox last more than a series, but longer for Kincaid. I think they go longer than a series for Sherfield, and Harty, and Isabella all game. Cook and Murray can go a couple of rounds, then just let the guys who will be PS for the rest. The only guys on defense who should play past the first series are all these MLB guys competing for the starting job. Just my perspective.

First, TY Chans. This was thorough, and had a fair and measured approach. There are hits and misses in every draft. This will be 5th or more time I’ve said this point. A man I respect and most of you as well, Bill Polian. He has said multiple times on Late Hits on NFLR where he is a host on Wed nights has self proclaimed he hit on 58% of his drafts lifetime. Now he wears the gold jacket, and is in the Bills history books as an all time great. It places things in perspective for one of my heroes growing up is giving his audience realistic expectations. The 49ers and Bills have had hits and misses. If Purdy was healthy in last years playoffs, there may have been a different outcome in the NFCCG and the 49ers may have been in the SB. I like Chan that you live the Bills, can be both positive and critical of the Bills with the heart of seeing the most out of the Bilks even though it like every other team has flaws. I consider SF and Philly on the same tier for the NFC. Dallas is ina lower tier not just because I hate them. I will say because of Dabs and Schoen am quietly rooting for the Giants. I want as many of our guys who don’t make the 53 gets tagged to the Giants. Give Daboll something to work with to hold up against Dallas. They have the coaching advantage as McCarthy is an idiot.

I’m sure Beane is shopping Basham or Epenesa, Cam Lewis, maybe even Shakir. If he can get value, we have the depth. My thoughts are we may go with 4 DE’s and 5 DT’s. I like Ford, and the others are valuable especially we have the time to allow Phillips to get to 100%. On the other hand we can live with 4 on the end if we have Von on PUP for 4 weeks. Then when Von is cleared we’ll probably shed Shaq. At the end of the day we only need only 1 either Boogie or Epenesa. Not both. Beane May as well get something in draft compensation. They were both 2nd rd picks. Were too deep at WR so if he stuck with history, we’ll probably end up with Diggs, Davis, Sherfield, and Harty. Isabella can back up Harty, and Shorter as the 6th as he’ll end up on ST, and maybe if he’s lucky at the end of the year be in a couple of red zone plays for the back shoulder pass with his size. My point. Shakir is expendable. I won’t keep going on Cam, but you guys get my logic and the OP is right. Beane loves August surprise trades as well as August extensions. We already have I think with the comp pick I think 10 picks. Add to that and maybe we get a couple more. Knowing Beane’s history, that gives him a lot of latitude to bundle picks next year to get higher quality players. Beane wasn’t GM of the year two years ago by accident. This is why I tune out to all the chicken crying the sky is falling on Beane sucks crap. His peers consider him one of the best, yet a small minority of TBDers think they are smarter and more accomplished than the experts who wield the wand. There’s only 32 of them and ours has built a team with talent that drew 10-6 (because we didn’t care about the Jets finale), 13-3, 11-6, and 13-3. Yeah he’s horrible. The negativity has gone to new heights on the team that has one of the best records for the last 4 years. That makes us 2nd overall. KC 52-14 Bills 47-18 GB 47-19 Bal 43-22 SF 42-24 Im not Pollyanna on this team as it needs to improve in some areas, but I’m not taking a doom and gloom approach either after we had one embarrassing loss in a meaningless game. Just a measured approach in looking at this team. I love my Bills, and I also see some her warts. After all it’s not Madden. I think Monday will be more interesting than Saturdays game as that will be about getting 43-69 lined up with the last 10 of the 53 and the PS. Monday on the other hand May end up inventful of the past is a prelude to the future as it pertains to Beane’s track record.

Barley, Agreed, but they had to bolster other aspects of the roster. I look at Dorian as a red shirt year backup to Milano, while being groomed for the mic in 24. I can see as we have more pics next year and with the comp an extra 3rd, taking a Tackle high unless Brown somehow puts it together. This is a familiar scene with Dawkins thinking he’s in the 70’s he goes to camp to get in shape vs being in shape. He will put it together. He’s cheap for a LT on a 2nd contract. Its too early, but we’ll need a Safety as well as Hyde’s contract will be up and we’ll have one more year with Poyer. Take the safety a year early so they can groom him for the Hyde or Poyer role and Rapp swing in 24 for the starting job vs. big nickel this year and backing up our 30 something guys. Lastly, we’ll probably take a WR high as they are cheaper than free agents.

That’s why i wrote earlier Carolina would be an excellent landing spot from Indy’s standpoint. A weak team wit a rookie QB needing help and in the opposite conference. Indy wouldn’t want to trade with a contender in the AFC. There are three competing players. Indy, Walker, but also the buying team. Sure Miami may want him, but that doesn’t mean if the same offer is given between Miami and Carolina, where is Indy siding on that fence.

So where do the Bills leverage their future by extending who to free up another $12 mil/yr. Also, how high of a draft pick do we give up as Indy says he’s worth a 1st. according to Indy.

Shocker! An ESPN analyst who is so far out there it’s laughable. Not directed towards you eman as you’re a friend. My sarcasm is towards that ars clown of a network. They replaced years ago analysis with click bait hot takes.

Lime, that and we’ll most likely see more Rapp inserted vs. heavy run and TE set teams as he would compliment Taron. Keep Taron out there for obvious passing downs.

The article yesterday based on a pod cast with Donte Whitney espousing how we are in the hunt or have an interest in Tayler is just a guy out of the spotlight, trying to get back into it. We have no $, and we already have 3 RB’s who can get the job done. I can see Murray as the compliment to Cook in the beginning while Harris heals up with his leg issue. Then insert Harris for the bulk of the season allowing Murray to rest as we’ll need him for December and the playoffs. We already pass 67% of the time, and the league avg us around 60%. We may want to float down to the low 60’s to ease Allen from feeling we have to pass on every play.

Defense, I work I. Rare disease orphan drug sales and our corporate decisions are very easy to see the ramifications of choices, but I am very careful as to what I say and even more what I write about my company. It’s the way of the world. It’s why you get some criticism from the WGR analysts, but not OBL. They work for the Pegulas.

I was bummed, but my extended family lives in Hamburg and OP. My nephew drives by on Abbott RD and told me we have to find another place to go for a game each year. Sucks as I really needed a shot out of a bowling ball and some extra Keith hip and mustard all over. 😂

Ya got me. Ya got the tater. Sorry, Ron White reference. One of my nephews told me Hammers is closed with the construction of the new stadium. He’s very respeknsible and was our place as the home opener has been a thing for years. We had to break for COVID, but I’ve created this thing where cousins, sons, nephews all hit the game and in 19 we had 23 of us coming from different areas of the country. Not sure where we’re going, but should be fun.

DOOMED I SAY DOOMED!!!!! That really made me laugh. To the OP, I’m in. I’m flying my three kids up there from Tampa and my boys are going with me, my nephews, some cousins, etc. it will be a blast. Im just bummed Hammers is closed due to the construction. That pace is half the fun prior to the game. DM me if you want to catch up and that goes for any of the true blue TBDers. I’d love to finally meet some of you jabrones. I classify in that category as well. If anything you get to listen to my two sons bust my chops for an hour or two.

I couldn’t have written any better my friend. We definitely have questions, but we also have many additions. I just wish this board occasionally take a measured approach.

Baller, it’s like he’s stuck in a time where NFL guys went to camp to get in football shape. Vance why coaches had two a days and more. I know but as he ages, he’ll have to adapt. The reason is why Peters lasted until he’s 40. The man came into camp ready to play. Now Dawkins isn’t as bad as our lovely previous DT, Dareus. Hell get there. After 5 years it’s like clockwork with him.

Dawkins seems to always have a crap preseason camp each year. He comes through at the needed time. Brown I agree because of a number of factors. I made apologies for him until this camp. There were good reasons, but there are none this year. He’d Bette the this act together the next three weeks. I feel good about the other four.
