My off-season plan
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I get your point and it has validity. But cutting Brown weakens the one spot on the team you said needed no improvement. For one more year they can afford Brown assuming you spend on Williams at RT and let Milano go. Judging how they opted to play an injured Brown over a healthy McKenzie suggests the staff also feels Brown is valuable. They have the Kid from Oregon State to be the fifth or sixth guy Thanx. That is the balance I was going for. Reasonable choices. I can totally see going with Moss and Singletary again for one more year and spending all draft picks on OL/DL/LB/TE. -

Too vague? What is your plan? Too expensive. They need dollars The will need rookies and UDFA to play Special teams. -
My off-season plan
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You beat the Chiefs with pass rush and a slightly more balanced offense. Knox has to continue to develop and they need to find a better second option at TE. It's the same OL on paper, not the same OL that ever played together. Ford has more upside than any other interior OL and he hardly played last year. But you are correct he could be a bust. Feliciano missed half the year. Like I said I'm drafting a Center/Guard in round 2-4 to compete for a spot. Yes the same DBs. The safeties are fine. White, Johnson, Wallace, and Dane Jackson are fine for your top 4 DB's. -

My bad, I thought they all had a year left on their deals. Great all of them can go. Davis can not do all the things Brown can do. Davis was very good but he doesn't have the top end speed brown does. Hopefully Brown and Bills will find common ground. The DL will be better with most of those guys gone. Epenesa will be in year 2. The numbers will work out in the end. They will sign more than just on FA of course, I just highlighted that they need to sign at least one FA pass rusher. They will add a veteran TE, probably another veteran DB, and maybe decide to keep one of those other vet DL. -

I can probably live with Moss as the #1 next year too. But he is not a difference maker and does little to create yards when there is no hole. If Harris was still there at 30 and Williams was re-signed I probably take him, much like KC did last year. If Williams leaves via free agency, then they will need the first or second round pick to be an OT. -

Ford starts at guard. Feliciano is healthy. That is an upgrade already. On the DL, I'm drafting young guys to replace these aged overpriced guys that did next to nothing last year. Epenesa will be better and more involved. Like I said, also add one veteran DE. -
Sign Williams, Boettger, Bojo and if possible Feliciano. Boettger is cheaper but Feliciano is better. If they can get Feliciano on a good deal bring him back. I'm drafting a Center no matter what so I'm not committed that Feliciano needs to come back if the price is too high. Ford starts at on Guard spot anyways. Tender Wallace Cut Norman, Smith, Matakevich, Jefferson, Jones, Barkley, and Addison. Keep Butler and Kleine for one more year Let Milano, Yeldon, Norman, Jones, Barkley, and of course Murphy walk Keep Brown and Morse but restructure both deals. Give Diggs a token raise somehow - maybe some silly workout bonus money Sign one FA pass rusher and one veteran TE Draft Najee Harris, a TE, two interior OL preferably a true center, and 4 front 7 defenders Carry just two QBs next year. The Bills are doomed if Allen gets hurt so having 3 QBs is no use. I advocated for 3 last season but let Fromm hold the clip board and save money by cutting Barkley Extend Allen after the draft Hope McD moves Edmunds to OLB or Edmunds plays better. Did I miss anyone? i edited above for a few mistakes.

Tom Flores inducted in HOF
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good point. Seifert has a better record but only one title. I'd argue Flores did it with less talent and without a HOF QB. He should have been inducted with two wins before Levy with four losses. Now that Flores is in, the next tragedy that needs to be rectified is Coryell. -
WTF was up with the torcher ad for the car buying service Vroom. Seriously a guy tied to a chair with a guy holding jumper cables for a family SuperBowl event? What poor taste.

It's always been the key on defense. The Giants did it to Brady too. It only takes two better players in the front 7. They have enough depth already to let Addison, Butler, Murphy, and Jefferson all go. That still leaves Star, Hughes, Epenesa, Oliver, Philips, and Zimmer. Johnson can stay as the cheap 10th guy. That means they only need to sign 1 or 2 in FA and draft 1 or 2 to fill out the DL. As for LB the answer is staring them in the face. Move Edmunds to OLB and find a true MLB. Pass rush

Tom Flores inducted in HOF
Ethan in Cleveland replied to Ethan in Cleveland's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He won't get voted in next year. I could see a scenario 10 or 15 years from now where they vote him in as a senior candidate. If they want to recognize the beginning of the special teams specialist role in the NFL, they could vote him in as the first and one of the best. Don Coryell us now the most deserving guy not in the HOF
