dont see the point in both hump and conley, unles you think 1 of them is a number 1 wr.
jones, mckenzie and foster will all be here next year, so you need a 1 and a 2/3
I think Conley has #1 upside. He's buried on the depth chart but still has 5 touchdowns and has had some big games. He's ready to break out. Humphries is a true 2/3 and would fill out a nice corps with Conley, Jones, Humphries and Foster. McKenzie to me is more of a gadget player, but he has his uses.
I think this regime is done with diva recievers. Conley is a supremely hard worker, a humble and very intelligent guy who is a big, uber athlete. He's my guy. Humphries is just a solid player who moves chains in the vein of an Emanuel Sanders type. Ideally, I want both with Jones, Foster, McKenzie and who ever we draft.

I know many people want to upgrade here, but does everyone realize that Lorax is the 2 down SAM backer? Half the time, when we actually have three linebackers in the game we are in an under look where Lorax is playing on the line. The majority of his playing time comes as a pass rusher in the nickel. Yes it makes sense to get younger and more athletic, but we are not often in base 4-3 looks. Lorax has played very little off ball SAM this year.

For sure. He is playing exactly where he should which is as a 2 down SAM and a nickel pass rusher. He does a lot of very nice things for our defense and special teams. I know a lot of people aren't into intangible stuff, but teh leadership and mentoring he offers is worth every penny, and he can still play at a high level.

Here's what I got on offense. Obviously we won't get all of it, but these are my targets.
Receiver - Chris Conley and Adam Humphries
Center - Nick Easton or Mitch Morse
Guard - Mark Glowinski or Quinton Spain or AJ Cann (Or trade for Forrest Lamp)
RT - Daryl Williams or Josh Wells or Ju'Waun James
Tight end: Jesse James or Tyler Kroft and Maxx Williams or Nick Boyle (either of these guys can also serve as a fullback if you wanted to cut DiMarco)
Running Back: TJ Yeldon (perfect complimentary back and really good reciever)
I'd say that pretty much fixes the offense. I also offer Matt Barkley a reasonable backup contract to be the long term #2 before he gets to UFA.

Kwon Alexander is a player that I think McDermort targets this offseason. I specifically remember McDermott heaping praise his way after we played them during the '17 season.
The Panthers drafted a player with a very similar skill set to Kwon Alexander in Shaq Thompson during McDermotts DC days there.....and they drafted him in the 1st round, so you know McDermott coveted that skill set.
A smaller rangier LB. Now he did tear his ACL this year.....but that was in October so he might be ready to go fir the start of '19. He's just a guy I think the Bills would love to have to really fill out their LB core.
Kwon is a great player no doubt, but this team spends a lot of the time in nickel defense. We are barely in a base 4-3, which means that either Milano or Edmunds are heading to the bench a lot if Kwon was signed. I don't think that is where they go with their money. If you feel Alexander is a huge upgrade from Milano, then by all means it's a great move.

Another ec Wyoming receiver the Bills should look at is Jacob Hollister at tight end. He is on the Patriots roster. Bellicek made room for him on the roster. And we all know how poor his judgement is on tight ends. So that would be one more person they could pick up that Allen could us. If they could pry him away from the Patriots.
Hollister would be a nice piece as well. He's been hurt so much that ole Billy B. may just let him go for free. He hates guys who get injured.

I like Tyrell Williams but I am all in on Chris Conley. That's my guy and a perfect fit.

I like your line up. What if we draft Jonah Williams in the 1st round an put him at LG? Move Teller to RG an either keep Mills or try and find a replacement at RT in free agency.
LT - Dawkins
LG - Jonah Williams
C - Easton or Morse
RG - Lamp or Teller
RT - Mills or FA
That works as well. I'm okay with it as long as it isn't in the top ten. I like Jonah but he better be elite if I'm drafting him that high. Honestly if we draft Jonah I would just stick him at right tackle, or flip Dawkins over there.

I'm down. It's definitely an A for effort.

I love the Titans Vandy one. Too many Navy and Gray teams like the Titans.
I think the Tampa FSU one looks cool as well.
UNC blue for Carolina is pretty sweet.

They gave Butt Kicker a series in the Miami game. I think he'll get addsitional snaps in these last four games to assess whwre he is.
Boy I sure hope so. Watching Miller and Mills play is like shades of watching Mike Tolbert get carries for -1 yard and Preston Brown leaving tight ends wide open over the middle. Anything is better.

I believe he is on the Packers practice squad at teh moment.

Sirles working as the backup at Center with Miller practicing as the starter at RG.
That's yucky. If Sirles was not stout at guard it will be even worse with a nose tackle in his face at center. And Miller sucks. I really wish they would just let Ike Boettger play. There is nothing to lose and Miller will not be back.

What about one of those guys who snap it sideways like in midget league?
I saw a college team do that recently on a trick play.

there's one helluva trivia question. off the top of i can't even remember who was there during the sb years. ballard/fina brown hull ritcher....?
can't believe i can't remember being a 45 yr. fan.
i used to complain about pears but since he was here, he hasn't been equaled.
It's Howard Ballard in 1993. He made it in 94 too as a member of the Seahawks.

I mean, yeah it doesn't make sense now, but it made sense on September 18th when I posted it.

I've been begging for them to sign Gentry off the Bears p-squad and Daurice Fountain off the Colts. Fountain was an absolute terror in the East West game and it is dumb that he is sitting on a practice squad and not on an active roster.

I figure the Redskins would take a look.

I don't think Denver will let Paradis go. And I think that feeling is mutual.
I think we go after Mitch Morse or Nick Easton. Brett Jones is somewhat interesting as well. I do think Bodine could be more effective if he played next to better guards, but ideally he is a backup C-G. Eric Kush is an interesting guy who can play center or guard. He could probably play RT as well. Max Garcia can also play center or guard.
Ideally we sign either Morse or Easton.
My ideal move at right guard is trading for Forrest Lamp. He was a highly touted player who go hurt and has been inactive. The Chargers aren't playing him because their line is playing really well. They haven't been able to see what they have yet. To me, if you offer them a 4th or 5th round pick, they may be willing to move him. To me, he is totally worth the risk.
If that doesn't happen, I'm pursuing Mark Glowinski. Guy is playing awesome for the Colts. He is surrounded by some good players, but things are starting to click for him. You could pursue Quinton Spain or AJ Cann. I actually really like the way Cann plays and he's developed nicely. Donovan Smith from Tampa would probably be very good if he moved inside to guard.
At right tackle I want Daryl Williams and there is a Panther connection there.
So my ideal starting line next year:
LT - Dawkins
LG - Teller
C - Easton or Morse
RG - Lamp
RT - Williams
You can flip Teller and Lamp, but I do think I have seen enough from Teller to pencil him in next year. Bodine is your cheap backup C-G.

yep and i'm surprised that no one has pointed out the turnstile mills is. this play shows it perfectly....and it happens every. single. game....i think playing next to him has got to make that rg spot very difficult. rt is the absolute worst spot on this line and has been for quite a while now.
Mills is absolutely awful. He has been pretty much since he got here.
I think Daryl Williams is probably the most obvious fit for this roster this off season. He is a RT only, but very good. The issue is he has been on IR all season with a pretty serious knee injury. So there is a fair amount of risk, but he may also come a bit cheaper because of it. I want us to spend on young veterans, guys like Nick Easton, AJ Cann, Wiliams.
I am a big Dion Dawkins supported, but I feel like he has not been great lately either. Groy, Bodine are not great. Bodine is the perfect back up center. Teller has been okay.
I really want them to give Boettger a chance to play to see what we have.

Here's the thing on "stopping Allen's running"
I don't know wtf he's been up to, but compared to what his running was like at the beginning of the season, something is up.
He's sick, man, sick. He needs to refine more, but he's dropping my jaw. He's like channeling Shady or something.
Let's walk through a play. Here's the Hail Mary at the end of the half. I promise, this will be fun.
Quinn has beat Dawkins and is bearing down on Allen like a freight train. Harris is about to beat his guy on the right.
Nope. Allen steps up, jukes left, and not only does Quinn miss Allen, *his momentum takes him into Harris, and takes Harris out too.
Meanwhile, Allen is still looking downfield.
Now here's where maybe the rookie takes over. Instead of stepping into the lane between Groy and Boettger, Allen keeps going to the right and turns his back. Groy's man is licking his chops. I believe Allen should have stepped up and let it fly at that point, but maybe I'm wrong.
Instead, he easily wins the footrace, leads the defender (Williams?) back into Groy, and looks back downfield to see what's developed
Quinn is still on his stomach going "WTF just happened?" Harris is struggling to his feet.
Allen's inexperience shows. He should stop right there - trust Groy to delay Williams, reset nicely, and keep away from Harris - let Dawkins screen them off and buy him time.
Instead he keeps going towards Harris, does a crap job of resetting his feet and has Harris pressuring him, makes an off-balance throw that's too much of a rainbow, and throws the INT.
But man - the moves, the cuts, the jukes. You can't coach that stuff. He keeps up with the moves like that, Good Luck stopping him running.
Ike Boettger doing a pretty good job on this play as well.

Yes to my eye he did not look very good. He seems a bit awkward at guard. Still probably better than John Miller.m
