    Isaiah McKenzie aka, Lil Dirty, sounds like he’s moving on

    Bills fans have an amusing infatuation with UDFA/7th picks at WR. First it was Martin Nance and then that DaRick Rogers guy. How often does that work out? I’m not saying it never happens, but it’s like finding a needle in a haystack. I think Stevie Johnson is the only one that I can think of in recent memory that actually panned out.


    I think WR is a huge need for this team as well, the only reason I didn’t include it in our draft needs is because I think Buffalo needs to go here in FA. I’ll admit that there’s a few guys I’m salivating over in the draft, mainly that kid from USC and that kid from Kentucky, but WR typically has a steep learning curve and I think that there’s some really quality plug in play guys in FA that would provide us with great value financially and could provide us instantly with a high level of production.

     

    I think that Buffalo should ultimately go corner and OL in the draft, mainly because we can free up big money here by cutting Feliciano and by not overpaying an average corner like Levi Wallace big money.

     

    I would also argue that a solid LB is a necessity as well. I like the Tindall kid from Georgia, he’s probably a big upgrade over Edmunds, Klein and Matekavich and we would be paying him a lot less money and we could hopefully free up even more cap room here as well.


    All kinds of late round WR picks go on to have decent careers in the NFL, not just Stevie Johnson. 
     

    You normally see these guys turn up more on a team with solid QB play, something Bills haven’t had in many years but have now.

    I could be wrong but I think they drafted Stevenson to be that speedy deep threat WR we lacked after we parted from John Brown.

     

    The problem I have with Stevenson in the return game is that he seemed to lack field vision and cutting ability, which is something you can show in any aspect of the game.  Guy without field vision or cutting ability is not a guy who's gonna play in the slot.  Miles to go there. 

     

    The guy you draft in the 6th is typically a guy who doesn't have a complete game and who is expected to need a couple years of development, so I'm sure he'll come into camp.

     
    So you are basing everything on his return game. 😂 Coming out of college his vision with the ball in his hand was one of his strengths. We’ll see I guess. I’m not saying he’s the answer but I always thought that’s what they would be hoping for him.  Just think it’s funny people giving up on a WR because of a shaky rookie season returning punts.

    The point is, McKenzie wants a chance to start in the slot (listen to his podcast with Ty Dunne, he made that clear) and be paid more than vet minimum.   His best route to regular offensive playing time is the slot, so if Beasley is on the field in the slot, McKenzie's on the bench.

     

    "Room for both on the roster if the Cap allows": Beasley is due $7.2M and is 33 years old.  If we keep him, we have to scrimp somewhere else, so we probably need to go low budget at #4 WR on, unless that #4 guy is our PR/KR too.  I think it's fair to say McKenzie failed his PR audition, and we'll be looking elsewhere.

     

    Whether or not we keep Beasley on the roster, we need to find room to develop his replacement.  So if they don't think McKenzie is that guy, we probably need to move on and draft/develop another young player. 

     

    Please note that I like McKenzie and feel he fills a valuable role on the team, I'm just being pragmatic.  If we move on from Beasley, there might be room for him, but if he wants a chance to play from the slot and Beasley is back, chances are he's going to go somewhere else.


    I thought Stevenson would be the replacement for Beasley at some point. People are shitting on him about the return game but we know nothing about him as a WR at this point. Which is no surprise after injury and having McKenzie with more experience in that roll at this point. McD loves experience. 
     

    I like McKenzie and think we’d be fine if we let Beasley go to free cap space. If anybody doesn’t think he can do it go back and watch the Pats game 2021 and Dolphins game 2022. Kid makes plays. He’s be learning under Beas for 3 years now, he’s ready.

    Mike McDaniel hired as HC by Miami

    Looking at his history how did this guy get an NFL Intern job with Washington in 2005?  He was a history major at YALE.  Wondering who sponsored him into the league.  No football background that I could find in my limited research.  


    Actually his resume is probably similar, to Brian Flores when he was hired by the Miami. Maybe better. What background do ya want? Not every coach needs to have nfl playing experience. Looks like he knew what he wanted to do the minute he left college and went out and pursued it.

    Rooney Rule Requirements

    I hate the Rooney rule because it’s not working. It’s crazy too me how guys like Eric Beinemy, Todd Bowles, and other top coordinators of color still can’t sniff  HC jobs but a guy like Josh McCown, A guy with zero coaching experience can be a lead candidate.


    A league that’s 70% African America but there is only 1 African American HC. That’s crazy too me 

     

    Todd Bowles was the Jets coach for 3 years, he wasn’t that successful so it’s gonna take time before he gets another shot. Eric Bienemy had close to a half dozen interviews last season, maybe he doesn’t handle an interview well, we don’t know.  Neither do the the talking heads on most sports channels.  
     

    What’s going on with McCown blows my mind but the Texans have done a lot of crazy things the past few years.

    Do you think white people aren't given a fair shake? Are they not eligible for the draft?

    Maybe they should invite more to the combine. Jk

    Allen is better

    To be fair, not drafting Mahomes was completely stupid.  Just because it worked out a year later doesn't mean that passing him was a good call.  Just dumb luck that worked out.  

     

    As far as who is better, they're all so close at this point it doesn't really matter.


    Wasn’t stupid at all. If everyone knew what Mahomes would become he would of gone #1, he didn’t for a reason. He’s a great player but he also was blessed having a team like KC making the jump to get him. They were a team ready to play for Championships but needed figure out the QB position to do so. 
     

     

    Same can be said for Allen, if teams knew what he’d become he’d would of went first as well.  Bills made the leap for Allen but were the total opposite, they were figuring out how to win and do it consistently. The whole offense was gutted the year he arrived. 
     

    I think it’s too hard to judge at this point. Last year I would of said Mahomes but now I’m not sold on that. Only time will tell. Let’s hope it’s Josh

    Personnel and dline rotation

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted · Edited by BananaB

    Seems to me the coaching staff are making some bad personnel decisions. I just don’t get it it’s like they gotta backed in a corner to figure some ***** out.

     

    The changes on the oline were constant for most of the year and Bates was an afterthought until forced into a roll. In the end he seemed to be the missing link. 
     

    Run game is dependent on the oline but they also mismanaged the group for the amount of runs we call. Singletary stepped up only when they eliminated the RB by committee and that was going on for almost 2 seasons.  That’s all anyone talked about was how we struggled to run the ball. 
     

    Sanders over Gabe, I think this was more McD liking the veteran experience better then who is actually the better player. I thought Gabe would have a breakout year and maybe he still did down the stretch but it wasn’t until Sanders got hurt that he got more snaps and proved he was a better fit for our O. Not sure what Sanders did in a Bills uni that Gabe didn’t already prove he could do last season.  I think McKenzie and Beas situation was different because Beas has proven and done a lot for this team. 
     

    The D line, every week it was kind of guess who was gonna be in the lineup.  The amount they rotate it’s hard to make judgement there. I know this, at times we struggle to get to the QB and at times we struggle to stop the run.  My biggest question here is if the rotation is slowing down the development of the young players we invested high draft picks on? I ask this because Ed has finally starting to turn corner. Would it have happened earlier if he was on the field more over the first few years? Now we have Epanesa, Bashem and Rousseau who are high round guys who at times may have shown flashes but nothing consistent. Are we gonna be waiting for them edging the end of their rookie contracts before they put it all together, if so it’s never gonna work out for us. Harry is another guy that has finally looked like he’s starting to turn the corner.  I guess in the end it will keep their second contracts lower. Lol

    McKenzie Talks 13 seconds

    The same guy who was begging for Beane to sign him last year is leaving because he was benched after he fumbled. In my opinion that better then being traded like the Broncos did to him. And if he’s upset because he was benched for a fumble I doubt he’s headed to New England. 
     

    If Beane called his agent and said listen we’re dropping Beas and we want Lil Dirty to fill his roll, he’d sign in an instant.  If we’re keeping Beas though I understand him wanted to look around.
