    All it will take is the slightest hiccup by McKittrick and OBJ will be signed. 

     

    McKenzie plays in the slot, OBJ plays on the outside. McKenzie has no barring on whether or not OBJ will be signed.

    Obj dosnt seem like a process/culture guy mcd would want. 

     

    He was fine in LA on a winning team with a quality QB. Looking at how Cleveland is/was being run, how Mayfield was playing, and how he reportedly was behind the scenes - I'd say he was justified in forcing his way out.

    Wait, people actually want Beckham on the Bills?

     

    If you watched him play for LA last season, especially in the Super Bowl - why wouldn't you?

     

    When you look at this depth chart, you see an abundance of slot WR's. While Diggs and Davis are a more than solid 1-2 punch, there isn't much, if anything, outside of them. 

     

    They aren't going to be on the field for every play and God forbid one of them gets hurt. If a talent like Beckham wants to join up and you can do it, why wouldn't we?

  3. Everyone says doing work before 9 months post surgery is playing with fire. He had his surgery 12/10. That would have him returning to practice 9/10. They aren't going to just throw him straight into the starting lineup on Game Day. He'll probably need a week or two of Practice.

     

    So I see Week 3 as the absolute soonest he could possibly come back. Probably closer to Weeks 4-6 to be safe.

    Van Jefferson had 800 yards and 6 TD last year..............he's the Rams third option behind record setting Cooper Kupp and 3x 1000 yard receiver Allen Robinson.

     

    How is a young 800 yard, high pedigree, versatile talent like Jefferson not a better player than Isaiah McKenzie?   

     

    Jefferson got most of those numbers playing when Odell wasn't in LA. Odell only played 8 games for LA last season. When Odell arrived, Jefferson was pushed down the depth chart. I'd imagine it would be the same if he returned there. Wherein here, I don't see them reverting Davis back to the role he had before for Odell.

     

    Kupp and McKenzie work out of the Slot. Odell is an outside guy. So he's either taking a starting role or rotating with Diggs and Davis or Robinson and Jefferson. He'd get more playing time on the boundary in LA.

    Maybe OBJ has interest, but that doesn't mean the Bills do. Guess we'll see.

     

    This is where I'm at. I don't doubt OBJ has interest. I don't doubt Von wants him here. I don't doubt Andre Reed wants him here.... but none of that matters if Beane feels happy with his WR room as it is. And looking at the depth chart and the cap situation, I feel like he's happy with his WR room.

    We have quantity, but not necessarily quality. Spencer Brown is still recovering from his injury from last season and we don't have a good replacement. If there's a good veteran OT cut, we need to bring them in. We need a veteran like we had with Ty Nsekhe who can fill in without hampering our offense.

     

    Spencer Brown returned to practice today and he'll be ready for the start of the season. David Quessenberry is the 'Ty Nsekhe' level OT Beane chose amongst all other options available. These are the guys he chose and felt fit the team best. He's not just going to keep signing O-Line talent until he finds one that Allen2Diggs is happy with.

    Who starts aside from saffold when ready? 

     

    The starting line is without question LT Dion Dawkins, LG Rodger Saffold, C Mitch Morse, RG Ryan Bates, and RT Spencer Brown.

     

    I believe you're asking who the RG will be. If they didn't believe Ryan Bates could duplicate the production he had last season when in that role, they never would have matched the long term offer he signed with the Vikings, who were signing him to start. If they thought of Bates as a backup on this team, they'd have let him walk and gotten a cheaper alternative.

    We don't have much cap room left and I'd rather spend that on o-line depth to protect our franchise qb.

     

    There is currently *18* Offensive Lineman on the roster.


    They signed Rodger Saffold, David Quessenberry, Greg Mancz, Greg Van Roten, Jordan Simmons, and Bobby Hart. They re-signed Ryan Bates and Ike Boettger. They drafted Luke Tenuta and signed Alec Anderson, Derek Kersetter, and Tanner Owen as UDFA's.

     

    You aren't going to see any more moves on the O-Line. They've already addressed it HEAVILY.

    Until Tre White is on the field making plays again, and we have Elam and Jackson as the projected starting corners, I can't see the harm of bringing Waynes, Haden, Harris, Rhodes, or Sherman in.

     

    Their experience and understanding of the position, schemes, and other player tendencies alone is worth shuffling a few dollars to one of them and bring that vet presence alongside Hyde and Poyer.

     

    I know that Haden has been reported as an interest to some current Bills.

     

    Has Beane brought any of these guys in for a visit?

     

    Training Camp ends in less than a week. If this were to happen, it would have happened by now. I don't see McDermott plugging a guy into start without having Training Camp to gel with the rest of the Defense under their belt.

    Reports have Slayton playing third team snaps in camp and it seems he’s on the outs in New York. He’d be a great fit for what we need here. We’re obviously lacking at outside WR, he’s a proven deep threat, and he’s shown he can produce in this league even with a bad QB throwing to him.  I’m not paying much (or ideally anything) but I think he’s at least worth a long look. 

     

    We already have more WR's than we know what to do with.

    I would argue that if Trubisky truly did turn the corner that Daboll would have brought him with him to the Giants.

     

    If you're Brian Daboll and the Giants, you're probably going to want to see what Daniel Jones can do in Year 4 and under them, after the investment the team spent on him. And to truly do that, you don't want him looking over his shoulder knowing that the new coach brought his own guy in. He either puts it together or (more likely) Daboll and Schoen pick their guy in next year's Draft.

     

    And on the flip side, if you're Mitch Trubisky - would you rather go to a team to compete in the Giants or go to a team that you're going to be handed the starting job this year in the Steelers?

  12. I'm an adult who collects autographs. If you don't understand the hobby, that's fine. There's a lot of hobbies I don't understand too. But to each their own.

     

    That said, as an adult collector, you need to know what your place is. And that is paying for scheduled meet and greet appearances for a set fee or ordering from places like TSE Buffalo for mail in signings. Training Camp autographs are for the kids. Everyone should know that.

     

    And even if you're someone who for whatever reason didn't know that, common decency would tell you as a grown adult you shouldn't be getting in the way of Children. And also the players make it very obvious with their actions at these functions what it's all about. 

     

    This guy is embarrassing.

    I suspect that the two "significants" above are incompatible. There may be significant interest, but not for significant money.

     

    Agreed. If there were interest and money that could be defined as "significant" - he'd be signed by now. I find it very hard to believe. Sounds like a media member helping out an agent to me.

    Bobby Wagner just signed for 5/$50M.  The 5th highest paid off the ball LB by AAV is Edmunds at $12.7M (if you count his 5th year option as a 1 year deal and not part of his 5 year rookie deal).  Anyone arguing that he’s a top 5 MLB who is better than Wagner?

     

    Bobby Wagner is 32 years old. Tremaine Edmunds is 24 years old. C'mon man, you have to be aware of how big of a factor age and tire tread is when it comes to signing a Free Agent. If that's the case, Jordan Poyer should get every penny (and probably more) that Minkah Fitzpatrick got.

     

    And I think agreeing that the position as a whole league wide is in rough shape thanks to today's offenses/QBs and still calling him a "middle of the pack" MLB is really downplaying his value.

     

    If you think a 24 year old, two time Pro Bowl MLB who has missed a total of 3 games in 4 seasons while being a playcalling Captain of the #1 Defense in the NFL is only worth "middle of the pack" money on the open market - I think you're WAY off base.

    • Thank you (+1) 1
  15. You all hate on Edmunds. But the fact is, MLB play league wide hasn't been great. It's why you all think he's just the worst while he made multiple Pro Bowls. Unless you have a Lavonte David, you'd be hard pressed to have anyone in the Middle that doesn't make you rip your hair out from time to time.

     

    Today's offenses and QB's are constantly putting MLB's in unenviable positions. And we have a Defense that more often than not utilizes 2 LB's instead of most teams 3 and some teams 4. The margin for error is massive. And I think the haters are reading too much into the fact that his extension hasn't come yet as them being on the fence. I'd bet it's just as simple as they have his extension in mind for next year's books and were focusing elsewhere this season.

     

    In fact, it wouldn't shock me one bit if while many of you are writing him off, they plan on Franchise Tagging him if they can't get a deal done before Free Agency next year.

    Watching him moving around and laughing with guys (which is extremely painful if you've ever had cracked ribs), I can't imagine he's in that rough of a shape that they're worried.

     

    But the fact remains if he misses even a couple weeks, that's most of Training Camp. I don't think it's a move that should make Thad or anyone think "uh oh, Rodger must be in rough shape" as much as it is we had an extra roster spot and we're down a Guard in Training Camp right now.

    But he scored WAY more often than Bledsoe. He averaged more yards than Bledsoe. He was more efficient than Bledsoe. He turned it over WAY less often than Bledsoe. He won significantly more than Bledsoe. Please elaborate on why your perception is that Bledsoe was better? What, specifically, did Bledsoe do better? 

     

    Bledsoe threw for 4,359 yards in 2002. He wasn't always great, especially down the stretch. But as a passer, Tyrod never came close to that. Bledsoe to Moulds was a scary connection in 2002. Arm talent, Taylor wasn't close to Bledsoe. Tyrod didn't win those games so much as he managed those games. Taylor plays not to lose. Cleveland started him and saw the same thing. He's an ideal keep the boat steady backup QB.

    Another argument I don’t understand is Fitz over Tyrod…. No ***** way. Fitz was reckless…I’ll take Tyrod and his some what conservative way of playing over Fitz any day of the week. 
     

    Have to agree…there is some racism in all of the Tyrod slander. 

    Ridiculous hyperbole… but I knew you had no idea what you were talking about when you put Bledsoe first. 😅

     

    Yes, there was some hyperbole there. But if you're saying you were watching him play, especially when we were behind, and didn't find yourself saying "just throw the f'n ball!" - I don't believe you.

     

    I'll take interceptions if you're trying to make something happen when you have to. Too often with Tyrod it felt like ball security and his low interception rate was more paramount than trying to win the game when it was on the line. There was zero attempt to try and force the issue when we needed it. With Josh, you never feel out of it. With Tyrod, you knew if we fell down by more than a TD - it was over.

     

    That's a big part of why I put Fitz and Bledsoe above him. They'd throw picks. But there was urgency in their game and those things often came with them trying to win a game. Tyrod was just way too safe and cautious. He was the QB that didn't lose you the game if the Defense and the Running game carried it. He was a game manager. 

  19. Drew Bledsoe, Doug Flutie, Ryan Fitzpatrick

     

    Lot of love for Tyrod. He's probably 4th on the list for me, but that's still not saying much. His style of play was so frustrating to watch. He was always being praised by commentators for never turning the ball over.... because he wouldn't throw the ball unless the WR was wide open, sitting in their route, and jumping up and down!

     

    Years of Tyrod Taylor prepared me wonderfully for the occasional bad pick arising from Josh's gunslinging.
