Day 3 of training camp, and the OP finds a way to turn a good effort by the O into concerns for the D. The defense returns 10 starters. The 11th will be Ed Oliver. Are you like this in person? Oi vey....

First Buddy Nix, and then Whaley, brought back real scouting to this organization. I remember the crap show of Tom Donahoe, Tom Modrak, Marv Levy and Russ "Aaron Maybin" Brandon. This team now has so much obvious talent, the Patriots (THE PATRIOTS) are snatching our players for crying out loud. I don't know what kind of internal shenanigans Whaley had to deal with, but the bitter crew of Buffalo certainly didn't help...that crew being the Debbie Downers that live there, Buffalo sports media, etc. In case people forget, before the Hughes/Sheppard trade, NFL teams almost never did player-for-player trades. It was a huge news story when it happened. And the roster wouldn't have had as much turn over if we didn't switch coaches and schemes every few years. So, thank you Doug Whaley. The difference you made to the quality of players here was HUGE. I only hope the Pegulas and McD build on our talent level by getting a promising GM candidate who is known for being able to spot talent. Good luck. Wishing you the best.

RD 2, Pick 63: Dion Dawkins (OT) - TEM

"Hell no, he's not a guard!" Buddy Nix pwning every talking head on Cordy Glenn. This will be the same. -
Christian McCaffrey - Darkhorse pick

People are never happy. When Ralph was owner, people complained we didn't spend money. Now cap management is atrocious. Overdorf used to be the scapegoat. Now you're blaming Whaley. 2013 draft comments crack me up. We got LeSean McCoy for Kiko. EJ didn't pan out. Most QB's don't. Seeing Robert Woods go is sad, but we haven't seen who the replacement will be yet. Marquis is a FA who hopefully we'll end up positive for a comp pick if we sign less than we lose. Meeks and Duke WIlliams contributed for a number of years. Chriss Gragg was a 7th rounder who was our #2 TE until he got hurt. We just had a coaching change (again). You can't put all that crap on WHaley. Oi. Some of you [people need to move out of Buffalo and get some warmer weather. I think it's starting to make some of you folk miserable.

Whaley is fantastic. I don't know what all you people are whining about. For two years in a row, the Patriots signed away one of our players. That should tell you something. Failure to address QB? Half the damn teams in the NFL have a QB problem. Finding a franchise QB isn't easy, and we now have Tyrod. Yeah, EJ didn't pan out. But we got an extra draft pick for moving back. Buddy should have drafted Russell Wilson, but didn't. That's been the biggest mistake in recent years. The talent level on this team is so much better than it has been. Our FA signings have been pretty damn good. And out drafting has gotten better. Not perfect, but we have a lot of talent. Now we just need to win.

Schefter says it will be Greg Olson, fomer Jags OC. Know nothing about him other than the fact the Jags are mediocre at best. McCoy had me excited. Then again, no one knew a thing about Anthony Lynn as on OC before game 3 of this year.

I live in LA and this move completely unexcites me. Chargers are better off in San DIego.

I'm with the keep Rex crowd. Give him 3 years. This new coaching staff every few years is a recipe for disaster. I mean, we haven't made the playoffs in 17 years. You think gutting the coaching staff is suddenly going to turn things around?

Dude, it was hot...but that's not even nearly as hot as some places in LA. Try spending some time in Woodland Hills in August lol. Yes, the Coliseum is ugly and not great...but it's also historic. I had fun there today. It was my first time in the stadium...been outside of it plenty. But the new Inglewood stadium looks amazing. Can't wait until 2019. Went all the way to London last year to watch the Bills lose. Took the Metro light rail about 30 minutes to the Bills game. Much better ending. Was in row 12 right by the end zone for a perfect view of the Justin Hunter TD. Can't believe Tyrod survived in the pocket that long.

Can Ragland be a Ray Lewis type?
BEAST MODE BABY! replied to Cover 1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Ray Lewis was (is?) much faster than Ragland. Lewis ran like a mid 4.5 forty IIRC. I think a better Ray Lewis comp is Patrick Willis. I like Ragland, don't get me wrong. He has great instincts. And most of his power comes from his legs. He can still put on weight on his upper body, but that boy can hit. Holy Moley. There is no perfect Madden-type linebacker. But Ragland has skills. -
What Front Do We Run?
BEAST MODE BABY! replied to WhitewalkerInPhilly's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
People on the Internet say Ragland is only a two down LB with no pass coverage skills. Whaley said he is a 3 down backer who can cover. People on the Internet said Cordy Glenn was only a guard. Nix/Whaley said "Hell no he's not a guard." I trust Whaley over silly people on the Internet. -
^^THIS Interesting quote from Rex (paraphrased): "We're gonna run a 5-2 like I did in Baltimore and when I was first with the Jets. Shaq is on the outside and Jerry will be opposite. But in the middle, you'll have Marcell, Kyle and Corbin/Adolphus. But where will they be? Who knows. And the offense won't know either. We won't be predictable like we were last year when you knew who the SAM was every down and other things." So, we didn't want a nose because we're not running a 3-4 base...which is news to many of us.

All Hail Doug Whaley! Look At All He's Done!
BEAST MODE BABY! replied to Astrobot's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
People that hate on Doug Whaley honestly baffle me. Remember Tom Donahoe? Marv Levy and freakin' Russ "I'm gonna draft Aaron Maybin" Brandon? Hearing Tom Modrak talk about mediocre talent? Doug Whaley flipped Kelvin Sheppard for Jerry Hughes. Doug Whaley flipped Kiko Alonso for Shady McCoy. He signed FA Tyrod Taylor, who under Greg Roman's tutelage is the best QB we've had since Kelly (obviously TT still can improve in a number of areas). But TT did go to the Pro Bowl. When's the last time a Bills QB did that? Since Buddy and Doug got here, the talent on this team is significantly better. We were 4-2 in the division. Other teams are signing our players (Bradham, Brooks, etc). And people who rely on one metric (DW is 17-15 as a GM) ignore all the details that going into running a franchise. People seem to think David Caldwell and the Jags are significantly better, but if you only take their record into account under Calwell he's a terrible GM, since the Jags are only 12-36 under his watch. So after this draft, we got two 1st round talnets. Many thought Shaq Lawson would be gone at 19 and some wanted Ragland with our 19th pick. With a GM like Whaley on board, I trust Buffalo to make smart decisions while other teams make dumb ones (Like drafting a kicker in the 2nd). He lets the draft fall to us, and if there is huge value on the board, he's not afraid to move up and get it (Ragland). -
You can't measure the draft for at least 3 years. Get it right

I don't even know how you coped when we had Jauron and selected Aaron Maybin for our 1st round pick. It's amazing you're still alive. -
