The Upcoming Trade Deadline: 2025 Edition

Sure I agree they certainly could. I have a very strong feeling that McBeane disagree. -
The Upcoming Trade Deadline: 2025 Edition

I genuinely am not sure where a trade for a WR makes sense for the Bills. Unless you’re shipping out Coleman, or unloading Samuel, I don’t see a way they’re going to acquire a player who will take on meaningful snaps. Will they surplant Palmer, a recent FA we paid good money to? Is Coleman riding the pine? Decrease Shakir’s already average snap numbers? I don’t see it making much sense -
I think this is a great discussion point. Its obvious Brady likes maneuvering personnel to try and exploit matchups. For all the ho-humming in this thread there probably isn’t enough credit given to them in how they’ve found combinations that take advantage of a defense. That said, I tend to agree with most here and think they’ve taken this chess game to the extreme and have started to out-smart themselves. When you have JA17, an explosive runner like cook, and some decent pass catch options, too often are we getting cute with rotating personnel trying to play “gotchya” It almost gives off the impression that we’re reliant on being multiple to have success, as opposed to having success because we evolve from play to play. I’d like to see them continue with the varying personnel usage, but also try and limit it to a degree. Feel free to run your 13 personnel on for a play or two, bring in Gilliam for a snap or even go 5 wide with Ty Johnson. As long as we can find some success out of our “base” personnel (Cook, Kincaid, Shakir, Coleman, Palmer) with more regularity, they can sprinkle in the creative looks here and there. Enough of the Dawson Knox jet sweets like we’re KC running 2pt plays in the preseason.

I’d also add that the general fans understanding of an audible is that it’s the Wild West. When a play is called and they offense is presented with a certain look, they are generally audibling to a predetermined play. It is rather unlikely Allen is out there just calling his own plays. Sure there is times where he will pick a match up or choose to throw a bubble instead of hand it off but he is not simply winging it out there. Plenty of time throughout the week is dedicated to what to do when given a certain look. Hard to know if the struggles are execution related or schematic. It’s possible guys aren’t winning match ups. It’s also possible the audible or play calls they’re getting into aren’t putting them in positions to win.
