    All-22 Grades for Bills/Titans (The Athletic)

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Idk. Buscaglia just seems like he’s trying outsmart everyone and tell anyone who’s listening that he knows something that they don’t. Every week. Last season it was the their dissatisfaction with and demise of Mitch Morse… two years ago it was how much they loved Dugger and were going to get a “big nickel” to be a key cog in the defense.

     

    I just take his takes with a few grains of salt.

    Matthew Fairburn off to cover the Pats (update - he’s back)

    in The Stadium Wall

    Idk. He wasn’t bad. And Buscaglia isn’t terrible either. But their pods were so dry. 
     

    Personally I would take:

     

    Joe Marino @ Locked on Bills

    Greg Tompsett & the Cover 1 Team

    Capaccio @ WGR

    Parino & Talbot
    The Rockpile Report Guys

    Nate Geary

    Bruce Nolan

     

    all above Fairburn Or Buscaglia for that matter. And with those above each producing about 14-16 hours of weekly listening content each week, aside from what any of them write. I just don’t really have time for them. 
     

    * Again, not saying Fairburn or Buscaglia are terrible by any means but we have a wealth of talent in Bills coverage. 

    Defensive front 7 roster spots

    I know people think it’s a lot, but they like to keep more linemen in the roster because they rotate.

     

    they keep more linebackers on the roster for special teams.

     

    they keep less DB’s because they have more on the practice squad (Lewis, Wildgoose, Griffith, Thomas), and the guys they do have rostered play 85%-100% of the snaps each game. 

    Which pass option sees smaller numbers in 2021?

    Obviously 2020 was a historic offensive season for the Bills. As Allen continues to develop and surrounded by as many, if not more options than last year, it’s more likely he spreads the ball around. 
     

    I believe they’ve talked about involving the running backs more in the pass game.

     

    If they get Ertz that’s another option in the pass game. 
     

    Add in a guy like Hodgins making the team if they decide to keep an extra receiver? 

    Plus swapping an injured Brown out for Sanders?
     

    Allen will basically have the following targets to choose from (2020 reception #’s in parenthesis)

    Diggs (127)

    Beasley (82)

    Sanders (61 w/ New Orleans)

    Singletary (38)

    Davis (35)

    Brown (33) OUT

    McKenzie (30)

    Knox (24) 

    Moss (14)

    Kroft (12)

    Smith (4)

    Roberts (4)

    Gilliam (2) 

    Kumerow/Yeldon/Neal/Allen (1 each)

     

     

    So... who sees a drop in their numbers from 2020? 

    What's your top 4 pass rush package?

    Group1:

    Epenesa-Oliver-Rousseau-Hughes

     

    Group2:

    Obada-Butler-Basham-Addison

     

    i believe they’ll keep at least 5DE’s (Hughes, Addison, Epenesa, Rousseau, & Basham) and 4DT’s. Basham & Rousseau can slide inside on occasion, Oliver and Butler are the 3T’s while Star and Phillips are the 1T’s with Butler being able to do some 1T as well. Obada will be a borderline 53-man roster player

    I’m not personally set either way. I think either, if done right, could be really cool. But both if done incorrectly, could really have a bad affect in the area as sell


    Overall my general belief is that the Bills with help from the State & County  will renovate the current system. They should take a look at what the Chiefs and Packers have done in particular. Put the money into a well thought out renovation, while keeping its character and stay in Orchard Park. 
     

    The amount of money it would cost to build a new stadium would involve...

     

    1) buying current property and demolishing and setting up for said stadium. 

    2) Adding some type of new thruway and/or metro to and from the city to help alleviate traffic (it was already a cluster from a 20K Sabres game, imagine a 60K-80K football game in A November/December snow storm.

     

    3) New stadium, new mentality. It will be about corporate boxes and suites, PSL’s, along with a general massive raise in ticket prices. 
     

    4) old stadium and property becomes what? A Bills hall of fame? Or does it just die there slowly... 

     


    Im sure there’s more I haven’t listed. I just don’t believe it’s fiscally responsible for the team, state, county, tax payers, or ticket holders (which I am not), to build a new stadium downtown.

    My Draft Thoughts

    I’m thinking they move back and draft for depth on the roster. Just read that Addison restructure makes him a FA next season. Unless a Surtain/Collins/Horn drops to 30, I want the Bills to trade back. No 1st rd RB please

    Personally I think the opposite. I think they’re using free agency to cover holes, they’ll move up in the draft to get the guys they really like. Seems to be Beane’s MO .

    But I do agree no RB in round 1 please.

    He's going Top 15. I'd love him but I don't think Beane will move up that far when we already don't have a 4th. It would probably take a 3rd and a day 2 pick in 2022 which may be too much.

     

    I can see a guy like Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah at 30 if we stay and draft D.  He's quick, physical and will be converted to a hybrid S/LB when we play 5 DB's (4-2-5) He can cover TE's, which we will need, especially against NE.  He's little smaller than we'd like on D, but I think he could be affective and eventually take over for Hyde or Poyer in a few years.

    I think this draft is really unpredictable. Rousseau could go 15 or 45. Same with guys like Phillips, Z.Collins, etc. This year is a total crapshoot.

    Bills sign Emmanuel Sanders

    I just don’t see how he’s not perfect fit. He’s a less injury prone John Brown. Has history with Beasley. And a top-4 group of Diggs, Beasley Sanders & Davis is REALLY nice. Plus they’ll also bring up Hodgins who adds a completely different element, as well as possibly another tight end (Ertz), this offense could be just as good in 2021.

    Bills are a heavy 11 personnel offence though.

     

    You add Ertz and you have to go 12 personnel if you want ertz and knox on the field at the same time which really doesn't fit the bills offensive identity. 

    I think it opens up the ability to be more multiple. With the  

    Erhardt-Perkins offense Daboll runs, they can do a lot of the same concepts from multiple formations. Especially when you have two tight ends like Ertz & Knox, plus receivers like Beasley/Diggs/Davis. 
     

    More 12 personnel would also likely make it easier to run more gap/man blocking than we were in 2020 with the amount of shot gun/empty back field/11 personnel we ran. 
     

    I also believe if they got Ertz they would have an agreement lined up to do something with his contract to make 2021 an easier cap hit to swallow
