    That is exactly my thoughts... or they are gonna go out and get a corner whether its Douglas or Asante Samuel... or they are anticipating that there will be cuts that they will pick someone off waivers that is better...  but to me it certainly is some indication that White and Max wont be long term...  just my own tea leaves misguided or not my initial reaction... 

    Douglas to Miami

    Imagine--if you can--a world in which we won the offseason 

     

    🤔

    Man... I pine for those 8 win seasons... You must, too, brother...

    I believe I was answering someone regarding our defense being soft which it has been the whole time since he has been here.  I was not responding about a stupid pre season game

    Rest in peace, is it half of TBD or the 2025 Buffalo Bills?

    I screamed for years to get rid of Frazier for that rush 4 only crap.....only to see it remain. Welp they brought in some fresh D minds, so we'll see.

    I would submit if problems persist, half the board will be using pitchfork and torch emojis. Drafting what looks to be an oft hurt Erkel with the 1st pick may not help matters.

    It doesn’t matter who the DC is.  It is McDermott’s D and it can only get you so far.

    Remember the Run ‘n Shoot Offense?

    Need 4 WR to pull it off.  They didn't need a TE except short yardage.  Kelly ran it in the USFL.

    Mouse Davis was the OC for the Gamblers

    New McD comments about Coleman

    Moulds could beat a jam, and could separate.  Not to mention, he returned kicks and looked athletic doing so.  

    Not in his first couple years and I am not comparing him to Moulds.  I personally didn’t like the pick of Coleman

    A young player, both in actual age and playing experience, has to learn and improve.  The coach points that out.

     

    in other breaking news water is wet.

    See Eric Moulds.  I believe he didn’t do much in his first couple years.  I’m not saying he is Moulds but sometimes receivers take a little time to develop at the pro level.  I hope he develops but there are no guarantees.

    Defensive Tackle: Is it the Players or the System?

    Seems like it’s been a long time since the Bills had a difference-maker at DT. Not for a lack of trying, though—the Bills have drafted guys (not many) and brought a bunch in as free agents over the years, but almost entirely without substantial success.

     

    Oliver had a really good year in 2023, but that’s about it. DaQuon was looking pretty good that year too until the injury. Other than those two performances, the best we’ve had is really just average, with most performances ranking below average.

     

    We’ve brought guys in with varied backgrounds and skill sets, only to watch most of them disappoint or perform below expectations. Going back to 2020 that list includes guys like:

     

    Brandin Bryant

    Star Lotulelei

    Vernon Butler

    Poona Ford

    Tim Settle

    Austin Johnson

    Jordan Phillips

    Dewayne Carter

    Linval Joseph

     

    Granted, almost none of these guys were known to be, or were expected to develop into, difference-makers. I mean, for the most part we’ve gotten what we paid for—average, at best, though you could argue it’s even less than that. Then you look at what Poona and Settle did after leaving the Bills and having impact years, it starts to make you wonder…

     

    Is it the Bills defensive system more than the players? Is this a system that just doesn’t bring out the best in this position? If we drafted or brought in a true blue chipper at DT, would he just also underperform or disappoint?

     

    Or is it really just that we have underinvested in the position and it’s purely the lack of high-end talent that is the limitation?

    Poona Ford had a pretty good year with San Diego this year.

    Shaun Dolac Combine snub

    For sure but what does Khalil Mack have to do with this? 

     

    My point was dolac was first team All-American and did not get invited to the combine 

     

    Mack was a top five pick

    My point is that he is that he should be more deserving for his accomplishments.  It has nothing to do with Mack.

    West Seneca East graduate and first team AP all American shaun Dolac has another uphill battle to the league 

     

    Being snubbed from every major All-Star game and the NFL combine 

     

    The latest talented Buffalo bulls linebacker will have to wow at the pro Day to catch some more eyes 

     

    I have a sixth round grade on him and expect him to go undrafted at this point but priority UDFA and he will get his chance to stick in the league 

     

     

     

     

    At this point I will not be surprised if he ends up signing with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent and reunites with Buffalo Joe 

     

    A local kid to first team All-American to Buffalo Bills linebacker sounds like a movie

     

     

     

     

    Khalil Mack made second teal All-American.  This kid is a tackling machine.
