Any insight/opinions on Hakeem Butler last night?
Lofton80 replied to CEN-CAL17's topic in College Football
The thing I like about Butler is he consistently makes plays in the middle of the field. Last night he caught a ball thrown behind him crossing the field and one that was well over his head where he hauled it in one handed again in the middle of the field. The other thing like is he is a hands catcher never letting the ball get to his body which is helpful with Josh Allen's velocity. I like the guy a lot. -
It is a better system than the previous one. I think the eventual winner is the best team be it Alabama, Clemson, Florida St or Oklahoma over the last 10 years. The teams ending up at the 5 and 6 positions squawk about the system but they are unlikely to win out.

Is Kelvin Benjamin soft? Or does he just not care?
Lofton80 replied to blacklabel's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Go back and look at his performance at Florida St. or even the first preseason game, he has immense talent. Clearly, he lacks the passion at this point. -
Vikings Game vs. Every Other Game so far
Lofton80 replied to Houston's #1 Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
With Josh Allen on the field, defenses have to cover deeper areas of the field rather than crowd up so close with Peterman on the field. Passes to the RB, bubble screens, etc have more of a chance to get something yardage wise when more space is available. Lanes for the runners are easier if the box is not loaded. Those one yard "safe" plays that resulted in returns for scores are more likely when so many people are in the same location. It also helps to have lineman and TE's that can push people backwards or even sideways. -
I really like Boykin, he will def play on Sundays.

I sincerely don't get all of the negativity.....

Most of it is manufactured nonsense, goes on whether the Bills win or lose. -
You stay classy, Patriots fans!

Good for Tyreek Hill keeping his cool. Fan should be banned, no need for that. -
What Does McBeane See In Peterman?
Lofton80 replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My guess is he looks great in a practice setting. Works hard, perfect teammate. Simply panics when the live bullets fly. He is basically a rookie out there and has been overwhelmed in his spot performances. Hard to rebuild his confidence at this point. -
Is Nate Peteman the worst QB in NFL history?
Lofton80 replied to bills6969's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jeff Tuel might give him a run, remember his 99 yard fumble, then there was JP Losman's fumble against the Jets. -
Right now he reminds me of Tyrod Taylor. Takes off to run rather than letting plays develop. Difference is Tyrod was a veteran whereas Allan is young and may well develop into to great player. I don't see the Locker comparison at all. I assume Locker was a bust so that is a convenient name to throw out there. Next it will be he's a dead ringer for Kyle Boller or the next Ryan Leaf. Growing pains are tough but I say give the kid some time.

He is nowhere’s near as good as Mills. No thanks

Intrigued by Hakeem Butler of Iowa St. 6'6 225 and emerging. If he can continue his recent play, he will move up. Also like Stanley Morgan, Jr of Nebraska and Boykin of ND.

Benny Snell is impressive, very hard runner. Also like Travis Etienne of Clemson and Dexter Williams if he can stay out of trouble.

My personal vow regarding Josh Allen: Who is with me
Lofton80 replied to Like A Mofo's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He was selected after extensive research by the front office and McD, he is going to be the QB for a long time. -
Yes, I did read the article. I find college performances against Hawaii and Oregon to be less of a comparison than how other rookies have played in their first NFL games where the speed of play and level of competition is higher. The writer discusses Allen losing velocity on a throw because he did not step up when people were clearly at his feet. He also noted that Allen left a collapsing pocket rather than hit Zay Jones on a 2 yard out, look at collapsing pocket, he did what he could. I agreed with his other 2 clips, Allen needs to improve on those plays. Some good/some bad.

Hopkins took some big shots. Jalen Smith ran about 20 yards and bounced him out of bounds. Hopefully, he sits it out.

Peyton Manning's first 5 starts, the Colts avg. 10 points a game and went 0-4 and ended up 3-13. That was with Faulk and Harrison as weapons. Troy Aikman threw 8 interceptions in his first 4 starts. Josh Allen just beat 2 playoff teams in his first 4 starts. I think Allen deserves some time to progress.
-
Boykin from ND has good size and great hands might be a middle round pick.
-
Star, Kyle, Milano, Hauska and props to Ray Ray for a big first down.
-
Assuming they continue on the same path the rest of the year, we are looking at a top 10 pick, possibly top 5. It appears the defensive lineman are going to dominate the top of the draft. Hopefully, some of the quarterbacks (Herbert, Finley) emerge to push the player we want to where we pick. I see one of Bosa, Oliver or Jonah Williams being likely additions to the Bills. Guards and Centers tend to get picked round 2, grab one and sign one.

Impressed by the core they have added through two drafts, most of the young guys contribute and should improve. Specialists- Punter and kicker are both above avg. Disappointed- The offensive line is brutal. teams will keep sending extra rushers until the Bills figure out a way to stop it. Way too many free rushers right up the middle. Dawkins is not doing as well as last year. DuCasse would never start for any other team, Miller has been brutal and Mills has actually been adequate. I hope they use their likely top 5 pick on the Alabama OT and kick Dawkins to guard. Teams are crowding the line so Shady is never going to break lose until they can keep the QB upright to stretch the field. The receivers are a collection of #2, #3 and #4's. No one to put fear on a defense. Basically, the offense needs about 5 players not on the roster today to improve. Defense has been better the last few weeks. The short fields they have been forced to defend do not help.

I thought Sunday was the best he has looked since he got here. He does get double teamed a lot.
