I’m sure the story is accurate. And I’m also sure having a bit of friction is not abnormal whatsoever.

Not surprising. Sign Ike.

The head coach is the head coach.

Yes vs. a guy who plays maybe a third of games. And especially at RB.

Not a chance

Assuming you can get a contract worked out that does not affect our ability to upgrade other spots, this is as big a no-brainer as you’ll ever get. The guy is one of the best ever. Of course you sign him for a year.

You have got to be kidding me.

The key question: did you have fun?

I claimed the era of great QBs would end with guys like Rogers and Brady because the QBs coming out could only play in spread offenses and wouldn’t adapt to the NFL.

1960 first home game when I was 4 years old.

Shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

I want my big tub of goo for the D line

Bring back Barkely. Or Fitz.

Hope he finally gets his shot

You don’t really understand his responsibilities unless your name is McDermott or Frazier.

You have got to be kidding.

Is he insane?

He is not a MLB in the way you want. You can continue saying the sky is purple but it doesn’t make it so. If they think they can find someone better they’ll move on. If not, they won’t.

Sometimes. Sometimes he doesn’t. And regardless of people trying to make him into a Butkus that simply is not the style defense the Bills play. And as I said earlier he still needs to work in reading plays.

Snyder should be in jail

The stuff about Edmunds is ridiculously silly at times. People keep saying he’s a bad MLB or that he should be moved to OLB. Read this carefully: We play two LBs. For someone to be a MLB, he has to be between two other LBs. Anyone ever take high school geometry? Milano and Edmunds play our two LB spots, they both have responsibilities in the run and pass game, and Edmonds in particular has a lot of pass protection responsibility in the middle of the field. If you want a MLB like Butkus or Lewis, then yell at McD to go to a 4-3 or 3-4. Edmunds has room to improve. His diagnosis of plays is still not what it should be. But you also have to ask what he is being asked to do in the defense, and how much the defensive plan affects his play. You keep him for another year, and hopefully Frazier and McD realize they have to be more aggressive. I’d like to see them encourage Edmunds to be more aggressive and play downhill more.

Oh I don’t think he ever gets another NFL job. That’s why it took a lot of guts.

Guy has guts, got to give him that. I just watched Ryan Clark and Damian Woody on ESPN and they have had it with what’s going on. At some point it would not surprise me if African-American players walk out.

Even if true, I have one word: Tough. The HC is your boss when you’re the OC.

Bingo. We have some guys like Edmunds who are asked to play passively. If McD does anything this offseason it should be to realize that when you say you need to more aggressive, it's on both sides of the ball.
