MVP vote - Josh got 2nd most votes
Ethan in Cleveland replied to CorkScrewHill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
All that talk about Wilson never getting a vote. And then it happens again in a year where he was the favorite to win it for at least half the season. -
Bills Asst. LB coach leaving for Vandy
Ethan in Cleveland replied to UConn James's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Lol he was my scapegoat for 2020 too. Hope he proves me an idiot and has a great 2021 in what will be a contract year for him. Its a very good academic school. Maybe that is the draw. Maybe he is a better recruiter than a coach. Maybe he just likes the college atmosphere better than the NFL. Could be lots of reasons. -
Two time SB winning coach. Long overdue. Good for him.

The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
Ethan in Cleveland replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Covering a TE in the zone at the MLB spot is entirely different than on the edge. It's not even comparable. Edmunds would be a terror at OLB. Every bit as good as KJ Wright in Seattle and probably even much better. -

Too bad he can't take Edmunds with him -
Joe B article speculates John Brown will be cut
Ethan in Cleveland replied to DJB's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Brown has great hands and is a very good WR. He has speed that Davis does not. They should keep him and try to redo his contract. This is a passing offense and they need all the playmaker they can find. Get another TE in the draft or FA. Brown should know if he gets cut he probably takes a big pay cut. Bills can't replace his skill set easily. In a perfect world he restructures his deal gets his guaranteed income this year and the Bills get some cap relief. Jefferson, Addison, Roberts, Klein, Murphy, Mantekevich, and Butler are the dead weight that the team needs to release or not re-sign. -
It's why the signing bonus is what is most important on a player's second and third deal. That is the difference between NFL nad MLB/NBA contracts. NFL players can get cut anytime no matter what their contract says. If they retire unexpectedly that's when the teams may try to get some of the bonus back. But it is a sunk cost for the team.

I'm a huge critic of Edmunds but he is a 3 year starter so it's fair to say he is a hit. Is he a star? No. I actually think he is a very poor MLB, but there are other first rounders that wash out of the league in three years or never start. Any draft that brings a HOF talent is far better than 2018 or any draft regardless of the rest of the draftees. Only time will tell on 2018.

The Great Tremaine Edmunds Debate
Ethan in Cleveland replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My thoughts about Edmunds have been well documented. Edmunds is a bottom 10 middle linebacker. His age is no longer an excuse. He is a 3 year starter in the NFL. He is not going to get any better reading defenses and making impact plays. Either he is not smart enough to play the position or he just lacks instincts. I don't care that he lines up the defense. Anyone can do that. I can't recall a single impact play from 2020 made by Edmunds. I still believe he would be a star at OLB. I don't know and in fact I doubt McD will move him to OLB though. Hope I am wrong. -
I'd be willing to keep him on a 3 - 4 year deal. I'd prefer signing him instead of tendering a one year offer. I would rather lock him up for a few years and spread out the cap hit. Bass is still cheap. So spending some money on the punter is fine. I'd favor spending on Bojo and letting Roberts walk. At some point these threads have to be about who you let go to make room for keeping guys. I like Roberts but any UDFA can do what he does. They will not be able to afford Roberts as a 6th WR next year.
