    Jalen Ramsey doesn't have a problem with Buffalo now, would you?

    But there is 1 problem we don't want you!!

    You don't want the best CB in the league? Interesting.

     

    Edit: some of the responses in this thread are hilarious. I can get not liking the guy, personally, but that doesn't make him a subpar player. If you would pass on Jalen Ramsey opposite White, you are insane. This is separate from the salary issue (the actual reason this can't happen).

    We’re DOOMED!  Just kidding Boxcar. I’m just reading you’re post and the madness remark sounded like a 1950’s movie.

     

    I agree Beasley is absolutely a better WR than McKenzie.  The crappy reality is not knowing how much will Beasley keep to his remarks. Will he really retire or Will he back down from his comments.  I don’t want to hijack into a vacc. Conversation but this relates solely to his ability to play and impact our team on the field.  Him not getting vacc. Is a personal choice, but the NFL will suspend him or at least fine him if he doesn’t comply with the protocols.  The NFL is not going to change Protocols for one vocal player even if others quietly agree.

     

    I hope he comes around with the testing, etc as I’d hate to lose him, and respect his personal choices as

    long as it doesn’t hurt the team.

    I would be shocked if Beasley puts himself above the team. He's never seemed like that kind of guy.

     

    I know a lot of players who would be complaining about salary in Beasley's place after the last two years he's had but not a peep. He's never been a distraction before and I do believe he was frustrated and decided to vent, and won't be a distraction going forward.

     

    I will say that I think the way he's been mocked and vilified has been pretty vile. He's been an exemplary teammate and professional his entire career and that's all out the window now, it seems.

    I think a guy who has proven he can do a number of things the Bills value who they have brought back two offseasons running is going to make the roster. Lock? No. But he is in the middle category of guys who very much have a job to lose. Bubble guys are guys who need to win a job. The three guys you mention are all bubble guys IMO. For McKenzie not to be the Bills 5th or 6th receiver both Stevenson and Hodgins will have to overtake him. I think that is a long shot. 

    Ok, I guess we just differ on the use of "bubble" since I do think it's likely he makes the team.

    Jay Skurski indicate Cole could be a potential cut given our depth of slot receivers and his vaccine stance / his injury issues. To me, the guy is a warrior who played through a broken leg, so being injured but still suiting up and playing well is the whole best ability is availability thing.

    https://heavy.com/sports/buffalo-bills/cole-beasley-could-be-surprise-cut/

     

    USAToday ranked the top slot recievers and A Buffalo Bill placed 7th, but it was Mckenzie not Cole that go the nod from Doug Farrar. I actually found it odd that jarvis Landry was not on this list more than Cole not being on the list, but ...

    I Like Isaiah a lot, but when it is crunch time, Josh looks for one of three people to make a play, Stefon, Cole, and himself with his legs).

     

    I do not see us letting either Cole or Isaiah go this year. Next year, well maybe next year.

     

    This is absolutely insane and solely fueled by this writer not liking Cole's stances on certain things.

     

    How did we go from McKenzie being on the bubble to him supplanting the best slot WR in the NFL? It's madness.

    The drop that drove Bills' Gabriel Davis to tears ... and fueled his breakout rookie season

    Davis is such a huge piece to the puzzle of the Bills long-term success. He's really the only youthful receiver we have on the roster that already has shown legitimate potential. Davis breaking out into a legitimate #2 or 1B receiver to Diggs by the completion of the 2022 season would be huge.  He had a knack for TD's his rookie year. His total of 7 should have been 9. I believe he had one each called back in the Titans and second Jets game each due to illegal procedure penalties. 

     

    There was another one where he was incorrectly called OoB short of the goal line that the Bills didn't challenge.

    RB is a really GLARING need, right?

    Seem to misunderstand the post. I'm a Feliciano fan. Made that clear in multiple posts. But the other OG is a mess and C is not settled. I also clearly pointed out that Moss ran better in a zone scheme. 4.6 > 2.8. That is basic math. My consensus is that better linemen = better balance = better for Josh Allen. Also pretty clear.

     

    The Buffalo Bills went from power blocking to zone blocking around week 5 or 6. That is also clear to many people. It helped Moss, maybe Singletary. Moss went from 2.8 YPC to 4.6 YPC. 0 TD to 4 TD. He went from 1:4 carries to 1:1 carries as ratio in that time. I can't explain this easier.

     

    Also clear to most people; Spain, a very good power blocker was off the team shortly after the switch to zone blocking, even though Spain was re-signed the prior offseason. Oops. This created a NEED at OG. Obvious right?

     

    For the draft:

    Humphrey was the consensus #1C in the draft by everyone. He was there at Buffalo's 2nd round pick. The fact Andy Reid took 0 time to take him two picks later says everything. Andy Reid seems to agree with me. Andy Reid is a terrible dad, but knows something about NFL offense. Our starting C is a shot to the head away from being out of the league forever. I worry about his long term health. It may have been wise to draft his replacement now, instead of later. But hey, who wants to plan for the immediate future at round two???

     

    Wyatt Davis was a consensus #1 or #2 OG in the draft. He went a pick or two before Buffalo's pick in the 3rd, Ben Cleveland (OG) was also there. Baltimore, who drafts well, took Ben Cleveland the pick right after Buffalo took a project OT. I guess me and Baltimore Ravens GM Eric DeCosta agree too.

     

    I also knew ditching Teller was a mistake, as much as sticking with Ford is now. Doesn't take a genius.

     

    1. Quinton Spain started two games last year and then barely played until his release. This does not coincide with your timeline.

     

    2. Good teams draft busts all the time. The draft is a crapshoot. Your appeals to authority mean nothing. By that post, you're also implying that the Bills have an inferior front office because they didn't take who ESPN told you was the best available player.

     

    3. I was implying that the improvement in rushing numbers coincided more with replacing Winters, who sucked, with Feliciano rather than a change in scheme.

    Easy Augie. I was mostly agreeing with you. The OL and run blocking scheme is the biggest hurdle the Offense has.

     

    IOL should have been a higher draft priority. Do we not agree?

    Bills passed on Wyatt Davis (OG) 3x and Creed Humphrey (C) 2x.

    Both safe bets to be NFL starters for a decade.

     

    I'm not convinced it has been figured out, and they may have passed on some very good OL this draft because of it.

    Around week 5 Buffalo went from Power/Man to Zone blocking. It definitely helped Moss.

     

    I was right about Moss and wrong about Singletary. Took some time to break it out by game log.

    Considering Weeks 1-5 as power blocking (TN game) vs zone blocking (KC and after)

     

    Moss:

    Week 1-5

    C      YDS    AVG    TD

    17     48       2.8      0

    Week 6-16

    95     433    4.6      4

    Clearly better, eyes don't lie Augie. Almost double the AVG Per Carry. That is what I saw and the stats prove it.

     

    I have been wrong about Singletary though.

    Singletary:

    Week 1-5

    C       YDS   AVG   TD

    61      238    3.9     1

    Week 6-16

    95     449    4.7     1

     

    The move to zone blocking helped both backs. This created a better time share between Moss and Singletary.

    Moss was rated as one of the best blocking RBs in the NFL by multiple sources.

    In a passing scheme you go with the better blocker who has a similar YPC.

    Breida is a home run threat in a zone scheme.

    Moss is proving to be a blocking beast with a better nose for the end zone.

     

    Singletary is still the odd man out, and IOL should have been addressed. Hoping for Lamp to look good.

    Did this not coincide with the return of Feliciano, who is a decent run blocker?

     

    I also don't understand how you presume to know more than pro scouts. How do you know Humphrey and Davis are locks to have long careers, but Spencer Brown isn't?

    Can anyone explain to me why CEH is so highly regarded? We are crapping on Singletary for having a bad year, and in that bad year he had the same ypc as CEH, around the same number of receptions and slightly less reception yards yet CEH ranks 17 and Singletary 31. I don't get it. People seem to act like he's a lot better than he actually is.

    Chris Sims says that Gred Rousseau and Boogie Basham are on this top 5 draft bust list

    Here are the relevant snippets for those who don't/can't click the link:

     

    Gregory Rousseau, DE, Rd 1, Pick 30, Bills. “To me, he’s totally a measurables guy. I don’t know how you can look at the film and see a top-30 pick. You’d see times where he’d wind up with a sack because someone ran right into him. There wasn’t a sense that his opponents were worried about him.”

    I honestly don't care at all what Chris Simms thinks and all the things like that, but this is such a lazy, incorrect take.

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbiCgsVVX-0

     

    I can't believe Simms just boils it down to sacks, and even then "sure, he got sacks but they weren't real sacks and everything like that"

     

    I don't care about his comments or whether he thinks Rousseau will be the best or worst edge in the league, but I can't stand stupid, lazy takes from guys who get paid to give them, especially when he's usually more nuanced.

    Did you misread my post? I never said GMs were the source of "leaks", and nothing about any front office (and I'm fully aware a NFL front office has more than 2 ppl).

     

    I responded to you saying where you thought the Ertz leak came from, and you said maybe Eagles or Ertz agent. My reply was imo it started with the media and a woman that posted about a Bills trade/

     

    I mean I don't know why in the world you just came up with this here about GMs and front office.... lol

    I didn't say anything about where the leaks came from. No idea what you're talking about.

    I think it's the media and the ones that tweet etc more than the eagles. That's where it started anyways, a tweet or insta, or whatever, a while back, like couple moths ago or so.....was a woman that sort of started it. She didn't exactly say Ertz name but if not mistaken it was implied Bills trading with a team involving a big time TE that was said. I don't remember the exact words but I do recall her saying it was a popular player or TE and Bills were said to be getting him. So naturally Ertz was only "big name TE" that could be dealt, or was the most popular. So with that the rumors/talks began.

     

    Also said something like, if Bills do get this player, she would become a big Bills fan. That's when this started because Ertz talk started right then.

     

    So imo I think more likely came from that than Eagles, Ertz agent etc.

    And I agree, it certainly didn't come from them

    GMs are almost never the source of leaks. The front office is more than two people.
