  1. Ideally, more passing and less running. 3500 yards 20 tds are two categories to strive to surpass. With better receiving threats out of the backfield, and underneath, it should result in an increase in yards and percentage. I'm high on Allen and think he can realistically do it. If Allen shows that kind of improvement Buffalo is in the playoffs.
  2. Seems its obvious that with a message there is a blurred line. Where is it? Two adults consent prove otherwise. Not an Attorney or judge or prosecutor? You must be all three. The state still has the burden of proving that Kraft solicited sex. Not knowing the conversation or cooperation of either party, seems it's a long shot to prove.
  3. What did he do? Obviously, they had nothing that would hold up in court. They bluffed the others into paying a small fine.
  4. It's a who ya know not a what ya know business. Hot coaches get everyone of their coaches jobs. In reality great players create just as many hot coaches. Every Qb coach Farve had I believe became a head coach.
  5. They win if people take the under. 90% of the people that dont follow Buffalo hear Allen is inaccurate, Buffalo missed out Antonio Brown and didn't bring I a super star. They went 6 -10 last year. Not a hard sell for the Joe redzone.
  6. Is he tired of going through the grind or Physically unable to continue? Seems like an outright release was a dick move if later is the case... Come September, October he would be an interesting guy to follow.
  7. He seemed like he was done to me. Dorsey is a Qb coached. Seemed liked Anderson was brought in to fill that position when it was obvious it was needed. Barkley is the backup. Tyree Jackson imo will display too much potential to put on PS. Eventually, he is the perfect back up for Allen in play style.
  8. Shady has trained with Gore for a few years now. Imo, trying to do what Gore does because he has been able to thrive past 30 better than any other back in recent memory. I think it's fair to say, yes Gore will push Shady. Why? Who is more accomplished? Gore. Who is higher on the all time rushing list? Gore. If it's a popularity contest? Or the spot is given to seniority? Gore. Shady has to out work him, and out produce him from now to September to be the starter. Every team Gore goes to he starts over younger guys with more potential. Will Buffalo be any different?
  9. They are about the same size. Oliver is a better athlete. He was coming out of Highschool. It's a 3 star athlete in Donald vs 5 star athlete in Oliver. Donald learned great technique to win, Oliver used his great athletic ability for the most part. If Oliver was more polished, he would have been drafted top 5.
  10. Ehhh. I think Buffalo was smart to wait the injury out. Healthy Ansah is an upgrade. Injured he is not. Ansah is a power rusher. He wont be cleared til August? Still wont rule out a last offseason additionor trade.
  11. He was more athletic than I expected. He most likely beats out Fisher as the blocking te. He might not be the Blocker but adds way more potential as a Wr.
  12. That's the question. If he cant catch he is strictly a replacement for McCoy/Gore. If he can, Buffalo may have found a steal.
  13. Allen having all the meaningful reps over the spring and summer should result in better timing for the passing offense. Having better Wrs in the offense Jones should see more opportunities. What he does with them are on him. I expect Jones to be the most productive Wr next season. I think he will end up leading the team in catches and Tds.
  14. Benjamin and Holmes prove height is meaningless. Skill and talent are the most important parts.
  15. Playing behind 2 big, strong arm QBs should help Jacksons progress. Allen and Derek Anderson should give him a template on how to play. If not he could take a swing at TE. 6-7 250 and athletic isnt a bad guy to keep on the team. My guess they try to stash him on P.S. In all seriousness Dorsey was a Qb coach for Newton. Allen is a similar player. For Jackson to grow at the position he is probably at the best place.
  16. Antonio Brown and OBJ are pretty good at it. They are 5"11. The fade and back shoulder fade are on the Qb as much as a Wr.
  17. With Rbs we will see it preseason game 1. Is he quick enough, big enough, good enough. With that position they either got it or they dont. I think behind McCoy and Gore he has a rare chance to learn the position from 2 guys who could be Hall of Famers and 2 guys who were able to take care of their bodies in a manner that allowed them to play RB into their 30s. Beane thinks he will be a playmaker time will tell.
  18. For a running back that's not super small. I'm curious to see how Singletary performs with a professional recovery regimen, and less usage. To me his burst is up there with any Rb drafted, and he isnt small for his frame. Utilize him like the team used McKenzie last year out of the slot and backfield and you might have found a playmaker. Rb was a massive question maker but now has some added talent with what could be specific roles to increase productivity.
  19. I could see 1 or the other playing primary back up to Beasley. I think McKenzie did everything they thought Mccloud would do. Having a vetran slot guy might help one of them become better in that area. In terms of size? New England won all their super bowls with smallish wrs as the best wr. Troy Brown, Deon Branch, Juliann Edelman. Overall, I think Zay is getting the most heat but can do the most of any of the wrs. The group is significantly upgraded than this time last year. The opening day last year Benjamin, Holmes, and Kerly may have been the slowest group of Wrs in a decade. Foster, Jones, Beasley and Brown is a pretty solid group. Jones and Beasley in the short to intermediate with Brown and Foster intermediate to deep. Alot of Allen's runs were the result of 0 man with no reliable wr to get quick seperation or make a contested Catch. Beasley was brought in for this precise reason. Get Allen a guy who can get seperation under 7 yards. The whip route with Allen's velocity will be unstoppable if they get in sync. The contested catch guy could be where D Williams comes in but I have doubts, I think they hope one of the TEs can be that guy.
  20. It's the vision and burst that created the production. Now in terms of testing. His physical ability is no different than Jacobs.
  21. Florio is actually high on the Bill's and Allen. It's very simple, the media heads who pushed back against Allen are low in the Bill's. Those that like Alen think Buffalo is on the rise.
  22. In a Spiller type of carry count he could be very dynamic. I dont think he will be a 25 to 30 carry guy in the NFL. In today's game that isnt needed. 15 to 20 touches in a Tarik Cohen or Alvin Kamara type role makes his selection make alot more sense.
  23. It's a little bit of both. Sure every guy drafted for the most part gives the same cliche responses. Oliver's reaction was more than just cliche responses. Ford's reaction was more aswell. Liked the fit the coaching and seems genuinely excited. Having guys wanting to play for the team vs guys who are happy they are in the league is a step in the right direction.
  24. I dont see it that way at all. Zay started his first year in the NFL. Williams didn't make the team. Last year Zay was the most consistent Wr on the team from week 1 to 17 with 4 different QBs throwing him the ball. Jones is battling for a starting position, and Williams is battling for the 53rd spot on the team. I dont see 1 thing as a football player, Williams is superior to Jones at. I think Zay suprises many this year and puts up good numbers. I would be more surprised by Williams making the team then Jones becoming a number 1 wr.
  25. Cowherd plays towards the Bigger markets. His guy Rosen is now in Miami. So he has to make an argument why Miami is better. They might have an argument that Miami has better Wrs but that's it.
