On Friday, Boehringer held another workout and this time the Buffalo Bills were in attendance. Buffalo, as well as every other team present, interviewed Boehringer prior to the workout according to Tony Pauline of DraftInsider.net. At the workout,Boehringer ran routes at the request of teams and performed very well.
Very interesting prospect to me. The video is tough to figure out because the German teams are TERRIBLE. If hes there in the 5th I think he would be a great pick but I'm worried he wont be there.
-
This is my worry. and the worry grows each day.
if these fellows would bargain a deal Bills would have two more decent Fa signings at least by now.
I'm not too worried because as bandit said up thread or in another thread, they've gotten every major FA re-signed that they've wanted in the past couple years. We were all sweating bullets about the Hughes and Cog contracts. But here we are today with both of them on deals that look good.
-
Easily. Bandit estimated about $5M getting freed up with those two deals and his work looked spot on to me. The Bills still have a little room, but I'd be happier if they got those deals done - or even one of them.
I would rest easier too if the deals were done, but there really is no rush. If they want 1 maybe 2 more dust settling FA's they should be able to accommodate. 53 + PS goes into affect after TC right? Still trying to get on your level.
-
Only about $2M in space needed for draft picks due to offsets and rule of 51. Still, additional space will be needed for full 53 and PS players once final rosters are set - plus in season moves due to injuries.
I think you (or bandit) said the cap space for the 53 + PS + in season would be made available by deals for Glenn and Gilmore right?
-
what was Moores contract ?
If we have agreed that 5 mill was needed to sign the rooks and we added two comp picks, Bill might be getting close to the wire Bandit?
I think bandit said we needed like 3 mil to sign our rookies. Remember the rule of 51

The difference between Mulligan and Dray
Dray is actually a better blocker
Dray can actually catch a pass every now and then and it isnt a earth shattering development
So less Kujo as an extra lineman???
-
On a side note, I adore Jim Dray. Browns trusted him to reach block Orakpo and Morgan in that game. One missed assignment on a wham block but overall, he's just mean.
Good to know. I don't think I can handle another Mulligan level blocking TE.
-
I love the way the Bills have been working FA and the draft in recent years.
I'm really excited to see who they get again this year. Lot's of defensive talent so I know we'll have an exciting player to root for from this draft.
I am also pleased with how they have worked FA. In particular the guys we are brining in are young. If one pans out he can get an extension. Hoping we get one 2017 starter from the defensive signings.

FWIW I hope I'm wrong. I think Rex is a good guy and would like to see him succeed. I just don't think he is a capable coach. I also like Whaley. I see the "data on the other side" as similar to pixie dust and rainbow farting unicorns Blaming the offense for defensive failures means all means to try to look at the defense and figure out what can make it work have been exhausted without any rays of light. The Pollyanna guy says everyone fits in Rex's D and all is well and I hope he is right but it is almost like saying I just know the lottery numbers are 30 40 61 28 9 and 3. Maybe.
I've heard you say you hope your wrong. Were all Bills fans so we should also be a little cynical. However, were also all sports fans so we have to be a little hopeful too. I'm skeptical this team can do much of anything. However, if the 2015-2016 Syracuse taught me anything its that exceeding expectations is sooooooo much fun. I will try to temper the inner fan in me, but he does like to have a little fun.
-
i disagree with grasping at straws to avoid obvious conclusions. We made a massive mistake in hiring Rex and we are now in the early stages of dismantling a talented defensive roster because of it. Fans are sick of rebuilding projects and this is only worse because we aren't even to the inevitable re-build yet. Whaley will probably go out with the bath water and we'll be an expansion team.
Can an offense make a defense work hard? Yes. Can it cause distorted stats? Sure. Is it likely to do that for over half a decade? No. Do I have eyes and did I watch that disaster last year? Yes.
I'm sure there have been some accidents involving drunk drivers where the other driver was 100% at fault, but that is not the norm and if there was a drunk who was in six accidents the odds are very high that the drunk is at fault.
To me the obvious conclusion of limiting total yards but allowing points says that they are working against a short field. Thus the offense was terrible. I don't know how else you get such a difference in rank for the two statistics.
I have read your point of view many times, and you could be right (there is a lot that you say that isn't wrong). However, I think don't think you're always leaning on your strong points, but try to make bold conclusions without having a full explanation of the data. To me, we just won't know until training camp at the earliest. I get it; you think last year was the crash and this is the burn. Others think year 2 in the systems will allow us to compete for the afc east (I'm skeptical). There is a lot of data for both sides, and you're gonna have to be patient. Focus on something else; it'll help my sanity if not yours.
Are we still pretending that Rex didn't have turnover machine Sancho his first two years? It's not like that affected his points allowed too much.
Someone also crunch the numbers on a below average pass D for the last 3 years. That's yards allowed. Good thing we don't have to beat a good QB who passes a lot to make the postseason.
I dont know what were pretending now, but without beating the Brady its going to be tough to make the playoffs let alone compete for the division.
-
6 years and running of not being in the top 18 = antiquated. the league moves fast. Points count toward wins and losses. Yards allowed do not.
Look, I want these guys to win more than anyone, it just strongly appears that they simply cannot. Stock market dudes always say past performance is not indicative of future results. That right there is about all for which we can hope.
Do you disagree that the offense can have a large impact on the points allowed?
-
6 years and counting........
Of sub par offense....? I agree last year was disappointing, but you keep saying antiquated. I am not sure how you say that or why you dismiss the rankings of total yards allowed?
-
They must have gone 3 and out a lot.
I get the joke and disagree with Big Cat for the most part. However, I think turnovers on a short field probably led to easy TDs/FGs. Thus the points was high. Should be easy enough for someone to show the turnovers by their offense.
-
Is the points ranking furthest to the left because it is the most important? Is that the one where Rex hasn't sniffed the top half of the league in over half a decade? When oh when will we sniff the top half of the league again? When we have replaced 5 of our 11 starters from our #4 2014 defense? 8? All 11? Rex is going to be himself you know. He said so when he publicly called out Thurman Thomas in a very productive use of his time.
Doesn't the chart show things trending in the wrong direction?
Points ranking is likely affected by the atrocious offense the Jets had. Now you could say that was because of how they drafted, but it is more likely related to the offense than the defense.
-
Im rooting for a hidden gem as well. This signing has me thinking Edge Rusher in the first, LB in the second. Certainly a good pick up.
-
24 hours since pro day, German WR Moritz Boehringer has visits set up with 7 NFL teams. http://on.nfl.com/1ZOpwG8
How late does this guy project to go? He seems big and fast. I know his competition was terrible (I saw the video up thread) so its harder to predict his NFL ceiling, but he should be able to take the lid off the defense right away. I'm also guessing he can block well.
-
I know the fools was played on us, but to continue a previous line of thought...
If he competed in Brazil and then was available mid season for us. Is that really a problem? We would get an athlete that has world class ability, character, and knows our playbook.
My point is that if pursuing the Olympics, earns Goodwin's loyalty; then who cares as long he doesn't sign with anyone else (I know that can't be guaranteed).
-
I don't think Floyd is the guy they portray him as. He's a bit light for his frame, has trouble getting off of blocks, and relies on his athleticism because he lacks the strength others possess. That may have worked in college, but it won't in the NFL. 2nd? Maybe. #19? No. Just my 2.
Yeah that's what I got too. I watched tape from the Auburn game and he had 2 sacks (1 was clean up of someone else). He didn't get too much pressure (usually just ran past the QB). In run support he had a couple of nice back side stops, but also lost the edge a couple of times. Throw on top of that the swing he took at someone and the PF that did get called in the 4th quarter for a drive continuing 1st down. I hesitate.

Isn't from 28 to 32 basically a wash? If so:
Thumbtacks - 24:29 - Win
J-E-S-T-S - 33.16 - Win
NE2** - 32:55 - Loss
Filly - 35:02 - Loss
J-E-S-T-S 2 - 20:47 - Win
That leaves us 2-0 in games with low TOP and 1-2 in games where we held the ball longer. Doesn't this refute the point you're making as it relates to the 2015 season for the Bills?
You are reading this backwards (I did too initially). That is the Opponents TOP. So we are 2-0 with opponents low TOP and 1-2 with opponents high TOP.
-
So hold on, I thought a 3-4 had a NT and 2 DE's on the line. Are you saying that it's a NT and 2 DT's?
I'm honestly confused.
I was a little confused on this too. But some/most of the schemes I've seen on this site have a NT at 0 or 1 tech, a DT at 3 tech, and a DE at 5 tech (Strong side). It is definitely not the symmetrical NT flanked by two DEs.
-
Anyone bored enough to figure out how many times we would've been called for the new penalty in 2015? PFF (They like to watch every play right)?
-
Apparently many teams had Anderson timed in the mid 4.3's in the 40...he also did CB drills and reportedly looked really, really good.
Teams seem to be looking at him as the next Richard Sherman--a college WR with size and outstanding ball skills that can transition to the defensive side of the ball.
The scary thing is that Anderson has better ball skills and timed speed than Sherman had as a WR.
So....Neon Deon.....?
-
Yeah, I was too lazy to crunch the Brady era records.
Fair enough. You can buy me a birthday shot to make up for it. PM me for my local pub that I will be doing car bombs at tomorrow.

Knock yourself out: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nwe/head-to-head.htm
You linked me to team head to head and it looks like you're right. Since forever, we are not the worse than rest of the league (I assume this is true cause why else would you link it).
But I guess I assumed there was some cutoff here. I used Brady's career as the cutoff. These are his splits from the same website.
And I was right for my pre defined period (I know it looks bad but I promise this was my criteria in my original post). His winning % against not the AFC east is 75.6% which is worse than 77.9% against the AFC East. Worse (from our perspective), his 89.2% winning percentage is way worse than the rest of the league.
Sorry I didn't specify the time period we were talking about, but for the past 15 years, the patriots have been MEASURABLY better against the bills then the rest of the league.

Agreed. Bandit had me sold after that Navy game he posted. I watched another against Temple and he was also very explosive in that game. Would be a solid steal later in the draft.
