In the regular season when it’s a grind and you make more mistakes, sure. But in the playoffs when teams are more focused, how often does a punt block really happen? If it does the odd time, I would chalk it up as more luck as it’s very rare. Hidden yardage in the regular season against bad QBs ? Sure that would help. But When you play the elite QBs, 5-8 yards makes very little difference IMO and I respectfully think that’s a very old school/outdated way of thinking . The rules favour the offence and 5-8 yards for elite QBs is absolutely nothing.

Do you think it really matters if you make Mahomes/Burrow start at the 12-17 yard line instead of the 20-25 though? I don’t whats so ever. The way I see it: Have a good kicker, and just don’t be “incompetent “ at kick/punt coverage. Even though I disagree with your points, I appreciate the research/time you put into this.

Cam Lewis. Had to make a lot of space for him

Ya, He Played well also

I was looking at the cap hit per special teams player, which they are 3rd. For total cap hit, looks about 6th if I’m reading it right. Which is still high on a team that’s tight against the cap IMO

I think the important stat is “cap hit per special teams players”. So the bills are 3rd? Which is what I think a lot of us were saying, that they pay their special teamers well. The Joe Marino research also had a ton of flaws in it. It goes back to the old “causation vs correlation “. New England won a ton of Super Bowls and always had good special teams which spiked up the “averages”. Did NE win Super Bowls cause of Tom Brady, or did they win because of good special teams? Let’s be honest here lol. Tom Brady won a SB in tampa with the 25th ranked special teams

I think that part is very debatable. If you want to say last year, sure. But in his 5 year career , I would definitely not say Edmunds was a very good player.

Now THIS was the news I was waiting to hear!!!🎉

Us “morons” call a spade a spade. His first 4 years he was an extremely inconsistent player. (Which is why he probably wasn’t signed to a long term extension before year 5) Last year he was good, no doubt. But for 18 mil a year for a guy who is very up and down and doesn’t do much in big games? No thanks

Chiefs have two guys under rookie contracts though that are absolute studs. And Thuney, Taylor they are paying top dollar for .( I think Orlando Brown is a free agent but could be wrong)

Was never a big Edmunds fan. He definitely had a good year last season, but for 18 mil a season? Goodbye..

Miami and KC are two teams I know a lot about and they don’t invest a ton in special teams. They use rookies/cheap vets to fill those slots and aren’t “designated special team players”

I don't know for every team, but I know for a few that I follow and they don't commit those resources to special teams the Bills do. And we are also tight to the cap, so there is also that..

Every team seems to have 1-2 niche special teams guys they pay for, seems like the bills have 3-4 every year

They just can’t help themselves when it comes to signing niche special team players… Love the Martin signing, not a fan of the Matakevich

Yes sir I agree with you. One more concussion to Tua and their season is basically over as well.

I would agree with all of this except one thing: Miami was SHREDDING GB before Tua got his concussion. Had like 250 yards or something in the 1st half with 2 TDs, and this was against the number 1 pass defence

True. The way I look at it, we sucked for 2 decades. I can stomach 5 bad years for a SB win lol

I would still do that trade off all day. If bills won a SB and then sucked for the next 5-7 years, sign me up.

Interesting just checked Ramsey’s contract and there is no dead cap if the Dolphins cut him after this year. But I would assume Ramsey is going to want a new contract and that’s part of the reason he was getting traded. (Rams couldn’t afford it)

Yep. Even in that super bowl game he got torched. Still a good player, but he’s an overpaid guy who’s an idiot and is on the last 3rd of his career.

1. Turning 29 which is aging in the NFL, especially in a position like corner. 2. I would strongly disagree he had the best season in his career as he got to torched a ton. 3. He has a massive cap hit

Fine by me if the Dolphins want to blow their cap space on an aging corner who isn’t elite anymore

I would guess around 2 years between 9-10 total. Can’t see a 27 year old rotation back getting 3 years, but you never know

Easy one for me, London Fletcher
