Falcons trading Julio Jones to Titans
Rockinon replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Welp, there goes Jones' career. -
If he's so awful, why has he gone to two probowls?
-
The amount of negativity toward Tremaine is baffling. The coaches are high on him. He has been to two probowls. He's still very young and still improving his craft. Yes, he took a step back, coming back from a significant injury, but the negative Nancy's are getting kind of annoying. This young man is just getting warmed up in this league and like the coach has said, his best play is ahead of him. I have absolutely no reason to doubt that. None.

Is Chandler Jones available on the NFL's black-market?
Rockinon replied to The_Ripster's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Beane would be all to happy to trade one or two veteran DEs. We have a stockpile of them. I also think he'd love to trade away an OLman. Not sure anyone is interested, but we have a lot of players at premium positions. QB included. Seems to me someone will be desperate enough by the time training camp starts to heat up and someone goes down with an injury. I think Beane has been purposefully stockpiling, biding his time, and waiting for some desperate team to come along and over pay for someone he never intended to keep in the first place. What he isn't going to do is over pay for a Chandler Jones. -
Harrison Phillips- Can he become what he was drafted for?
Rockinon replied to TBBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I must be confusing him with someone else, haha. The Bills picked up someone in the draft a couple of years ago with ridiculous numbers sacking the QB. Thought it was Harrison. -
Harrison Phillips- Can he become what he was drafted for?
Rockinon replied to TBBills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I remember his first season. He was not a 1T coming out of college but the coach needed someone to sub for Star. Harrison was the guy who stood out the most as a viable replacement when Star needed to rest. You are right that coming out of college he most definitely was not a 1T, but he has proven to be pretty damn good at the position. Now that he's healthy, he may very well prove to be better than Star and take the starting position. I found it really odd that the coach wanted Harrison to play the 1T to begin with. In college he had some sick numbers getting after the passer. The more I think about it though, watching us draft two DEs back to back in this years draft, drafting Ed Oliver and having something like 10 DEs on this team, it is becoming clear that the coach values pass rushers over run stuffers. I'm beginning to think that this team is looking for speed on the DLine rather than size/power. More of a NASCAR type defense where the front four are all getting after the passer. It's clear now that Harrison is valued not just to take on two blockers, but because he is one more person on that line that can drop a QB for a loss. It makes it difficult for an OL to choose who to double block. Star is useful simply by being big and powerful, eating double the blockers. Harrison is useful because he can also eat blockers and he can also shoot the gap and sack the QB. -

Sheldon Richardson or Vernon Butler
Rockinon replied to Weatherman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There is always a chance that the front office might trade away someone in order to pick up someone that could improve the team. It's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities. Won't necessarily be a DT for a DT, though. -
Fairburn would swap Allen for Mahomes. Would you?
Rockinon replied to transplantbillsfan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No way. No chance would I make that trade. Coaches either. I still want to see how this plays out. -
This just goes from one play to the next, cutting out the commentary from game announcers. But man there are a hell of a lot of plays in this. Loved it! Some real magic trick plays and some pretty ugly ones too. Truly amazing how many big plays there were last year.

Christian Wade [Mod edited] has a groupie
Rockinon replied to Milanos Milano's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is Wades 3rd year on the team. He's had lots of time to learn the position and I do believe this is the year the coaches give him a legitimate shot to make the roster. I think his first 2yrs here the coaches simply wanted time to mold him into a RB. Big difference between rugby and football. But it will be interesting to see if he makes it. The kid certainly has big play ability and this team could use that. Would be an incredible story too. -
Track speed vs. football speed
Rockinon replied to TailgateChef's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jerry Rice at one point had a world class hurdler opposite him on the 49ers named Renaldo Nehemiah. He had something like 750yds in three seasons and 4 TDs. That didn't really pan out either. -
Good post. The run game is as much a team effort as passing. Last year the pass game took off like a rocket because there was a major effort to make it so. I really believe the Bills will solve the rushing issues by simply practicing more. Of course, adding to the depth on the OL will help too. People who are down on Singletary really don't WTF they are talking about. The kid is good. Real good.

And by the time we made it to the playoffs all our our receivers looked like they needed crutches to hop around on.

I know many people wanted flashier skill position players. We all ready have one of the highest scoring offenses in the league and adding another skill position isn't really going to create a big jump. There is only one ball. OLmen and DLmen are on the field contributing on every down. I like this draft, because there are no reaches to fill some perceived need. The team is stronger and looking back at the way this draft was run, I think there is some potential for some of these guys to be big contributors. I also think that the positions drafted are highly valued league wide and we may be able to score some draft picks in trade.

What's your top 4 pass rush package?
Rockinon replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The great thing about having so many pass rushers is that you can rotate guys in and out and there is going to be someone who can get there quick no matter who is the starting line. I do think that the coaches have been rethinking what the DL should look like. Haven't figured out what they are thinking but it is clear they want the QB to get smacked around. I think training camp is going to be real interesting. Buffalo has a bunch of young DEs and they are good. Going to be real hard to keep them off the field. -
Bills 2021 Draft - Overall Assessment
Rockinon replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Some of the games Feliciano did play were at C. That line never had a chance to get into a run blocking groove all season. All of the shuffling was a problem. Hopefully, our starters can settle into their positions and get used to playing beside the same guy throughout the season. -
2021 NFL Draft Day 3 Talk Official Thread
Rockinon replied to The Jokeman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bill's with a pass rush could be very dangerous, even to Cleveland. I'm sitting back and thinking Beane is not playing around. If the OL can be better at run blocking, the offense is going to incredibly dominant. That tackle we just picked up is one strong boy(tap into that, we might be on to something). This is a sneaky good draft for us, so far. -

The East is so far behind they still can't catch us. I think having a great QB does that for us. -

Hopefully, Raiders and KC beat up on each other. Hopefully, that entire division gets stronger and KC gets stuck in the muck.
