Week 12 - Bills vs LA Charge Cards
We last had Alex and a different crew back in week 3, against the Rams, a 35-32 victory...
Yrs 2019 crew College Occupation R 55 Alex Kemp 7 Central Michigan insurance agent U 124 Carl Paganelli 21 Boger Michigan State retired federal probation officer DJ 8 Dana McKenzie 13 Corrente Toledo claims adjuster LJ 98 Greg Bradley 12 Hochuli Tennessee chemical engineer FJ 43 Terry Brown 15 Wrolstad Tennessee court director SJ 26 Jabir Walker 6 Hussey Murray State middle school teacher BJ 96 Matt Edwards 3 Cheffers Western Michigan healthcare sales Looks like the same crew to me except the side judge - Walker looks to be the regular on the crew (9/11 weeks) and Dominique Pender who was SJ for Bills/Rams looks like a guy who bounces between crews

That is the Pitts for Lafayette.
You think he actually watches football?
Bills skipped Cam when they could have signed him to keep from P*ts.
That's because Cam's the 2021 backup! Barkley and Fromm are the physical opposite of Allen. Cam isn't playing poorly enough to wash out of the league entirely, but not well enough anyone will want him to start either.
Removing the Panthers connection entirely, it makes sense. Play style wise there's not going to be anyone available any more similar to Allen than Cam, and it makes it so you don't have to completely change the offense to bring in one of the noodle arm mayo sandwiches they have backing Allen up now.

At least once a year this happens. They just show up completely flat and look like it's the first time they've played football. It doesn't even have to be against a particularly talented team.
2017 it was the Saints running for 300 yards and winning 47-10
2018 it was the 1-5 Colts winning 37-5
2019 was the Eagles running at will
I don't understand why it happens, but it happens. I've learned to just accept it and move on to the next game

I hope so regarding Star, though I wonder. At the 1-tech, I believe it is Star and Harry; we know what we have in Star but not so much with Harry as he rotated in during his rookie season and was injured all of last season.
It depends how Phillips returns from the ACL tear, but he was *thisclose* to permanently taking over the majority of the snaps from Star when he got hurt. He was playing really well.
Week 1: Star 30 snaps, Phillips 23
Week 2: Phillips and Star 28 snaps each
Week 3: Phillips 26, Star 21
If he can get back to that form sooner rather than later, that's good. The Bills certainly positioned themselves to move on from Star sooner than originally thought when they restructured his deal.

So I initially hated this pick - felt that we could have gotten more competition somewhere - filled more backup roles, more depth. I will be honest and say I did not watch the kid kick, because .... well he's a kicker. I just watched a few - my goodness does he have power. If he can improve his accuracy behind the 50 yd line it'll be worth the selection.
I posted a few pages back on Sunday where Jim Nagy, the guy who runs the Senior Bowl, said something to the effect of this: NFL coaches would rather have guys with the monster leg and work on the accuracy.
In their opinion you can teach accuracy, but the booming leg is something a guy has or doesn't. His NFL.com scouting report also mentions he has a "repeatable process" to his kicks which is something working in his favor.
Should Bass not work out, I could see the Bills also circling back on Chase McLaughlin. Seems the Colts have a 3-way battle between Vinatieri, McLaughlin and Goggles McGee from Georgia

That’s the one. Hard to believe it made sense, but that’s just me. I think the 49ers fleeced them.
Seemed crazy at the time and then by the end of the draft the 49ers lost Joe Staley to retirement and traded for Trent Williams. For all we know, they could have been open to taking Wirfs, but then decided to just trade for Williams and figure out a long-term solution next year

I'd say he's closer to average. What was making him bad last year was those shanked punts and he cut those out towards the end of the season I believe.
The shanked punts are one issue. When he's having a bad day, his punts also have only two options.
Option A is a very long punt, but he out-kicks his coverage and there's usually a decent return.
Option B is hangtime with a huge sacrifice to distance.
The ideal punter would be able to do something in between. Like 50 yards with good hangtime is better than 65 with none or 42 with too much....and I'm not sure he's got that in the tool bag

People who keep quoting the 50 yard career long as a negative clearly haven't watched any of his highlights (many of which other have kindly posted in this thread, cheers guys!). Most of the field goals he made looked to be in the 40-45 yard range and could have easily cleared the bar from 50-55 yards out. Joe Marino also posted his Senior Bowl kick where he hits the left post halfway up from 58 yards out. It's also noticeable how much of a rainbow effect his kicks have, I'd say they'll be very difficult to block.
Sky isn't falling is my point, looks like we got a good one.
Bass’ kicking caught the eye of Senior Bowl executive director Jim Nagy, who invited him to play in the annual showcase in Mobile, Alabama and caught the attention of NFL scouts in attendance. He shined in practices, booting a 55-yarder that would have been good from 60 yards-plus. In the game, he kicked field goals of 41 and 50 yards and was 4-of-4 on extra points.
“The dude has a crazy leg. So I think he’ll be the first kicker drafted this year,” Nagy told The State. “My time in the NFL, the special teams coaches I worked with, they want the leg. They feel like they can hone a guy’s technique and get him more accurate. But their thing is, it’s hard for us to make a stronger leg. Tyler can absolutely boom the football. That’s why we brought him in. He really showed up well out here.”

No thanks due to pedestrian production at times. Why not just draft a young guy with fresh legs. I was listening toJordan Palmer Sunday on NFLR, and made some good points on Dillon out of Boston College. He would be the perfect compliment to Singletary and a different type of Back.
I don't buy into the train of thought that the Bills need a hammer back to pair with Singletary. He was so, so good at navigating through piles last season and popping out the backside of a mess of players for an extra yard or three.
His weakness is long speed. He's never going to break a 50+ yard TD unless the entire D trips over each other or something. I would rather see them pair him up with a guy like that instead of a between the tackles plugger.
If they don't want to go with a rookie, Fournette and Coleman both work. They aren't world beaters but they're UFA after the season which means you're trading a late round pick for a year of their service and then you can LIKELY recoup that pick via a compensatory selection when they sign elsewhere

So they didn't wear the jersey you wanted and they raised ticket prices. Those monsters.
There's no statement of desire in that post. PSE flat out missed deadlines with the NHL. They were going to switch to royal blue and didn't submit on time. They were going to wear the throwbacks on theme night like Vancouver did, and didn't submit on time.
Those are concrete examples of the failings of management. Meeting deadlines is business 101.

And egads, if they pass on Johnathan Taylor to take a defensive back I will lose it. I don’t think he’ll last to 54 but if somehow he did and they pass... that dude is special.
I'm very much in the "don't pay a premium for RB" camp but when you take the strengths and weaknesses of Taylor and put them next to Singletary's strengths and weaknesses? My goodness. They would be an absolutely devastating backfield pair.
Taylor has that break-away speed that Singletary does not. Singletary has that knack for wiggling through the pile, where Taylor does not. Both of them had a ton of college touches so you could balance out the wear and tear worry. Taylor thrives with more carries whereas Singletary may never be a 25 touch guy in the NFL due to being a little on the small side.
I don't love the idea of an RB at 54 but if Taylor or Dobbins are like #25 on the Bills board and the next guys are 40-45? Yeah man that could be electric

Probably better than Senorise Perry. Upgrade everywhere you can.
Perry is supposedly a good STer in his own right. Not going to pretend I'm an expert on special teams play but that's his reputation.. anyhow; it's Perry's replacement but also they have different roles on the ST units.
IIRC Jones lined up as the return man in his last stint here, at the very least on kick returns, can't remember if he fielded punts too. Perry definitely didn't do that. I *think* Perry was the up-back on the punt team but I'm not even entirely sure of that either. Could be a very big shuffle of the ST roles in 2020 which is needed considering their performance.
I also think Jones provides a little more juice if pressed into play on offense

I really dont understand this mentality. Wyatt Teller is 100% irrelevant. How you acquired the capital does not matter, this is like people who get a tax return spending like drunkin sailers because it was unexpected money or something.
How often does a 5th rounder get cut? Not likely to get cut. Likely to not be an impact player, sure. My issue is more with the #22 pick, that is a top talent at a bargain price with a 5th year option. That is near where Tre White was picked for instance, but I understand it could also be a bust.
You're talking potential. You hope #22 is a player as good as Diggs WHEN they hit their ceiling. It was moved for a known commodity to hit the window before Allen monopolizes the cap

It does. Not really matter what picks they had. Each pick has value based on its slot. You can’t just give them away because you acquired them by trade. I am not a gm. But comparing the Hopkins trade to this one it seems like the bills were desperate. Digs is 6 feet tall. I was hoping for 6-3 or taller. I’m a bills fan and hope this works out but my opinion is the compensation was too much.Every trade in the NFL history is bad when compared to the Hopkins trade. If that's your standard for evaluation of value you're going to be disappointed for the rest of your life. BOB has poop for brains and would trade anyone for an Egg McMuffin, as evidenced yesterday.
It DOES matter what picks they had before the deal. Again, let's just pretend it's Cleveland's 5th and 6th going to Minnesota. Those picks were acquired for the low, low price of trading Wyatt Teller, who they were possibly going to cut anyway. Like you said, every pick has value. To the Bills, the value of the mid-to-late round picks was usage as trade pieces. 9 draft picks were NOT going to make this roster, especially when 5 of those 9 were in Rounds 5 and 6 where every pick is a dart throw.
At #22 you're not getting Stefon Diggs. Jeudy, Ruggs, Lamb? More than likely off the board before 22. I like Tee Higgins a lot, but he's likely not going to be Diggs. Shenault? Not Diggs either.
This is a move you make when you have a QB on his rookie deal. You have to hit that window to win before you retool the roster to pay the QB.

That is a mountain of compensation
Bills had three 5ths and two 6ths from the Teller and Bodine trades. Let's just say Beane moved the Cleveland picks to simplify it.
Buffalo sends #22, the Wyatt Teller picks (CLE's 2020 5th and 6th) and a 2021 4th
Buffalo gets Diggs and a 2020 7th
Projection guys think the Lawson signing could net Buffalo a 2021 4th compensatory pick also

I'm not thrilled with the price. Even if the Hopkins trade didn't happen (where a better WR went for significantly less) we overpaid here.
The trade is #22, the picks acquired for Wyatt Teller and a 2021 4th. You draft a WR at #22 and hope that he becomes as good as Diggs. It's a hefty price but it's not an overpay.

Not sure how this helps. Also, entry level employees shouldn't be "responsible for clock management". Yikes. If an OC and HC can't decide, after of decades of NFL experience, when to call a TO, when to go for 2, etc., then how will an assistant position coach help them?
It's not that the coaches shouldn't/don't know this stuff, it's that in the middle of the game they should be focused on other things. Maybe they do have a good working knowledge of it and they can make the right call, but maybe they don't and just need a voice in their headset to say "hey this is a good time to go for it" or "Hey it sounds weird but the best clock strategy right now is to call a timeout because X/Y/Z"

Good now I know who to yell about if McDermott's little run of successful challenges at the end of the season was luck and he returns to losing them all again ?
