[Run Defense - Interesting Stats/Observations]

Stats aside.  Star and especially Edmunds were move around and pushed around all day long.   Oliver wasn't quite as bad.  It looked like the Eagles looked for Edmunds and either ran at him or threw at him constantly.  If you are able, watch the game again and look for that.  Edmunds has some mass to put on before next year.  Star has to go.

[Re-purposing Shady McCoy in the passing offense]

Renegotiate his salary or move him out in a trade or just waive him.  Not a full-time back anymore.

[Sean Kugler, Broncos OL coach not yet hired by TB, still looking?]

I have a little inside scoop from a good friend of McNally.  Peters was lazy and wouldn't work at all in the off-season.  McNally even used to show up at his house and offer to work out with him and he wouldn't do it.  So McNally tried to develop him, but he wasn't willing at that time.  That is why they let him go.

[Josh Allen---has your opinion changed on him since draft night?]

Significantly.  I didn't want him in the draft because accuracy rarely improves.   Not sure it will significantly improve but the "deep in" patterns have improved so there is hope.  Was not aware of his leadership abilities.  Was not aware he could run.  I have noticed him sliding in the pocket to avoid the rush as opposed to just taking off.  That is a huge improvement.  We finally have a QB who can run a QB sneak.  Can't remember a QB we had who could sneak since James Harris.  Very skeptical and now sold on at least next year.

[[Vague Title] If your the GM of the Bills.]

1. Keep both coordinators: Frazier is an easy pick.  My thinking on Dabol is that we have had 20 OCs in the last 18 years-some years we had 2.  Try some consistency.  This may help a young QB and every time you put a new system in you have to flip the roster to fit it and you lose another year. 

 

2. Draft positions that cost a lot of money QBs, Cornerbacks, pass rushers, Left Tackles.  Sign and pick up lesser positions: G, Linebackers, TE, Safeties, centers, DTs.  WRs. are wild cards.  Need a #1 WR?- draft them.  Trade down in the draft instead of up to acquire picks.  Draft QBs every year until you are sure you have the "one."  I don't think anyone should be sure about Allen yet.

 

3. Dead Weight and gone: Somewhat obvious-Clay, Ivory, Ducasse.

 

4. Think long and hard about:  Zay Jones, Shaq Lawson, John Miller, and Trent Murphy.  Zay is harmless cap wise but he may take snaps away from developing players.  Murphy continue to get hurt.  

 

5.  Trade MCoy to the highest bidder.  He may have one year left.  Some team may think he is a difference maker for a long run in the playoffs.  RBs relatively easy to find.

 

5. Special teams coach and OL coach gone. 

 

6. Be wary of Free Agents who had career years in the last year of their contracts, often injured Free Agents, and Free Agents who are in the second half of their careers.  

[Edmunds and Allen - Two Huge Misses in 1st Round]

If they are busts it will set the franchise back 10 years and cost McBeane their jobs.

[Shady benched for start of game?]

Stick a fork in Shady he's done.  He has gotten increasingly slow to hit whatever holes are there.  Yes it is the line, but he has become the worst back on the team the last 5 games.  Being outperformed by Keith Ford of all people.  Thank you and get out!

[Tremaine Edmunds: He was the worst player on the field Dec 23 (vs NE)]

Edmunds was awful. He was bullied all day.  Think he will have to add muscle mass to play inside.  My guess is he'll put on 20 lbs. by preseason.
