Use him like Deebo and Boldin and he will be very good. Both great after the catch. Get creative to get him the ball and use him more in the slot.

Morrow has been a career 3rd or 4th baker his entire career. Thompson has been pro bowl approaching All pro level much of his career. As depth and veteran voice in the room I like it. Again different style of player and a guy Williams could benefit from.

This is why I would find a way to make a deal work with him. Soft spoken, team guy. Showed up to Minicamp. Will show up to training camp. Agents, media all think he should hold out.

Low risk depth. Maybe can be a voice in Dorian Williams ear. Different type of player from Benard and Milano. Thompson would be what you would want Williams to become.

Fred Jackson and Kyle Williams are all time Bills from the Draught Era. Dawkins now is the unheralded. Dude spear headed and got an Oline award added to NFL honors. Current Bills not named Allen, Dawkins is the best and most consistent.

We laugh now. I have faith in the Browns or Jets to do the unthinkable. And surrender a 1 point safety.

Agree with Hancock. He is roster lock. Last season Hamlin, Bishop, Rapp Edwards, and Lewis were on the intial 53. With Benford, Douglas, Johnson, Elam and Ingram I think there are more spots than you think. CB Benford, Hairston, White, Johnson and open could be Hancock or Hardy, Jackson, Ingram and Strong. S Rapp, Bishop and 3 spots could be Hancock depends what position he plays through camp preseason. If he takes Lewis that still leave 2 open spots. For Hamlin, Forest, Lewis, and possibly Owens. I get the numbers change each year but on a team that didn't have much roster turn over Safety and depth at Safety is the only real open competition on the roster. If a UDFA makes the roster its the likely only spot possible unless they find a return man.

I think you can have one of Ingram, Lewis and Hamlin. All three is an issue.

It would explain a-lot. Some havent suffered through the drought and it shows. Some still act like we are. All we wanted was a team that every year was on a short list of favorites to win the Superbowl with a franchise Qb. Allen is the best watch in the league qb wise. Buffalo is entertaining in the best and worst ways. Only thing left is raising the lombo .

I think that is what opens the door. No one has taken control of either spot. Rapp and Bishop are on the roster and Hancock is likely a utility Db. Thats its. I felt one of the biggest glaring issues with the team was the athleticism of the secondary. Owens brings that. Would have to wow on teams. His ability lend itself to the type of guys that do that. Talking 53rd guy who would be active game days. I dont think he is a lock but certainly a guy to monitor.

I think a more multiple coverage secondary with more 2 high safeties. I expect alot of Dorian Williams early and often. Early down 4-3 fooled Baltimore early on in the playoffs third down defense was terrible.

The covid offseason imo greatly impacted Epenesa. Imo went to too far and lost strength. Took a year plus to bring that back. But to a lesser extend the training was for speed imo. Everyone came in got leaner it felt. Everyone is different. Some guys need to fill out. Some need to redistribute the weight. Some need to get a bit leaner. Felt like everyone was on similar trajectories the last few years as a training staff.

Because he was schemed around. You cant be in the conversation for Probowl when you are playing 50% of the defensive snaps. He was taking out so his limitations wouldn't be magnified. Dolphins struggled vs the TE position even in the wins during that stretch. This is where analytics and real life clash. He is a back up/ 2 down linebacker in the NFL.

I disagree using PFF as a single measure. Dodson being schemed around and having a less effective defense doesn't make him a better player. He is a limited athlete that gets more neutral grades than negative ones due to not being in a position to make a play. By not being in position to make the tackle or stop the pass he isnt graded on it . Bernard will have a lower tackle|stop %. Because he is traveling further to make the plays. The fumble vs the Ravens is likley a negative because Andrews made the catch. Mind you Bernard had the entire middle and was on an island with Andrews. Came up made the play and strip in a position Dodson would never be put in or able to make. No one can watch the Bills in 23 and 24 and say with a straight face Dodson is a better linebacker. Not one. Shoot PFF linebaker and interior line analytics in the sun. The plays Bernard misses Dodson would not be in position to make. The plays Bernard does make Dodson doesnt…

I think you gotta show up. Want to play hard show up and show your work. But we all know Diggs is loving the attention and gossip with Cardi B. Bills should have jumped off the train right then. In the interview Mcdermott did with Sal he brought up someone told him he is ok with 2nd place. No doubt in my mind that was Diggs.

True but some are actual throw aways. Either they make a great catch or it’s incomplete. Kincaid and Coleman are in position for an increase in production and I think one or both have big years. Il add Shakir too but different reasoning. Shakir has received an increase in targets every year and expect this season to be no different. I think Shakir will be primary on most designed pass plays. I think he gets around 120 targets and break 1,000 yards.

Thats a great thing. Being confident in the scheme and directing teammates is key. He has the ability to be very good. I think Bishop has a Benard type year 2. Both seemed like Mcdermott guys watching the embedded series. Having athletes in the secondary will unlock the pass defense again.

Im sure some are. My first Bills football memory was laughing manically as an older sibling was crying in their Raider starter jacket when Buffalo won to make the superbowl. I was very young and a fan ever since. The drought years were very tough. When in doubt the current Bills are what any fan hoped for during that time. I still think Allen will go crazy in a playoff run and win a superbowl like Farve and Rodgers.

From the videos he looks fast and smooth. White running first early isnt a surprise. I think by the first week of August he is splitting reps with White. White is the floor Hairston has to run down. Imo he will.

You’re not wrong. Imo opportunity comes in Pa. Early down run sets when Coleman was the singular wr the passing game was effective. Buffalo was near the bottom in the NFL in PA rate. If Coleman can take over that Hollins role those early downs Coleman needs to be a mfer as a run blocker. If that happens the PA unlocks on early downs. Coleman in playaction puts him naturally in those condensed sets where Shakir is likely the z. Many times late in the year it was Shakir and Hollins early run duo. Coleman instead of Hollins makes passing more enticing.

Also the role. Single wr and run heavy formation Coleman will be on the field. He became a beast taking that role from MVS. I think Coleman will have a Marqise Colston or Micheal Thomas type impact and season. Slants from the X and attack the seems from the slot. Coleman was top 5 in the NFL in yards after catch over expectations. For his size he is great after the catch. Him playing 215-220 isnt much but imo noticeable. At the end of the year I think Coleman emerges more so than Kincaid.

He isn't recovered yet. I think come Sept he is in Buffalo either practice squad or main roster if there is an injury.

From his press conference his upper body looks bigger. He learned some stuff from Von but his length is his x factor. Add power to really take advantage of optimal matchups. I think the change in Strength and Conditioning is obvious. Some guys need to get stronger not faster. I think Coleman and Rousseau could really benefit from adding some weight and playing bigger. Their size is already a plus add the play strength to unlock more potential.

Get him to January some what healthy. Thats what he is brought in for. He was a menace vs Houston.
