    The thing that's always surprised me is that McDermott always credits Andy Reid as being a big influence/mentor to him, yet for 3 seasons we've seen a lack of focus on the offense. This upcoming draft really needs to focus on the offense. We need 2 more solid recievers that will be a part of this team for 5 years or longer. I think we're ok at tight end. Get some depth at o line in the later rounds and I think we'll be in pretty good shape for 2020


    Wait, what? Last year the entire offensive like except left tackle was replaced. Devin Singletary was drafted . Tyler Kroft was signed. Dawson Knox was drafted. Beasley and Brown were signed. Gore was brought in. How is that not concentrating on the offense? That’s a total rebuild!

    But we used the PS exemption on him so now we can't. Not saying we would have if we could have or that he is quite ready for real NFL ball yet but with Singletary's injury it would have been an interesting consideration.

     

    With all the confusion on the rules of these International guys I never saw this scenario mentioned. 

     

    The Pats, who are always playing 4D chess, didn't use the roster exemption on their guy and just activated him a few hours ago. So there we have it. FB Jakob Johnson is now the first official player make an NFL roster through the program.

    What are you talking about? Wade was clearly not ready in terms of playbook, philosophy, and football knowledge. He doesn't know how to pick up the blitz or read defenses like an NFL player. The PS exemption was the best thing to do for him, by ensuring nobody could put them on their PS or team, and allowing the Bills to develop him more. Putting him on the roster or not using the exemption would have exposed him.

    Teller was a 5th round pick. They got back the 5th rounder, gained a 6th, and lost a 7th, iirc. Kind of a wash.

    Not really, considering they got a year's worth of use out of him. Not only that, the 7th is in 2021, which according to draft charts is pretty much a half-box of tape. Really great move by Beane, who would have got nothing if they cut him, anyway. Maybe not as good a move as taking away a Cheatriot pick for a guy they would have cut and was terrible last year, but still pretty good.

    I think Joseph can play snaps in sub-packages as a rookie.  I don't, however, expect him to be another Milano--Milano was a former CB with excellent instincts.  Joseph is an athletic 'backer who lacks great instincts.

     

    I do think he could be a valuable sub-package guy though.

    I don't know. I watched the all the film on that page and more, and I think he has really great instincts. Instincts in the NFL are learned.

  5. I'm fine with this. The media these days is horrible. It's a "hot take" media, which requires only an opinion that doesn't need to be based on fact. The Bills don't generate clicks right now, so they will never be an option.

     

    This fact really hit home recently. Peter King (think what you want) used to be a guy who would cover the NFL and all the teams in it, no matter what. Recently, he never mentions or considers Buffalo. So I wrote him a note. It ended up being one of the letters he answered on his Monday Morning bull#### columns. He basically said, "the Bills haven't won a playoff game in forever, so screw them, I'm only covering the teams that make me feel good about eating Hot Pockets. The "Hot Take" media.

     

     

  6. Some people are introverts and just aren't jazzed about being up in front of people or being the center of attention. Sometimes introversion means they have a smaller but much closer circle of friends. This personality type actually plays well into the team concept, especially those playing on either line. There's my MBTI lesson for the day.

  7. I prefer Nick Tahou's, where the garbage plate was actually invented.  Lots of places imitate it, or have their own take on it, but I prefer the original. There are a few good places I'll go to in a pinch if I can't get to Nick's, but really there's no substitute for the original. 

     

    That said, I'll be there for the draft version with the rest of those with palates sensitive to the flavor of a quality meal.

  8. The teams you play are what they are. What is really important is your home vs. away schedule (pats looks a little easier than buffalo's), when your bye falls, where your away games fall,  how many short weeks you have, and cross-country travel. The cheatriots usually get babied when it comes to rest and short weeks, and the Bills usually get screwed. We'll see how this year goes.
