    Offensive Line

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    The average, full grown silverback gorilla stands about 5’5”, but weighs between 300-485 pounds, has an 8 foot reach, and is 4-9x stronger than the average human.
    How do you think something so small, yet so powerful, would fare at offensive guard or defensive tackle in the NFL? 🦍

    I agree with most of what you said, but I very vividly recall a play where Rousseau batted a ball and intercepted it from the right side against the Chiefs, so he’s played RDE before. I’m not basing this off that one play, but if I had to assume who would start at right end it would be Groot since he is the 2nd best end behind Miller.

    He was on the left side of the defensive formation that play IIRC, going against the RT.

    Ranking next extensions in order. 
     

    1. Oliver


     

    I am not putting Poyer or Edmunds in yet. Need to see the Bills get through the draft. I could see both moved at the draft. 
     

    I am leaning to I can get Edmunds level play from Dodson. I know though the internal Bills think much more ahighly of Edmunds than even I do. 

    If Edmunds isn’t going to be extended this off-season, or the first few weeks of the regular season, then he needs to be traded before, during, or after the draft to a team that values him highly.

    You forget we traded SJ13 for what turned into RB Bryce Brown and traded for bust WR Mike Williams? 

    Stevie was good, but I don’t think he was ever considered one of the top 5 or 10 WRs in the NFL. And the Bills traded up for Watkins when Stevie was still on the squad. Mike Williams? Don’t even remember him taking a snap for the Bills. Point is, Whaley never traded a WR the caliber of Diggs, only to use those picks to select another WR at the top of the draft. Don’t think he did this with any position actually, but someone correct me if I’m wrong…

    Rumor: Bills want to move up in draft, may move a veteran or two to accomplish it

    Keep your eyes on Brandon Smith, the LB from Penn State. He scored a 9.9 RAS and is a little more athletic than Edmunds, but not as long. Problem is, he also shares the same pre draft questions about his instincts, processing time, and ability to shed blocks. He also misses more tackles than Edmunds, but plays a more physical brand of football.
     

    He’s one of the few LBers the Bills met with and is projected to go in the 2nd round.

    He went on to explain how he thought the best course of action would be to take the picks aquired in this trade, trade up to #4 and take the 3rd or 4th best WR in a WR loaded draft.

    I’m going to assume this is in reference to Sammy. I don’t remember Whaley creating a hole by trading a high profile WR only to draft another. He was doubling down on the EJ Manuel pick to get him weapons. It was a stupid trade, no doubt, you don’t give up that many assets to move up for a WR. Word at the time was that he also liked Odell Beckham, but if they had stayed put likely would’ve drafted TE Eric Ebron.

    If a WR is drafted within the first two rounds this year and proves he can play, next offseason may be very interesting! Diggs no doubt probably wants in the neighborhood of what Adams and Hill got and that’s not possible. An $8M bump to “only” $25M/yr may not be possible. Too many contracts are coming due in the next couple years.

    Off Topic guess Lamar’s new contract

    I’ve had this discussion with others: even though the cap raises every year, the percentage of the cap the QB occupies has increased significantly in the last decade. The wealthiest QBs used to pull in about 10-12% of the cap, now they’re over 20%.


    There was an article in The Athletic talking about how owners may go the way of the “max contract” like the NBA has. I believe @GunnerBillwas saying there’s a real problem with recognizing how lesser talents should be slotted because GMs HAVE TO HAVE a guy. Lamar is lesser than Mahomes and Allen, but if he had an agent would probably bring in more than the two if the contract was done right now.

    Breece Hall Please!!

    I honestly worry about the Bills RB evaluation process. Hard to believe they were this high on Moss in the 2020 draft. Can’t wait to see what they do at this year’s draft to upgrade the RB room.  

    Ironically, two players that we know Beane stressed about and had graded much higher - Cody Ford and Zack Moss - appear to be duds.

    He's very good.

     

    I think there is a perception that if it were down to Dotson or CB Andrew Booth Jr...........that Booth is obviously the better/more valuable asset.

     

    I'm not sure that's the case.

     

    I don't really know why this has happened exactly........the easy answer is to say that offense is more important than defense............. but WR has eclipsed CB in terms of premium salary expectations.

     

    I thought the very top CB and WR contracts would be mirror images at this point in NFL history but that's not what is happening.

     

    I know JC Jackson seemed to take a bad deal from the LAC but in general CB's aren't getting $20M+ aav deals...........top WR's are.

     

    If a WR is even he's leavin' even applies to cash value of the position now.

     

    Never thought I’d see the day where WR contracts eclipse CB contracts. There’s a plethora of game breaking WRs in the league, but the same can’t be said for CB. You’d think the more glut of talent one position has, the cheaper the contracts would be, since it’s theoretically easier to replace the position with talent on cost-controlled contracts. Devante Adams’s agent broke the mold. With that said, I’m of the opinion we shouldn’t be shelling out that sort of cash to the WR position and if one is drafted in the first two rounds, it likely means one of Diggs, Davis, or the rookie WR will not see their next contract in Buffalo.

    The more I watch Kenneth Walker the more I like him.  He has incredibly quick feet, great initial cuts and he can change direction with suddenness and burst.  He gears up quickly after cuts and finds open space with decisiveness.  He’s pretty evasive with great lateral movement and balance. I Iike how he has a tendency to finish his runs initiating contact and physicality.  He has burst, vision and instincts… not much to not like about him as a runner.  His pass blocking could use some improvement and his receiving skills are sort of an unkown.  Will his impressive college game translate to the pro level with the same success? Maybe with the Buffalo Bills lol

    Yeah, I liked his tape the most, but the Bills never met with him, or any of the other marquee RBs as far as we know.
