Alex Lewis once took an Air Force cadet by the head and drove him into a brick wall repeatedly until he was unconscious.
But, respect the troops and all that.
It was a terrible situation. It was one of those drunken rages, and the guy he assaulted opened to be a cadet. Bug I think Beane and McDermott are willing to take chances on guys with this type of sitauation. It happened a long time ago. They just signed Duke Williams, and Dion Dawkins had so sort of testsorone rage arrest as well.
Anyways I was saying the Alex Lewis could be a guy available for trade this offseason, and he's played well when healthy. I think our front office will be open to being creative to improve the line....it doesn't just have to be through free agency and the draft.

If the Bills really like him they should wait.
I bet Kubiak becomes head coach after they get their Rooney interview in. Maybe they rehire Mike Shanahan? Then they can bring Rick Dennison back, then Kugler is available.

Faster than Jarvis Landry! ?

I'm hoping Joey Bosa or Melvin Ingram take Tom Tom's head off.

In terms of speed, ran the same forty as Anquan Boldin and Keenan Allen. Obviously it doesn't mean anything, but trying to give a comparative for people.

Guy showed some big time skills at Auburn and was a 5 star recruit guy. Got kicked out fo Auburn beating up some guys or something. But this I like. Interesting add to the 90 man roster.
actually I love this

Look at the Chargers....it's a scrap heap. Okung and Pouncey former high draft picks by other teams. Pouncey a cap casualty, and #15 overall. Okung was a top ten pick signed as a free agent but an all pro left tackle. Feeney a third rounder. Sam Tevi a 6th rounder. Schofield a former third rounder claimed off waivers.
Again, you just have to find the pieces that fit.

Well, the Colts did pretty much the opposite of what you're arguing.
They had many needs. They're defense is a work in progress. They could have used another pass rusher to go with Sheerd. They could have used another WR, like Ridley, considering that their WR corps consists of TY Hilton.
They also needed work on their Oline, even though they already had 2 1st round picks on it. Many would say something like "you can't waste all of your assets on the OLine".
But, they went with the "non-premium" position, taking a guard at no. 6. (Well, not just any guard). They compounded this by taking Braden Smith in the 2nd. They now have 3 1sts on their Oline, a 2nd, and a pretty damn good player in Glowinski.
Andrew Luck now looks like Andrew Luck again, in large part because he's given time to throw. And yesterday...pfft, on most of his passes he had enough time to cook lunch before throwing.
What they did yesterday was go against one of the best pass rushing duo's in the league, along with a D that hasn't given up a 100 yard rusher all year...and put them on their collective asses.
had they not made the investment in the OL, they aren't in the playoffs this year, much less dominating a defense like the Texans.
For all I know, Luck might not have made it through the year without an OL that can pass block so well.
Their plan most certainly worked for them.
The big thing though is that Quenton Nelson is an elite can't miss prospect. The guys going to be in the hall of fame if he stays healthy. What they did do is draft guys at non premium positions when the value was there. Ryan Kelly, #18 overall. Costanzo #22 overall. Glowinski was a former 4th rounder. They cut Austin Blythe, a former seventh rounder who is a really good starter for the Rams.
There is value for offensive line picks mid to late first round. Also, as with Blythe and Glowinski, it's just about finding the right guys. Using a top ten pick on guy guards, centers, right tackles, only makes sense if they are Nelson level players. And I can assure you there are no players like that in the 2019 draft.
Thats the difference. You can't reach on a non premium positions in the top ten unless they are elite can't miss prospects.

Another guy not playing is Alex Lewis of Baltimore. He's being replaced by James Hurst who is among some pretty good guaranteed money and Orlando Brown is at right tackle. They also have Bozeman. Lewis has been hurt quite a bit, but good when he is in there. He's got one year left on his rookie deal, I'd call the Ravens and see is he is available, as he doesn't really have a spot anymore. Could play either guard and could probably play center as well. Worth a late round pick for sure.
-
Maxx Williams is a nice fit as a tight end as he can play fullback as well. 86 Nick Boyle is actually very similar and also set to be a UFA. They both block well and are underrated recievers. Grabbing one of them and say Jesse James instantly fixes the tight end position.
My real offseason target is Forrest Lamp of the Chargers. He's healthy but inactive. I think they will be willing to move him for very little. The guy has big time potential as a guard, got hurt, and is now blocked. Perfect buy low in my opinion.
-
You need to find the right guys. Glowinski was signed off the scrap heap for peanuts and he's a former 4th rounder.

...Squealers are on a downward spiral since 2009 SB with the diva triplets ala Ben, Antonio and Bell adding to the intrigue.....Tomlin talks tough but has no control over this zoo.....
Agreed. I think Tomlin is one of the most overrated coaches. He's more of a cheerleader than anything. I'd like to see what he does when Big Ben retires.

Either way. If we are able to add a pass rushing DE in FA then we could go Offense all the way in the draft.
You still need a three technique. There are basically two who are going to be on the market, Sheldon Richardson and Grady Jarrett. Grady doesn't make it to free agency. I still think our top ten pick is a defensive tackle. That's where the talent and value is.

Who’s the back up going to be cause that dude rarely plays?
Williams started 16 games in 2017 which was his first full year as the starter, and he was second team all pro. He hurt his knee and missed the whole season this year. Then you draft guys in the fifth round and such to add guys to the room. You do not use your top ten pick on a right tackle. You still Conor McDermott under contract as well.

is that their base D?
Yes it's Romeo Crennel's defense. Obviously Clowney plays a lot of hand in the dirt defensive end in sub packages and such, it yeah he moves around a lot becuase he technically doesn't play a side. In reality he's an elite player who can really play anywhere.
27 minutes ago, whatdrought said:Clowney would be good, but he’s no Mack or Donald.
I think Clowney would explode if they let him just play defensive end in a 4-3. Then he could really play fast and not have to think. He would be unleashed imo.

doesn't Clowney play RDE mostly (Hughes' position)?
Clowney can do whatever, but he plays OLB in their 3-4 scheme.
1 hour ago, BillsFan1988 said:Clowney aint going nowhere they will franchise him. The Texans have 74mil under cap in 2019.
Yep. Demarcus Lawrence won't make it to free agency either. There's no way. If people want a young defensive end with some skill, who actually has a chance to hit free agency it's Trey Flowers of the Patriots. The are likely to use the franchise tag on Stephen Gostkowski, and they really don't ever use it on position players.

Ok while I was commenting in the receiver coach post I was talking about Raheem Morris and brought up Kyle Flood. As I'm thinking about it, Kyle Flood would be a good fit as an offensive line coach. He was the head coach at Rutgers for a bit and work on those Greg Schiano teams. He has no Daboll connection, but he coached Bill Belicheck's son at Rutgers. He's currently the assistant offensive line coach in Atlanta, and McDermott and Dan Quinn are pretty tight, so if Quinn and Belicheck would recommend Flood, it would be hard to turn down. Kyle Flood is a good coach who struggled recruiting and got a bad rap because his kids on his teams got in lots of trouble.

Von Miller is a millennial. He was born in 1989. His mom is losing her mind over her son being mentioned in a season ending press conference. It’s his job. He’s a professional athlete and his mom is jumping in. That’s pathetic.
Oh lord I'm a middle school teacher. You have no idea how bad it is.

For such a young group I would favor a former NFL WR for the position. Guys who've actually run the routes in NFL games and have used the subtle technique/tricks needed to beat coverage and make plays. I don't know if Proehl is the guy but he's the type.
Agreed. A 17 year career, played with Kurt Warner and Peyton Manning and won chamipnships. He got by doing his job and working hard and such. I think he is a great match.
-
I agree. I think Elway is terrible at his job. He gets a pass becuase of his legendary status.

I never said they were near Nelson and I stated in an earlier post that they’d need to be elite like Nelson was to be picked in the top 10-20.
i wasn’t dating any of these guys stray that level. I was simply saying that RT is worth taking in the top ten when the talent is there.
I fully expect Buffalo to draft defense based on the talent at the top of the class ATM:
Yeah my bad, that comment wasn't meant for you, it just was a general comment for th board. I am vehemently against drafting guards and right tackles in the top ten and people on the board keep using Nelson as a reason why you should, but they are ignoring the fact that Nelson is an amazing elite can't miss prospect. So apologies if it felt like I was being snarky towards you.

The more I evaluate the draft the more I think pick 9 will be a D-line player, which while not a drastic need would be a need (I think the pass rush needs a shot in the arm and the D-line needs more younger players, besides Shaq and Phillips all the other D-line players are older players.) I wouldn't mind at all a RT as I think this philsophy that if you draft a RT at 9 its such a reach if they can't be swung back over to the left side is foolish. RT is a premium position in the modern NFL. A lot of the top pass rushers in the NFL rush against the right side. You need 5 top O-line players and they are all becoming harder to find. So while being able to shift over to the left side is a positive trait it isn't a make or break in my opinion.
I agree that it's going to be a defensive lineman.
Have you looked at right tackles on rosters around the NFL? It's not pretty. And of all 32 teams there are 2 right tackles who where top ten picks, Johnson and Conklin. And Johnson is really a left tackle playing right. Neither are all pros this year. And there a whole mess of linemen who where reached on and suck. Luke Joeckel, Jonathan Cooper, Warmack etc etc etc. it's just bad drafting. Quentin Nelson elite player. Lane Johnson elite athlete in a crap draft. You simply can't draft these guys if they aren't elite. There's no draft value and you will be passing on elite talents at more important positions.
Left tackles are simply more important becuase they protect the blindside. It's a simple concept, but that's really it.

Beane seemed to be really close with Proehl. Interesting though we cut his son.
I thînk the fact that he was even drafted was a favor from McBeane to Ricky Proehl, kind like how Elway drafted Chad Kelly.

I guess the good news is that they only crossed over one year in Carolina with McBEANE.

Allen is one of those "plays way faster than times" guys. But it did make him drop in the draft a bit.
