That's the point though. You're not relying on him. You've got Tre and Norman and Wallace and Neal and Taron Johnson.

Happy Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Not sure why we're so excited about this. He hardly plays (stays healthy). When he does play, EJ is good, but that isn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 9 minutes ago, Clemfield2622 said: how much depth do you want? you can't be 3 Pro-Bowlers deep at each position. Norman is the expensive veteran, Gaines the cheap veteran and Wallace is the cheap young guy. I'd say they're set up pretty well. It can always be better, but I think most teams would be envious of our secondary depth. Our depth is great. I just don't feel entirely comfortable with any one of our presumed starters at the #2 spot. In an ideal world I'd pencil in Gaines, I know he can play that role very well and he knows McDermott's defense. But he's never been healthy. I don't feel good about Norman or Wallace as anything but rotational/depth roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsInWilmingtonNC Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I keep thinking I know where our weakness is, and where we’ll go in the draft, and Beane keeps changing that.... WR - Check, DE - Check, DT - Check, CB - CHECKKKK... What will be next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babulator Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I think it's great signing, we lose nothing with still having Wallace and stand to gain if Norman and Gaines play well & stay healthy. Also, Beane is no dummy, I'm certain his contract is team friendly and incentive laden. This helps push Norman to rise up for the #2 spot and really the same can be said about pushing Taron Johnson to rise up for that slot position. I didn't dislike Kevin Johnson but I think our overall depth and competition on an already solid group is better now with these additions. +1 from me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Who Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 44 minutes ago, Paup 1995MVP said: Great signing....if can stay healthy. Our top 4 boundary corners if we were to keep Wallace White Gaines and Norman are as good as if not better then any teams' in the league. Throw in Taron Johnson and Siran Neal and its a hell of a group of corners. Also that is one less need in the draft. I would hope we go WR RB OT and DE (not necessarily in that order) with our top 4 picks. In fact, I would be fine with taking our 7 picks and packaging some of them to trade up in a given round if we saw someone dropping who really like at one of those positions. If we can get another potential stud at WR and RB in the draft. (And a solid prospect OT and DE) I am fine with only drafting 4 guys. And if we happen to have our 7th round pick when the dust settles draft the best kicker available (I doubt Blankenship from Georgia lasts to the 7th though-but he did miss a short kick that cost the Dawgs the South Carolina game last year) Don't wait till the seventh. Rodrigo is worth a 5th or 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 12 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Like it. This signing was understandable. The Norman pickup was perplexing. In his last season with the Redskins the team was more comfortable with him on the bench than on the field. When Carolina walked away from him they were smart. When the Redskins signed him they ended up being duped. When a team signs a big ticket player they should be smart enough to put that player in a scheme that he is best suited to. They didn't do it.

TigerJ Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) I believe his last season with the Bills was 2017. He played in 12 games, including their wild card game. If he can play in 12 games in 2020, he's worth it. Edited March 26, 2020 by TigerJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 The biggest issue we had during "the drought" - aside from a glaring lack of talent - was a glaring lack of depth. Love, love, love what Beane has done, at pretty much every position group. No more JAG's filling in when starters get injured. Winning championships is as much about quality depth as anything.

Hopefully there is a season. If there is, there will be reduced prep time. Teams with new coaches and systems or new players who don’t know it will be at a disadvantage. Hopefully Diggs learns it quickly but it’s still better than a rookie trying to learn how to l play in the NFL AND a new system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
