  1. This isn’t even really about Miami.  
     

    Those saying, “is OBJ the type of signing we really want for our WR room?”

     

    Maybe, maybe not ….

     

    We just don’t want Mack Hollins as our WR4.   For a team with Super Bowl aspirations, that shouldn’t be too much to ask for.

    Fortunately for them, there's enough bad teams to carry them to the playoffs. It took an epic collapse at the end to lose the division last year. 

     

    Even our own defense hasn't proven they can stop elite QBs either (especially not in the playoffs). That's why I've wanted the Bills to stop investing so many resources into D & go all in on just trying to overwhelm with offense. 

     

    If we can't shut down (or even contain) Burrow or Mahomes in the playoffs, we need to be able to out gun them. Dolphins seem to think the same thing, only their QB isn't as good as ours.


    McDermott’s best coaching job, imo, was shutting down that Miami offense in its prime after they scored on their first few drives. 
     

    They can perform against Tua, Lamar types but yea.. I still have no confidence in them against Burrow or Mahomes when it matters. 
     

    Only positive note I have is that it seems they recognize that and have swapped out coaches and took a guy like Solomon that goes against their traditional archetypes. 
     

    Would also help if they could stay somewhat healthy going into those games.

    DJ Chark signs with the Chargers.
    Tyler Boyd signs with a team that already employs Calvin Ridley and DeAndre Hopkins.
    Odell Beckham Jr signs with a team that already employs Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Braxton Berrios, and just drafted Malik Washington.

    The Bills sign...Chase Claypool and Quintez Cephus.

    I'm sure I'll get a few thumbs down and eyeroll emojis for pointing out the wildly uninspiring way in which the Bills are approaching the wide receiver position. Whatever. Pour me a ***** shot.


     


    Nothing wrong with what you say here. 
     

    If you think of Kincaid as our default 1, with Knox as the traditional TE and then Coleman, Samuel and Shakir as WR2’s, you can reasonably talk yourself off the ledge, but it’s a lot of projection. 
     

    On the bright side, we have a better OL than teams like the Jets, Fins and Titans.

    Back to hearing how Lamar has no weapons..

     

    Real talk, Miami should be really good this year.


    We said this last year. 
     

    They’ll boat race bad teams again.  
     

    Remains to be seen if their defense has enough to stop elite QB’s and if Tua can man up against good teams when the weather turns cold.

    Hmm this is something at least. My worry is that it means the Bills are done with the WR room though. They are seemingly betting on one of Hamler or Claypool to restore their careers here with no backup plan in place.


    We have money freeing up on 6/1, which I figured would be used on either WR or DE … Bringing in Claypool and Smoot is interesting as to whether it has any bearing on my assumption for either position. 

  6. As it stands, we have 3 roster locks and Mack Hollins as a likely 4th.

     

    If we don’t make any additions, my pre-camp guess would be Hamler and Shavers as the 5th & 6th, based on what we’ve heard. 
     

    Shorter and Cephus being their competition but Hamler brings a speed element we can use on the outside and Shavers has been specifically referenced a few times by Beane.

    I think that one thing we can't count on is that everyone will stay 100% healthy again like last year. To have all 5 guys play every game is an anomaly that probably doesn't happen often. 

     

    I think this year we will get to see some of the 2nd and 3rd level guys when the inevitable injuries happen. The rooks from last year had a whole year to adapt and learn, so hopefully they're ready to go. 

     

    I honestly have to commend Beane on this OL.

     

    We'll see what happens at Center, but VPG could very well be starting there.. he's that good.

     

    If that's the case and McGovern moves back to LG, our potential depth is Van Demark (LT), Anderson (G/C), Collins (G/RT) and Edwards (G/C).  Really nice depth and we'll see what Grable looks like this summer.  I'd expect Gouraige, Clapp and the British guy to be PS.

    I may have my expectations too high, but if he doesn't win the starting C spot I'll be disappointed. 

     

    He's my favorite pick in this draft, and it'd be awesome to see a talented young center takeover & anchor the line. The more I learn about him, the more hyped up I get!

     

    He's got the potential to be our best player in this class, and that's no disrespect to Coleman or the others. 

     

    If VPG had position flex, he would've been a Day 2 Pick.  

     

    If he was a Day 2 pick, we'd reasonably expect him to be our starting Center. 

     

    We got him in RD5 because that's really all he can do.  Kromer will obviously cross train him some at Guard, but he's truly built to be a Center (and could be a very good one at that) but is likely a liability anywhere else.  

     

    I too will be disappointed if he's not starting.  I think McGovern can be good at Center, but if we can keep all 4 positions from last year the same and only swap out Morse for VPG, that seems ideal.

    2 years in a row first pick for the Bills was a weapon for Josh.  Stop this false narrative all we do is pick defense early.  They have invested a lot of picks in the first 3 rounds on offense over the years despite the fact that the offense being the 2nd highest scoring offense in the NFL the past 4 years.

     

    Allen

    Dawkins - McGovern - VPG - Torrence - Brown

    Cook - Davis

    Kincaid - Knox

    Coleman - Samuel - Shakir

     

    This could very well be our core offense for, at least, the next 2 years. 

     

    I'd agree that if we all rationally step back and look at that potential Offense, that there is adequate investment around Allen.

     

    I wouldn't say that they've gone above and beyond for him, but I also wouldn't say they've left him out to dry.  Looks to me to be about average of what they could do and reasonably expect Allen to elevate everyone around him.

    How many Russian citizens NOT currently involved in invading/occupying someone else's country (Ukraine) have been killed? Has Ukraine invaded Russia like Israel has invaded Gaza?

    I support Israel's right to self-defense just like I support Ukraine's right.

     


    So do I .. but that doesn’t mean we need to fund forever wars.   At least Israel has an end game. 
     

    And I feel bad for innocent Palestinians and innocent Russians .. many of them didn’t ask or want this. 
     

    …and the ones that do, many have been brainwashed by years of propaganda to think that way.

    President Joe Biden said protesters at Columbia University were “wrong” and “not peaceful” after a group occupied a building on campus early on Tuesday morning, a move that forced the college to close its Morningside Heights campus to most students and faculty as tensions escalate between protesters and the administration.

     

    What are you freaks going to do when the college kids go home in ten days?

     

    What's the next premediated/instigated game plan?

     

     


    You don’t think what’s going on right now deserves a press conference?

     

    I know he’s incapable of it, but maybe we should have a President who is. 
     

    Hell.. let Kamala go out and hold one then. 
     

    Someone from this administration needs to step up and answer questions, address the nation.   Not John Kirby.  Not Karine Jean Pierre.   Biden or Harris.  Someone step up.

    Where’s ya boy?

     

    He had a lot to say about Charlottesville..

     

    We've got Jews being chased on campus, blocked from entering buildings, beaten unconscious at protests..

     

    Haven't seen him in days.  Might be nice to hear from the guy who claimed he ran for President based on a day of antisemitism .. we’re going on weeks of it and it’s getting worse.

    I’ll add this here: Joe Marino had a guest on his show who talked about the Coleman pick. He openly admitted he immediately texted Joe “I don’t like this pick for you,” but then studied up Joe Brady’s offense more the following day. 

     

    That guest, who I don’t believe was a Bills fan, changed his mind after what he saw from what Brady’s style is and said Coleman is a perfect fit. 

     

    I've done a complete 180 on Coleman.  Think this dude has as good a chance as anyone to be WR1 in this Draft, especially given the QB he's paired with.

     

    That being said, I can't help but cringe at the bolded part..  Daboll to Dorsey, now Brady.. we're never going to have more than 2-3 years of consistency at OC either way.  They'll either go the way of Daboll or go the way of Dorsey.. and getting guys to fit a scheme just makes me a bit uneasy with that knowledge.

    I don’t want anyone taking snaps from Shakir or Coleman. How many WRs do people think will get meaningful snaps and targets?

     

     

     

    I'm good with Coleman, Shakir, Samuel and Kincaid being our main receiving group with Knox, Cook and Davis/Johnson mixed in.. but I'd like a WR4 to rotate in on 4 wide sets and as WR depth. 

     

    -Two seasons ago we entered the playoffs with street free agents taking meaningful snaps at WR

     

    -Last year we lost Davis at the end of the season and had Sherfield as a starting WR in the playoffs
