    Beane has a history of red shirting players. Maybe this could be one of those. “Hey, sign here, rehab all year on IR, and compete with Bates to be our long term C in 2024.”

    Who has  Beane "red-shirted" to create this "history"? Can't stash healthy players on I.R.

    Dawkins - McGovern - Morse - Torrence - Brown

    Quess    - Boettger    - Bates  - Edwards -  Doyle

    (Doyle?) - (Broeker?)                                    (Gouraige?)

     

    edit:

    Broeker either PS, or in Boettger's spot if Beane pull's off a trade.

    I dont know enough about UDFA OT Richard Gouraige yet. He might be able to replace Doyle at backup RT, and Doyle moves to backup LT. He might make the PS. He might just be camp fodder.

     

    That right side could be REAL NASTY if those dudes get their stuff together and develop.

     

    Or does Bates or Edwards have a chance of starting over Torrence, and McGovern plays RG?

     

     

    Greg Mancz?

  3. I dont know if he played 46 of 46,I think he missed a couple games during that stretch.

    But, besides that,why would the Bills sign him? They already have several guys who can play center if Morse goes down.

    They won't be able to stash him on the Practice Squad....what is his current health status? Will he be able to practice this summer? Then what? Carry him on the 53,tying up a roster spot,in case of emergency?

    i was on record stating this almost immediately williams is not our MLB.  got roasted, too.

     

    milano will move to the middle in a hybrid role. he will not be the same player he has been for us. i fear this will beat him up and age him quickly.

     

    klein will fill in for the traditional mlb role on run downs. we really could use a donta hightower type for run downs. even a brandon spikes. if we had takeo spikes i'd pop a rod 6 to midnight faster than a blink of an eye.

     

    regardless, the middle of this defense is now a liability and hoping that our front 3 / 4 has improved enough to cover this up. i am not sure they have.

    Nah,you're still roasted.  MLB might not be on the roster yet, but won't be Milano

    Alright, so hear me out. When we drafted Dorian Williams, i was like “cool, we got our guy!” But was surprised to hear that they think of him more like an olb. 
     

    Does anyone else think they may try to shift Milano to the middle and have Dorian take his spot? 
     

    I know Milano doesn’t have the prototypical size, but McDermott loves him and is always in his ear on the sidelines. 
     

    The communication aspect would be taken care of (as I kind of see him taking the qb of the defense role already this season), and he’s definitely got the goods in the coverage aspects of the job. 
     

    He’s got great instincts. Idk, maybe there’s a piece I haven’t considered but I just don’t know what they plan to do at the position. Maybe someone already on the roster for obvious running downs, and a change-up for passing downs? 

     


     

     

    NO. This has been discussed. Milano is NOT a MLB,he is an excellent coverage WLB. Why would you disrupt BOTH LB spots?

    I'm not convinced Edmunds replacement is on the roster,yet..

    I would love to see the Bills make a trade for him. I checked what the Ravens are still in need of and DT was one of the positions of need. Now that the Bills signed Poona Ford could Ed Oliver be expendable in some kind trade for Queen? I don’t know what would be fair compensation in a trade scenario involving these 2 but I’m not against the concept if it were to materialize. 

    Adding Ford and trading away Oliver leaves you right back where you started. Why (assuming another team would take on his contract) would you weaken your DLine?

    I think it’s actually possible. I think he has 3 more games than Ditka did. Also, Kincaid has a winning combination of being a great receiver, the team not concerned about him being a good blocker and an excellent QB and passing offense. 

    He won't sniff 1000 yards with Diggs on this team

    He has been hurt, but he's certainly played at a higher level than Brown up to now. I understand he's set a price for teams to talk to him, but eventually reality will set in. If Brown makes a good step up, so much the better. Dalton Risner is still out there too if we're so inclined, but they're already commited to McGovern it appears. I think Dawkins - Risner/McGovern - Morse/Bates - Torrence/Bates - Wynn/Brown looks much better than last year's OL. I doubt either of these signings will happen, but either one would be nice.

    Bills do not need Risner

    I am slightly confused by the defensive tackle thing. Isn't the issue less about numbers at the position this year and more about not having any under contract for next year (so facing yet another total makeover of the spot which no doubt will involve Beane spending all of his FA pennies there)? So how does signing a vet to a 1 year deal help? 

     

    The attraction to drafting a guy was a cheap 4 year deal. An expensive 1 year deal makes less sense to me, even if they end up cutting Tim Settle.

     

    Yes, it makes sense to extend a couple guys currently on the roster. But apparently  Beane is okay with one-year deals.
