Can’t wait for the day Klein is no longer on the field.

Bills personnel meetings: Recently fired Scout A: I hear Yannick is available. I think we should we take a look. Director: What year was in Carolina? Recently fired Scout A: He wasn't. Director: What is wrong with you. Why are you wasting my time.

Missing piece to the offensive puzzle.

I would take it

I am not disagreeing with you. However, Klein signed a 3 year deal for $18M and Lee has been bagging groceries...

Surprised no talk of this yet. I think the Bills give this guy a shot - there is no risk. He sucks then release him in a few weeks.

We like PFF if they are positive. They suck if they are negative. Sounds about right. Any of us that have watched the games can see the D is struggling. Both at stopping the run and getting QB pressure. There have been times the pressure has been there but it is in spurts. The run defense is clearly the weaker link. But who knows what PFF used to define pass rush win rate...

If you look at the D vs anyone but the Jets it has been atrocious on a historical level.

That is my point. Who cares they played well against an awful Jets team in the second half. I have read articles about how the D figured it out or Hughes turned it on or xyz. I am more of a believer in the Jets stink.

What does it say if Bills are sellers and not buyers at trade deadline? Pegula hoarding $$$$?

We needed it too. We have the biggest group of overpaid no names. Crazy how much money we threw at this group of Jefferson, Butler, Addison. The rich get richer and Bills think they are good. That second half vs the Jets shows the Bills have figured it out........

Yes and those guys generally do not get paid like the more hyped players.

Uggh. Seattle lacking a pass rush and they make a move. Yannick gone; Griffen gone; Dunlap gone. Any of these three could have been had and all would have helped this team. And its not about salary cap. BAL had less space than us and Seattle around the same.

If he is hideous what could our Def players be called? He would be leading the Bills in QB pressures, QB hits and be 2nd in sacks.

~Both at 280

And the other thread is Everton Griffen...who is this Everton Griffith guy.

Addison - 2 hurries, 2 QB knockdowns, 3 sacks = 7 pressures Griffen - 8 hurries, 3 QB Knockdowns, 2.5 sacks = 14 pressures Yes...Addison is a Bill so he is clearly awesome. Everson sucks, he is old, we dont need him.

Well he is only .5 sack away from our sack leader this year. I dont think it would have been a bad move. Would be an upgrade over a guy like Cox or Epenesa at this point. He is around the same age and has similar numbers as Addison this year and over the past several years. Pointless talk now though since he is no longer an option.

I will take a few of these please. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2020/10/27/21535056/with-the-dallas-cowboys-as-trade-deadline-sellers-the-buffalo-bills-should-be-on-the-phone

A.J. Klein was a massive miss in free agency As the Bills were trying to protect Matt Milano, who they brought in mainly on third downs, Klein got a lot of run again at linebacker. On the Jets’ second drive, he allowed a 2nd-and-long conversion because he was slow in coverage, then Klein missed a tackle on a run fill the next play. That’s why he’s here; to stop the run. He’s a liability for the Bills’ defense and Buffalo paid him too much money for this kind of return. Even former UDFA Tyrel Dodson was getting run ahead of him until he also was hurt.

I would argue part of this is due to the back ups being so bad. Klein should not be on the field. If they had even a decent backup it would be a different situation.

Can they guarantee the 2014-17 version of him?

Eyeball test for Bass does not look good. Rarely do you see perfect through the upright kicks. It is weir. Clearly he has power yet he just seems to never hit the ball right or something. Heck, maybe it is the holder or the snapper. I want to believe they see him nailing perfect 60 yarders at practice.

I agree. And look at the contract that Dareus signed vs Williams. Not always fair, but potential is sometimes valued much more than heart. I could see the same thing happening here - Milano either walks or gets paid much less than Edmunds. But Edmunds never lives up to pay, while Milano earns it.

Your opinion, my opinion. I would bet money that if there was an NFL draft held right now that Edmunds would still get picked higher than Milano. I just think people see him as having a much higher ceiling.
