If he is truly back to form, Hamlin was a fine backup/depth safety. He played better than Jaquan Johnson, Cam Lewis and Marlowe for sure.
I don’t think he was really consistent enough to be a starter, but we have All Pro Po’ and Hyde back anyway.
Curious who is going to be our MLB. It kind of goes against Beane’s philosophy so far to draft a MLB and pencil them in as day 1 starter. I would expect at least some kind of vet signing there.
Backup QB in the middle-late rounds of the draft. A high floor, low ceiling type guy. You basically hope he can be a game manager and not turn the ball over if Allen goes down.
Getting Poyer back on an affordable deal would be great, if his pride would allow it. When he is healthy he is an impact player. We could still draft a safety, but that would allow us to go with more of a project to learn in a backup role.
I do kind of wonder if the team is all-in on Benford as starting S next year though…
Are we bringing back Jordan Phillips, or what? When he was healthy the defense played a lot better imo. Same goes for Shaq Lawson.
Or are we hoping the youth can produce this year?
If I had to value pass blocking or run blocking more, I go pass blocking every time. We have to keep Allen upright and not running for his life every play. Can Ike and Bates handle the other guard position? Can we upgrade RT?
They need to get this guy involved in the offense, or cutting him would have been the right move. We can’t afford the luxury of a high cap special teams player. If he can produce as a receiving/third down back, then it is a good deal.
I don’t think he’s going anywhere. I think he is just messing with us. Cowboys only have a better chance than the Bills to make a SB because they play in the weak NFC if that is his ultimate goal. Bills are the better team.
If we spend our cap in FA and trades for the offense, then I would be okay with drafting defense. No matter how you slice it, we need a legit Saffold replacement and WR2. I don’t really care where they come from.
Gotta agree. Whatever keeps him engaged at work and still actively involved in the Bills is good. I’d rather this than streaming on Twitch until Thanksgiving when he’s ready to return.
