I hate to be negative in an otherwise fun topic, but who the hell had Allen ranked 9th?!
Has to be somebody that’s looking at longer term production. I could see the argument that one year should not vault you to elite status. I mean, in all honesty, if you look around the league, there could be arguments, based on long(er) term success for:
Maholmes
Rodgers
Wilson
Watson
Brady
Jackson 🤣🤮
Ryan
Dak
Baker
Cousins
and I’m sure Tannehill is mindlessly thrown in for some people.
they all have a longer resume than Allen in terms of “success”. I don’t agree with it, but I can see where the argument comes from. I could see somebody, non-biased, ranking him anywhere from #2 to #6 and I could not blame them. For me, the only clear cut pick is Maholmes is #1. After that, take your pick of Rodgers, Allen, Watson, Wilson and even though I don’t think he quite belongs in the conversation anymore, Brady. It’s all about opinion on those guys.

Let’s get real, a full team of back ups is getting rolled by most any team. The one advantage the Bills do have is MT at backup, to me, he’s the best backup in the league, he’s not the guy you WANT to start, but he is better than Tyrod ever was and there were plenty of people arguing Tyrod was the solution at QB. The nice part is, if Josh is out, the whole game plan does not have to be altered. It’s a nice place to be in for once. I sure hope it’s not the case, but the guy could be a Nick Foles type, where you don’t fall apart if the starter goes down.

Well it sounds like Beane is coming out of camp with 9 OL and 3 new draft picks in 2022.

I got jumped and sucker-punched by 3 dudes the night before the game (@ 2AM). Then kicked in the face (apparently). That's what some bystanders told me when the firemen woke me up with smelling salt. Broken tooth, scrapes and cuts on face, and a concussion. Still made it to the game the next day though... to watch.... you guessed it... the Music City Miracle. Needless to say, worst weekend of my life. Oh, and I had just started a new job the Thursday before and couldn't go in on my first Monday and Tuesday after.
yikes, that sucks.

Yeah.. they might give it to him, simply because it’s more than cutting him.
if take a flyer on him for the PS, not sold he’s any better than the guys at the bottom of this roster. Would have to thinks he would be NO BETTER than #4 here, that’s assuming he made progress.

What are tickets going for on the resale market right now?
I got first row in the third level around the 40 yard line, $215. There are a lot worse seats out there for WAY more, but I wanted to go and those were the best value by a long shot, not much for under $200 right now.

You can’t forget that Buffalo tickets are some of the cheapest in the league and you are looking at a time when demand is high because everyone is tired of being cooped up. I paid like $135/ticket for the Steelers about 6 years ago, for decent seats, I’m not real shocked to see that be up.

I’m excited to go see a new stadium and see what TN fans are like to the outsiders. I’m sure it’s going to be a good time, hope everyone is healthy and it is a great game, that the Bills win obviously.

Well, pretty much everyone drafted is a potential bust, especially guys you take for a premier position at the bottom of the draft. I can’t say either guys is who I would have picked at those spots, but I’m hopeful they got it right.

That's when he makes the tackle. What is the stat on shooting the wrong gap?
Or being looked off by the QB to give up huge gains over the middle. Stats don’t tell crap. Poz was a backeling machine too and Jacksonville got to enjoy that mess while paying him way too much. I hope the Bills are wise enough to judge him fairly, not just sign him bc they drafted him and don’t want to admit a mistake, but the 5th year option pick up already shows they are attached.

Aside from Maholmes, who else has that many wild plays in a career, much less in the time he’s been around? So much fun to watch, terrifying at times, but fun.

Absolutely concur. And thankfully as Cover 1 explained, the running game on the back half of the season went to a more zone scheme and moved away from power. Moss thrives in zone and Singletary struggled. Whereas in power Devin was more productive and Moss struggled.
We need to go with zone and run with Moss.
I think DS would be able to adapt to a zone scheme, Moss pretty much is the perfect back for Zone, he’s very North/South and will break arm tackles all day. DS is used to hiding behind his block and then bursting out, he’s just got to understand how that works in Zone, you ride the shoulder, not the rear and blast into the seam, not the open field. It’s a different thing, but I don’t see why he couldn’t, he’s not really a dancer, he’s just got crazy quick moves, which could work. Shady would never work because he had no discipline to hit the right hole and trust it to open, he ALWAYS looked outside and for the open field. He sucked between the tackles for good reason, he wanted home runs not doubles, but when it was goal line, he could find the seam and slip through, that’s the whole zone scheme. DS can do that and with his low center of gravity and suddenness, combined with the fact he’s a little bowling ball, I see no reason he couldn’t be VERY good at it. Will he? That’s another question all together.

I really think the blocking scheme needs to be looked at, this team is built for a Zone Scheme and try’s to play road grader, which just doesn’t cut it. Morse is crazy athletic, and the Guards aren’t big enough to run over real interior players, they need to quit pretending they have the personnel for a smash mouth style run game. More pulls etc would be great, instead the RBs are primarily trying to get back to the LoS at this point. They are pretty good pass blockers, but I was pretty disappointed to see them not try to upgrade the O-line this offseason.

He absolutely can, he's really raw there too. Only one season having college amenities, and probably not the best diet options. Hes tall and lean. No reason at all he can't fill out like Campbell has!!
I would love to see him have a career like Campbell, hopefully finding it a little earlier. The thing is, I look at him and what I have seen of him on the field, I see JJ Watt. I think he could be an absolute monster working in a hybrid role where you don’t know where he’s coming from. He might not have elite speed, but that length and he will add a lot of strength, coming from the inside, he’s trouble. Now, obviously, that guarantees nothing because we are taking about 2 of the best players we have seen in decades and hoping he gets there, but if he puts in the work, he has the tools.

To be 21 and that big already, wow. Campbell has added a LOT of weight over the years. Look at him, his rookie season and there’s where Rousseau sits now.

C’mon man, that list is REALLLY questionable. I appreciate the JA spot, but Rodgers is still the man. There’s a lot of love for guys who have never been on an NFL field and hate for 1st ballot HOF QBs on this list.

Not really. That's a select group of TEs outside of Knox.
Basically, Knox is a camp body for them. I kid, I kid, but he’s one of the few with the athletic ability to run with those boys, he has the tools to be elite, maybe they can help him harness it.

I have a list of guys I’m rooting for and hoping for big jumps.
Dane Jackson - love what he brought last year, wanted to see more, he’ll have a shot at starting.
Obada, exciting athlete, not sure where he fits with all the additions to DE, but I expect he will get a good opportunity to make some noise.
Knox, break out year. The tools are awesome, has to get that ball to his hands before he runs. If he can get that focus down, we could have a Kelce TYPE of player, not that level of elite, but even half of that would be awesome.
Josh Allen, get this as a dark horse, he could become the only QB to get 3 receivers to 1000 yards in a season since 2008 and there’s the incredibly unlikely scenario they could get 4.

If he is legitimately afraid of Covid bc of his heart condition, he’s smart to minimize his exposure as much as possible. I can’t blame him.

Always thought OJ Howard would be a great upside guy if he put it all together.
Would love to have him, but at this point he’s proven to be nothing more than Knox, not sure that’s the guy you hang your hat on.

I’m interested to see if they do t come out and try playing a “light” line package. Something like AJ/Boogie, Rousseau, Oliver, Hughes. Bring the safeties up, try to create quick pressure and make the LBs responsible for runners, have Poyer as the in box type to clean up in case a team tried to run up the gut.

His re-structured contract is basically untradable for the Bears. $38m in dead cap... even spread over 2 years is insane. Acquiring team would only have $2m cap hit for Mack in 2021. Not happening.
Maybe it’s another restructuring, then trade lol, seems impossible, but if it was, I’d trade next years 1st and 3rd for him.

You are confusing my point. I am talking about holes. Holes being spots where a team has someone who is unproven as an NFL level starter at the spot pencilled in to start - the Bills return 21 of their 22 starters (everyone except John Brown who has been replaced by a proven vet). Kansas City has lost starters in spots where as a result they will start rookies or guys who have lost starting jobs elsewhere. That is a hole. I am not arguing the Bills are better. Case in point - I don't disagree that Frank Clark is a better proven defensive end than anyone on the Bills to the extent that he makes up for the fact they are weak at the other end spot - but the other end spot is still a hole.
Fair enough, if that’s the perspective you are working from, your argument holds water.
I disagree with the assertion the Bills have less holes, but I believe the Bills have clear holes at DE, 1Tech DT, RG, LG, TE, RB1, CB2. My definition of a hole is a below league average at a position or an unproven player taking the starting role, ie rookie. For me, the Bills lack a LOT of talent at key positions, JA covered a lot of it last year, but when the heat got turned up, it became more obvious.

I don’t know, I think he needs to raise his back elbow up on the drop, get over the ball more, those balls are high and late, it will never work in the NFL, but we all knew he could never be accurate.
