Coach Tuesday

How about beating the Patriots? Or winning a playoff game?

I mean considering that the run defense still hasn't recovered from that trade, and he's a defensive specialist... he should really shut his pie hole.

Ok but it definitely sounds defensive. And some of those moves presumably were signed off on by his boss Terry. McD hasn't won anything yet - ANYTHING. He really should keep those thoughts to himself.

Said the guy whose boss tried to trade for AB...

If Star "doing is job well" means lazily leaning into his assigned gap and not easily being moved, which might very well be the case, that's great. Star mostly did his job on Sunday. I question why you pay a guy $10M/year to do that job, especially when all hell breaks loose if that guy ever has to move laterally. And don't even think of asking him to fire off the ball, because he can't quick-twitch.

I'm not sure Beane is ready...

Isn't it kind of the opposite?

Great - the LAST thing we need around here is another millennial.

You can't trade a player on IR, I don't think...

Why don't you start a new thread with actual examples from the all-22, instead of posting about it in the trade news thread.

That's totally wrong, I'm sorry. The biggest problem on offense - by far - is the lack of talent to create favorable matchups. Daboll hasn't been great (some great games, some terrible like Sunday) but he's had very little to work with. Bracket John Brown and the whole offense shuts down. That needs to change - they need a serious talent influx ASAP if this team is going to be competitive in December and January.

Bell to the Bills would tip the whole division in our favor. The Jets would be announcing to their locker room and the league that they're in full rebuilding mode under Gase - they'd implode for 2-3 years. The Dolphins are already there. Bell would force the Patriots to actually gameplan against the Bills on defense and would give Daboll a true chess piece to move around. He'd also take a TON of pressure off of Allen. I'd trade a 2nd and 3rd for him in a heartbeat and never look back. That said, I don't want Singletary (or Gore, but less likely) going to the Jets in return.

Derek Wolfe please.

WR, LB/EDGE are the two/three biggest needs. Then maybe an actual NFL tight end which this franchise has really never had.

Derek Wolfe is the player they should trade for. Please OBD, just this once, accommodate me.

Do they even have a first round pick next year?

Huh. For some reason I have it in my head that on third and long specifically, Tyrod's #s were almost historically bad, and Allen's are significantly better. I'll do my best to dig up the stats.

I bet they don't make a single trade.

Really? I remember Tyrod's being almost historically bad. Anyone have access to the data?

You might want to take a look at 3rd down completion/1st down percentage. I can't dig up the stats right now but that's really where you should see a clear difference in Allen's favor.

Hyde is probably out of the AP discussion after yesterday.

If they end up 5-11, no he probably doesn't. Otherwise, yes.

Who was on the field for those runs? Which of Star, Phillips, Oliver, LoRax and Marlowe? Very curious because from what I saw, Oliver was actually our best and only run defender yesterday.

I keep saying it - Derek Wolfe is reportedly available - I’ve been high on him for years - that’s the player we should trade for - he’d fix a lot of problems and instantly become a fan favorite (IMO he’s a Kyle Williams clone). Probably could get him for a fourth.

Trading a 4th for Derek Wolfe would help. But in reality it’s the scheme - need to be willing to take chances with the middle deep zones and move the linebackers up.
