Spot on. Josh has gone from a QB who didn't help his blockers (and often hurt them) with ill-advised movements into a QB who is one of the best in the league at helping his blockers through his pocket movements. As you said, the progression is stunning but Josh has a crazy capacity for improvement that is very rare for a QB.

I'll give you another hour... 2 minutes per team should be sufficient time...

I think you're onto something. I've noticed Josh makes his pass protection look better than it is. Not only is he getting the ball out more quickly than ever before, he also moves in ways that strengthen the pocket instead of weakening it like many unaware quarterbacks do. Josh rarely moves into a sack and he has that "up and down the ladder" move which seems to help his blockers.

In consideration of the fact that the OP named names, you guys got any OL names in mind?

Regardless of OBJ and the fact that football and basketball roster building are like night and day, did you feel the same way about the Von Miller signing? Legit point. What of the concerns from those saying that the Bills are one injury to a boundary receiver from having a serious problem? Good post... thank you.

Legit question. It was a bit mysterious that he had an excellent 2020 season at tackle, to the point the team gave him a 3 year contract. Then he played poorly at tackle in 2021 but still salvaged the season by playing deccently at guard. I have two theories... the Bills were unhappy with his physical condition after he signed the new contract and/or Aaron Kromer doesn't view him as a system fit.

I've been calling him the Anorexic Metrosexual for a few years now. He's clearly undernourished but I also wonder how much "work" he's had done. It's tough being one of the beautiful people.

Source tells me their sources have told them sources have confirmed GM Brandon Beane has feelers out to MULTIPLE teams. ????? Now there's some real quality work right there. Not sure if the writing is worse or the "journalism." It's no wonder this country is in decline. Read crap like that long enough and you'll be back to coloring books in a few months. Yes... the moral of the story (again) is that It's always better to read through AND THEN post... Or as a construction foreman might say, "what you're looking for isn't always gonna be on the top." Considering they were in Carolina when he was taken 8th overall, McBeane likely loves McCaffrey... it's likely the Bills saw which direction things were going and dropped out early. The Niners are not going to cut McCaffrey under any circumstances. It's not in the realm of possibility.

Everyone should read this article to get a glimpse of the kind of person Daniel Snyder really is. This magnitude of shytheadedness is extremely rare: https://www.businessinsider.com/the-14-worst-business-practices-of-redskins-owner-daniel-snyder-2010-11#in-2006-vendors-at-fedex-field-sold-bags-of-peanuts-originally-made-and-packaged-for-independence-air-the-airline-had-been-out-of-business-for-more-than-a-year-5

You can see he's packed on some muscle, particularly in his lower body. It's awesome that in his 8th NFL season he's reached a higher level of performance. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a career best year.

Trevor Hoffman and Mariano Rivera were both great closers... but couldn't be different stylistically. Hoffman kept throwing that change up (has any other pitcher built such a career on the change?) whereas it seems like Rivera broke bats with that cutter every time I saw him pitch. Both Josh Allens are great football players so they have that in common too. And now I get to be the 6th person in 3 pages to point out that it's Tracy Hoffman, Trevor's wife that's from Buffalo.

Filthy Beast... is that you? Anyways you know what they say when you have two quarterbacks...

Anyways the suspense is killing me! It's almost all I can think of... who do the Bills play this weekend?

ink things changed There's MILFs and then there's 75 years old. Cheryl Tiegs is the latter. Just sayin...

Nevertheless I stand by what I said. Good CBs are hard to find and if Hyde and Poyer were good CBs they'd still be playing that position. As for next year I'm not convinced Jaquan is gonna be a good safety... I'm more sure Hamlin will be. And it certainly wouldn't surprise me if they drafted a safety. We shall see.

The Bills D has given up fewer yards than with Tre last year because the D-line is substantially better. Add Tre to a defense with Von Miller, an improved Greg Rousseau and Daquan Jones there's no telling what heights they'll reach. I was surprised to see you write this Shaw. They won't take one of the best and most highly-paid nickel corners in the league and make him a backup safety. Last year before White was injured in week 12 the Bills were playing man coverage around 38% of the time which is the highest figure in the McDermott era. White was also used in man-zone combo more than ever last year... which allowed him to "travel" with opposing WRs. I disagree with those who say Benford will transition to safety soon. While he's a good fit for safety, corners who can play corner rarely transition to safety until late in their careers after they've lost a step. I view Benford as that unicorn large CB like Richard Sherman who can matchup against players like Mike Evans, Courtland Sutton, and Michael Thomas.

I totally agree with you about Brandon Marshall. I find him to be a very intelligent and charismatic person who has admitted his flaws and has great self-awareness.

My wife said to not give them my credit card number. I told her there was nothing to worry about. THEN I saw this post. *****!!!

Please don't bring up Brian Moorman... it brings back traumatically bad memories...

Some context from yesterday's The Athletic: "While it’s true the Bills play zone most of the time, so does almost every other team in the NFL. As they have added defensive talent since the start of the McDermott era, the Bills evolved into calling man coverage at the 11th-highest rate from 2019 through 2021, according to TruMedia and Pro Football Focus. (However against the Rams) Defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier and a revamped defensive line ran zone coverage a whopping 92.4 percent of the game. It was a 32.1 percent increase from the Bills’ regular season zone rate in 2021 (60.3%)." As far as your concerns about drafting a situational player in the first round, the Bills obviously don't view Elam as a situational player. They view him as a player who will excel in the 40% of man coverage snaps and a player with elite traits who they can coach up to excel in zone schemes. Most Bills fans view McFrazier as "defensive back whisperers" who have a long track record of taking "average talent" and moulding that talent into productive secondaries. As a first rounder the Bills expect to develop Elam into a starting shutdown corner who can excel in zone as well as "travel" with opponents top receivers and win that matchup.

A word as long as abbreviations oughta... well, you know... NM = nonmetallic aka Romex

Salute!

And as posted in the related thread, the interception to McKenzie happened at the 24 yard line whereas the fumble by Moss happened at the 16 yard line. There's no plausible scenario where those two drives end in punts.
