Da webster guy

This is year 3, the Go For It year for Beaner, our QB doesn't take up $30M off our cap yet and we have seen what that does to teams like Seattle, GB, Detroit etc. It can impair your ability to get free agents and keep your studs. With that in mind, I think we may see a little more tendency to draft for need than pure BPA simply because there are only a few spots a rookie can help us win games this season. Our entire offense is returning plus a great new receiver who is worth 100 targets. Last year our offense looked (roughly) like this: 500 throws by josh, who also ran 100 times, and we handed off about 350 times, Motor getting 150 of those carries. He didn't play the full season, so likely Daboll is looking at getting the kid 200 handoffs this year. He has to. No RB in the world with over 150 carries last year had a better yard per carry than Singletary. Not Derrick Henry, Saquon, McCaffrey, Dalvin Cook--nobody. That leaves room for a 100-125 carry RB2, which will be a big piece of our puzzle this year. The guy will be roughly 10% of our offense, a perfect rookie role and the only way I see a new kid helping us win on offense. There are longshots at RT, maybe TE2, but I think Beaner will be going RB for the 1st offensive draft pick for this reason. We need a sharp kid who can protect and run hard, be ready to go on opening day. Aaaaaand thats where you look to Astro for answers.

I used to agree with you but look at what Derrick Henry, Dalvin Cook and Jacobs for the Raiders did for their teams this year, they got them wins, helped them more than the average RB's did around the league. If we are making a run now we need to look to guys that can play as rookies. Not many spots available but RB2 and edge from what I see. Who knows maybe Wade is the answer, he's a freak athlete.

It WAS Dante Fowler for me until yesterday. If we offered Shaq 9M we could have cut Trent and met Dante's 16m that Atlanta just paid him. Elite DE last year, would have made this pass rush so freakin nasty. The guy is 270lbs but speed like a linebacker. Won them 2 games last year.

I'm at the point where if McD wants someone, then I do too, but I'm a believer in drafting RB's not paying a lot for them. Singletary was under used last year, and now we have Diggs as well to demand another 70-100 targets. Gordon is a bell cow back, wherever he goes he's going to be the RB1. Dont see the fit for us, hope we draft a rookie and run with him for RB2. Also i like Senorise Perry he might surprise everyone in camp and win the 2 spot.

It wasnt me, I agree with you. Love the flexibility now, although since then Tremaine seems to have gained some skill in shedding blocks on inside runs. If McD wants him, I want him.

Diggs is such a baller. Game changing difference maker for sure. My favorite non Bill to watch. Similar numbers to Smoke last year but did a ton to carry that offense with Theilen hurt basically all year. Beane is doing what he says, fill your roster with good starters and draft bpa baby. The guy has balls. 5th and 6th rd picks are just Wyatt teller freebies. Wonder if they talked to Houston about the Nuk too?

The Patriots say the 3 C's are Crying to the refs, Collusion and Covert Cameras.

Yes I see. We had 22nd pick 2 years ago, moved up to 16 for Tremaine and only had to give up 65th overall. I was thinking a few of these WR's might go higher. I remember being shocked at the Mike Williams, Corey Davis, John Ross picks all ahead of us a few years back. WR's are strange cats. They're high risk prospects that can look so dominant in college and so average in the pros.

And returning every skill player on offense plus coaches also factors in.

We certainly seem to be a trade up team lately. Josh, Tremaine, Cody and Knox all cost us multiple picks. In order to move up far enough to get any receiver we wanted it would cost us a 1st next year. Such a move would be considered madness with the WR depth, although it looks like there's only going to be room to add one starter on offense with everyone returning (including coaches) so maybe Beaner has a specific guy in mind for that and he's willing to bet the farm on it.

Yup, you know they planned this signing and also will be grabbing a tackle prospect late. Aside from Ty and Morse's early concush, we had pretty good durabiliy upfront. Hard to believe we have a FULL returning Oline with the same starting QB, RB, TE and 2 WR's plus HC, OC, qb coach and receivers coach. Hasn't happened in decades.

Reminded me of Norm from Cheers and Mike Myers doing their Da' Bears skit about how Ditka can beat anybody in anything: "What about Ditka vs Godzilla, who wins dat one?" Norm thinks about it for a second.... "Godzilla... but it's CLOSE "

Hey I went to some of those UB games it was pretty nippy some days.

sounds like a good Cleveland guy or maybe a Cowboy

Hard to believe the tag is up to 18m for receivers. Just a few years ago Whaley dumped Robert Woods because he wanted 7m. He got it elsewhere and knocked out over 3,000 yards in three seasons. In case you forgot he was the guy that went 13 for 172 yds in week 13 and killed my fantasy hopes. im almost over that though.....

Why Matt Barkley of course. He's white so they'll like that an ex Bill But seriously I think Brissett has to be in the convo, his game has grown nicely since he left there.

Tyree Jackson has the perfect measurables to be a standout TE. Speed, strength, big hands/wingspan, knows routes and how to find soft spots in zones, great attitude. Knox only caught like 2 dozen passes in his life and zero TD's when we drafted him, convert Tyree and he can even play 3rd string qb to come in for sneaks.

I share this same view about them being in every game except Philly. The wins and the playoffs were a huge step, but most important for me is that general feel of how we stack up against the other 31 teams, are we bringing it each week and competing at a high level. The ball will bounce the wrong way sometimes, and every NFL team had multiple losses last year, but when you have the building blocks in place and CONSISTENCY in your coaching staff for a bunch of years, the ball tends to bounce a little more in our direction now.

i get frustrated when that kickoff play gets brought up in interviews like this. All the interesting and great things that happened this past season, and they have to ask about some technicality during the Houston game that could have given us the game that we ultimately didn't deserve to win. I'm glad they reversed the call, everyone knew the player was giving himself up. The intent was clear. Move on. This was a better interview for McD with some lighter content. He's normally a pretty robotic interview. Great guy.

Third season, same OC and HC is huge. All the offseason stuff is great but nothing develops young players better than actual snaps and you could see Josh get better as the season went on. Only got smoked by Philly, we were in the other 4 losses til the end Balt, NE and CLE. Very excited for next season and i'll remind everyone who keeps saying how tough our schedule looks, we have no idea how each team is going to be next year. Last offseason teams like the Rams, Dallas, Cleveland, Pitt seemed poised to be solid post season teams and none even sniffed the playoffs. Is it time for training camp yet?

Ed Oliver strip sack on Dak Josh bomb to Brown vs NE, best throw of his career Haus money hitting the 47 yard kick at the end of Houston regulation to send it into OT. Same distance as Norwood kick and the most important kick for the Bills in 20 years.

I agree. Short deals are always in play for teams with big cap space. I'll bet 90% of the replies here are from people that have never seen him play, the guy is a weapon and an elite receiving back. He only has 5 years of work and was a 1st team all pro for Gods sake. Two years ago he caught 5 passes and in 2016 he caught 80 and had 1200+ on the ground. Get a pick or two from the Cards and DJ can do what Shady did for us in his later years but less wear n tear, as the key to this cat is keeping him healthy. 8-10 carries a game 3-5 catches, knows how to block. I hope we do it.

Maybe they switched Jerseys after, she got the Mayfield and he got her Chubb jersey with a "Y" added at the end in masking tape.

If a RB cracks the 5 yard per carry average for the season, that's elite in my book. Better than McCaffrey, Saquon, Ingram, Jacobs, Kamara etc. The kid has great hands too. Gets 1st downs, moves the chains, scores, has elite contact balance, vision and elusiveness. One of the best playmakers in the NFL.

I watched it again. Lot of frustrating plays, but overall we were evenly matched on offense, our D was much better than theirs but we got pinched on a few big gains that killed us. If we face them again we will exact revenge.
