GoBills808 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 If I had to design the physical prototype of the modern LB it would be Tremaine Edmunds. He has the potential to be prime Jamie Collins 2.0, just an absolute unicorn in terms of size/speed/strength. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mountain Man Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Does anyone really care? Since the last agreement with the players apart from very rare occasions like Bosa all drafted players sign pretty quickly and the deal is basically a formality because the terms are so rigid. I know it's the off season but is it really newsworthy unless a player DOESN'T sign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boater Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Wow. If you're an older Bills fan, you view signing the first rounder so quickly with amazement. In the old days, #1 draft picks were a hard chase for Ralph to sign. They'd bicker for more money, they'd flee to the CFL or USFL (Jim Kelly). Negotiations would drag into the summer. Some players were real pricks. I like the new unwritten rules: draft picks sign in inverse order of their selection, making X percent more than the person selected after them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Sam's last series in the game against Tampa. 1st down sack Sam. 2nd down sack Sam. 3rd down sack Sam- he got hurt on play- career over. That is what I remember went down. Any confirmation?

Doc Brown Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I hope in the next CBA they keep the rookie wage scale the same. Jamarcus Russel held out until September and then got a 68 million dollar contract with 31.5 million guaranteed. I love the idea of proving yourself in order to earn your next contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Poz may have been a first round talent we got in the second round. After 2 years (took a while due to missed games with injury) I realized he was JAG with limitations. He is adequate in some schemes or below average for a 3 down LB. London Fletcher in his time in Buffalo (as I may have been wrong) seemed like a slightly above 3 down LB. Takeo Spikes never regained HOF skills and impact after the Achilles injury. Side note and question..........has anyone really recovered from an Achilles and been as good as they were before? Arguable, but, almost never. Spikes with the Achilles was a shame for him and us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way the teams will let it go back to the old days. No doubt they will change it a bit, maybe having more variation based on position, and maybe some more flexibility outside of headline numbers, but there is no way the league and teams will let it go back to the old way of doing it.
