Looks like Josh has game on and off the field...
BurpleBull replied to wiseman3's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
So did his play-action fake give birth to his cup trick, or did his cup trick give birth to his play-action fake? Hmmm. Questions. -

What AJ Espensa peers say about facing him...
BurpleBull replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
*Epenesa* Finally have a top notch rotational lineup on the D-line. -
If the Bills hadn't added Diggs to the lineup, there'd still be only one real threat to break the game open in John Brown on most downs; I thought it was imperative to add that speed element at the RB position to make life easier on Josh Allen by picking up those chunk yardage when he's struggling through the air. From what I can tell, Moss isn't the most elusive back and his power seems to dip if he isn't running with a full head of steam, straight at the defense , so my concern is that if defenses focus on clogging the running lanes between the tackles and are successful, then all that force Moss runs with is neutralized and then it's back to depending heavily on Singletary to make something happen.

Given the positional upgrade needs of last season, the Bills' 2020 free agent signings, this past NFL Draft, what trades/positional switches would you pull to make up for areas you feel still weren't adequately addressed this off-season? Here are mine: 1. Speed Back. Unless we have someone on the current roster waiting in the wings that will fill the role of speed back (maybe TJ Yeldon, Christian Wade, etc.) I'm going RB, because the offense needs a jolt in this department. Wasn't exactly thrilled about the recent Zack Moss selection, but I can respect it because he seems to offer at least three elements on offense that Devin Singletary either doesn't posses, or may not be quite as natural with: physicality, pass-blocking ability, and hands. I can live with the pick, but I can't get fully onboard with the excitement surrounding the Moss pick, because I could actually see him struggling, given his running style and the current O-line the Bills' have in place...assuming we're operating under last season's lineup. Which brings me to my next area of concern: 2. Interior Linemen. I think the Bills are in pretty good shape here, but I feel like the front office may have grown content with the current O-line, hopefully not. Barring injury or a surprise cut, we can expect to see a starting lineup comprised of Dion Dawkins (LT), Quinton Spain (LG), Mitch Morse (C,) Jon Feliciano (RG), and Cody Ford (RT), with Ty Nsekhe potentially playing a major role as swing tackle once again this year. The offense has gotten much better under this unit, but it's my belief that the O-line needed to get more physically imposing on the inside to accommodate Devin Singletary's strength running the ball; he's not the fastest guy running to the outside, so having that power on the inside would be highly beneficial I think, factor in Zack Moss' north-south power game, and it makes even more sense. Cody Ford's progression from last season will determine where he suits up for the majority of this season, but it was my wish to see Beane/McDermott pull the trigger on either a high-level RT or RG, as that would have served as an early indicator that nothing's been set in stone---in the mind's of the two---concerning Ford and the position opposite of Dawkins. Hoping Ford is the long-term answer at RT, but if not I'm also hoping the coaches don't fight the obvious and kick him to the inside where he may offer the most value. What's your position(s) of concern? Plug in your trade candidate(s) that comes to mind, who the Bills might have a realistic chance of landing.

Gabriel Davis was my Nathan Peterman pick at WR during this year's draft process. So was JaMychal Hasty at RB, but I'm not sure if he was drafted. -
