Because he’s a elite WR1 with a Buffalo mentality. Rare.

I’m not Tyler Dunne, I swear. But that’s exactly what I’ve been saying about Worthy. Also I think Beane really wants Odunze. Probably wants him the most he’s wanted a prospect other than Allen.

I’ll tell you why. He’s slow early in his routes and has no route deception. You watch all these other WRs with the crossover, slow down, speed up route deception. Legette just runs same speed. NFL CBs will eat him up early in his career. They know what he’s doing every route. Also he’s a slow accelerator, build up speed guy. He’s not going to win his routes at the next level. He’ll be a good vertical route jump ball guy. I don’t see a WR1 or even a WR2.

Metcalf had 1.48 10 yard split. He can be stiff.

That’s pretty significant. I still think he’s a stiff route runner but I’ll delete all those posts if they draft him. 😉

He’ll be smiling.

Sounds like a deal to me.

We are sending Picks 28, 60, 128 and 133 for pick 12 to Denver. Then we’re sending 12 and our 2025 2nd to Atlanta for pick 8.

I’ll put this in the rumors thread. We're drafting Rome Odunze or Xavier Worthy. Write it down in ink.

I wish.

Hot take. Javon Baker > Xavier Legette.

No. I actually see a lot of Diggs in a mid round guy though. Jamari Thrash!

Would we draft this guy?

I don’t think we have any McConkeys. But I like other WRs better. McConkey is a smooth route runner and separator. I wish he had longer arms.

I think the Bills trade up into the teens before the draft. Then trade up again into the top 10.

I’m not a big fan of Legette. Stiff route runner.

Do you follow hockey? They fire guys on Monday and hire a new guy by the next game on Wednesday. The Sabres are acting like a real NHL team. This is what they do. There doesn’t need to be an extensive search because everyone knows about these guys. They’ve been hired by 3-4 teams already. Ruff is right up there with all the other candidates. This not a nostalgia hire. He’s exactly what the GM said he wanted. He’s a better fit than some of the other guys because of how well he works with young teams.

No. The Sabres need to take another step forward. This is the step forward. I don’t understand why people care about ties to Buffalo? Teams in all leagues hire coaches with ties to the team. Typically they’re assistants with ties to the team getting a head coaching opportunity. Who cares. Ruff checked all the boxes.

Toronto.

@BullBuchanan Answer this question? Does Lindy Ruff make a team worse? If he improves the Sabres just 3-4 more wins he’ll take the playoffs. I believe he can be that difference. He won’t make them worse.

He takes bad teams to the playoffs.

I wish he did.

Coaches have returned to coach the same team a few times in the NHL.

Won 40+ games 3/4 years with Dallas, including a 50 win season. Took over the worst team in hockey in NJ and built them into a contender in 2 years. He’s a coach that has built up bad teams to good teams.

Yeah yeah. The guy 5th in all time wins had nothing to do with the winning. Listen, they said the same stuff about Lindy in Buffalo, multiple times. He won the division 3 different ways in Buffalo. With different systems. Won in Dallas. Won in Jersey. He’ll win again in Buffalo.
