Here’s a scenario... week 4 a team puts in for Hodgins from the PS.... now he has to be put on the 53.
Who do the Bills drop?
Id be shocked if a team did that, given they’d have to add Hodgins to their 53. I remember last year, it may have been Sal C, or one of the other guys, discussing PS poaching, and he outlined how rare it is for someone - especially one with hardly any tape - to get poached.
That said, given the investments to Special Teams we have made, I think it’s unlikely we drop Roberts. It would come down to Hodgins vs Duke, or dropping another position.
I’m not 100% sold on keeping Duke, but he keeps making plays in practice, and I’ve seen with my own two eyes, him have a 100 yard receiving game in the pros.

I’m going:
Diggs
Brown
Beasley
Davis
Duke
Roberts
Hodgins to PS
Foster/McKenzie cut
Id like to keep Foster, but just don’t see him beating out Duke. I’m fine with having Roberts as designated PR/KR.

Hard pass. Given the possibility of Ford moving inside to RG and the fact we already have a strong DL, I’m not sure why we’d move Nsehke for a guy like Ingram.
If we’re trying to upgrade the DL and willing to pay someone, go young and trade for Ngakoue.

Gabe Davis vs Duke Williams vs Isaiah Hodgins vs Robert Foster vs Isaiah McKenzie
I think there’s been recent years where this could’ve been our competition for the 1, 2 and 3 WR spots.
Semi-joking aside... Gabe Davis straight up looks the part.

I agree with you. Total JAG.
Milano is not a JAG, but he is elevated by our system.
If the choice is paying Milano vs trading away a 2nd and paying Yannick, i'd probably go with Yannick, while acknowledging he will certainly cost much more.

I dont think people realize how a kicker actually changes the offense in certain situations.
Take Hauschka last year. Mcdermott and Daboll know that they need to get the ball to at least the 40 for Hauschka to even have a chance to kick it and hence if the ball is at the 50 Daboll needs to be aggressive to put the ball in kicking range.
So many times we wouldn't move the ball and instead have to punt because we didn't execute the aggressive play.
With Bass, we only need to get the ball to the 45 and he can kick it. It means the offense doesn't have to be as aggressive on 3rd down and we can focus on picking up a couple yards instead of going for about 10.
Plus the Bills offense simply doesn't score many TD's. We need every chance we can to put up 3.
A bit rambling but I hopefully others understand that.
I'll be shocked if Bass isn't on the team..
I have a feeling this offense is going to be much more aggressive this year, which in a different way, lends itself to Bass. If we have a kicker who can strike from almost anywhere in 35-38 yard line range, we can take shots and not worry about FG positioning.

Imagine spending months complaining about the Jaguars only to get traded to Adam Gase.
Wouldn’t mind the Jets making this move..
Ngakoue is a nice player, but not elite. Certainly not a player I want to trade a pick & overpay for.

Yeah, I'm right downtown too but hadnt seen anything about that. Figured it would be bigger news, but nothing turning up in Google or Twitter...
Same, i'm in Buckhead. Saw it on friends snapchats and ig stories. I'm going to have to try to link from there when I get a chance.
For the record - I have zero issue with the protests, I even went to some - but they weren't exactly what people want to frame them as (COVID-speaking), especially when day turned to night and the actual protesters were replaced by agitators.
My biggest worry about Bills tailgating would be those purposely seeking out mask-less folks to make us look bad.... which also happened during the protests. When politics are involved, you can bet people will find what they want to see, whether at a tailgate, protest or whatever.
That said, i'm here for it. i'd even be down to fly up for it and/or a game if fans are allowed, provided Cuomo chills on the out-of-state quarantine stuff.

I'll look for one. I live in Atlanta and video of pop up makeshift concerts were all over the socials down here.

The big missing piece is the pass rush. Even when we had Phillips and Lawson sacking opposing QB, it didn't feel like they were terrorizing the QB. We don't have that player who can make that play when it counts (even Hughes included). Examples are
* Allowing the game winning drive for Cleveland
* Allowing Houston to make a 3rd and eternity when it counted
* Allowing Lamar to pick and choose who he wanted to throw the ball
* Even allowing Ducky to make those throws at the end of the game (bailed out by the secondary)
I think allowing Shaq to walk and bringing in Addison was an immediate address of pass rush opposite Hughes being a necessity.
Shaq is a good player, but Addison is a much better pass rusher.

I don’t think that there were 20k people at BLM rallies sharing a hundred or so port-a-potties. Nor were most of them hammered - a time when the very best decision making usually happens.
I think the protests were a worthy cause and in no way am I criticizing them, but people are very disingenuous about explaining them away in regards to COVID.... Atlanta literally had a massive Travis Scott concert labeled as a “protest”. A lot of people only seeing what they want to see when invoking the protests (and that’s true for both sides of the aisle) -
I’m for it, and I’d go.
Im a religious mask wearer, who believes in social distancing when possible, but we also need to get back to somewhat of a normal.
Cases are going to happen regardless of what we do. Until there’s a vaccine, we have to learn to live with this.
Look at Florida, Texas, Georgia and South Carolina.. These states are as open as can be right now, and certainly have their fair share of cases, but with a death rate of around 43 per 100k, this is not what we thought it was when the NE was getting hit initially.

Those high school kids should be aware that at the rate we're going they're going to lose 2 years of spring sports. I've already had this discussion here in VA and parents weren't even considering this. No college basketball and March Madness again btw.
Don't believe it?
Yea I believed just 15 days.......
Until there’s a vaccine, cases will rise as soon as a densely populated area opens up a bit.
Wear a mask, socially distance where you can, but all that does is mitigate the spread a bit.
We can stay locked down all we want until football season, basketball season, whatever.. As soon as we open, it comes back. Been proven to be the case all over the world.

The defense is a good collection of talent. Tre is one of the best if not the best corner in the league, Hyde and Poyer are one of the best safety pairs in the league, Edumonds is a Pro-Bowl Caliber LB who can ascend into one of the best at the position, Milano is a borderline Pro-Bowl Talent and Ed Oliver is a breakout waiting to happen. The rest of the defense are solid starters and good role players.
But while the collection of talent is good, the way they play as a unit is outstanding. The D-line (barring an Ed Oliver breakout) doesn't feature any Pro-Bowl talent yet they consistently hold their own and the Secondary doesn't feature superstars at CB2 or CB3 yet they aren't a liability. It really is a well crafted defense.
The next step for this D is to get heavy pressure from the Front 4.
I think they’re well positioned to do that with Oliver in his second year and Addison/Epenesa as upgrades over Lawson/Murphy.
Id also like to see Edmunds blitz more. That dude could be an absolute menace rushing the passer.

Hopefully this happens.
Would be really frustrating to have no fans against the Jets, only to play the Jets w/ fans at the Meadowlands later in the year.
You can absolutely socially distance at 20-25% in an outdoor football stadium.

So both Gabe Davis and Isaiah Hodgins had good first days.... interesting.....
Re: Daboll and his complexity.. I've defended him, but we better see a legit offense this year. If not, i'll start leaning towards the view that he makes it unnecessarily complex.

The saliva test was a big breakthrough. I’m sure we’ll have others over the next few months.
Also, KC is allowing fans, so there’s that.

Big time. I don’t know what he had a chance to be, but he’s going to be completely ruined as a QB when the Jest are done with him.
I checked out their forum and they are spinning so hard on Perriman, Mims, Crowder and Herndon that even I thought for a second, dang... those dudes might actually be good.
I actually do like Crowder and think Herndon has upside. I also like the idea of tall, fast WR’s - until I remembered Perriman has all of 4 good games in his career and Mims is a rookie.
That OL is what will make or break Sam this year. He’s always been a guy who makes bad decisions under pressure and that doesn’t seem to be changing through his first two years.

All of that assuming Daboll is a good offensive coordinator and can use the pieces well, which is not a given.
And what does that mean to you? Do we have a top 10 offense? How many more points per game will we get?
Last year we were 24th in yards and 23rd in points per game at 19.6. Top 10 last year would have been at least 25.1 points a game.
I think we have the potential to field a Top 10 Offense, and should be middle of the pack on the lower end of the expectation scale.
We drafted Allen to be able to score from anywhere. We’ve now surrounded him with big play guys and two legitimate RB’s. If (big if) he figures out the deep ball, given how strong he makes us in the red zone to begin with, I think we’ll see a big jump in numbers.

The Bills are pretty similar to last year except for Diggs. The oline is still below average, in my opinion.
Now, maybe Diggs makes the huge difference that we all hope he does. That's totally possible and maybe even likely. But people are saying the Bills now have loads of talent around Allen on offense and really what they mean is we now have Diggs. That's the only difference.
I expect that our offense will still have growing pains. And I'm not convinced Daboll is that good of an OC yet, anyways. The jury is still out on him.
Can our offense be really good with basically only one different player? I guess we'll see.
I almost disagree with everything you said.
Adding a Top 10 caliber WR isn’t just a roster move... it’s a major addition. Everyone talks about Baker’s weapons, but take away Odell and your #1 is Landry - ain’t nobody scared of that. Now add Odell and make Landry the #2, that’s a problem.
Our OL was in its first year together, with a rookie RT. Rookie tackles typically struggle and Ford was certainly no exception. We return 4/5 starters, Center-Left is pretty good and Ford is no longer a rookie.
I don’t think it’s a good idea to count on rookies either... except maybe RB. RB’s adjust quicker than any other position and can usually make a difference right out the gate - Look no further than Singletary last year. I’m sure the Chiefs are counting on CEH.
Tight Ends typically take some time to make an impact. It should be expected that Knox will make somewhat of a jump.
Every team has to count on presumptions in how players will play, every year. I think we have reason to believe, at the very least: experience, a true #1 and non-corpse of a #2 RB will be a solid upgrade across the board.

We talk about how much better Allen should look with a cohesive OL, more experienced Knox, top 10 WR trio and a strong RB duo... Well, whoever our backup is gets to play with those guys too, should he need to see any time.
I'm not in love with Barkley, but as a game manager, with those weapons, and our defense, I think he can be ok.

They were back practicing today and SU released a statement that they will be testing 3x per week approaching, and in, season.
That reporter is a joke... the only verifiable piece of reporting is that they have indeed sat out 3 practices. Everything else is unnamed source this, unnamed source that, and nobody ended up opting out yesterday.
Would YOU pay for a ‘Bills Network’?

I don’t blame you at all.
I’m someone who is fine with athletes speaking up, I understand the kneeling and truly appreciate “some” of the activism going on in the NBA Bubble.
That said, the networks, specifically ESPN, took it way too far.. To the point where, even I, started tuning out.
They’ve toned it down a lot recently, but still, when the announcer in the Rockets/Thunder game right now randomly goes on a Breonna Taylor rant, I’m kind of over it... even if I think we need to examine no-knock warrants and understand the anger behind what happened.
When they start losing people like myself, I can’t imagine what someone who’s in law enforcement must feel like.
