Elijah Moore Visiting the Bills today (Update: Signed!)
MrEpsYtown replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
Bills are not in line for any comp picks, so that ufa tender should not be an issue. I guess it comes down to price, opportunity and fit. Browns just signed Diontae "No hands" Johnson, so extending this tender feels a little disingenuous, but Browns gonna Brown. -
Yeah that was weird!

At around 43 mins in

So I know people don’t love McShay sometimes, but he loved the Bills draft and had a pretty interesting take. He said the teams with quarterbacks like Josh Allen (Ravens, Eagles, Chiefs) should do everything they can to improve the defense because Josh can’t help on the defensive side of the ball. He was afraid the Bills would not stick to the strategy and he was happy that they did drafting defense early and often. I just thought it was a pretty interesting take when you typically hear guys talking about adding weapons around the QB.

if they can make this happen I can go back into hibernation -
Camarda was highly touted, ery athletic, highly drafted 4th round pick. He had two very good years for the Bucs. I read he had something going on and had a couple of bad games and the Bucs cut him. So he only played in a couple of games last season but he has the pedigree. Beane said they liked him a bunch coming out but he was drafted earlier than anyone expected. Anyway, during Camarda’s first two years, our new special teams coordinator Chris Tabor was in Carolina gameplanning against Camarda. Anyway I just think it’s his job to lose because of the pedigree and upside.
-
I guess my thought process on him is that he is a better receiver than Codrington is a corner. To me neither should make it and they should find a returner who can do both. I don’t think you can have two exclusive returners on a roster.
-
Hancock will make the team 100%. I believe Strong will too. Jake Camarda way over Robbin’s imo. Other than that I think it’s pretty spot on. It should be interesting to see what happens when Hoecht and Larry O come back.

Assuming he has to take a 1 year prove it deal, this is the place to be. If the excuses for him not reaching full potential has been terrible QB play, let’s see what he can do with a real QB. It makes a ton of sense on both sides. -

I agree with this. The way to beat the Chiefs is to smash them in the face, rushing 4. Beane seems to be trying to get there. -

He is wound pretty tightly physically. And this is not a knock on you at all, but many on this board were banging the table for Tez Johnson near the end of the draft, the soon to be 23 year old who goes 5-9, 154 lbs and his 4.51 forty. It's okay to be a bit smaller when you go 4.35 in speed. -

I would even add, in last year's vaunted draft class, who really did that aside from Nabers and BTJ both of whom were out of reach? Those guys are hard to come by. Don't grow on trees. -
But his argument is going to be that they used a first on Kincaid, a 2nd on a guard, a 2nd on Coleman, a first on Diggs etc. A ton of money on Allen, Palmer, Shakir, Knox and Samuel and a ton of money on the offensive line. The players they have on the offensive side of the ball have a ton of unrealized upside. Drafting Troy Horton is not making this a Super bowl team. The defense was God awful and slow and had zero upside. He changed all that with 1 draft. I am a Beane hater. I am on his side on this one.
-
But those pass catchers who let us down were big money #1 Diggs and the first-round pick Kincaid. We certainly need people to step up, but just throwing assets at the position isn't going to fix that. I agree, we need some people to step up. Guys like Coleman, who was a high pick, Shakir, who is being paid like a #1, and Palmer and Samuel, who are being paid a lot as well. To to mention first round pick Kincaid and highly paid TE in Knox. Those guys all have to be better.

That's awesome. And he's right.

MrEpsYtown replied to bills742's topic in The Stadium Wall
I agree. Teams do respect his speed as a he runs a ton of deep comebacks. But his deep game is more digs, posts, and post corners, which to me is more in line with Josh's strengths. -

See to me 54% is not primarily a slot. Khalil Shakir at 70% slot snaps is primarily slot IMO. 50/50 means moves around in my world. People see Moore's size and assume he is a slot. -

I have been pushing for this move. He's 24 years old and has a chip on his shoulder. He is not a gadget player. He makes a ton of plays in that 20-30 yard range in which Josh Allen feasts and while he isn't a go ball guy exclusively, he can do it. Honestly would love this. -
Bills 4th Round Pick : Deone Walker - DT - Kentucky
MrEpsYtown replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
McDermott ran a ton of 4-3 under when he was with Carolina. I suppose it’s possible, but he has been pretty exclusively 4-2-5 since he got here. And yes I think Hoecht could play that wide 9 sam. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2017/1/12/14236950/sean-mcdermott-buffalo-bills-head-coach-4-3-defense-all-22 That article explains what we thought the defense would like when he came over to Buffalo. The double A gap mug and nickel package is essentially all we do here these days. -
Atlanta Falcons’ DC’s kid pranked Shedeur
MrEpsYtown replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s a dumb prank from a really dumb generation who trash movie theaters etc. however, if the Sanders crew wasn’t documenting every second of every day no one would even know it happened and the embarrassment of situation could have stayed private. All around everyone is stupid here including the coach who did not secure his device. Just all around, old fashioned stupidity. -
Bills 4th Round Pick : Deone Walker - DT - Kentucky
MrEpsYtown replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
I just think you have to watch the film yourself. There are some really interesting things he can do. Additionally, I’m gonna probably side with Pete Prisco’s or Trapasso or whomever’s grade literally on the screen behind this guy who is talking in his mom’s basement. -
Bills 6th Round Pick (#1) : Dorian Strong - CB - VA Tech
MrEpsYtown replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is your high floor guy and Hairston is the shoot for the moon. I like the double dip. I think Strong will be CB 3. And long term there are some things you can do with Hairston inside if you want to in nickel and dime stuff with Strong outside. I really like this pick adding you and depth to that room. Way too good to pass up in round 6. -
Bills 5th Round Pick (#2) : Jackson Hawes - TE - Georgia Tech
MrEpsYtown replied to Simon's topic in The Stadium Wall
This video he is essentially playing the Anderson role, but he has some upside as a receiver. Ton of split zone, H counter, some iso from fullback, some in line Y, and blocking on the perimeter. This is a really fun piece to have. He does a bit in the video above -
Yep it’s that old “you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take” thing. They don’t even take shots unless you count Márquez Stevenson
-
Well I assume that the Bills feel like they can coach out his deficiencies, and this is a pure upside play. Thats the part of this that knowledgeable scouting community cannot possibly know. They won’t know what kind of worker the guy is in practice, they can’t know the details of the injury situation. They won’t know what the plan is for fixing the issues in his game. So to me that’s the missing piece. Walker is a very rare body type and typically guys like this haven’t been super successful. Doesn’t mean he can’t. To me this is in some ways similar to taking a shot on a Josh Allen…Walker has huge upside if he hits and I have no problem with that in the 4th round. A fire hydrant can’t move nose tackle is a dime a dozen. A guy who is 6-7, 335 with those movement skills is not. Landon Jackson is a similar upside play as is Maxwell Hairston, TJ Sanders and so was Keon Coleman and Cole Bishop. They all have high upside traits. This team is devoid of high upside talent. If this class fails, we are in trouble, but if it hits, it probably goes a long way towards possibly helping us win a Super Bowl. This is a high ceiling shot over a low floor shot. So to me the variance in opinions on Walker are similar to the reasons the scouting community was so split on Josh Allen. It’s risk reward.
