  1. Some tough cuts will need to be made for sure. I know that McDermott is big on ST and has his guys he wants to keep. I think ST are important too. But... rules changes have reduced the importance of ST players. Tyler Bass makes KO team less important because of touchbacks. We don’t punt much, and our new punter is a hang time/ no return kind of kicker. We don’t need just special teams guys like Taiwan, Matakevich, etc.

    He's Jaquan Johnson-like and Wildgoose reminded me of Dane Jackson.    They seem to have a type in their late round safeties and CB's.

     

    These 3 picks are why I liked trading back.     I often had Wildgoose as my round 6 guy.    I like Stevenson in round 6 and Hamlin is decent value as well and fills a need.        

    What are you, Goodol’Bills now?

  3. I know at least four Canes fans that know their football and aren’t homers, including Badol here who pretty much hates everyone (ha), and all four of them really like Rousseau. A lot.
     

    You get a completely different POV of a player when you watch full games versus highlights or draft profiles. He seems like a player, a gamer, and a great kid. 
     

    15.5 sacks is insane considering the snaps he got the first third of the season. 
     

    Perhaps most importantly, fans and pundits seem to disparage “coverage sacks” as somewhat lesser than blow past your man stats. And yet there are maybe 5-6 times a season when a speed rusher 12 sack guy just blows by his man and gets a sack. There are 5-6 times a game when a QB playing against the Bills eludes some tepid pressure, steps away and scrambles for a first or can still throw a pass for a first. A guy like Rousseau with his Gumby arms and football instincts may be exactly what we need from that position.

    No thanks. Give Knox one more year, and if it doesn't work, start again from scratch at TE next year 

    That was my feeling. Which was made it even worse by the fact that the other guys are being quoted off pro day times this year not combine numbers so basically any WR not running a 4.3 is slow. We'll never know how quick this years draft class is, but it's certainly slower than the numbers suggest 

    There is easily up to a .2 difference in football speed and game speed and cut speed on 40 times. A 4.5 guy with those types of speeds can be as fast or faster than a 4.3 guy in shorts. Stevenson explodes on his field tape. He’s extremely fast.

    He retired the first time in 2008 before coming back to play for the Vikings but he was talking about it before that.

    Understood. Thanks for link and reminder. Although that article was before the draft saying Favre was coming back to play, and wanted to continue playing as long as he was healthy. And was coming off a great year of 4000+ yards and 30+ TDs.

    It isn't just that. The Packers haven't put a good team around him in years. Their first 3 draft picks were a total waste. They never draft a receiver high. He is sick of carrying the team. And if the latest report is true they lied to him that he would be traded. He has a legitimate gripe with how the organization has treated him.

    Adams is arguably the best WR in the game. They have a great RB and a great line. Tonyans a good TE and had 11 TDs. He won MVP and they were a TD away from the Super Bowl. He's a dick.

    Hadn't Farve flirted with the idea if retirement at that point?

    Didn't he play three full years for the Pack before Rodgers took over?

  7. I like the attitude but it’s impossible to gauge any player’s inner drive until they are there in the NFL having to put in the time, listen to coaches, do film study, deal with losing, etc. He’s a breath of fresh air. I hope he does well.
     

    Being as laid back as he is AND simultaneously wanting to be the best ever is a dichotomy tough to pull off. Will be interesting to watch.

    Gary McDermott wore 32 OJ’s rookie year.

    IIRC McDermott played for the Bills in 1968 and wore 32 then and in preseason in 69, OJ’s rookie year. Hence the SI cover. But was released at the end of preseason and OJ had 32 by his first game. McDermott then played for another team in 69. 

  9. Good signing. Beane definitely likes the vet OL versus draft route, Cody Ford notwithstanding. Also agree they may work him at C in camp. 

     

    Bad jokes aside, if BillsMafia can somehow make him work with some kind clap on, clap off thing, or "Alexa, lamp on," we could really have something.

  10. There was a great story going around on Twitter when Rick was interviewing Wayne Gretzky and in the middle of it Gretzky stopped to ask Azar for his autograph. For Wayne’s mom who loved Rick and watched him every night from their home in Ontario. 
     

    RIP Rick

  11. Ertz is still available. The Bills probably still very much want him. The Eagles price will go down. Not sure how much Bills price will go up if at all. It’s just a game of chicken and Beane is better at this than Roseman. Doesn’t mean Bills will get Ertz for sure but they still very much want a vet TE and Ertz is very likely to be on another team. 
     

    Oh, and Engram stinks.

  12. This interview should be required viewing. You watch a lot of these guys on other teams and see how they play but usually know relatively little about them. What a tremendous guy Emmanuel Sanders comes across as. He's a perfect fit and now makes all the sense in the world why Beane was after him. Just a great interview with a guy who knows what it's all about. Terrific personality and a winner.

    Just aside and to let some know that he really was decent, in 93-94 over 32 games Big Pete caught 117 passes for 1,037 yards and 9 TDs.

     

    I could be wrong, but I believe it is the most successful two years of receiving by a Bills' TE in their 60 plus year history.

     

    I honestly could live with 59 receptions, for 518 yards and 5 tds from a single TE next year, let alone that as a position I believe they caught around 40 balls this year (albeit 8 TDs).

     

     

    Yeah that’s pretty decent. But not really good.

    My first thought was that this should make @Kelly the Dog very happy.........he finds Barkley about as useful as I do Star Loturdlelei.

    Mitch Frerotte was better than Barkley.
     

    Great guy. Great teammate. Great in QB room and on sideline. Smart. Lousy player.

    Funny how a lot of posters here said he sucked in Chicago and now that he is in Buffalo he's a great addition.  LOL.

    Totally different situation. Hell no as starter. Hell yes as backup.
