Yes that’s it! Thank you sir

That's where I am at. Joe Marino did a mock draft and said there should be a speedster back available in the 5th round for the Bills, can't remember the kids name. Plus taking on Hunt= more money against the cap.

I wanted miami to overpay for him! I think 1 will go before 25. Saints at 28 is something to keep an eye on as they may draft one to compliment kamara. Prob not but wouldn't be shocked

I was hoping Miami was going to overpay for him

It usually is never smart to invest much in a RB IMO. Especially when the bills are really pressed against the cap.

Well done. Still the cowboys one has got to be my favourite. And just hearing tony romos reaction on top of it.

I think it depends. If he plays like he did last year, 9 is an absolute bargain. The reason I think he got less is because of his previous injury concerns, and I do believe he took a bit of a discount to remain in Buffalo.

This is beautiful news

My guess is he will play the taysum hill type of roll to a certain degree. Maybe get 5 snaps a game and comes in on 3rd and shorts and a few trick plays throughout the year.

Fair enough. I’m not disagreeing with you too much. I like the signing, but yes I would be disappointed if that means they can’t get a DE or Williams back.

Defensive line has a huge impact. If you get no pressure with a zone defence, you can have Brian urlacher and Patrick Willis as your linebackers and it wouldn’t matter much. Especially against rivers and Mahomes

What you are saying is very short sighted with all due respect. In those games, the bills played a lot of zone. (As per they usually do) You are making it seem like Milano was responsible for covering Kelce 1 on 1 and had coverage on jack doyle 1 on 1. That is simply not the case and so much goes into a zone defence. He also rushed the passer on multiple occasions in those instances.

Exactly. Didn’t even play TE at high school, was basically an after thought at ole miss behind all those weapons they had. You said it perfect, reminds me of josh, where he has rare abilities and just needs more reps

Dawson Knox

Ahh gotcha. Thanks for the explanation

Klein isn’t re structuring. He has all the leverage in the contract .

Fair points.

You don’t like Williams, or thinking cap space? I thought he was outstanding last year

Play him where though? I am hoping for a D Williams re sign! And got Dawkins cementing the left side.

Fair enough buddy. While I agree on some things you say, I differ on a few so we’ll have to agree to disagree on those. I Appreciate your well thought out and respectful posts 👍

I really don’t think having a great TE is the missing piece to the offence. Would it help? Sure but at what expense? Letting darryl Williams walk? Not worth it IMO. They got to be able to run the ball against light boxes and they just couldn’t do that last year and the chiefs exposed them On it. When the other team has 6 dbs all game and you can’t run again 5-6 man light boxes, that is by far the biggest issue.

I think we are in agreement that adding ertz would make their offence better and more versatile. I just don’t think it would be wise to add a player who’s going to be making a lot of money , when there really isn’t really a big need at the position. I am not saying Knox is the answer yet. But they did invest a fairly high pick on him and he’s still fairly raw, so I think you got to bet on him on year 3 that he’s going to have some big improvements. (Josh Allen for example taking the big step year 3 who was a raw player out of Wyoming )

Thank you for your detailed post. Here is what I will say though. 1. They are going to be paying Allen somewhere in the 40 mil range- whether they extend him this year or next remains to be seen- So in saying that, he is the franchise guy needless to say, and I think they should absolutely run schemes in which he is comfortable/excels in. 2. You just said it- the bills run schemes in which matches that personnel. Well that personnel and scheme they ran resulted in what, the 2nd or 3rd ranked offence in the NFL? And thats with Josh playing with a shoulder injury for multiples games and their WR2 being injured for the majority of the year. So my question to you is. Why would you want to change that? lol. And that doesn't even speak to the financial side of things and trading assets to get a player like ertz. He is making 11 million right now lol or somewhere in that range- eagles are going trade him not release him- Sure they may take some salary, but that's why i said 8-11 mil. The reason the Bills got crushed by the chiefs was because a variety of issues. 1. The couldn't run against super soft boxes 2. The o line got blown up all game 3. The Wrs were injured and ineffective., 4. Josh didn't have his best game.

Do you really want to spend 8-11 million on a player who would basically be a luxury and not a "need" though? I get it, they would be better with Ertz. How much better is the real question. Especially when they Bills do employ a lot of 10-11 personnel, and keeping in mind they are tight against the cap as is with much bigger holes to fill. (Darryl williams or replacement, Felciano or replacement, pass rusher, potential CB2, potential milano replacement)

Ya I see what you’re saying. I just don’t think the bills are going to switch up what they do best though , which is 11 personnel. Will they use 12 some times or some games? Sure I think they will as daboll is a very matchup based coach. But Allen is most comfortable in 11, that’s what they do best in, and I can’t see them bringing in a veteran TE who is going to cost a lot when they are already pressed up against the cap. Just my opinion sir, I could be wrong.
