    Kyle Williams: Officially Retires

    He was a beast. He is right up there with Kyle. Too bad the grunts in the trenches get passed up alot.

     

    The ranking for career Buffalo Bill DT's is:

     

    1. Tom Sestak

    2. Kyle Williams

    3. Fred Smerlas

     

    So Kyle is essentially a guaranteed Wall of Famer.

     

    As far as his league-wide reputation goes, it's interesting to note that he's finishing 183rd at the moment in official NFL career sacks. The vast majority of the 182 in front of him are DE's and pass-rushing OLB's, so I don't know how he ranks exactly as a pass-rushing DT in the league. But it's probably very respectable.

    Not so fun fact-QB 3000 Yd Passing seasons

    The Bills have 28 seasons with 1000 yard rushers...

     

    3rd In NFL history...

     

     

     

    Actually, it's 30 seasons (the Rams are first with 33 seasons and the Bears second with 31). Cookie would have easily accounted for 2 more, but he played during the 14-game era. It just shows you how much the Bills franchise has valued the RB position over its history.

    I wonder how many times Kelly does

    it if he played in this Era.

    If you want to see impressive, compare Dan Marino to his peers.  Brees is quit impressive compared to his peers as well.

     

    Comparing players to their peers is really the only fair way to do it when you're talking about stat comparisons from differerent eras. Ryan Fitzpatrick, for example, could conceivably pass Jim Kelly in career NFL passing yards when all is said and done. On stats alone, a completely oblivious statistician might think the two were comparable in talent, ignoring the fact that Fitzy played in the flag football era while Jim Kelly played in an era where running the ball was still a viable strategy.

     

    Also, the career longevity of NFL QB's these days was simply not possible back then. I'm impressed by how effective Brees and Brady have been into their 40's, but no way they get to where they are now if defenses were allowed to play under the old rules of getting to the QB.

     

    One can definitely make a case that Marino was the GOAT. He would have had multiple Super Bowl rings if he had quality RB's playing for him and if the Bills weren't in the same division.

    Poll: Draft Greedy Williams in the 1st Round?

    He's an absolute stud and he gives our Defense that attitude we need. People will flip if we take him but I don't know he turns our really good defense to elite.

     

    Imagine having a CB core of White, Williams, Wallace and Johnson.

     

    A Tre White doppelganger as the #2 CB absolutely would turn this defense to elite status. Any defense that features two genuine "shut-down" CB's (i.e. performing at an All-Pro level) to go along with a very good pair of safeties, a solid nickel CB, two very good LB's, and even just an average DL is going to be performing at an elite level.

    I've seen a couple mock drafts where people have the Bills selecting Greedy Williams with their 1st.  On the one hand, he is one of the highest rated players, generally assumed to be a top-5 pick like Jalen Ramsey or Denzel Ward, and a defensive backfield of Williams, Taron Johnson, Tre White, Micah Hyde, and Jordan Poyer would be ridiculous, and would be in place for years.  On the other hand, the offense obviously needs work, at just about every position.  Despite this draft having much better defensive players than offensive ones, offensive players are who we need right now.  So, what are your thoughts?

     

    If he's a comparable talent to someone like Jalen Ramsey, then you have to take him as a BPA.

    LeSean McCoy hamstring injury - OUT vs Lions

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    So he's listed as day-to-day.

     

    Hopefully he ends up playing Sunday because he has a lot to prove at this particular stage in his career. As everyone knows, he's in serious danger of being a cap casualty, and this makes me extremely sad because he is one of my favorite all-time Buffalo Bills. How does everyone feel about the prospects of a contract restructuring for McCoy? Lower the annual cap hit and increase the years on his current contract? This would allow him to retire as a Bill and finish his career like Marcus Allen did - that is, playing as a backup RB, a receiver out of the backfield, and a veteran presence in the locker room.

    Bills defense is overrated.

    Instinct = innate = inborn/natural...........so instinct by definition you can't teach.

     

    I agree with you that learned behavior is often confused with instinct..........but there is more to it than study and reps.........whether it be an ability,  even subconsciously,  to read more information/cues in a shorter amount of time or whatever it may be some athletes are more instinctive than others.

     

    We see it all the time at the MLB position.........guys come in and play near their peak potential almost immediately..........whether that be a limited grinder like Preston Brown or a guy who seems to otherwise be something of an idiot like Kiko or a physical specimen like Urlacher who moved from college safety to rookie MLB in the NFL and put up one of his best seasons as a rookie.

     

    There is reason for concern wrt Edmunds becoming the superstar MLB that his draft status warrants...........but I do think he has enough potential to be worth it somewhere else if it doesn't work out at MLB.

     

    I suppose I just think the concept of pro MLB "instincts" are negligible and highly overrated. With a strong work ethic and good coaching, Edmunds will be fine developing into an elite MLB. A full off-season of adding bulk won't hurt either. And the varying football backgrounds between these so-called "instinctual" LB's and Edmunds do matter to me. He entered the league this summer as a very young and raw prospect. It should have been expected for Edmunds to struggle some in his rookie year and to not have a perfectly positive linear progression. I can generalize this frustration of mine to all sorts of life endeavors besides football. If you don't hit the ground running in something, a lot of people seem more than willing to write you off as "not a natural" and then steer you toward something else. This mindset seems to be typical of people who have never had the experience of working really hard and obsessively at something in their own private lives.

     

    There's also the problem of where to put Edmunds if not at MLB. Milano plays the Will LB, and the Sam LB in a modern 4-3 defense is more of a part-time position. Both Edmunds and Milano need to be every-down LB's.

    Your missing the point.

     

    You can't teach instincts. You either have it or you don't. BADOL used the example of Preston Brown as a rookie if I recall correctly. The guy came in and showed the insticts the position requires instantly. 

     

    The only argument against this thought for Edmunds seems to be "well, remember he's 20".  

     

    Yes you can! One is not simply born to play 4-3 MLB at the pro level. What you perceive as "instincts" come from hard work and experience. Preston Brown is cited here as an example. That's an interesting one because Preston's father was a career football coach, so Preston had a different level of tutelage and LB experience than Tremaine had upon entering the NFL.

    The defense is mediocre in sacks, interceptions, and third down percentage. They are downright awful in red zone defense. They are otherwise top 10 in all other meaningful metrics.

     

    McDermott and Beane have made good progress with the defense from year 1 to year 2. But more work clearly needs to be done this offseason:

     

    1. Find a capable #2 CB opposite White.

    2. Find an annual double-digit sack DE opposite Hughes.

    3. Find a replacement for Kyle Williams.

    4. Find a replacement for Lorenzo Alexander.

     

    So that's 4 starters needed. This draft is absolutely loaded with talent at DE and DT, and these guys have shown that they know how to draft CB's and LB's. There is also free agency to find replacements. 

     

    The difficulty is in trying to find 4 starters on defense while simultaneously overhauling the offense. It can be done with $90 million in cap space and 10 draft picks. But it won't be easy.

    PETA is a PITA

    Animal protections are a legit concern but PETA is so extreme they actually work against their supposed goal. It's like they troll themselves.

     

    Happy to see someone here say this! I'm a regular financial donor to PETA, and I don't agree with them on this particular stance, but the overall work they do is noble and important.
