Buffalo_Stampede

My feelings on MLB is if they wanted someone with more proven success they could’ve had him. Everything they’re doing is by plan. So I’m not worried about it. Yes there were other players I wanted but from the Bills point of view they have a plan. There was very little LB talk in UFA connected to the Bills. I believe the only talk was David saying it would’ve been different if Von reached out. I think it’s very possible we see a lot of Milano and Rapp next year.

This guy is a straight beast!

Either way we needed LB depth added the last 2 years. A 3rd is a good way to add depth. Hopefully they both develop into starters.

He’s a late 3rd round pick. He was drafted right about where he should’ve been. Bills didn’t reach. Now they must develop him. Not sure why anyone would bash the pick? He’s fast and athletic. I wouldn’t expect much early in his career. I preferred others but they weren’t on the board when the Bills picked.

That’s the QB, not RB. It’s pretty bad. But it’s one play. He was under control for the most part the rest of the game.

He took a pay cut restructure in the offseason so very unlikely. Options at DT, from most likely to least likely: 1) Keep Oliver, Jones, Ford, Phillips, and Settle on 1 year deals. 2) Keep all 5 and extend Jones 3) Trade Oliver 4) Keep all 5 and extend Jones and Oliver 5) Keep all 5 and extend Oliver 6) Release Phillips or Settle

Here’s the TD run. Williams had no chance IMO.

If the play stands out, sure. He made a nice open field tackle on the TE. Then was kind of caught in no man’s land on the TD run by the RB. I won’t put that on the LB. Could’ve drove a truck through that hole. It was a typo, it happens. Just like the whiff on that video, it happens. Milano had a few whiffs last year. Don’t get triggered by my post. Obviously one play doesn’t form an opinion. One thing from the 1st half vs USC is he tends to get lost in traffic IMO, but USC OL was getting hands on him so understandable. If he hits you, you go down. Also he was going for the ball a lot, a few plays he was trying to rip it out in the scrum. 2nd half was more of the same, but had a nice stop for no gain when USC was pinned on their goal line. Next play was a huge safety. Seemed to play tentative, probably due to facing Caleb Williams. Similar stuff from Tremaine Edmunds in Buffalo. Kind of let the play come to him rather than instinctively attacking the play. USC OL was all over him 99% of the game. Thought he disengaged from the block better in the 2nd half on a couple plays. It was only one game vs the best QB in college football. He played very under control, somewhat tentative. Like I mentioned similar to what we saw from Tremaine Edmunds. Not much bad or good stands out other than the whiff on Caleb Williams and USC OL getting hands on him. 3 good stops, 2 in run game and 1 vs pass.

Actually just started watching him. This was on the first drive of the USC game I’m watching. Had to post it. People don’t like to post the negative, but it’s all part of it.

So I should’ve just accepted the pick and moved on but I had to know what we’re getting. 😬

So he can walk as a UFA next year? Great strategy. If we think he’s good then sign him. It’s definitely about Oliver in multiple ways.

Whatever helps improve edge. Can’t rely on Von Miller again.

I want to sign or trade Oliver. I don’t want to have him play out his contract and become a UFA. I’m very clear about that.

Persistent about what? What exactly has changed? Trading Oliver has been a major discussion all offseason and they just signed a 5th DT that is a starter. What is the confusion?

What if they were able to sign Yannick Ngakoue? If they can keep Ed and sign Yannick, ok.

Yes I know. They could also extend Oliver. I don’t get the logic here. How is a player too good to trade but not good enough to extend?

Still think we need more pass rushers in case of injury. They’re just sitting out there, many good ones.

Sure. Especially if you’re not getting any offers of a 3rd round pick or better. I like that cap space though. I think they’re going to extend Jones at some point creating some space.

How’s this guy unsigned until now?

No dead cap if traded. They have to sign him or trade him.

$10 million in cap space.

Sign him then.

Then sign Ed Oliver to an extension.

Definitely trading Oliver, for sure. 100%.

5 legit starting DTs on the roster. Phillips does have injury history and Settle underperformed last year so maybe they just want the depth.
