The USFL did this also and the transparency is great. No harm in letting the fans experience the process of the call, especially when it's a long pause of a minute or two while it's being sorted out.

My biggest pet peeve with this front office and coaching staff is rearing its ugly head yet again this offseason. We pick Elam with our 1st round pick last year. He is a physically gifted cover corner with great size and ball skills. When given a chance to play late last year, he was excellent against guys like Tyreek Hill and Jamar Chase, two of the best receivers in the league. And he's in a competition for the #2 corner position... with Dane Jackson... A couple days ago Chris Brown mentioned on One Bills Drive he may lose this competition because of... now get this... his ability to set the edge in the run game... To me, this kind of thing is exactly why this staff can not get over the hump and win it all. This is a passing league. The defense is in a unique position to have two elite corners on either side of the field, which frees up Poyer and Hyde to make plays, allows Taron Johnson to be more aggressive in run support and gives the defensive line that extra second needed to get to the quarterback. But we're worried about run support? From an outside corner? That's why Benford and Jackson are rotating out there? Who by the way, are typically getting torched in coverage. Dane Jackson is said to always be around the ball... okay but a yard behind the receiver while he's making a big play isn't exactly what I'd be looking for as a coach when evaluating a defensive back. And Elam's strengths and weaknesses coming out of Florida were no mystery, this isn't something that should have come as a shock to McDermott. So why pick him there? He is corner 1 talent level and would most likely be in that spot on a lot of other teams in this league. At some point this staff needs to get out of it's own way or they will waste the career of one of the best quarterbacks to ever step on a football field.

They don't, you get a 4th and 15 from your own 25. Technically, you can opt to try an onside kick but why would you? Offense on the field with one play is way better odds than converting an onside kick. I didn't see a single onside kick this XFL season and I watched a good 80% of the games. The 4th and 15 from your 25 is what the NFL needs to look at. Made for some exciting finishes in the XFL.

Outside of MLB, Where are the Bills Worse in 2023?
Luka replied to jwhit34's topic in The Stadium Wall
Might want to watch the season play out before you declare we are worse at middle linebacker. Removing the young, statuesque kid from the middle and putting someone who knows how to read a run play in there might actually benefit the defense. -
With the Bills looking at running a ton more 12 personnel I don't think his pass blocking is going to be as much of a concern as it's being made out to be.

Training Camp (scrimmage) - 8/4 5:00pm - The return of Blue and Red
Luka replied to The Wiz's topic in The Stadium Wall
With all of the talent on the defensive side of the ball, I'd love to see the play calling and substitutions actually fit the offense we're facing that week, instead of just lingering in zone and hoping for the best. We've relied on outright talent the past couple years and it's time to use it schematically. -
No respect for Jordan Phillips.

McDermott must've met Billy Napier. They are very similar guys with similar values. Lots of Gators. I'm liking it.

Beane is a man after my heart these past two years. Elam, Torrence and now Shorter?

The Battle of a lifetime: Klein, Spector, Dodson, Bernard, Williams
Luka replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's really just a competition between Klein, Spector and Dodson, which after last preseason I think Spector has a chance at winning. With McDermott calling the defense I wouldn't be surprised to see Williams or Bernard playing the "nickel" corner in run/pass situations. Hell, Williams has the size and speed to play safety. It's an interesting pick depending on how the coaching staff utilizes him. -
During one of the British attempts to exterminate the Irish people in the 1600s, many survivors were relocated to the island of Jamaica where they were slaves along side west Africans in the sugar can fields. He might be more Irish than yourself.

I love this staff for their recognition of Gators players. 🐊

Kincaid is an excellent pick in terms of talent. The real question is whether or not Dorsey can actually draw up a gameplan that utilizes Knox and Kincaid effectively.

Yea there are definitely alot of Skis in Buffalo

Shocked that the Falcons didn't take the hometown guy in Carter.
-
LOL Wow...

The thought of the Pats with Hooker makes me ill, he's probably the 2nd or 3rd best QB in the draft. If he hadn't gotten injured he probably would've went where Richardson did.
-
That's a Pete Caroll pick right there.
-
That's the big question. I'm bitter as a Gators fan, he made a lot of business decisions last season. Felt like at one point he was trying to do things that he could put on tape rather than just trying to win football games. He lost to Vanderbilt. Lost to Kentucky. He's going to need to dig deep in the NFL. Especially being in the same division as Stroud. I am going to guess Colts fans will be unhappy if he loses to the Texans twice a year.
-
He absolutely should be. I think he ends up being better than Richardson and Levis at minimum.
-
They have two 1st round picks next year. Will Anderson isn't coming out next year. Nothing is guaranteed.
-
Nah, they had a bunch of picks from the Watson trade. Totally worth it to get two of the best players in the draft.
