JohnC Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 1 hour ago, thebandit27 said: Correct re Milano. How nice would it be to see the tables turn on NE? Where they sign someone else's player, only to see him poop the bed and then return to his former team and be productive? Doubt it happens, but that would be sweet I'm not sure if Gille just didn't fit or more likely the other players moved up ahead of him. The biggest mistake I have seen the Pats make in bringing in a player that not only didn't fit but was completely incapable of adapting to their system was Chad Johnson. They brought in a receiver who wasn't a good route runner and couldn't function in their precise passing game. Because he was basically clueless in their complex passing offense he was nearly useless. The Pats are usually pretty good in bringing in roll players and maximizing their talents. The Johnson fiasco was a fiasco that they should have known in advance wouldn't work. The Pats are usually pretty good in finding the right pieces but as do all teams that do make mistakes.

BADOLBILZ Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 2 hours ago, PromoTheRobot said: Not really. He got paid. Good on him. Yeah he got paid more than the Bills were willing to........didn't have to take a beating......and was on a Super Bowl team. That was life changing money and memories for him. Easy and right decision by him and anyone who thinks he should regret it has a lack of perspective. As for the Bills.........their running game fell off a cliff because of bad decisions made by McDermott last year. Keeping the Roman/Lynn playbook and keeping Gillislee coming off a season where he and McCoy averaged about 5.5 ypc would have been indicative of good decision making. Hiring Dennison and signing Tolbert were major failures by McDermott. Shady took the worst beating of his career and career low ypc. As for Milano.....I am hoping he takes a step forward beyond JAG status this year. He had flashes but he also was a mess at times. He's a default starter but if joureyman ST'er Ramon Humber can provide similar play to you then you aren't exactly a beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took the better offer, which is natural enough. Someone up-thread was whining about him saying nice things about his new team, which is a strange complaint. 2. After successive years of having & losing Karlos & Mike, I think the team (if not the fans) grew blasé about back-up RBs. Thus, Tolbert. 3. Sometimes it seems like Belichick goes well out of his way to overpay Bills free agents. If millions of dollars weren't involved, it would almost look like trolling...

purple haze Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 (edited) 3 hours ago, BillsRdue said: Gilly and Ivory spelling Shady would take some of the load off his shoulders to carry the O, especially since it's going to take some time to get the passing game up to speed with the new QB's, OL and WR. He'd be fighting for the last spot with Cadet, who looked pretty solid at times. I think he's an upgrade over Murphy, Jones and Green. The one negative is Gilly doesn't have a lot of special teams value, which seems to be valuable with this staff. They like the utility guys who can do more than one thing, if they are not starting. Murphy looked good last year when he got to play. I wouldn't say Gillislee is an obvious upgrade. He did nothing in New England, so is that who he is now? Or is he still TD Mike from his Bills days? Last I saw Murphy he was running through the Dolphins. He's also younger. Gillislee does play special teams though. He did when he was with the Bills anyway. He was a Rex/Whaley guy so I doubt we see him back. Edited May 6, 2018 by purple haze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
