Doc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 It's not that big a cap hit compared to the rest of the league. 20th is about right for Taylor . That's not the issue. It's tying up a good chunk of money for a player they're looking to replace ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 That's not the issue. It's tying up a good chunk of money for a player they're looking to replace ASAP. Unless ASAP means the 2017 season, they should pick it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Unless ASAP means the 2017 season, they should pick it up. He'll get $31M guaranteed which means he'll be kept for at least 2 more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 @Jeff_McLane Remember Chad Hall? Former #Eagles WR was hired by new Bills coach Sean McDermott to be an off asst. Joins David Culley and Juan Castillo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ranking the coaching hires: Who's No. 1?Will Anthony Lynn's Chargers be in the playoffs a year from now? What's the most encouraging thing about Sean McVay's tenure with the Rams so far? Gregg Rosenthal ranks the hires from this cycle. 6) Sean McDermott, Buffalo Bills: It's unfair to rank McDermott this low, but someone has to bring up the rear. McDermott is well respected throughout the NFL, but he has the fewest tangible assets and perhaps the most difficult job of the new coaches. The Bills have high expectations and a flawed roster. The organization also has an entrenched GM in Doug Whaley who hasn't shown a great aptitude for finding talent. McDermott made his name as a defensive coordinator for the Carolina Panthers under a defensive-minded head coach in Ron Rivera, so it's difficult to tease out what his impact was. The Panthers' defense wasn't exactly a shutdown unit in his tenure, despite being well-coached. McDermott has been a defensive coordinator the last eight seasons between his time in Philadelphia and Carolina. Those defenses ranked in the top 10 in points allowed twice. McDermott's offensive coordinator will be former Broncos OC Rick Dennison, a coach who was attached at the hip to Gary Kubiak for most of the last two decades. The Bills will likely be breaking in a new quarterback, one of many challenges for Dennison in the role. Perhaps McDermott and Dennison are NFL lifers who just needed this chance to show their value. They will have to be exceptional to excel in Buffalo, where they face an uphill task. Fewest tangible assets among all of the teams who hired new coaches? Don't agree with this take.

hondo in seattle Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ranking the coaching hires: Who's No. 1? Fewest tangible assets among all of the teams who hired new coaches? Don't agree with this take. There are no new insights in Rosenthal's article and no reason to believe his opinion is any more valid than the opinions expressed here on TBD. I probably think the roster is better than he does. And without inside information on our HC and coordinators, I'm not sure how well you can predict their success or failure. The resumes of our guys look a lot like the resumes of the guys coaching other teams. No better maybe but no worse. It's hard to know how good they really are. We'll just have to wait and see. Of course, Rosenthal is paid to have an opinion even when he's not particularly well-informed. He writes this stuff cuz he has to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Arnold Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Ranking the coaching hires: Who's No. 1? Fewest tangible assets among all of the teams who hired new coaches? Don't agree with this take. It's a damn miracle that the Bills have managed to win 24 games over the last three seasons with the worst roster in the league. Rex Ryan and Doug Marrone must be geniuses. Apparently, excess punt decisions really do work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT02 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 @BrentAxeMedia Gotta give the #Bills credit. Rick Dennison (OC) and Leslie Frazier (DC) are pretty solid hires to go with Sean McDermott. I agree but I wish they would have gone hard after Wade Phillips, I think he is one of if not the best in DC in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been in the cards had the Bills hired a HC with an offensive background, but not with McDermott on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HT02 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 That's one of my problems with this process, the Bills are hiring a head coach not a defensive coordinator. Philips is the best DC in the NFL but no so great at being a head coach. The Chargers hired Lynn but he kept Wisenhunt as his OC which I think is a smart move.

26CornerBlitz Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 McDermott's staff gets good marks from Ex-GM Dominik Former NFL GM Mark Dominik had high praise for the coaching staff put together by Sean McDermott. He also thinks the defensive scheme could lead to a bounce back year for Buffalo's defensive line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 ^That is what I'm most excited to see, this defensive line back to abusing quarterbacks and taking over games. The last two years were brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianFan Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I agree but I wish they would have gone hard after Wade Phillips, I think he is one of if not the best in DC in football. Doesn't he run a 3-4 D? Which doesn't necessarily fit our personnel? I like Wade. McDermott is likely a better fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
