Cooper unlocking Keon (if he’s ready to step up to WR2 with the opponents defense preoccupied with Cooper) is probably the second most exciting part of this trade.
And would be the most impactful in terms of us getting to where we want to go.
Keon making single coverage plays down the field like he did at FSU would completely change the ceiling of this offense.
I think this can happen quickly as Cooper gets acclimated. I expect him to start as the lone WR in sets with 3 skills players to one side, and he wont have to time his routes off others (rubs and crosses are such a big part of Brady's offense). This type of formation has drawn middle of the field closed coverage and gets an opportunity outside the numbers (Bills WR havent really shown an ability to take advantage). I hope he can take advantage of these looks against the titans. But then as he quickly works in the offense you put him on the Trips side and then give Coleman the lone receiver role and let him get buckets, which he has shown a couple times the last two games).

Agree simple routes. But to me thats lone receiver routes as described above. Ask the defense if you wanna give help coverage on him and if not let him get the ball. Simple play. But if you start to help there then we just run all over you. The "complex" routes in this offense seem to be the rubs and crosses with other receivers. He knows the routes but how to run them with the other WR could be hard so just give him all the space to eat.

He sounded just as excited as we all were last year when they beat Miami in Miami and won the division, Sal talked to him as he was headed into the locker room and he was not reserved at all, Could have been one of us for those few minutes.
After which he did 3 "Our Process" and 4 "hail complimentary football" for his sins of showing excitement.

Joe Marino mentioned in his snap count segment that Dion AND Brown were off the field on the kneel downs (iOL starters were in). Hope he doesn’t get the PFs but I love these two tackles. They set a tone!

Kyle Williams? Not as much of a premium position but he def played better (all pro and many pro bowls) for longer

So happy that they are looking to make a move. But its gotta be done carefully or else we just spin our wheels and get cap hit. The how do you onboard this person is interesting to me. I wonder if we would consider putting him on PS then do call ups as a real life tryout. Could even let bass come back after a few games to give him a final shot (having Bass work out is still the most favorable option that you need to give it every opportunity).

This is a reset year and we seem ahead of schedule. Is it perfect no, but there is something to the everything eats model (though concerns obviously when we NEED to pass). I expect them to continue to improve and go on one of the patented december runs (crazy our only two DEC losses since 2020 are the hurricane bowl and the almost comeback against TB the next game). At that point we will be having Milano back and I expect Josh to have mastered the offense that he seems to still be sorting through as a drop back passer.
On the hail mary, coaching def got players in position. There were 4 guys around Lazard. And why no WR out there because there was 8 seconds left to start the play. Jets turned it into a hail mary on the fly. I think theres some merit to if youre rushing only 2 then why not more coverage players (Epenesa playing the flat aint doing anything for me), but that play is 100% on the players.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but I would rather listen to Collinsworth, than those 2 Bozos. Aikman clearly does not like the Bills, and I agree with the comment above, that he seems jealous.
Agree and the sunday night production is better. The decision to focus on Gipson when it was 3rd down in the 4th quarter and he wasnt on the field was weird. "now lets talk about how Rodgers wants to use this one guy more who is not even on the field." Just want to force a narrative. It wasnt something to be talked about on this day sorry. Agree aikman was talking about how amazing rodgers was and everything josh did was cause of someone/thing else.

thr issue was….was he attempting to throw. If he was about to recoil and bring it in then tuck rule applies snd it is a fumble.his arm was going forward when it was hit. If he lost the ball thrn it was an incomplete pass. He lost the ball right at the boundary of being a throw vs a drop vs a pull in/ tuck
it should never be intentional grounding if you throw and you are hit at the same time just like if arm is hit while throwing.I also have issue on intentional grounding on timing plays of cut in/ cut out mis communication with
Players routinely get intentional grounding while being hit and throwing. I think youre trying to say that if youre arm gets hit then you should get some grace cause obviously that complicates getting it to an intended receiver (I agree). Where I think this should have been intentional grounding, if not a fumble, is his arm was not hit until the very end. If thats truly his release point, which they are saying cause its a pass, then he wasnt throwing to a player. there is probably language in the rule about contact affecting the throw but Josh has def gotten the short end of that stick many a time. Also would expect contact affecting the play to sorta launch the ball up if he was gonna throw. Sorta weird for getting hit back on the top of your body to cause you to spike it (legs sure but chest would push you back and up) so again either fumble cause wasnt throwing or int grounding cause he was trying to throw it to noone to save a sack.

How come no other QB in the league has “arm punt” interceptions then?
Unless it’s a 50+ yard throw down the field, then the punt is better. You have guys out there prepared and equipped to make a tackle. I get taking a shot on 3rd and 18, but an interception is still an interception
Aikman literally called Rodgers int last night essentially a punt. so it def is talked about. agree punt is more net yards but its def not a new thing. If we were to try and prove how important Allens picks/TOs are then I think we should look at their EPA? If hes truly making arm punts then his EPA shouldnt be so bad. I suspect itll be pretty mid cause he had a bit of a rash of RZ TOs (after going clean for so long) and TOs near our EZ, but he does have a few tolerable ones that werent really in Bass's FG range (so no points off the board) and didnt give the ball to the opponent that close to the EZ. Would be an interesting stat.
This link sorta has some info on the topic. Josh has -300 EPA, Pat -237, Burrow -230, Carr -277. Only Pat has better EPA (-4.3 versus -4.0) per turnover (burrow is super costly when he errs, though he doesnt do it as much). So yes TOs correlate with winning and Josh has cost us a lot of points cause of them over the past 4 years. Also yes Josh's TOs are not as bad as most players (would want more data).

I think he was saying in reference to the rest of their season. Which he was right, they looked much better last night
he did add that context as he expanded upon the thought, but the first half bills were not gonna be denied on offense. NYJ did have more explosive plays on offense than most of the year. but converting a hail mary and still being down didnt scream huge offensive output to me. You can see it the receptions too. Jets have 4 pass catchers all game. Bills offense was having everyone eat against a good defense (7 pass catchers, i think all but coleman caught one in first half).
-
my favorite was aikman coming out of half saying both offenses playing great, and i was like yeah i guess jets are ok but 3 TDs in 4 drives is better than 2 TD in 5 drives with one being a hail mary. but then aikman doubles down and says "especially the Jets." thought that was indicative of how he handled commentary (including the QBs).

Using that reasoning he had more TDs but receivers failed to catch them.
Interceptions by definition are balls caught.
Also its reasonable to then not ding him for his "high" int numbers previous years. he has historically had a high conversion of int worthy plays to int (and also just wacky plays). This year its obviously low but last year they were catching almost everything that turnover worthy (whereas other QBs got a way with a lot)

I think I would rather trade a 2nd rd pick for Courtland Sutton.
The pick is pretty high but im surprised he isnt discussed more. I would be very happy to trade a 4th for him. His cap number this year is fine and 13 mil next year isnt unreasonable either. And he signed his extension under the previous coaching staff.

I don’t think you can leave Hamlin in the middle of the field alone. Hes too slow and too slow to react. Rasuul is awesome but does not have the foot speed either.
Couple reasons why i expect it to work. First he handled the dolphins receivers fine enough that I think we can he be deep middle. I really only fear him against one of their WR which brings me to. Second the ravens are not driving the ball down field so I don’t expect him to be tested. If they choose to try and push the ball I expect it to go poorly considering their OL issues (this is why they are not pushing the ball deep) going against the best DL they have seen.

Y’all need to watch the clip above about .. Gap integrity.
If I were to hazard a guess, I’d say Ed has been maintaining his gaps, closing running/passing lanes and not being asked to get after the QB and make all the stat inducing plays. Those game plans and results may come.
Game 1 it was contain rush against Murray. Not sure how anyone can say he wasn’t a force in that Miami game. He set up the cook team by getting a TFL and sack on 3rd /4th down. Cook scampers to really put them in a hole next play. Last game the tackles were the weakness of the OL so they attacked outside.
this game though has got me juicing for ed. Interior of that ravens line has some issues (though I like linderbaum but he’s got an injury) and penetration has been how McD has lowed Henry down in the past. I expect ed to have a great game.
also expect us to drop a safety down and play more cover 3 this week. Let benford Douglas and a safety take care of the deep and create havoc in the middle and underneath by disguising where the zones are.
Offensively it’s an interesting matchup cause their iOL is so good. Think we’ll need to stretch them wide if we want to run the ball. But realistically we probably play 11 more than we have to date and attack the middle of their coverage.

I totally don't remember that game. I thought our last game was the failed qb sneak game.
Lol the last game was very top of mind going into the Jags game cause it the whole situation was eerily similar (losing 2 straight away from home in frustrating fashion before an early season MNF game).

Their 12 or 13 personnel might do some damage in the run game against our base nickel.
If we had Bernard at Mike and Spector at SAM I could see it. But that's a big ask for Morrow or Buffalo Joe.
Alternatively, they could move Rapp to play SAM and use Edwards or Ingram at FS.
Agree Spector at SAM with Bernard at Mike is the best way for us to run 3 LB. I agree big ask for those two. I would just stick with Lewis who is playing well and probably will continue to work so he can actually get a contract after this year (all the backups doing money signs after making any plays makes me chuckle)

Because he wanted to reunite with kromer who was his coach in LA
His RAS was also a bit low so I think teams didnt want to pay top money to someone playing above their testing. And as you said he decided to stay with Kromer who was helping him overperform. Crazy we have him for 3 mil cap hit next year.
-
This team has so much trust from me on player development right now that I dont even care. I just assume hell get it sorted if it didnt look good. Just insane how they have been able to grow so many players that when we need them its hardly a drop off.

Undersized second string linebackers facing a stiff test on a Sunday night roadie … anticipating our toughest test thus far. Cautiously optimistic.
RAS says both our backups are bigger than the starters. So as far as size only we should be ok. However, I do worry about their processing. Thankfully the thing they do best (though Dorian has continue to take a step in coverage) is come down hill against the run.
9 hours ago, appoo said:I do think this is the week where the Bills injuries catch up to them. You're asking Baylon Spector, Dorian Williams and Cam Lewis with the slowest set of safeties in the NFL to contain Lamar Jackson, Mark Andrews, Isiah Likely and Derrick Henry? Nah man that ain't it. Not even McDermott witchcraft is going to have consistent success here.
For the Bills to win this way, I think they need to goto a grind offense to protect their defense, and then defensively just be opportunistic, and hold them to FGs in the Red Zone. If they Bills want to have a truly good game defensively then Ed Oliver, AJE, DJ, Austin Johnson, and Groot are going to have to have elite games on 1st and 2nd down, so they can unleash Von on 3rd and long.
Offensively Spencer Brown is gonna have his biggest challenge yet with Odafe Oweh who looks like he's taken the leap. This is a DE with legit 4.3 40 speed who's currently got an 84.8 grade on PFF. If Brown can handle him on his own that's gonna be huge - but good chance he's gonna need help
Derrick Henry I feel fine against. We have answered that question before and it feels like penetration from the DL is critical (as you mention) to slow him down so the rest of the team can get him down.
As for the slowest set of safeties they managed to limit the leagues fastest set of skill players in miami just fine. I will acknowledge this is a slightly different problem because baltimore will happily stay with the run but it wont be "speed" that gets us. I worry more about processing from the second level when its play action. That said we sorta played a very similar offense (but with better outside weapons) week 1. Conners and that run game is very efficient and Kyler is probably the closest to Lamar's skill set. I think they are too good to be stopped but I think we have played a very similar offense.
5 minutes ago, Motorin' said:Who's the 3rd LB, Morrow or Andreessen? And who would play SAM?
If you scrap nickel, it has to be morrow right? Still need to cover either or andrews or likely in the middle. I think we stay with Lewis.

My favorite play of the night:
Allen on 2nd and 10 from the Jags 12 or so sliding well short of the 1st down and protecting himself in what was at that point a garbage time drive. Our boy has come so far in his journey to understand that while a 6th straight touchdown drive would be cool; keeping yourself safe for the next game is far more important at that point.
I told my wife that Jax didnt earn the right to be hurdled on that play.
1 hour ago, SoonerBillsFan said:This is why PFF is ******* stupid. Allen put up a nearly perfect performance, but only graded out at 83.1 and our 4th highest grade?
Don't look at the PFF grades for the opener where they had Kyler (75.6) with a higher grade than Josh (75.1).

Brown has been great taking a bigger leap than ed oliver did when he got his contract last year. But I want to focus on Dawkins. Dude is playing just as awesome and is doing it very uniquely. He wasnt crowding the line like other weeks (asking the ref if he was too far forward on a passing play) but he still had the huge splits. He trusts his atheletcism and his technique. He obviously wouldnt be lining up that way without Kromer and Brady's blessing. cool that hes been going at it different than anyone else I can remember.

Dawkins, Johnson fined after Jets game

You see it on the edge and that’s where it was made for. CBs were just going super low on big OL and hurting them in the process.
I thought Taron got low but since first contact by TE was with helmet on tarons back then it should’ve been a no call. Taron has nowhere to maneuver and didn’t chop the blockers knees. Just got under him.
