If so, how does Collins worth have a job?
He has founded an NFL "analytics" empire that is already intrinsically interwoven with so many broadcasts and online channels. And somehow much of the U.S. NFL viewing public might actually NOT have viscerally negative responses to his appearance, voice, and general demeanor?! That seems crazy, though. That guy is like an undead zombie (ever looked at his hands ffs) avatar for yucky 1980s white male privilege.
**analytics is in quotes because PFF's core rankings are subjective and suspect to their cores.

With all of this turnover we see with sportscasters, I wonder how much of it is based off audience viewership feedback vs wanting to bring someone in at a lesser salary?
Gotta be both. People DGAF to listen to Boomer (who is still at least smart, if not irrelevant) or Simms (who has been a wooden statue for years).

Ryan seems like just a younger version of who just got axed. Total milquetoast.

Honestly rarely watch anything but the actual game. But every once in a while I tune in early or the post game show is still on in the background.
I am pretty sure I've never heard Matt Ryan speak. If you played just his voice I would not be able to pick him out. I have no idea how he will do.
Never a big fan of his. Choked alot in the playoffs even though the SuperBowl loss was more on the defense.
Pretty much yes to this. I HAVE heard Matt Ryan speak, and it makes sense why a broadcast network signed him: he seems like a safe, younger, lame, former QB to replace the really old, lame, old AF former QBs.

To be clear, I think Claypool should probably NOT make the 53 man roster. He has contributed progressively less each year of his career. Came into the league with some rare physical gifts, but likely lacks the discipline and humility to actually IMPROVE. He got a legitimate chance at it: over 100 targets each of his first two seasons, and still was shipped out in year three. And then again in year four. Really bad catch %. Really bad ROI.
Sure I'd be happy to root for him if he has turned some unexpected corner in his professional career. But I don't think that's likely. Especially in the Bills passing offense that requires a lot of its WRs pre- and post-snap.
No reason to be mad at Beane for giving the guy a look (as long as his dead cap is super low once he's cut), but the physical traits shouldn't be attracting many NFL suitors anymore imho.

Because to admit that he'd probably walk in here as WR1 would mean maybe things aren't as buttoned up as people have convinced themselves they are
Because Baltimore also has an AllPro TE and TWO first round picks at WR to spread the ball around
They didn't really have that all-pro TE for more than 60% of last season, and their ROOKIE WR was a MUCH larger piece of the puzzle than Beckham Jr. In fact, Beckham's numbers were closer to BOTH TEs (including the injured one) than they were to Flowers. He DID way outpace Agholor and Bateman lol, I guess.
Baltimore is not where WRs go to flourish. So that's in fact a benefit to Beckham's prospects. Those highlights are sharp. But still, he has not logged a complete, successful season, in a LONG time.

No. The Jets are the two-time defending offseason champions.
How does anyone forget the Jets preseason hype machine? Is it the unbelievably hilarious and predictable Rodgers flop that ended their season four snaps into week one (despite Allen's nightmare efforts to lose that one)? Oh man, him running onto the field with an American flag. So good.
9 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said:Yards dont mean squat. Points and wins are what matters. And over the last handful of years the Dolphins only have 1 win over us, and it took them harnessing the power of the SUN to beat us.
For all the flack I've given McD, he's proven he has Tua figured out. Take away his first option and he's toast.
He's "ok" at getting the ball out to weapons who can YAC. He's not a good field general.
Milano will end him this year.
They did play us tough in 2022 in general, including their 3rd string QB nearly pulling something off on the road in the playoffs. That was troubling. But seems like McD and his D have since adjusted to Miami's mostly scripted first-read attack. And now that their defense has lost mucho talent in the front-7 (to injury and FA)...I think they're even less of a threat than ever.

Allen was an effing beast in that game, and ironically it was HIS bad throw at the end that was the difference.

Miami's only win involved all of these extenuating circumstances. It's remarkable what it takes for the Dolphins to beat Josh Allen.
2 hours ago, HappyDays said:Not sure why everyone thinks he is totally washed. It's upsetting that Beane didn't think this type of talent was worth Deonte Harty money when our outside WR depth chart is the worst in the league. I just don't get it.
Gotta be real here: this highlight package is super impressive. Looks like the OBJ that generated so much buzz so long ago.
So was it just injuries, and then (when healthy again finally) being part of a Lamar Jackson offense that diminished his impact? These are Baltimore highlights, but from the look of them, you have to at least wonder, "why aren't there more of these?"

I just watched it. Look Shakir is a good dude and I appreciate how hard he is working to be better..... but all through his workout I was just thinking "man how short are that dude's arms?" He must have someone tie his laces for him.
I'm ashamed to admit my first thought was the same. When he's got his arms up while seated on a bench in the weight rack. Looking in shape but not possessing the arm length of a 6' man.

There was less doom scrolling on the BBMB during the decade of fail. I can't believe the level of hopelessness here.
In the Clappy/Beane era we have been in the playoffs six out of seven seasons. We are way closer to the top than the middle or the bottom.
I had season tickets from 2006 to 2018. We had a grand total of one playoff game in that time and it was on the road at Jacksonville. So zero home playoff games in twelve years.
With the atmosphere on this board you'd think we were perennial losers like the Jets or Bears.
These are the golden years folks.
It's true what you say, all of it.
The stadium has been disproportionately negative/impatient the last two or three seasons, for example. In 2021 the gameday weather was improbably bad each week, and a few of the results were improbably disappointing (PIT, IND, NE in 2021, and in 2023 the 2nd half against GB through OT against MIN in 2022). There is so much angst when the offense is out of sync. So much cynicism and amateurism lurking just below the surface. So many fans yelling "Let's go, Josh!" or "Come on, Josh!" right before the snap like absolute rookies.
I guess my point is that the Bills need to rediscover some joy. Despite some real success, there has been a lot of stress and strain and trauma the last few seasons. We really need to see the boys play for each other and do so with some youthful effing joy. Maybe there is some favorable addition by subtraction math on this particular point. Maybe we'll get to see the QB free to read the field purely. No personalities involved (unless they're positive/constructive).

We still need a deep threat though otherwise opposing defenses will continue to just press us and the safeties will move in towards the line of scrimmage and shorten the field.
But were defenses continually pressing the Bills and compressing their coverages? From what I recall, and what I've seen from analysts and team sources, opposing defenses mostly relied on dropping their DBs (post-snap) into deeper shell coverages, banking on QB17's impatience/reluctance to continually take the underneath routes/checkdowns. Heck, recall Dallas' doomed plan to defend the Bills offense by exclusively fielding light nickel and dime packages.
Allen was definitely blitzed in 2023, and there were definitely some coordinated zero-coverages, but overall the defenses who best frustrated Allen and Co utilized LOS disruption but with deeper coverage drops designed to capitalize on QB17's tendency to look downfield. The Jets are the best example for this. They mostly utilized deep safety coverages post-snap, daring Allen to take the checkdowns and underneath stuff, but also trying to speed him up with their pass rush. Meanwhile they entrusted Williams and Moseley to clamp down on their RB/TE responsibilities.

I know I am FAR more curious and optimistic about this 5th round pick than I should be.
But I just can’t help myself! Twitchy and bendy has not really been our thing lately.
Same boat: was excited about the player in the pre-draft process, and remain super excited about him moving forward. I don't care that he's 6'1"ish. He has incredibly long arms, huge hands, and on-field explosion and bend that you cannot teach. The dude is primed to see the field early as a DPR because he provides pass rush juice the Bills don't otherwise have on the roster. Really like the pick in the short and long term.

Yards and/or catches for Samuel (I suspect they intend to use him as a featured pre-snap motion weapon, like a Harty+Diggs ZxY amalgamation). They want to feature Samuel as moving eye candy/protein while also feeding Kincaid and Cook...
Shakir should be doing exactly what he did the back half of 2023, converting his moderate progression-based targets into explosive plays, and hopefully Coleman is sprinkled in on screens and slants and digs and 1:1 fades.

No way Brady participates without final edit approval baked in. That guy is NOT a "good sport" when it comes to humor/criticism. The tone and tenor will be celebratory of his accomplishments but a little critical of Brady's hyper-competitiveness. They probably won't even mention his scandals (except in passing absurdity) or pseudo-scientific/nonsense TB12 brand.

I doubt very many people who post on the board, feel as though they know better who the best offensive players to pick are, better than Brandon Beane.
I doubt very many people who post on the board, feel as though they know better who the best offensive players to pick are, better than Andy Reid/Chiefs.
I think a lot of people suspect the Chiefs know how do do things better than the Bills (based on Super Bowls won recently). I think some of these people are concerned that the Chiefs with Worthy will have better results that the Bills with Coleman. If they stopped to think about it, I suppose that if the Chiefs picked Coleman and the Bills picked Worthy, they would have the exact same concerns.
As fan who thinks there is a .000001 percent chance the NFL is scripted, I am sad going into the season afraid that the Bills are going to lose in the scripted playoffs on a Mahomes to Worthy pass. Mocking the Bills is a pretty joyful thing for a lot of NFL fans (sometimes even Bills fans, because if you don't laugh you have to cry)I wish you were right. Would be a better world. But I fear "very many people...feel as though they know better" than whomever disagrees with them. In general. This board is better than most forums, to be clear.
I think fans generally wanted a speedy deep threat WR (because we don't really have that threat on the roster), and would have LOVED if we traded with KC and they took Coleman...and ultimately we took Worthy. Was even getting to the point where Worthy was the guy I wanted the Bills to draft above all others, and thought he'd be gone by 28. (Conversely, I definitely also shared some posts here the past few months proclaiming my counterintuitive optimism for Keon Coleman's prospects, given his combine gauntlet and best-in-class hands. Earlier in the winter, I was definitely concerned with Coleman's contested catch rate, lumping him in with the likes of Q Johnson and N'Keal Harry. It's been a journey.)
3 hours ago, BigDingus said:Separation has been his biggest red flag, but there are routes where he's been very successful.
He's probably not going to be someone you have running go routes, but he's been touted as a "big slot" guy. Every year, it seems like someone is the new "slot guy" for us, whether it be Kincaid last year, or Shakir before that.
The video I grabbed this graphic from reviewed the last 32 players that finished in the 35% or under percentile in terms of separation in college, and only 5 players were "hits" or close to it.
Those players were:
1. Amon-Ra St. Brown
2. Cooper Kupp
3. Juju Smith-Schuster
4. Tyler Boyd
5. Rashee Rice
He's in the 20th percentile for man coverage, 19th against press. However, he's at 80% against zone, so that's one major plus in bag already.
Is the color-coding on these route graphics inconsistent? Slant and Screen routes, for example, are mis-colored on both infographics, according to their own internal logic.

It honestly all comes down to training
The training for the 40-yard dash has came down to an exact science... And you'll get more out of it with the most preparation
TO is a notorious workout warrior who has never stopped training... It makes sense he can run off 4.44 forty even at his age but when he was coming out of college the science wasn't down to a T yet
I'm nowhere near the athlete I was when I was 21 years old.. but I can still go to a training facility with 20-year-old athletes and clock 20 miles an hour with a 4.48 .. now I'm not Terrell Owens age but I'm not 21
But I'm not the same guy I was when I was 20 it's just I never stopped training and running
Stay right where you are. McBeane's scouts are on their way. Don't panic. This is the big break you've been working for all these years.

I think Hyde is going to retire. I think they are comfortable with Bishop and Edwards starting while Rapp plays as the primary backup and situationally. Hamlin and Cam Lewis are depth ST players.That’s a solid 5 deep group at safety I just doubt they are going to bring in Hyde and yoyo him on snaps.
Sounds to me like the Bills (and probably NFL teams in general) are waiting on Hyde's decision to either seek another NFL contract or hang 'em up for good. Beane said all but the retirement part out loud recently. He said the Bills do not yet know/are waiting to hear what Hyde has decided. WHAT Hyde is deciding on exactly, I guess, could be whether to agree to whatever modest contract number the Bills have proposed, if they've even gotten that far with his agent, versus continuing to seek more money and/or term elsewhere...but I strongly suspect it's more existential than that at this stage. My read is, like you @billsfan89, that Hyde is considering retirement...and also that the Bills would 100% welcome him back at a modest number for one more run if he decides to suit it up again in 2024. Kind of a no brainer for the team, but all contingent on the player.

That’s nuts. I didn’t know TO ran a 4.65. I always saw his 40 listed at 4.45. I guess he ran that in the nfl or after he retired. Crazy
Edit: I'll leave my initial question intact below so you can all laugh at me. Turns out Coleman only participated in positional drills at his pro day. Guess it isn't some grand conspiracy.
"Who has Coleman's faster pro day 40 time? For some reason I can't find it. Big tech colluding to keep us Bills fans divided over reductive data points."

Josh's new little brother. We both keyed on that same quote, of course, but that whole stretch of the interview is REALLY refreshing to hear from a fairly highly drafted NFL WR. His vision for QB<>WR chemistry is so pure, so idyllic. Hope Josh is willing to grind with him on that film stuff. Would love it if all the targets and the QBs had an easier time coming together as a tribe in 2024. Allen has a clearer path to leadership this season. I hope he really goes for it.

Rd 5, Pick 168: Edge Javon Solomon, Troy
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
Not replace Groot. Groot slides inside then.
Epenesa, Groot, Solomon, and Miller on OBVIOUS passing downs LFG (sub out one of them for Oliver probably ofc)
Exactly. Groot can really succeed inside in a NASCAR package with Oliver beside him and 2 of Epenesa, Miller, and Solomon on the EDGE.
