  1. I'd like to think of it more as his "Xanadu". A Bills run game right now would be idyllic.
  2. While that would be great, I would rather Josh gets them up early (3TDs) and they work on the run game some (another 1 or 2 rushing).
  3. I agree with your Austin perception. But I don't on the Hodgins take. Austin has made $40M in his career and Hodgins $1.1M. Hodgins will stay on the PS and if anyone picks him up, he will move. If not, he has a chance to get to WR6 next season with the Bills. Why would he just quit?
  4. You got way too much going on here. 1st, Hyde is under contract next year and even if the Bills cut him, he has a lot of dead money ($7M) due to restructure. 2nd, Jackson is an RFA and if the Bills want to keep him, they have to put at least a 2nd Round tender. That's around $4.3M. 3rd, Poyer may not get a new contract due to the entire teams "positional spending" being too much. If J Johnson is kept, he will cost more than his 6th round rookie contract. But all that is for Beane to decide. My point is Tre goes back to CB. If he can't fill that role, then it's about whether or not he stays on the team. If his knee won't let him play CB, there is no guarantee he could play FS. We will have to wait and see. Let me just add that Tre has a lot of dead money still on his contract due to restructuring. It's a "risk lesson" to all of us who think these moves come free. Just like I pointed out about Hyde.
  5. I for one said Hamlin is the guy to replace Hyde, not Johnson. Can Johnson be counted on to fill Poyer's role, I don't know for sure. Long term Johnson is an UFA next March and Hamlin has 2 more years in Buffalo. It now looks like the earliest we see Tre is for the Green Bay game or the next week against the Jets. I'm about 100% sure he will return to his CB position. Then we all see how he is playing.
  6. My dad would work overtime on a Saturday, and it would pay for us to go to 2 games, parking and some concession stand food and drinks. Endzone seats, of course.
  7. Has anyone heard if Crowder is officially going on IR?
  8. One thing about Roberson's highlights, he is catching a lot of ball at the high point. 6'1" 190lbs 4.46-40 time. Looks like he should put on a few pounds.
  9. McDermott just said in his presser today that Stevenson is not close to returning.
  10. Enjoy your retirement Cole, I know I am. Thanks for you service to the Bills.
  11. There is no "addressing" the run game by getting new OL or RBs this season. They need to scheme and practice to improve with what they got. It's a long season and they just need to do the best they can. The starting OL has been hampered with injuries and IF they can stay together for a while I still refuse to believe they are incapable of run blocking. They got Kromer and it's not rocket science. This is the week to give it a try.
  12. I too wondered why Knox was the only one signed this summer. I figured he would have to wait with the rest for next March. The more I look at Knox's contract and the predicament the Bills were in concerning TE there is some hope it won't be that bad. IF Knox turns it up and becomes a great TE and is used a lot then it's not bad. IF on the other hand they need to dump/trade him in 2024/2025 it's not that bad. Knox has a manageable $6.4M cap hit in 2023. So, once again, it's all about where the cap will be in 2024/2025.
  13. I guess it stems from Tre's injury. He evidently will be running like Chester from Gunsmoke.
  14. Actually, after the Cardinals had to pay out his guaranteed money it's probably about a wash. If they signed him to the 53 he would have no dead cap and they would pay him in essence week to week. Your Austin comment is probably true, but I guess it would depend on whether the Bills looked at him back in 2019 and what Beane and his boys thought of him.
  15. No way that the coaches have even considered this. He's an All-Pro CB and that's where he stays. If, and that's a big if, his game diminishes because of injuries then a Plan B would be needed. I'd rather trade Tre than have him play S for $16M a year.
  16. Agree. I would add that the 2 Steelers games I watched (Bengals and Browns) the Pittsburg OL was not very good. That's a tough position to put a rookie QB in.
  17. He is one awesome football player.
  18. LOL that Jets game was nuts. Namath had a bunch of INTs, and nobody could throw the ball. That is so funny we both went to the same games.
  19. I went with my dad to the NY Jets and Chicago Bears games that year. I remember my dad had that card and us deciding on what games to go to. Thanks for the memory.
  20. I've tried to find that answer and could not find anything specific. I also looked to see if the rule changes if a player is assigned to the 53 full time and then returns to the PS. Still nothing. What I do keep reading is a player can only be called to a team's main roster up 3 times for the season, so I would say no. I guess I would speculate that if another team signs a player who formerly was on another practice squad, it would reset for the new team. I know, no real help, but I tried. LOL.
  21. Wow, I was prepared to just post my thoughts without having a post to reference. Thanks for that. I refuse to believe the entire OL is incapable of becoming a capable run blocking group. Once again, I will repeat that I speculate that the new OC has spent the majority of time working the passing game. I also have commented that the Steeler game is a perfect opportunity to put together some sort of running plan. The OL won't become a capable run line without the effort being put forth.
  22. Well let's put it this way. The entire NFL knows what Tavon Austin is worth. He may get a call-up, but he is no one's full time WR. Stevenson may or may not end up being better but it's the youth and potential that would be the question. Even though he has been on IR he has had time to delve into the playbook and take a lot of mental snaps. When the time comes Austin still can be on the PS and Stevenson can take a slot on the 53 and show if he can stay there. Those 3 losses result in an 11-point combined differential.
  23. Next March is going to be brutal on Beane. So many decisions. Jordan Poyer is a beast!
  24. I think he (or Hodgins) just get a call-up. The Bills don't have to fill the 53rd roster slot. Probably depends on how Kumerow is recovering.
  25. I can agree he is worth a 2nd round especially if the plan is that Benford moves to S. Hate to see Poyer go but that is probably going to happen. J Johnson is an UFA, and I don't know what will happen with him. The 2023 projections are: Original Round - $2.6M 2nd Round - $4.3M 1st Round - $6M
