Royale with Cheese Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 12 minutes ago, Cornette's Commentary said: Mack is "more likely a 3-4 guy?" Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't the Raiders been running a 4-3 defense for the last several years, including the year Mack won DPOY? Mack made All Pro as both a DE and LB. I think he's played both 4-3 and 3-4 with the Raiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could be the connection. Maybe someone is just extrapolating of some Flight Aware data. Okay....this makes sense. I do remember now Van Nuys having a smaller airport. It's been 10 years since I lived in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, to the original point the closest training camps to Van Nuys are Oxnard (Dallas) and Irvine (Rams) both of which are an hour away. So who knows. Much ado about nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to judge a guy I don't know, but it seems like the latest tweet may be aimed at moving the speculation on to Aaron Donald as the Mack well is running dry.

He never made any specific predictions/speculations. The Mack to Buffalo thing came from here. Folks speculating about who he might be talking about. This whole thing started with his “Beane’s not done” tweet. That’s it. Us crazies have created this monster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, he never speculated on who it was. This is the first tweet he has even mentioned where the Bills guy flew into, and even mentioning the names of Mack and Donald. The only other speculation on those names came from here, not Astro. Edited August 9, 2018 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us crazies have created this monster. That's a good point. He really didnt specify names, we all just kind of ran with it. The vague tweet stuff is something I find a little off putting, but if I had the information I may do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I mean, I can understand if there's interest in a player like Mack or Donald, they're both franchise players, but as it is right now, Buffalo's DL isn't too shabby. Unless, maybe, Murphy's injuries are worse than they thought? Maybe they're working on bringing one of those dudes in and then shipping Murphy away? Seems odd to do that but I dunno, just spitballin' here. Trade Hughes? Does a trade leave them with dead cap space? Because if so, Hughes dead cap number this year is $6.8 million, as opposed to $2.9 million next year, according to Spotrac. So that would kinda lead me to believe they'd wanna move him next season since the cap hit would be less. Same with Shaq Lawson. Of course, they don't necessarily have to move a DL for a DL, teams could be interested in other players... but... DL is really the only spot on the Bills where they have some depth and talent right now so I have no idea who else teams may be looking at.

The dead cap for a post June 1st cut is 2.9 this year, and 2.9 next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan17 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yet, the Raiders hired Guenther from the Bengals, a coach who runs a 43. So, yes, while the Raiders ran a 34 in the past couple seasons, they hired a 43 coach. Also there are articles saying that in 2015 Mack played in a 43 https://scout.com/nfl/Article/NFLs-top-5-OLBs-in-4-3-scheme-105224721/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Until the Bills have a proven QB I would not trade high picks and players, even for Mack or Donald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could somehow get a little picture of Gruden, Beane, McDermott, Hughes, Aaron Donald, Tremaine Edmunds, Zay Jones, Corey Coleman and Kim Pegula in each of those dots it might work better.
