Calvin Austin III - WR out of Memphis has said buffalo has had multiple talks with him

thats only if people will actually allow themselves to enjoy it.

no one said this place isnt competitive.

you have to think that either there is a drafting deficiency or a coaching deficiency. something seems off. we are stuck with this safe zone defense that doesnt give up big plays but doesnt make big plays either. other than int's. great against lesser teams, not so great about elite teams. Stats look good on paper because its a steady defense over the course of a year. I read an article a while back where the author though buffalo should give up the safe D for one that may give up the occasional big play but an in turn make big plays when needed.

seems like they think they can develop a jag into a player thats "good enough" Part of that may be they feel they have more important holes to address other places. and they could all turn out to be great players. My point was, in 4 years we havent had one player that came in first year and even played better than expected on the D line. Obviously not every d line player is going to come in and dominate the first year. But you see players every season that just explode first year. I would think in four years we could find one to at least exceed expectations in the first year.

Tears of joy

while that sounds exactly like what the Bills do, along with like you said...taking Boom or bust players. It does seem counter productive. Seems like you want players that can impact those 4 years and then you trade for draft picks and start over. isnt this more like what NE. has always done?. Also it seems like it would work better if your D line is already dominate and you dont need those players to produce anytime soon. thanks for the post ..very well thought out and accurate.

buried or just not utilized 100% effectively. I dont know but i think its possible.

I pretty much agree with this. I think u keep both...Epensa is still on a rookie deal and Phillips finally stepped up nicely. I do question talent evaluation for sure.

I dont want either gone...but It would be nice not to have to wait 3-4 years for your 1st round picks to develop. Unless of course our D-line was already loaded.

I know with RB's...see singletary this year. They all seem to say that they need snaps to produce. you need those snaps to read what the D is doing..to get a feel for the game. Do u think the rotation is hurting the D linemen in the same fashion?.

I've been thinking about this for a while and dont remember much in the way of a direct post bringing this up. I'll follow that statement up with saying i have a short memory at times as well. The Bills it seems have always been great at developing CB's. when McDermott took over we changed from man to mostly zone. Brought in Trey with a high draft pick and knocked it out of the park. then have been able to develop jags to step in and play very well. We jump to the D line and both in drafting and developing it seems to me we dont have the same ability. In four years not one home run draft pick. Ed has been playing well along with Harrison but both took a long time to develop. Groot might be the top pick to hit the ground running and I still wouldnt call him a home run hit. Then we have the guys like star that were brought in to plug holes but seemed to me their contracts were pretty high for the talent and play level they provided. So, whats your guys consensus on this?.... Is this a real problem? If so how do we fix it/Improve?

just looking for that final combative edge... draw no lines

its all about the Decoy so was ingram...someone needs to take carolina off speed dial

feelings?... probably the same feeling that said we were going to kill the jags and KC was going to beat the bengals by three scores. 😛

In the year 2525, if man is still alive If woman can survive, they may find 2922 is still 400 years into the future...

Well he's going to look pretty good when you can't defend one pass out of 44. Bill's defense needs to control him rather than let him do whatever he wants. Bengals shut down the edges pretty good. When they went after mahomes they actually kept an eye on him and maintained their Gap integrity so he couldn't run free.

I'm sure glad we got past running every first down

Damn burrow, that was impressive

Very interested to see what Cincinnati does on defense

Present and accounted for. I kind of like to see the Bengals win just for something different. Of course if the Chiefs win maybe they'll become more complacent

we definitely need one difference maker that can step in and change the course of a game. high upside is nice but id really rather not wait 2-3 years to find out if a guy is going to pan out. we dont have that time to waste right now.

they do say the best offense is a good defense. One guy in the KC steps up and makes a play on D on any of the last Kc drives and the outcome is totally different.
