The Rooney Rule (still) isn’t working?
klos63 replied to wppete's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't think it's necessarily racism, actually don't think that at all. It's just that the comfort level with retreads or just coaches with more experience which naturally excludes minorities and the thinking is , if you just give them a chance, you'll probably find who you are looking for. The Rooney rule is not about hiring unqualified minorities, it's about not giving a chance to the qualified ones. Do you think the Baylor coach hired by Carolina is more qualified than someone like Leslie Frazier? Eric Bienemy? He got $60 million- first time NFL head coach. -
My Off-Season Primer: Postion Group - TE
klos63 replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They don't need to be check down options. These are players that can get downfield. We don't like check downs. -
We; ran that play a fair amount this season and it always seemed to work well. It was well designed again, just like they wrote it up, poor execution, just like the 3rd and 18, right call, poor execution. Damn I can't imagine fans around the league give any more of a crap about Houston than they do Buffalo.

My Offseason Primer, Position Group: QB
klos63 replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Allen is the long term solution. Like you said, pretty raw to start and had quite a bit of improvement in year 2 with better players around him. Regarding Barkley, I don't think he's very good but I don't expect the Bills to make a change there. Most backups look like crap when entering mid game, those with less familiarity look even worse. For that reason alone, I think they keep him. But I wouldn't be opposed to an upgrade if available. -
And we really ran that play well all season long too. Allen probably scored. He would have had 2 more lineman in front of him.
-
I know the criticism coming out was that he could only run straight line routes, that's not true, but even when he does, he's really effective. He's playing extremely well.

Did the offensive line really improve that much?
klos63 replied to Meatloaf63's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't know. Everyone said that about Dawkins too. -
These guys are correct. The returner didn't know the rule and he screwed up. By rule, it should have been a TD for us.

Do you mean 'stay at tackle'? I honestly don't know. I'll trust the coaching staff and Beane on this one. -

It was a huge improvement over last season. Other than Dawkins, are any of last seasons linemen still even in the NFL? Ford needs to continue to improve, same with Dawkins. -
2020 Bills Unrestricted Free Agents

I would explain it that you cannot turn over your entire roster and fill it with every player that you want in just 2 seasons. The plan wasn't to build a super bowl contender in just two seasons. Some players hold spots until you find their replacement. It takes time. I think the team gets a pretty high grade on how they upgraded the roster and cap situation by year 3. I expect a very aggressive offseason as we are now entering our championship window. -

Or you can say we focused on the defense for the first 2 seasons and last offseason we focused on offense. -

I don't see Milano as someone that gets a big 2nd contract here. Those contracts for good but not great players are what hurts your cap. -

Who did we have that was better? The focus the first 2 years was on defense, this past offseason was offense, hence, 9 new starters. It's not about loyalty. -

We had nobody better than those people and he got rid of them as soon as we had a replacement. He cut Benjamin during the season. Wasn't Ducasse benched last season? -

McDermott finished his 3rd year here, how many players could he have built up loyalty with that needed to be moved? -

Contracts also come off the books, draft choices will beat out some veterans, the cap will rise... it's a fluid situation that I wouldn't really worry about. And we won't sign all our own free agents, no team does that. It's not feasible.
