    Bills trading Daryll Johnson to the Panthers for 6th rd pick

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I don’t understand the dead money argument when it comes to Addison. So what? The Bills are going to be spending X amount of dollars (basically) with or without him. Sure, in theory you don’t want to pay a guy not to be here. But in the real world if your championship caliber team is better in the short or long term keeping Bam and cutting Addison there is no question what to do.

    Alphas Final Roster Stab (after PS game 3)

    I don’t think it’s insignificant that our new punter is going to get far more fair catches, ob punts and downed inside the 10 than our last guy, making the ST gunner less important. And we don’t punt much, maybe even less this year, making gunner slightly less important. Our PK in his second season has a tremendous leg and kicking the ball to touchback on regular basis, making gunner slightly less important.

    St. Louis Rams Relocation Legal Article - Could Impact the Bills

    If Rogers does not die unexpectedly resulting in Toronot bid getting split, Jon Bon Jovi refusing to give up controlling postion while being woefully undercapitalized to make competitive bid(due to NFL % ownership rules for controlling party) resulting in a limit for their bid that Pegula easily topped.......... 

     

    You could very well be talking about Bills about to become the Toronto Bills and opening new stadium in Toronto for 2021 after exercising the 28 million lease buy this past off season.

    That was Jon Bon Jovi/Rogers Toronto group plans. Jon Bon Jovi was scouting stadium locations in Toronot in midst of submitting bid for Bills.

    The BonJovi thing was a farce. No one was going to give him what he wanted. The bid for the team was not even going to go to highest bidder unless it was 100% certain they were staying in Buffalo (and not just you have my word). Mary Wilson was not even going to entertain offers outside of Buffalo and the league didn’t want it. It was fixed for the Bills to stay.

    Goodell and J Jones both wanted Bills to consider Toronto, and loved JB Jovi, before surprisingly Pegula swept in and bought the team. Jones was muttering babbling dumbfounded on interview when he found out.

     

    No one including Bills trust commissioned to sell the team were doing anything but selling to highest bidder.

     

     

    Nonsense. Pegula was always going to win. It never was in doubt. They may have wanted to boost up the asking price but there was zero chance the Bills were leaving. It was an inside job (partly because Terry had so much money). He actually paid $300-400m more than he had to to get the team which ingratiated him to fellow owners whose owns teams overnight were worth 2-400m more. No chance at all Bills were moving.

    I feel like his decisions might be ok, but he just doesnt have the physical ability to successfully execute on those decisions.

     

    I wonder how many of those INTs on 4th qtr end-of-game drives would have been TDs and wins if he had Josh's arm?

    That’s my point though. He believes he can make a lot of those throws but his arm can’t cash the checks his brain makes. But he seems to be the only one that doesn’t know it or see it. We all do. That’s bad decision making.

    Did McDermott give a timeline for McKenzie or for Phillips?  I didn't see that reported in his Presser thread, but I was kinda busy taking out the trash (so to speak)

    I think he said McKenzie was “between day-to-day and week-to-week.” And none of the other players injuries would keep them out substantial time.

    Kumerow and the WR Glut

    I have no idea who Tre Miller is so you may know something I don't.

     

    We had 12 WR, with the names in red presumed unavailable because known to be injured/not practicing before today:

    Diggs

    Sanders

    Beasley

    Davis

    McKenzie

    Kumerow

    Hodgins

    Powell
    Stevenson

    Gentry
    Williams

    Lenoir

     

    Now we have

    Diggs

    Sanders

    Beasley

    Davis

    McKenzie

    Kumerow

    Hodgins (may practice this week)

    Powell
    Stevenson

    Gentry

    Gafford

     

    My guess is in this game, we see some early Kumerow, then a lot of Powell and Gentry with a splash of Gafford towards the end.

    Thats ASSuming we predict McKenzie will be available for the opener, otherwise we may bubble-wrap Powell as the new return guy.

    I'm also wondering if we might see more (1,2) or (2,1) sets with either 2 TE or with Gilliam as fullback.

     

    We may also see Breida (5 KR for SF) or Kerrith Whyte returning some kicks (he did in college, and has 14 KR in the NFL).

     

    On nfl.com they list a Tre Walker (not Miller) as a WR on Bills. Don’t know anything about him. 
     

    Edit: They just had some old info. Back in May we released Walker when we signed Lenoir.

    Bring back Duke!

    Ha. They may have to. I put this in Kumerow thread but… 

     

    It’s funny, and sad, that the WR glut became a problem in one day. We had 10-11. We lost 5 in one day. McKenzie got hurt although we don’t know extent. Duke and Lance released. Cole and Gabriel sent home. We don’t want to play Diggs who just returned or Sanders. Hodgins and Stevenson are out. 
     

    That leaves Kumerow, Gentry, Brandon Powell and something named Tre Miller for Saturday? Who might I be forgetting?

    If we have to choose: McDermott or Daboll?

    Beane is only here because of McDermott. He doesn't make a single move without McDermott's authority. This is, was and always will be Sean's show.

    He may be here because of McD but he has risen meteorically. He and his team he's assembled pick the players. Sean is part of everything for sure, but McDermott was making mistake after mistake early on. McDermott is the guy behind Peterman and Barkley and likely Fromm. Not that he wasn't on board with Josh and part of the whole brain trust but Beane is the one that scouts and finds these guys. He's a genius with the cap and looking short, mid and long term. McDermott is a great motivator, and has BECOME a very good to great coach. This team is not where we are without Beane, too. I'm not sure McD even drafts Josh.

    And I know he was out of football last season.  I'm a fan of the guy.  A lot of us were thinking he'd need time to acclimate to the NFL and Boogie Basham might have more impact in the immediate future, but Rousseau has been a pleasant surprise.  None of that changes the fact that he's something of a one trick pony and depending on how many snaps he gets, opposing coaches will be motivated to try and take that one trick away.  Furthermore, I think Rousseau probably knows that and the Bills coaching staff knows it and they're probably all working to diversify his arsenal of moves.

    There are two types of one trick ponies as you say. But his length and size make him different than other rushers that may have one signature move. Not that Rousseau is Abdul Jabbar but you couldn’t stop the Sky hook no matter what you did because he was just taller and had longer arms than your guy. Again not saying he’s going to be a star or that coaches won’t be able to figure him out. But the physical superiority is tougher to stop than any moves or power or speed other edge guys have.

    Both McDermott and Daboll have got substantially better over three seasons. Almost the ascension of Josh. McDermott was not a good game day coach in his first and a lot of his second season. He was making Nathan Peterman decisions early. He’s far, far better now. As is Daboll. 
     

    Daboll and McDermott’s job became a lot different last year when they had their guy at QB and it was year 3-4 in the systems. Totally different job.
     

    Right now, with Dorsey in the wings, we can afford to lose Daboll more IMO. But Daboll has become an excellent play caller which is a tough job and cannot be taught. Dorsey has never really done it.
