    Super level and measured response here.

     

    Not sure if you're new to the board, but around here we have hall of famers or grocery baggers. Please make sure to be in a frenzy of irrational emotion or black out drunk before posting in the future. Thaaaaaaaaanks

    Well now someone tells me. I feel so stupid right now.

  2. If I could build an OT in a lab, he would look like Spencer Brown. The dude is absolutely elite in measurables and he's one of the top 20 athletes in the entire NFL (not hyperbole). He's is just raw.

     

    I'd bet Beane is nervous about Brown being another Wyatt Teller, as I am. But we do need to push his development by bringing in another starting caliber OT.

  3. I opened this thread expecting a Twice Zone episode...I was not disappointed.

     

    I kid. The idea seems fun, especially if we were talking about Henry and OBJ from 3 years ago. But I don't think they are currently these guys anymore. Plus I don't want to pay 10 M for a single running back. That's as much as I'm willing to pay for an entire backfield (3 backs).

    He hasn't. He has literally been one of the best in the league.

    I agree with you that he's been one of the best in the league lately (13 seconds aside). I'm not a McDermott hater. As I said, he had issues in the past with game management. He has improved,  from year to year, into one of the better game day coaches.

     

    What I'm saying, is that I'm concerned he will regress if he has to focus on defensive play-calling. I don't see how that concern would be be controversial. I'm not trying to give a hot take or be argumentative.

    I don't see how this is a surprise. I don't believe it is an indictment on Tremaine. He can simply get more on the open market than what we can prudentially alot for his position. Poyer is great, but he's old with significant wear and tear. Cheaper replacements and more resources devoted to oline and offensive weapons is the right strategy. I'm hoping they follow through, whilst anticipating a pretty good chance they go D in the first . . . again.

    I like what you said here. And I'm glad the Bills gave Poyer a little bonus this year as a classy way of saying thank you (and maybe avoiding an unnecessary distraction). He really gave us his all,  but this is the business side of things.

    I've been pretty big on keeping Edmunds - but I'd also be okay if we used that money elsewhere. They can probably get another effective LB for half the price; not as impactful as Edmunds, but we don't necessarily need that if we shore up other areas.

     

     

    I agree completely. I want to keep Tremaine, but would it be better to have him, or sign both Okereke and Nate Davis for the same price.

    What game management decisions do you make while playing defense?

    He already wastes TO on defense so maybe that might actually get better if he is calling the plays. 

    He still needs to manage the game when the offense is on the field, but if he's calling defense, he also needs to be managing in-game defensive scouting and adjustments.

     

    The d coordinator isn't just taking a break when the offense is on the field. I think I remember McDermott hired an assistant for game management. He'll need to lean on this assistant much more. Some head coaches can do this, but I'm nervous about McDermott's ability to be one of those guys.
