  1. See Elam, Kaiir.
  2. This is a pretty niche role that doesn't get a ton of coverage, but here are some potential options: These names are currently employed as and have experience as Assistant Special Teams coaches on top units in the league: Jett Modkins - Detroit Lions (2021 - 2024) Son of Curtis Modkins (Bills OC under Chan Gailey) and is an original member of Dan Campbell's staff He received an interview for the 49ers ST Coordinator role that was filled by Ben Boyer Sam Koch - Baltimore Ravens (2022 - 2024) Former All-Pro and Pro Bowl Punter for Baltimore Been on staff dating back to 2022 Andy Hill - Kansas City Chiefs (2020 - 2024) Formerly at Mizzou for nearly 30 years, brought on to work under Dave Toub who is considered the preeminent ST Coordinator in the NFL today Former ST Coordinators who are available: Chris Tabor Most recently Carolina ST coordinator (2022 - 2023) but has stints with Cleveland (2011 - 2017) and Chicago (2018 - 2021) Ranked as the 2nd best ST coordinator via a poll conducted by the NFLPA after the 2023 season Ben Kotwica Most recently Denver ST coordinator (2023 - 2024) but has stints with Jets (2013), Commanders (2014 - 2018) and Falcons (2019 - 2020) Darren Rizzi Most recently New Orleans ST coordinator/Interim Head Coach (2019 - 2024) Ranked as the 5th best ST coordinator via a poll conducted by the NFLPA after the 2023 season This seems unlikely as many are connecting him to the open vacancy in Denver reuniting him with Sean Payton Seems VERY unlikely, but looking at the college options: Joe DeCamillis Currently Associate Head Coach and Special Teams Coordinator at South Carolina 2x Super Bowl Champion with a ton of NFL experience Unlikely to make the jump as he's making $800k at South Carolina LeVar Woods Currently the Special Teams Coordinator at Iowa Former NFL Linebacker and Special Teams standout Iowa is the only place he has ever coached, making $700k Pete Lembo Current University of Buffalo Head Coach Special Teams Coordinator at Maryland, Rice and South Carolina before dipping back into the Head Coach ranks Nominated multiple times for the Broyles Award given to honor the best assistant coach in college football. Feels unlikely, but we've seen college head coaches leave their post for lesser roles in recent years with NIL creating a massive gap Jeff Hafley left a head coaching job at Boston College -- with three years left on his contract -- to become an NFL defensive coordinator with the Green Bay Packers. Chip Kelly left one Big Ten job for another. The surprise being he gave up a head coaching job at UCLA to become an offensive coordinator at new conference rival Ohio State. Kelly was nine months removed from having his contract extended at UCLA. Two head coaches at the Group of Five level left to become coordinators at Alabama: Kane Wommack (South Alabama) and Maurice Linguist (Buffalo). Another Group of Five head coach, Shawn Elliott of Georgia State, left to become mostly a position coach at South Carolina. Jerry Kill, who gave up his head coaching job at New Mexico State after a 10-win season to become a consultant at Vanderbilt.
  3. Brady was never a Dorsey disciple—he was a deliberate hedge against Dorsey and a calculated gamble on a fading star. His hiring represented exactly what you’re advocating for: an external perspective designed to challenge the status quo.
  4. Jacksonville was not trading their pick with Brian Thomas Jr. still on the board, which meant moving up to 23 was never an option. The Chiefs only had to move up four spots, but for the Bills to get Thomas, they would have needed to move at least six. The Eagles, picking at 22, had a major need at defensive back and every DB was still on the board. That means the Bills would have needed to jump seven spots, requiring a trade with Miami. But with Chop Robinson still available, would the Dolphins have been willing to move back that far? Beyond all that, we have hindsight in helping us, there were zero trades between picks 18 and 22—the exact range Brandon Beane would have needed to get into for Thomas. On another note, Beane only sits back when players are graded similarly. If there’s a clear top target in range, he always tries to move up, but it's not entirely in his control.
  5. He gave a quick shoutout to Bills fans on the Bills Twitter and was teary-eyed. He said he had just watched the video - genuinely amazing human being. This all means something to him, and not because of the fame and fortune.
  6. Athletic Training Staff This team manages the day-to-day health and medical needs of the players and staff within the facility. Nathan Breske – Head Athletic Trainer Numerous administrative duties Coordinates with doctors, surgeons, HR, and insurance Leads medical reviews ahead of the draft Flags any medical concerns from player reports (NFL, Combine, College) Denny Kellington – Associate Head Athletic Trainer Tabani Richards & Marissa Figueroa – Assistant Athletic Trainer Likely the most hands-on with players Responsible for treatments, rehab, and daily medical care Team Doctors These are practicing medical professionals who dedicate time to working with the team. Their primary responsibility is to assess flagged medical concerns and provide final determinations on player health. Leslie Bisson, MD – Head Team Physician (Leads the group) Thomas White, MD Andrew Cappuccino, MD Marc Fineberg, MD Mark Kim, DO Joseph Kowalski, MD William Wind, MD Medical Review & Decision Process The Athletic Training Staff collects and reviews player medicals from various sources (NFL, Combine, Colleges). Nathan Breske identifies and flags any concerns. The flagged cases are escalated to Dr. Bisson (Head Team Physician) for further review. The Team Doctors make the final decision on a player’s medical status. If a doctor is uncomfortable with a player’s medicals, the team typically defers to their judgment in decision-making. This structure ensures a collaborative process where athletic trainers handle daily player care, while team doctors have the final say on medical concerns, especially those impacting roster decisions.
  7. Of course I looked. The roster wasn't any better in 2010 with Pat Shurmur calling the plays and Bradford won ROY. Roster was similar in 2011, and he absolutely sucked under McDaniels. Then he magically returned to a similar level of play with Brian Schottenheimer calling the plays in 2012 and was off to a torrid start with Schottenheimer in 2013 as well. He was throwing to Amendola, Lloyd and Gibson then. If you want to assert that Amendola was the difference between McDaniels having success with Bradford or not, go for it... He's been a Head Coach twice and was fired before even completing his second season, BOTH TIMES. He was also not renewed after 1 season in St. Louis. There's clearly a pattern here - he has been a disaster without Belichick. I'm not saying he's a bumbling fool, just that he has not proven to be good without Belichick. "I don't think McDaniels is a great HC but he did go to the play offs with Tim Tebow." Did you just take a look at the roster ... by chance? 🤣🤣🤣 He drafted Tim Tebow and then couldn't figure out how to use him, he never got run as the starter with McDaniels. McDaniels started his Broncos career 6-0 and then proceeded to go 5 - 17 and then followed that up with a Raiders tenure where he went 9 - 16. Even though you're not saying he's great, based on his track record, it's criminal you even used "great" and "head coach" in the same sentence when referencing McDaniels. Let's not forget his absolute clown show backing out of Indianapolis job in the 11th hour and after having already hired staff there.
  8. Terrible in Denver and Las Vegas running his own show and calling plays. Terrible OC in St. Louis running the offense for a defensive head coach in Steve Spagnuolo. He was hired to help the reigning 2010 AP Offensive Rookie of the Year take a leap forward. Sam Bradford was on pace to put up BY FAR the worst season of his career before it was cut short due to injury after 10 games. Sam Bradford (2011) 53.5% Completion 216 Yards/Game 1.7% TD 1.7% INT Sam Bradford (Career) 62.5% Completion 234.3 Yards/Game 3.5% TD 2.1% INT He's been nothing but atrocious when he's not working under Belichick.
  9. No, it shouldn't. That's why it doesn't you ***** - it's clearly ***** outlined. TOT_NETDrAV is the AV that a team has benefitted from directly while the player is on their team, as compared to players and teams in their draft class. Please just change your username to Willful_Ignorance and crawl back into whatever hole you came from.
  10. It’s impressive how much pride you take in being willfully ignorant. The Pro Bowl is part of the formula, not the sole component. Much different than you and others who use Pro Bowl nods (or the lack thereof) as the sole measure of a player's worth.
  11. Oh boy, you’re not even good at being a troll. Can you try and contribute something of value to this forum?
  12. It’s not just adding up the raw AV numbers for each player. There is a weight associated with each round and rewards you for over performing or under performing with your selection in the round compared to your peers. This illustrates it pretty well… Damar Hamlin provides some positive value, as expected from a starter on a 12–13 win team, but it's not substantial. In the same draft, Rousseau and Spencer Brown add significant value, with Brown contributing heavily. However, Hamlin’s value is largely offset by the lack of contributions from other picks like Boogie Basham, Tommy Doyle, Marquez Stevenson, Rachad Wildgoose, and Jack Anderson. As a result, the bulk of the 2021 draft class value for Buffalo comes from Rousseau and Brown, who rank 9th in the class—well behind the top 5 teams (DET, KAN, DEN, PHI, and HOU).
  13. Copy and paste from another thread because it’s just clowns regurgitating the same *****, so maybe I should too: PRO BOWL?! You're seriously citing the PRO BOWL? Russell Wilson was named to the Pro Bowl this year - what a credible way to evaluate his performance. You're flat-out wrong about Buffalo. I can name players too! CB Taron Johnson—All-Pro—taken in the 4th round in 2019. "D captain Nick Bolton"? How about D captain Terrel Bernard, whom Buffalo found in the 3rd round in 2022. Spencer Brown (3rd round), James Cook (2nd round) and Christian Benford (6th round). Should I continue? Because I can. Now, let's not even start on Trey Smith. He was a consensus top-3 round talent, but teams took him off their boards due to medical concerns. Want to tell me how medical evaluations work in pro sports? Be my guest—I promise one of us actually knows, and the other doesn’t. You want to call Greg Rousseau a reach at 30? Cool. What a wild way to evaluate someone who was a top-10 edge rusher in 2024. Speaking of "reaches," how’s Kingsley Suamataia doing? Didn’t he get benched for three different LT options? What’s Felix Anudike-Uzomah up to? His first two seasons are worse than Boogie Basham’s. But go ahead, hype up drafting Skyy Moore and Clyde Edwards-Helaire while you're at it. Fans like me can think rationally instead of spinning narratives to cope with not being Kansas City. Newsflash: I want to win too. I actually agree—good is the enemy of great. But that’s not the issue here. The real conversation? All-Time is the enemy of great. That’s the part you just can’t comprehend.
  14. Thanks for clarifying what you meant by "stopping KC." "Stopping" is often used to mean hindering or preventing progress, like not letting them advance past the Bills. But of course, anyone who speaks English totally got it, right? 😅
  15. Haha, who stops KC "all the time actually" ? Cincinnati, Tampa and New England 1x each? Or are you going to reference regular season? That will be fun...

  17. Save it, Ryan. So do the other ***** 31 teams. Chiefs "elite" players drafted outside of Mahomes are Kelce (2013) and Jones (2016) - Veach wasn't even the ***** GM for those drafts. Adjustments need to be made, and have been made in each subsequent season since McDermott and Beane have been here. I'm sorry they happen to exist during what is going to be the greatest dynasty in NFL history. McBeane are really ***** good, and KC is All-Time great. In the history of the league, really ***** good gets it done in every other era.
  18. Jesus Christ, there are 65 replies in this thread and 1/3 of them are the same 3 ***** miserable people whining like children.
  19. Cris Collinsworth, when did you get here?
  20. We didn’t have Spencer Brown playing Week 11. Spencer Brown playing this week is a bigger swing than Taylor Rapp being out.
  21. They're incredibly strong, but they have had some absolute duds this year against some not so good teams. (H) Lost to Atlanta 22-21 in Week 2 (R) Beat New Orleans 15-12 in Week 3 (Didn't score until Q4) (H) Beat Cleveland 20-16 in Week 6 (Tied 13-13 in Q4) (H) Beat Jacksonville 28-23 in Week 9 (1 score game pretty much all game and in Q4) (R) Beat Carolina 22-16 in Week 14 (Trailed in Q4) Those teams have a combined record of 25-60. The Eagles averaged 20.8 PPG and allowed 17.8 PPG - average margin of victory was 3 points. Also, remember that they blew a 2 score lead by giving up 22 points in the 4th quarter against Washington this year.
  22. WR Keon Coleman CB Kaiir Elam LB Edefuan Ulofoshio OL Will Clapp OL Spencer Brown TE Dalton Kincaid Three pretty big inactives on that list... none bigger than Spencer Brown. Although Van Demark held his own at RT.
  23. Milano was subbed out for a dime look. He was not hurt.
  24. Yeah, if you ignore the two terrible turnovers 😂
  25. Oh, so what do you evaluate things based off of? Forgive me that I forgot you sit and watch the Rams All-22 footage every week 😂
