KOKBILLS

Beane will see what is out there for sure. Lots of CB needy teams... I'm not sure playing him as CB4 in the final preseason game is the best way to maximize his value on the open market. I'm also not sure the Bills really want to deal him with all the secondary injuries they suffered last year. Not to mention the fact that Dane Jackson will be a UFA next off season. But all things considered the possibilities of trading Elam are definitely not zero.

It's a concern...

That my friends was not Championship caliber...

So...Maybe not Barkley huh?

Rather have this happen in preseason... Bills look like they never really got off the bus. This is A LOT of penalties so far... Good grief.

That was just a bad pass by Barkley. Waste of a decent drive. I like LB's covering Kincaid though. That's a good thing...

Wow... Just flat... They look really flat... Got all the aggression out in practice this week I guess...

I've been here almost from the very beginning. The funny part of the story is that I did not have a computer yet in the late 90's...I had moved to Charlotte NC in 1990, so there was no one to tell me what was up... But my buddy (who is an Eagles fan) had one at his house. It was like their family comp in the kitchen. I jumped on it, and of course the 1st thing I search is "Buffalo Bills" and boom! TBD...Signed up immediately...But the only time I could get on was when I went over his house... I got a comp FAST...And the rest is history... Best web site/forum ever... Period...End of story...

No...No they have not.

It's a no-brainer... 😎

I know this will seem ridiculous to most...Because it is getting ridiculous. But this is almost word for word what I told a buddy of mine I thought was going on...Like...almost word for word. I think you have to understand human nature a bit and the kind of competitor Diggs is to cross over to a theory like this. But I had the thought yesterday, and here it is again unsolicited. So I think there may be something to it. To be honest when I saw Josh out with that chick, even though I couldn't care less about it, my very first thought was his comments about never being more focused. If it's true that Diggs thought he was distracted by the drama last year, and I have no idea if that is true...But if it is, just imagine a guy with Diggs fire seeing that... So...Anyway...We'll see I guess.

Fair enough...

Must be the "I'm a diva" message...

It's not

Well that's just perfect.

Well... Can't say I saw this coming... I swear I don't want to Ed-bash...Especially now... This deal is assuming an uptick from Oliver to be a bargain. And it could end up being a bargain. He's only played at that level in spurts during his 4 years. I understand Ed has done better when he's had help. Of course. But still...He's a top 10 overall Draft pick who just got a 17 AAV deal with his top sack season being 5 in 2019... The expectations really ramp up from Bills fans and media now...I don't care what the top end market is at DT. Ed just got a lot of money. We'll see...Let's hope he makes it a bargain... That would be cool...

Well...It's not an endorsement...

Watching him in College I can see how McD is going to be tempted to use him a lot beside Milano. And that's not going to come without some risk...But his speed and ability to disrupt if he's kept clean is significant. I don't see anyone else on this roster, including Bernard, who brings that element. So I think he's going to play. And we'll see...

I think a 2-3 year deal is ideal...I prefer 2. And I'd give him as much as I could without being stupid.

No... The Bills will be multiple without DHop...And multiple with him...I'd say he plays around 65-75% of snaps...In that area...He'll drain a bit off Gabe, but not a ton... McKenzie and Crowder were almost exactly 60% combined last year...Kincaid is going to eat up some of that, and probably all of Sweeney/Gilliam's 22.5%...But there are plenty of snaps to go around. What is going to be interesting this year, especially later in the year, is to see how the formations play out if the Bills are a MUCH more effective rushing Offense. And make no mistake they want to do this badly. Because the Bills will be ahead or close in almost every game into the 3rd Quarter. They still have Josh Allen, Diggs, a very nice group of receiving talent overall, and the opportunity to kill teams with a efficient balanced approach in the 2nd half of games will be there...They have the personnel to do that too...So who knows how it looks at the end of the year? Throwing DHop in this mix is pure cheat code for the Bills. He's literally picture perfect made for what they need most in the short/intermediate range. Just get him and worry about the snaps after winning the SB...

I think they're pretty much done in the back 7... I think they also believe they can be better. And not purely because they stay healthier.

Beane has zero regard for how old and tired I am...

He would seem to be the obvious choice if he's still there... And I think the 5th is about right for him... He's a high-effort guy and I think he can work into the rotation as a Rookie...

For me at least it's not so much the player, it's the plan. Or maybe the lack of knowledge (on my part) on exactly what the plan is... Since the 3rd round last year the Bills have had 9 picks...3 of those picks have been for undersized LB's with VERY similar athletic profiles. Bernard - 6007 - 224 - 4.59 40 - 8.88 RAS Spector - 6011 - 233 - 4.60 40 - 9.13 RAS Williams - 6010 - 228 - 4.49 40 - 8.81 RAS That's 1/3 of our Draft haul since last year (so far), on REAL similar players, and not one of them is a natural replacement for Edmunds. Now, McD certainly seems to have a different plan in mind on how these LB's are going to be used...but 3 in 9 picks just seems like questionable roster building to me. I know this much. the Bills do not have a single WR with Tyler Scott's profile in house...So...I don't know...
