Buffalo716

Madden has toned down the ratings for years An 81 is absolutely in the top 12 of MLBs I would assume With an average starter overall of about 75 or 76

For sure. and you know I respect the crap out of you GB because of your love for the game from across the pond Like I said in one of my first posts the games not cut-and-dry. Tremaine is pretty good at snuffing out stretches and outside zones. Getting to use his athletic ability But he struggles on Powers and whams, where they're attacking right at him. He definitely need to get stronger at the point of attack Just like he's better in zone then he is in man following a running back But I am super glad we drafted him

By definition a stuff is behind or at the line of scrimmage So all 20 were for no gain or loss of yards By no means do I think he's an elite run stuffer, but where the game is in 2020 he's easily top 16 , I think the advanced stats would show that What I think you're seeing is his inconsistency. Because some plays he looks lost run-stuffing, and then other plays he's a heat-seeking missile Averaged out, he's probably an average run-stuffer who is getting better. When he has a bad game he's bad, When he's on he's on and you know I totally respect you GB just because of your passion for the game from across the pond

I don't think I said he was better in the run versus the pass. I said that people are undervaluing his run-stuffing Which his 20 run stops prove. Somebody who is below average wouldn't even have 10 stuffs. You just want him to be Bobby Wagner which he isn't He is good in the pass game and getting better, but right now it's mostly because of his physical gifts and not his play recognizing abilities. When that catches up to speed he will be an all pro Matt Milano is way better recognizing pass concepts right now

His Gap recognition may have been below average for the NFL in 1990. But not in 2020. The game is completely different and so are Mike linebackers.. I think he has good drops, but I definitely don't think he's close to being finished. being a defensive back for 20 years I see a lot of nuanced things in coverages , and Tremaine still has a lot of room for growth Tremaine feeds off a lot of Matt Milano in coverage. Who is undoubtedly better in man and zone Using a basketball analogy, Tremaine is the rim protector, while Milano Is the pesky wing defender Milano is doing tons of the dirty work in coverage funneling it to Tremaine in the middle who just has to stand ground and use his physical gifts When the mental game approaches his physical game, he will be the best in the NFL. it just takes time and repetition and seeing everything the game can throw at you

For sure it is But it's actually hard to qualify how consistent you are against the pass, when you're actually not challenged too much I think his awareness in zone is just slightly above average rn but his size and speed makes up for it also quarterbacks just don't want to throw over someone who is 6'6 so he's just not targeted If you watched all 32 starting Mike linebacker week in and week out, you would see tons are maddeningly inconsistent against the run. There are only five to eight who are absolute beasts against the run. The rest are inconsistent And I definitely wouldn't put Tremaine in the bottom 16. Linebackers have drastically changed over the last decade, and most aren't strong run stuffers Tremain's best asset is his size and speed

I mean go to the Hall of Fame website. You can search by enshrinees by team. So they obviously do If they didn't go under any team you wouldn't be able to search by team. It would just be a list of guys. Enshrinees are enshrined under every team they have played for. That's just how they do it Go to dolphins Hall of famers and Thurman Thomas is there. He didn't have a choice saying no I don't want to be grouped with them. He automatically was

That's actually how the NFL works Tom Brady will go into the Hall of Fame as a patriot and buccaneer Just like Thurman Thomas is technically a bill and dolphin

Nothing is cut and dry in the NFL When he makes the correct read he snuffs it out at an elite level. Some plays he picks the wrong Gap still. It's still a work in progress But his 20 run stuffs is undeniably a great stat He just doesn't get challenged much in coverage because quarterbacks don't like taking the risk of throwing it over him

If the browns could have had a quarterback, Joe Thomas absolutely would have been more valuable Alas like the browns, the bills didn't have a quarterback either so it don't matter

That's very true. we also wouldn't have had to play musical chairs with left tackle for 14 years But I agree you're right

And we should have given him every penny he wanted

Was it 336? It was well over a decade ago and I thought he was around 290-300 because that's where he played at It doesn't even matter anymore But he was given well over a year to acclimate. Not even starting at right tackle till about week five or six of his second Season. He is the epitome of a hard-working player where hard work pays off

I mean are you going to take tasker's word or Jason Peters himself? Regardless he was a good blocker in college, and just needed a little bit of time to work on stunts and such And add some strength and some weight By the time he achieved that he was ready to play the unknown was if he could get to that weight while keeping his athletic ability

Peter's is sandwiched between Jennings and Mike Williams because he was basically a blocking tight end on the play and they just call him T. Not even LT or RT, just T https://www.google.com/amp/s/syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2425017-jason-peters-tells-his-story-of-the-undrafted-road-to-nfl-success.amp.html If you read this he clearly says he never played offensive line until the offseason where he asked Mike mularkey how to get on the Field More And he transitioned to line He was not practicing there at all his rookie year

He actually was still playing a blocking tight end his rookie year He didn't play right tackle till his second season Those five games he appeared in at the end of his rookie year were as a special teams demon and blocking end

Some undrafted free agents make more than 7th round picks Once you reach a certain slot where you think you're talents outweigh the draft price, sometimes it's better to go undrafted and pick your spot Peter's got Great development because he got to choose to come to Buffalo, where we had the time to develop him Who knows he could have not answered the phone for a team in the 7th round

Because he was a 290 pound tight end that never played tackle before He had alot of technique to learn and how to read stunts and twists which isn't easy

That is the physical ramifications of the game Every player knows what they're signing up for I've had over a dozen concussions in my life playing football and it's certainly affected my health. People used to die on the gridiron it's a violent game

49rs were gold miners..

They're making millions of dollars playing a game.. No players have anything to complain about

Yeah using that word has a super negative connotation Soldiers kill people in war Buffalo Bill was not roaming the wild west slaughtering native Americans

I'm pretty sure Buffalo Bill made many of the natives rich for the time They were traveling all across Europe making money

A bill is an American dollar And we are the Buffalo Bills because we make it rain!

I actually called him a scout in my last post. He wasn't even technically in the army He was a civilian scout
