In his defense, Roman is said to have the most complicated running playbook in the NFL and he seemed to grasp the offense. Unless it was dumbed down for him but I dont ever remember reading that. Maybe he is just one of those people that are really smart at some things and not so smart at other things. I know there are things I am absolutely dumb at that I dont even try to understand anymore but I am pretty smart at a few things.

Diggs was 3-4 years younger than Hopkins is now when we gave up a first for him.

As much as I want Hopkins here, you dont give up a first round pick for a player that old. Arizona didnt even give up a first for him. You cant let emotion let you overpay like that. If KC gets him then they get him.

Thats not quite what I mean. Im not saying dont improve it if you can. Im saying they spent the last few years trying to improve it and they have a lot of money and high draft picks already tied up in it. At some point you cant ignore the offense in favor of one position group. IOW's... dont not sign Hopkins just because you want to try and find even more dlinemen. These guys should be good enough. KC made it work with basically Clark. Yep on the draft. I think Von will be fine. Even a slightly lost step he is still elite. The guy works his ass off. I dont see Von being a JAG out there.

Who in FA are the Bills getting to improve the OL? The Bills have already done what they are going to do on the oline, barring the draft. The oline will be ok when Josh has star receivers on both sides of it, a better slot most likely and hopefully better plans from Dorsey other than just sending guys deep downfield all day. As for Dline, Von will be back. Wasting more resources on Dline isnt the answer. They have done that multiple years now.

This is the type of move that can get the Bills over the hump. There would be no more excuses for the offensive side of the football. If they still cant get it done then either Josh isnt good enough or this coaching staff isnt good enough. They have the roster. You should like this move IMO.

Probably because if the Bills dont trade him its going to end up like Edwards... Either pay more than he is really worth and find the money to do it or let him walk for pretty much nothing.

The Jets are only 2 games in a 17 game schedule. Even if we lost them both, which I dont think we would, it probably wont matter. Jets would be good with Rodgers but Im still not scared.

GB is the one that keeps signing the guy to new top end deals. If they are in bad shape its their own fault.

Yeah, I wasnt meaning to get on you personally on that. I know you are just posting the info for people. That was more meant as a general post. I understand picks are important but too many people are obsessed with comp picks IMO. Id rather sign guys that win us a champ instead of passing on them because oh knows we might lose a comp pick!

I guess I am alone with this but if the Bills sign guys that ultimately help us win a SB then IDGAF about a comp pick.

We won the off season! Division Champs! Wildcard Weekend Warriors! You can pick one.

That may or may not be true but you could tell that only a handful of players looked like they wanted to be there and showed up to play. The rest of them were checked out and wanting to go home. It was pretty obvious looking at them that they were just going through the motions. Personally I do not care or like the excuses of "oh we were mentally drained from all the woes that happened during the season." Most of those excuse marks are normal. Two of them arent. Hamlin is not normal but he came out fine. It should have invigorated them him being in the stadium. The shooting. Of course people care and are affected by it but they didnt know any of those people. Generally when you dont know someone that dies you move past it pretty quick. Injuries... those happen to every team. Snow game... big deal. They played in Detroit for a game. No excuse to show up to that game disinterested when you were the super bowl favorites.

Nah

Why are people talking about DTs in a thread about Hopkins. Do better.

That’s good value

I agree. We need more from the outside than we got from Davis to take more heat off Diggs. I think more importantly we need better o line play and better reads/plans from Dorsey and Allen. I hope Beane can nail a stud from the draft. I don’t know anything about college players though.

Ultimately I think Harris is a good back and a good signing provided it’s a cheaper contract. I just don’t really expect much more out of him than we got from Singletary.

agree. Good deal. I think this guy will be better than McK. If so that’s great value and helps Josh.

Can’t stand him but he continually makes the nfl more and more money. That’s basically his job.

yes read my last reply. It just looks like other backups are good because our D was terrible at getting pressure.

I think the Bills can use their resources better than this guy. He isn’t terrible but we need to do better around Allen than some cheap role players. This guy might not even be cheap but I view him as another role player caliber.

it’s pretty much all backup linemen aren’t that good. It’s tough enough getting good starters. It probably looks like other backup linemen are good because our D can’t get pressure on even backups despite all the resources spent on our d line.

Good for McK. Decent role player but we need better. Hopefully the new guy is that.
