Spector looked very natural out there reading the play and taking on the blocker. I like him but replacing Jones or Matakevich on the roster is unlikely with a team so close to a championship. Practice squad is more likely and many of our late picks get picked up by other teams. Good problem to have.
I really like the attached analysis. Seems Burks is the guy to grab if he is available. Burks accomplished a lot in the best conference with so/so quarterbacks. The comments on the other wrs are pretty good.

I think Daboll and Schoen are linked to the Giants. They have draft capital (5 picks in the top 80) and enough players to build a better team. They will have to cut guys to create cap space.
He battles every snap and might be the only defensive lineman who draws a double team on occasion. NE blocked Star straight up with the center and blocked our DE with TE's and receivers. Either scheme or players don't work. None of our guys can get off a block it seems.
He hesitated looking left, if he takes the ball forward, I think Williams and Morse had enough push. Oh well, woulda coulda shoulda. I was curious why the play before was never reviewed.
I remember after Tampa beat up on them in the Super Bowl reading an article about the path of their pass rush taking into account Mahomes deeper than standard dropbacks. As a result they had him backpedaling all over the field. They also jammed Kelce at the line to throw off the timing.
I think Haack is a better punter. More height on kicks, takes advantage of our good punt coverage team. Bojo was good for a costly shank every couple games and he had no feel for the coffin corner kicks (yes, I am aware he did it on his longest kick last year).
Preseason is all vanilla defense. I recollect two touchdowns on two drives for Josh Allen when he played preseason. I feel comfortable that they will figure things out.
I thought they overdid it with the substance recovery angle for Crosby and the big TE. They covered it pregame and blathered on like they split the atom all night.
With all the what if scenarios being tossed out about the OPI and the kicker, what if Godwin doesn't fumble on a dumb play near the end zone? That game illustrated the need to outscore teams in today's NFL. I think the Bills have that base covered.
LT, Joe Greene, Reggie White, Ray Lewis, Bruce Smith and a somewhat underrated Ted Hendricks were the best I have seen. Butkus was before my time but the clips show he was as violent a hitter as there ever was.
