stevewin Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thought this was a really interesting article - a small look behind the curtain. One thing is for sure, I don't expect the roster Sunday night to be the same as after cuts on Sat http://buffalonews.com/2017/08/29/inside-bills-gm-brandon-beane-assistant-gm-joe-schoen-ready-chaotic-24-hours/ The biggest impact, though, could come Saturday. In what could be a free for all, up to 1,184 players will become free agents at the same time. Schoen has spent weeks overseeing the personnel department’s preparations for the day. “We started narrowing down our focus and kind of have an idea in terms of projecting who's going to get cut, who's not going to get cut,” he said. “We've got a good feel of that.” Part of that process involves building a board similar to the one a team would use for the draft, ranking players. .. During the team’s mandatory minicamp in June, Beane had the whole personnel department, both college and pro scouts, get together. The goal was to make sure that the entire group was unified. “I've seen it where college staffs and pro staffs aren't gelled for various reasons – sometimes there's fingers pointing of, ‘you know, you pay these free agents or you guys aren't drafting well’ – things like that. We've had them cross looking at things. We'll involve our pro guys after free agency in the draft process just like we included the college guys in this part. I think it's important so that everybody sees everybody's work and understands everybody's pitching in.” That continued during training camp at St. John Fisher College, where the personnel department had a room to just “hang out, talk, B.S. about life,” Beane said. “We played hoops together. People saw the competitive side of guys. There were some moments when it got a little heated. But that's cool because everybody says 'man, if this guy wants it here, he's going to want it out there on the road. He wants to win. He'll do anything.' I really felt a great bond and the feedback we got back from the college guys as they left was super excited. So I feel great where we're at.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in Atlanta Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Wait, is he high, or stoned, and is it MJ or coke? More than likely not both. With a high pressure position like that, if anything, it's the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I really feel like Beane is a leader of the personnel side. He isn't a scout he is an orchestrator who is going to get his guys working together. I'm encouraged by the way he operates even if I haven't agreed with all his decisions so far.

Yes, at the very least I feel like a level-headed adult is making decisions. That's pretty much the state of our team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
