Damar Hamlin: Would be a “dream” to play for the Steelers
Buffalo716 replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is getting taken way out of hand and way out of context Demar Hamlin did not go out of his way to say I want to be signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers and I do not want to be a Buffalo Bill He was doing an interview in Pittsburgh where he said I wouldn't mind finishing my career in Pittsburgh That's it nothing more or less It's not a big deal -

Because it's the same thing that afflicted Ralph in the later years.. Ralph meddled because he fancied himself a football person Pegula fancies himself a hockey person.. it's his favorite sport and he thinks he understands it... He's like Jerry Jones He makes the decisions for the sabres.. He does not fancy himself knowledgeable enough to make football decisions... So when he bought the bills he tried really hard to put the best people in charge who actually know what they're doing From top down in all departments That's the difference between the sabres and the Bills . -

The Steelers have basically been good for 30 years because top down it's ran well Every single person who has knowledge of how NFL teams work all say the bills are one of the best run teams in the NFL set up to succeed for a long time Sure will probably never get Josh Allen again.. the Packers went from favre to Rogers to love The bills being a good organization could absolutely develop a solid quarterback It's everybody from the pro personnel department, to the scouts, to the assistance Everything -
Another big time start!

Update: Free Agent RB's Hitting the Market
Buffalo716 replied to ngbills's topic in The Stadium Wall
It's not a great strategy... But when we have a team that's as stacked as we are... I mean we're like 47 out of 52 deep.. maybe 50-52 I would be looking for that little thing to get me over the edge I fully understand your strategy and that is probably what 95% of the NFL should do And I do like ty Johnson again... But imagine if you got him an inch bigger and 15 lb more.. with fresh legs And he's capable of taking 6 yards a carry because James Cook and Josh Allen wear down the defense... That would make ty Johnson like Mike gillieslee... Who was going for six yards of carry as a third string back If Josh Allen had that kind of backfield we might be unstoppable I totally understand your points though good conversation -
Update: Free Agent RB's Hitting the Market
Buffalo716 replied to ngbills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Because I'd rather take a shot on somebody who could be karlos Williams for even one year If we got nine touchdowns out of a rookie running back we could be heading to the super bowl A dude who was taking 30 yarders to the house and running away from NFL players like it was nothing You're not getting that on a one-year free agent even if you're getting a good player Yes I know he completely disappeared as a player... But that's the nature and damage of a running back But this team today with rookie karlos Williams could be going to the bowl.. even for one year that is worth it That's the right fifth or sixth round pick away -

James cooked sucked as a pass protector his first year And vastly improved Year two Pass protecting is the hardest thing for a professional running back to get... That's why cook didn't get on the field a lot as a rookie But he learned how to pass protect.. and so can ty Johnson You're not asking a sixth round rookie to come in and be a three down back dude... You're also not asking a running back on a one-year deal to come in and be a three down back That young running back would have a year or two to learn the system and protections because we already have a pro bowl running back in James Cook... The guy who is top five in yardage They're literally only getting guys that will complement him... And you're never fresher than the day you leave college And you have a much higher chance getting a good running back than a good offensive tackle in round six... We could take a tackle and develop him rounds 1 2 3 4 5... The second we're getting around six and seven... Running back wide receiver and cornerback have the most depth There's a shortage of tackles anybody who they think has talent doesn't last till the 6th round unless he has major other issues... Or they need years of development I'd rather have a karlos Williams for 1 year as a complimentary back... Then develop a project tackle for 3.5 years -

Because guys like that are stopgaps The NFL has a shortage of lineman.. but you're still better off drafting a 22-year-old kid and developing him into your system with professional coaches Then trying to sign a guy that a team didn't resign in a league with a shortage of lineman... Sure, not getting a contract from your old team can give you a kick in the ass to improve But John feliciano is only improving so much... Darryl Williams is only improving so much Both gave us a year of really good football... Then reverted back to what they always were You're much better drafting O Cyrus Torrence and developing him over three or four years in your system in the Long haul... You're getting more potential and upside The same thing is true with running backs... That sixth round pick has alot of talent... He would probably be a top four round pick 20 years ago... A running back is also never faster than he is out the gate... You only lose speed with miles So you can get four cheap years out of a six round pick who's good... That you scouted to fit your system Compared to always trying to find a guy in the pro personnel department year after year and reloading it Getting a seasoned veteran will give you a slightly higher floor... But you're also going to be replacing him a lot if he's your change of pace back... You're going to be having one year contracts and different running backs all the time Compared to drafting a cat in the sixth round developing him in your scheme... And getting talent and continuity for 4 years I certainly don't want a running back in the first or second round ... But again somebody like ty Johnson who I like has one or two years You can draft that same talent in the fifth round and have him for four.. he just needs to get up to speed which might take half a season We Carry Three running backs... cook, Ty, 6th round rookie... Is a solid backfield for me It has a floor with potential... Any running back who really wants to have playing time is not signing here anyways because we have James Cook A running back going in the fifth round has a lot of talent actually.. way more than a quarterback or a Defensive end at the same point -

You could never find me saying once that we need to draft a running back in the first round or pay one lots of money Never not once And I do think ty Johnson is a very quality NFL change of pace back... The problem with him.. is that he runs too hard for his size Like Ryan Matthews the running back from Fresno State who went top 15 ... 15 years ago The dude had all the talent in the world.. but at 5'11 220.. he ran like he was 6'2 240 Very productive every time he played but couldn't stay healthy I played running back in college so I have a good knack for them and I really do enjoy the position... I actually like ty Johnson a good amount.. I liked it when we signed him and I liked how he fit into what we do But man.. he probably only has 2 years left the way he runs even as a backup... He's way too small to run as hard as he does Which is why he shook himself up trying to deliver a blow I certainly would resign him for one year.. but we need to find a red shirt Junior who came out with very few touches and he's 225 and has gas And you can only run him hard for three or four years... There's a lot of talent at the running back position in the NFL.. a lot of guys can get you a thousand yards if they got the touches Very few will give you 10 years like Adrian Peterson or gore ... Guys like ty Johnson and Pancheco on the chiefs... They are talented but I can tell they'll be ran into the ground after a contract -

At positions like running back and wide receiver there are plenty of people who could develop into serviceable NFL players in the 5th 6th 7th round and undrafted free agents It's a matter of numbers 30 years ago.. there were 28 draft eligible wide receivers in a draft Now in 2023.. there are 50 draftable wide receivers with grades And all 50 are not getting drafted.. that means you're getting an NFL draftable player at wide receiver undrafted Same goes for running back... The position is so devalued that talent gets pushed down the board And you wind up with NFL running backs in the 5th 6th 7th round and undrafted all the time -

Dion Dawkins doesn’t like the Jets DL very much
Buffalo716 replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
I certainly don't think he's the best in the league And it is time to start thinking about developing a replacement... He will be 30 this season But he probably does have 2 years left of good ball ... Alejandro Villanueva completed his army service for years before joining the Steelers And they molded him into a solid tackle It probably is time to start that development now... Because you need the guy with the right traits and then the time to develop him -

Buffalo716 replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
I am not opposed to drafting a player this year for development Draft a LT with some athletic ability with tools... Even if he isn't great with technique and is raw... Those guys fall in the draft Let him learn behind Dion and van Demark for a season or 2 and let them battle it out Even a guy like van Demark i can see being a short term NFL starter somewhere... He's a mountain with almost every tool o line coaches want He just wasn't coached up good at uconn and had poor technique But he really really improved throughout camp and pre season last season ... His arrow is certainly ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Since offensive line play is so bad around the league drafting and developing is huge... Spencer Brown started taking steps last year And if he takes another step... that's another huge boost to the line ... Sometimes it takes time for linemen -

There are about 90 left tackles in the NFL so being in the top 15 is still way above average There's a massive difference between being an NFL starter who's considered around average as a starter.. and your 35th man on the roster who is your average NFL football player Dion Dawkins is well above average compared to his peers across the entire NFL ... The 16th best LT in the world can be a 5-8 year starter... And Dion is better than that He isn't a turnstile... In a league that doesn't have good line play... Being a consistent top 12-13 LT is well above average And Josh Allen has gone left c Gap plenty of time on sneaks... he does not only go B gap -

Buffalo716 replied to Buffalo_Stampede's topic in The Stadium Wall
A top 10 player in any position is way better than average.. and 90% of right tackles cannot play left tackle so that makes Dion Dawkins already more valuable than them You think he's a fat hub of goo but he literally is an iron Man.. gets better as the year goes on.. and is Josh's most reliable lineman None of that speaks to average And the fact that Josh only goes left on quarterback sneaks is a testament to Dion Dawkins... You can't use two or three times it didn't work... For the 90 times it did Josh literally goes left B or C Gap because he wants to go behind the guy he trusts .. Dion Dawkins If Josh thought he could go right and pick it up he would because nobody expects it... He goes left when everybody knows he's going there because he trusts Dion Dawkins -

Literally was one of the best left tackles in the world last year.. and he always plays better as the season goes on... Plenty of players start hot and end cold... He always gets better He certainly is in the top 1/3 He isn't a bottom feeding left tackle -

I think it's only a matter of time until SU is perennially ranked again in basketball Red will bring the Orange back to prominence and the boosters have money... The sanctions killed the program for a while... We just weren't getting recruits of the caliber SU was used too
-
I think Judah is gone Chris Bell could be a second round pick type guy ... But SU has ALWAYS let players be themselves... Basically nobody transfers out and does better... Because SU coaches always have our guys in the best spots usually... Barring injuries I could see a guy like Peter Carey leaving ... But maliq I can't see.. him and copeland have great on court chemistry

O without a doubt... Seriously has to be pushing 6'10 wingspan Because that reverse layup as you said seemed impossible It literally seemed impossible
