I think you’re right. At the end of the day you need players that can beat the man in front of them whether the other team knows it’s coming or not. I’m afraid we lack that at WR and Edge. Two “money” positions. But I’m having a typical Bills fan feeling: I hope I’m wrong…

Chase Claypool's nickname? We need one

My dad moved from Buffalo to NE Ohio and married my mom. When the Bills started to get good in the late 1980s and be on TV he started watching them regularly. I really fell in love with the team and all the personalities leading up to that first Super Bowl. That was the first of four January nights that I snuck off to the bathroom as a kid when the clock hit zeros to cover my face with a hand towel and shed some bitter tears. The Bills used to hold joint scrimmage with the Pittsburgh Steelers towards the end of training camp. We went a few times and I got to meet all the greats (Levy, Kelly, Thomas, Reed, BRUUUCE!!! etc) The last time we went was after the 4th Super Bowl loss. We went on the field afterwards and my dad went up to Ralph Wilson and said, “Hey Mr. Wilson, we gonna win a Super Bowl this year?” In Ralph’s perfect whiny old man voice he started to lecture my dad: “Do you have any idea what the odds are of going to a Super Bowl once? How about two, three, and four times?!” Haha… My dad was embarrassed and pissed but now it’s just funny to think about: my father got scolded by Ralph Wilson for wanting a Super Bowl win! Let that sink in!

Kaiir Elam discussing the last 2 years & his struggles...
NORWOODS FOOT replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall
In general I agree with you, with the one caveat that I felt ever since we drafted him that he was a square peg in a round hole. He has measurables and bloodlines and played in the SEC but aspects of his film sucked. Beane is generally a good evaluator of talent but whiffs in some patterned ways. I cringed the night we drafted him. Of the CBs left on the board after the McGuffie pick to the Chiefs, I wanted Tarik Woolen. I say give Elam one more chance (at corner and/or safety) but then dump him before the season if it isn’t working because he’s a liability to us winning a championship. -
A nut, over Elam's performance? Call me an optimist.

Never judge a book… but that one does look pretty grindy… 😂

Show up + embrace process = get paid. But seriously, does the dirty work and teammates love him. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Receivers are a Dime a Dozen
NORWOODS FOOT replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’ve been pretty outspoken about wanting the Bills to go all out to find Josh the best receivers they can. THAT SAID, if Kincaid takes a major leap into the stratosphere as one of the best big weapons in the NFL, then yes, that might just be enough to make this cast good enough. But I still wish we had at least one more sure fire guy on the outside. I think the benefit to our Offense would be exponential. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Receivers are a Dime a Dozen
NORWOODS FOOT replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
Others have already said as much, but… maybe kinda but not yet. 1) you must have skill position players that move the ball down the field… somebody’s got to do it and one position will get the most attempts as a group because… 2) because the NFL is setting up an environment for wide open offenses, receivers are the best skill position to move the ball down the field because they average way more yards per touch than the running backs, and they are more plentiful than top flight TEs You can win Super Bowls with lesser groups. I think of the Chiefs this year, but they have possibly the greatest TE of all time. So does that really count? Tom Brady did it with some lesser talent, but remember when the Patriots had Randy Moss and one year he had 23 TDs! Yes they stumbled in the Super Bowl to the Giants but they went 18-1 and slaughtered everyone until that point. Yes you need a franchise QB and must protect him, but that done, receivers are still the shiz on offense and the great ones can be absolutely lethal with a good supporting cast. -
Harrison Butker…oy vey…what a commencement “speech”
NORWOODS FOOT replied to eball's topic in Off the Wall
Well shucks, I guess he’s just gonna have to confess and get that wiped off his ledger. As long as you feel really bad and tell someone everything is going to be alright! -
Was the NBA considered bigger than the NFL in the 90s?
NORWOODS FOOT replied to BillsPride12's topic in Off the Wall
I think football was bigger but Michael Jordan was transcendent and every person in the country knew who he was. -
Harrison Butker…oy vey…what a commencement “speech”
NORWOODS FOOT replied to eball's topic in Off the Wall
Just another person full of self-conceit who thinks he knows the way everyone else should live. The only difference between him and the people he is railing against is that he hasn’t worked himself into a societal position of power to get to force people to be the way he wants them to be. He is mundane, average, and typical. But boy can he kick a ball! -
We got our Rudy! Now let him trot out there and take the final kneel down in a Super Bowl win!

Top 5 QB and Top 5 WR salary cannot coexist on a SB team
NORWOODS FOOT replied to Big Blitz's topic in The Stadium Wall
That’s just it. I realize Bean has his plan, but don’t you think Roman Wilson at 60 is a good bet to be one of our top 4 and done a lot for the team? Beane had other things prioritized higher than a second receiver. Not what I would have done. We shall see… -
Bills sign Chase Claypool, Smoot, Jones
NORWOODS FOOT replied to Dablitzkrieg's topic in The Stadium Wall
Re Claypool: yeah, okay, fine, but don’t pass up the chance to add a proven talent at boundary receiver if/when we get a chance.
