    He has flashed some good/great plays.  Doesn'tt consistently hold up at point of attack and oddly he has not been a consistent disruptor in the backfield.  


    Hard to follow and see all players, especially DT’s. These should make people feel better about Oliver.

    The game vs Arizona Cardinals in ‘90 was the worst wind game ever. Team benches were blowing onto the field as a monster winter storm blew in. Kelly shredded them. Steve Tasker caught his 1st ever TD Pass. Took 5 hours to reach Dansville that night.

     

    I was at that game, i remember AZ punting and it got caught in the wind and ended up behind the punter. Worst weather ever, rain, sleet, hail etc all with wicked wind, totally sucked and yes the drive home was terrible especially soaked.

     

    A few weeks later i was able to be in a suite during good weather thinking about how bad my luck was not having them reversed.

    It's strange what's happened to him in Cleveland. It's not like they don't game plan to get him his targets. I don't know if he's in his head or what but he hasn't been the same. Go back to the NFC. Packers would be smart to jump on this. 


    Browns ...........

     

    “This wasn’t no business move,” he says. “This was personal. They thought they’d send me here to die.” (The Giants declined to comment on Beckham’s exit.)

    These, though, are not those same Browns. Beckham believes he’s perfectly matched with Kitchens, an imaginative schemer, and Mayfield

    Sorry, multi tasking.  So early returns from Diggs vs a rookie is expected.....long term we will see.  It was probably a good trade for where the Bills are.

     

    Yes, that's what I'm thinking. Plus the fact that he was more of a know commodity (separation, catch rate, 1000 yd season) is worth something. As much as the rookies may look great only time will tell if they can perform at the next level consistently, and when they have to go against the #1 CB or double covered.

    Concluding Thoughts

    When Jalen Ramsey’s deal was announced, it was clear as day that Tre’Davious White’s contract wasn’t in the same stratosphere. However, with the details now laid out in front of us, it’s clear that White’s deal isn’t even 2ND amongst his position in many of the major categories. Buffalo scored a fairly team-friendly deal from their All-Pro DB.

    In terms of Ramsey, did the Rams reach too high? As many have noted, the trade compensation that brought Jalen to LA (two first round picks & a 4th round pick) immediately pushed his contract demands to a new level. Subsequently, the WR market continued to rise this summer, with DeAndre Hopkins, Keenan Allen, & Amari Cooper eclipsing the $20M mark. The cornerback market has long been trying to keep up with the rise of the WR numbers, so the push to $20M was always in play here, and Ramsey’s base value reaches that plateau exactly.

    Who benefits next? The player most likely to see a financial gain isn’t even a cornerback. Newly acquired Seahawks safety Jamal Adams now sits as the next player to be traded for two first rounds picks (plus a 3rd, & a player) with his eyes on a sophomore contract extension. The current high bar at safety is Budda Baker’s new $14.75M mark, a figure Adams should easily surpass in a year or so (his contract will not be addressed until after the 2020 season per terms of the trade).

    It might be interesting to also list salaries.   Also, comparing a 5 year vet to WR's in their first game where there was no offseason or preseason is kind of ridiculous.  

     

    You may have missed this in my post "I understand it's one game, means virtually nothing and "get back to me after the season" applies." But thanks.

     

    Although, I pay Diggs for the exact reason you bring up. With no offseaon or preseason he is worth the difference in pay if the Bills want to win now.

    If I'm not mistaken, also in a positive way holding guys accountable for balls he would have brought down or held on to (his body language after Knox)

     

    Totally positive. I love me some John Brown, but he is a quiet humble guy. Diggs is a vocal vet with passion to pump everyone up, call them out, help them out and be a leader in the WR room is just an added bonus. The discussions he was having with everyone including Allen during practice that some reporters were trying to make into a big deal was just him trying to make the team better to me. His interview after the game saying he enjoyed seeing Allen having fun and promoting that all game, He a dogg

    The stats are good (thanks for putting them together) but the truth is, regardless of his stats, his veteran presence was obviously on Sunday.  Great blocking, taking huge hits and holding onto the ball, pointing Allen towards open receivers (Knox in corner of end zone) etc.  Diggs is fun to watch and he and Brown are the best 1-2 WR combo we have had in years.  

     

    Totally agree.

     

    Also, in terms of catches and yards he is a known factor and as a #1 has their attention and best CB &/or double where the rookies likely had their catches vs #2 or #3, although i turned the game off it did look like Jeudy was getting attention early.

  9. I was curious about the rookie WR's and started looking their game 1 stats up. Thought in case anyone else was interested I would post.

     

    I understand it's one game, means virtually nothing and "get back to me after the season" applies.

    With all respect, saying you're good 'cuz it's not 'on par' (see what I did there?) as the lowest-class behavior by the looniest toon exNFer, sets a pretty low bar

     

    Yeah i'm grading on a curve and thanks to AB the curve looks like a lopsided plate.

     

    He makes Zay and Kuandijo's offseason adventures look almost normal.

     

  11. I think the new state of the art training facility and locker rooms was a step in the right direction. Last year Beasley was impressed enough to comment about how much better they were than the Cowboys. This with the family, friends and team culture in the whole organization will help change minds along with winning and making the playoffs as long as they can get them to come visit.
