     Buffalo was far more of a big play scoring offense last year. Take week 5 against the Steelers & week 6 at KC as an example. They scored 8 tds between the 2 games and the shortest td of the 8 was Knox's 14 yard, game winning catch against the Chiefs.

     

     They had tds of 14, 15, 17, 24, 24, 34, 62 & 98 yards. All, but Cook's 24 yard rushing td against the Steelers, were Allen td passes.

    I’m fairly confident that those extra day 3 picks sitting on the bench aren’t the main reason why the Chiefs are better.

     

     Notice he didn't use the 2018 draft, Beane’s 1st draft in Buffalo. I mean why would he include all of Beane’s drafts years except his 1st one. Hint - probably because it doesn't fit his narrative. KC had a very poor draft that year while Buffalo had a very good one.

    This may go down as Beane's best draft to date -- A pretty tall order since he nabbed Josh and Edmunds together. But Edmunds is gone. Meanwhile the UDFA's look like 2 or 3 of them are sure to make the PS or better. Certainly, Shavers will stick somewhere. While the day 3 guys haven't shown much, it's still early -- At least for our 5th rounder. Meanwhile, the top 3 picks look like solid gold. To say that Kincaid and Torrence have shined is an understatement. They are everything we hoped for and then some. I know it's too early, but everything they have done to this point has been outstanding. Don't let me stop there either. I was disappointed when they drafted Dorian Williams. Not any more! He looks great too and was possibly the best defensive player on the field last Saturday. I wonder how long it will be before he forces the coaches to find a way to keep him on the field. Maybe add a little bulk and let him play besides Milano.

     

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on our rookie class.

     

     While I have high expectations for this class, especially Kincaid & Torrence, there's virtually no chance this goes down as Beane best draft.

     

     2018 will probably go down as Beane’s top draft of his career. First he drafts Allen(1st round- 7th overall) and Edmunds(1st round- 16th) in the 1st round. Allen has not only turned into a franchise player(At the most important position)that everyone was hoping for, but he's also turned into one of the top 2 or 3 QBs in the league. Edmunds we got 5 years of solid starting play at another really important position. Though he left for more money, we should receive a 3rd round comp pick. 

     

    Add to those 2 players:

     

     Harrison Phillips(3rd round-96th) 

     

     Tauron Johnson(4th round-121st)

     

     Siran Neal(5th round-154th)

     

     Wyatt Teller(5th round-166th) 

     

     Ray Ray McCloud(6th round-187th).

    Same here….but I wish we had another RB to take the preseason beatings. I’d prefer not to play cook, Harris and Murray after the 1st qtr.  Give Mims and Evans 3 quarters and let them battle for the PS spot. 
     

    I’ m pumped about sternberger too…. But I’d prefer we didn’t show him off.  Cut him and stash him in case one of our top 3 TEs get injured.  Morris is a player.  If he shocked if he was cut and I don’t see us keeping 4 TEs.

     

    I wanna see Kincaid get 1 catch then hit the bench

     

     

     

     I agree about Morris, he was pretty good last year in limited action and from the sounds of it is having a strong trading camp.

     

     I was going to say I wonder if they would think about giving Morris extended playing time in the preseason to see if they could garner up trade interest. I think he's good enough to be a #2 TE on some teams. Barring injury I don't think he's going to see the field here.

    The offense was better and more consistently good than it was Daboll's last year. Check the yardage and point totals.

     

     Yeah, and that was with a healthy Josh Allen in 2021. The offensive line was brutal that year until Ryan Bates started playing in the 2nd Pats game in December.

     

     How bad did the offense get in 2021? Look no further than Josh, 1st 7 games 17 TDs, 3 INTs & on a 5 game streak with at least a 100 QB Rating. The last 10 games 19 TDs, 12 INTs and only 3 games where he topped a 100 QB Rating. And that was against a very easy schedule in 2021.

    Yup,  but Elam for the most part should ignore them, if it’s not about letting them run plays so they get the timing down etc, outside of that he should do what he’s doing, he’s not there to let receivers catch the ball, 

     

     So at that point, where the holding has gotten so bad the OC & #1 WR are going directly up to the CB and complaining, what does McDermott do? On one hand HC McDermott should probably put a stop to it, but on the other hand DC McDermott is probably loving it.

    I wondered why it was Dorsey getting after Elam about it rather than Butler, his position coach.

    KD was likely making a point of accidental injury type of thing, but who knows, maybe he was encouraging him so his boys get better at countering holding in games, ya never know…. 

     

     

     I saw a tweet earlier saying both Ken Dorsey & Diggs went after Elam for being really "handsy" in today's practice.

    Where did you see/hear/read about the specifics WRT Miller's surgeries and White's?

     

      It's pieced together from a couple of interviews on the Pat Mcafee show(Dec. 8th & 15th) and a couple of press conferences. One was when he returned to Buffalo after the surgery(should be Dec. 14th, 15th time frame) and the other was in January, so I'm assuming the end of the year press conference(Not 100% on that one). 

     

     There was an article I had read with quotes from his January press conference that I tried to find real quick, but couldn't find. I'll post it if I find it later on.

     

     I'm attaching his appearance on the Pat Mcafee show from December 15th because it contains most of the vital information such as:

     

     Being able to reuse the ports(Meaning no drilling was necessary) and he even says that they didn't have to grind on his knee.

     

     He knew how the recovery went so he said to the doctor I know 8 weeks in a brace & on crutches and the doctor said nope(This part I got a little wrong) 2 days in a brace and 4 on crutches. Said he was up walking the following day.

     

     Von said he had surgery on Tuesday, by Saturday he was walking around comfortably with no brace or crutches.

     

    Returned to Buffalo a week after surgery and walked comfortably up and down the steps to the plane no problem along with walking around the airport and back in Buffalo at the facilities.

     

    Saving the 7 1/2 weeks not having to wear a brace or use crutches gives him a big head start on players having their first ACL surgery(Tre), or worst yet, their 2nd surgery and having to drill new ports. That and having the experience of already coming back from an ACL tear in that knee gave him a big advantage, Imo, over Tre's ACL surgery and rehab.

     

     Below is his Interview on the Pat Mcafee show. It starts at 1:38:30. If you just want to see the question and answer about his rehab that starts at 1:40:05.

    I’m saying you are missing the point entirely. Being cleared by the Docs is just the first step in coming back. It takes a long time to trust the knee, then it takes time to shake off the rust. It’s NOT a light switch, and much of it happens between your ears.  Everybody is different, so I’ll hope for the best. 

     

     True being cleared by the doctors is just the 1st step in returning and it does take time to trust the knee again. But at the same time it's his 2nd recovery from ACL surgery which will help with the mental aspect as he will know what to expect. 

     

     Also I think many people are under the impression Tre's ACL surgery and Von's ACL surgery this time around are equal, they're not. All bone work done during Von's 1st ACL surgery was still in good shape, so doctors didn't have to do any of that(ie drilling through bone). That allows for a quicker recovery time and rehab to be ramped up much quicker early on. He said there was a big difference between how his knee felt early on this time around vs the 1st one.

     

     He hardly wore a brace or used crutches after this surgery and didn't need either after the 2nd day. Also he said stairs were really tough the 1st time around, where as he could go up and down stairs, unassisted and with a normal gait, within a week after this surgery. 

     

     Some people think he'll be ready week 1, some have stated after the bye(Which would be on December 10th in week 14 vs KC). Barring any major setbacks, I think the team will be a bit cautious and we'll see him back in either week 5 or 6.

    Agree for now about Hurts but if he continues to improve (he made an immense jump from ‘21 to ‘22) he won’t just be in the same area code they’ll be neighbors. Yes I concede Philly has built an excellent team around him but so does Allen doesn’t he? At least that’s what people tell me. 

     

     

     I think we see 2020 Allen this year and if we do Josh will be in a different area code than he's been in the last 2 years.

     

     He's got better weapons and better OL than he's had the last 2 years. If Josh doesn't have to play 4 games with a separated left shoulder he would've had a real shot at MVP that year. In the  4 games he was injured he had 4 Passing TDs & 4 INTs, in the other 12 games he had 33/6.

    I’d can agree with Joey B since he did win the head to head but with all due respect Hurts isn’t in Josh Allen’s area code .
    He’s a good QB but he’s more like the 6 or 7 best QB then the number 2 QB. 

     

     As @julianjust mentioned, the top #4 QBs are landing in the order they finished the playoffs. Allen, Burrow, Hurts and lastly Mahomes. Allen exited the playoffs first then Burrow, then Hurts and of course Mahomes was/is the champ.

    Still a little low for my tastes but definitely reasonable.

     

     I agree.

     

     But......at the same time he keeps coming out on fire in his first 6-7 games and then has a late October-November slump. 3 years in a row now. 2020 & 2022 were at least in large part due to injuries, but 2021 was a combo of his poor play, Beasley's sudden decline & very poor play by the offensive line(Which didn't improve until Bates became the starter in the 2nd Pats game in December)

    I searched and couldnt find the top 10 list (perhaps because it aired today?). 

    Diggs at #16 sounds fair

    A-a-ron Donald at #11 is low

     

     Here's the top 6.
