  1. Torrence has had a good rookie year overall. Definitely struggled as of late IMO, especially in pass pro. He’s faced some beasts this year (Chris Jones, Q Williams, C Wilkins, F Cox, J Davis, etc). Lots to like about his game. He’s been okay down the stretch. PFF aside, he has struggled at times lately. My biggest concern with the OLis their ability to recognize and quickly pick up the exotic pressures/blitz spags will bring. Torrence/Brown really struggled early on in the season picking up twists but they have seen to be better lately. I think Torrence is fine. As I mentioned above, he’s had his struggles at times. Personally I still think this is the best line Josh Allen has ever had. The issue with offensive line play is that they must work in concert. One player can completely blow an entire play from a missed assignment. You can have really good players, and if they mess up on 1 play, that’s 5 plays across the line that are dangerous to Allen. It’s more about when/how those missed assignments happen that makes it so impactful or meaningless. To some degree I think that’s why we see Brady bringing in extra bodies into the box. On certain downs/distances/plays he values protection more than extra route runners. They want to get it right up front, so they can take their shot. Delegating more bodies this week to pass pro is not the answer IMO. I’d rather see more spread vs this team and use alignment and formation to help weed out pressure looks or blitzers. Spreading the field horizontally using formation and play selection really can control how a defense can try and confuse you up front. That being said, when they do bring the exotic looks and extra rushers, I’d rather not have the extra guy in. I want them in a hot route, giving Allen a quick access to get the ball out. Its such a chess game and fun to think about, but at the end of the day, we can only guess what or how the defense will try to create havoc for our offense and how we might try to counter it. All in all, Brady loves his condensed formations, tight bunches and variable personnel groupings. I don’t anticipate it, but I would be very curious to see what a no huddle with 12 personnel (Diggs/Shakir/Kincaid/Knox/Cook).
  2. one of the other aspects I’m weighing is that I’ll be needing hundreds of feet of extension cord. How do you guys generally hook up? Extension cord directly into the outlet or do you run one to a power strip and monitor your watts that you put into it?
  3. I will add in my experience that skill and semi-skill players were graded off of 4 points per play. In addition to your three, alignment was also a scored factor.
  4. Is the 90 traffic really that bad?! I generally can get to Rochester from my house in the greater buffalo area in 58 minutes. Seems crazy needing to go almost an hour North/South just to get East/West
  5. Lockport to OP via transit would be a 40 minute haul alone.
  6. The NFL pays PFF for raw data. There has to be some merit to what they do. It is one evaluation system, a piece, not the gospel.
  7. I think this idea is not suited for our personnel. Bringing in 5 down lineman will help against the run but significantly impact our abilities in coverage
  8. Cooking shows that are tutorials on a recipe with pre-measured fresh ingredients, no dishes, prepped and ready with instant results that taste delicious!
  9. Longest week ever. What time is practice? Maybe I’ll go find my cleats see if they need any scout team help as a tackling dummy.
  10. If they don’t have the room, what’s the point? We can simply activate him from PS as needed. He gets paid in full. We keep a roster spot open. As you said, unless you have an available roster spot, it’s win win.
  11. This 💯 Seems like our latest efforts to try and limit this has been that bubble screen and quick access throw. A lot of it will rely on the skill players to be able to recognize these pressures and adjust accordingly. My game plan would be to go no huddle. I think limiting our own substitutions and keeping them on the field, getting in formation at the LOS early will force them to show their hand and make communication difficult for their defense. Hopefully it’ll limit some of their ability to try and bring exotic and confusing looks. I wouldn’t want a hurry up, but I would want to be purposeful in using the entirety of the play clock to try and find our best match up while dictating their ability to substitute and get in ideal looks.
  12. This is generally a look you’d use to stop the run and keep you Lbs clean. I don’t see how? We don’t really do this. We’re more likely to get that double A dog look with both backers. Putting the 6 on the LOS generally allows for simulated looks or pressures. A 5 man front is not ideal vs this team IMO. We really are going to want to try and stop the run with our front 6 (traditional 4-2). Putting any more resources into that with alignment really hurts our ability to play zone.
  13. Feel bad for Martin too. He has really been hitting them well lately too.
  14. My assumption that this “signing” was to the practice squad in replacement of Fournette. He’ll be one of the elevations this week, likely along with Klein.
  15. Didn’t specify in the notification via espn but I’m guessing it’s practice squad in replacement of Fournette
  16. Haack signs with Bills per Schefter
  17. I love playing arm chair GM as much as the next guy. Training camp speculation, the draft, free agency, even week to week estimating who will be active or who might be actived on IR…but: People honestly questioning why Murray > Fournette and second guessing McDermott and Beane’s fathomed allegiance to Murray as some egregious disregard for the uber talented Fournette is a fabricated fan-fiction. Sometimes we read too far into the tea leaves.
  18. Yes that’s why teams don’t do it. He is one of the least pressured QBs in the league. I see no reason to. We’ve been holding our own vs them. What’s the reason to mix it up? Injury?
  19. Not something they’ve done historically. We’ll see if it changes with the injuries. I don’t expect it to.
  20. No they still need to bring in someone with elite strength/speed/quickness who can win at LOS. Shakir is shifty and reliable, and poised to be a contributor with great upside in terms of YAC. I don’t believe he stretches the defense vertically enough or is the precision route runner you want to be relying on from the outside. That being said, I’d love to see those bubble screens Diggs gets to to #10. Maybe we need less Edwards and 6 OL, fewer Knox/Gilliam snaps and more Shakir. For a 5th rounder, he’s found his groove in this offense.
  21. Clean. No Jersey tug. No body turn or restriction. A legal play that 95% of non biased fans would agree with. Right? It’s not exactly like this was a game changer. People are funneling their frustrations at the refs, and for once, they don’t deserve it here.
  22. Guy is a d bag. It wasn’t all that long ago he was smack talking to fans after beating the chiefs in KC for the superbowl rematch. Clearly he blew his load and has ever sense been a limp dick hot loser. Glad we have McDermott
