GunnerBill Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, BillsVet said: It speaks volumes about his team-building strategy that, in his first off-season as a HC, he signed 2 UFA safeties and drafted a CB in the first. I know having these players allows McD to run his defense and there are some benefits to that. Thing is, the cost to retain these 3 is going to rise exponentially. Tre will want a huge extension, Poyer just re-signed a 2 year 20.5M extension, although Hyde's contract expires after the 2021 season. It's not as wise an investment given what we know about how difficult it is to keep a defense together and that side of the ball's impact on the W column. Except in recent years having a good to great secondary has almost become a pre-requisite for winning a Superbowl.... every bit as much as having a good to great Quarterback. In the last 8 or 9 years the only real exception I can find are the Eagles and the Chiefs - although the difference between the Chiefs team that won the Superbowl with Mahomes and the one that didn't.... could well be argued it is the Honey Badger. Think of it this way.... if you have your QB you are going to be leading lots and if you are leading lots teams are passing on you lots. That means you need good players back there. I think McDermott can and will keep replenishing and coaching up these DBs and it will continue to be critical to their success.

I think he showcased his talents on a pretty consistent basis, both with the Beatles and with WIngs/solo stuff. Tons of great bass lines, lead vocals and harmonies. Yeah ... he wrote lots of radio-friendly, poppy tunes. But he also wrote some high-quality stuff. He just loved writing hits and those hits are why he's loved across the globe.

I don't understand the fascination with him and I didn't understand the fascination with Jasper. This all may be true BUT i certainly understand the fascination with Jasper, to get a guy that big that was as quick as he was incredible to say the least. Fascination with Johnson comes from his upbringing and his time at Auburn and CFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Baseball will be hard pressed to pull off a season but they have little contact. The NBA just MAY survive the bubble crap (wrap?) approach. The NFL has almost zero chance of having a meaningful season. Is that unpopular enough? It may not be uncommon, but it’s probably almost universally unpopular. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I mean, I like the guy, he's a good redemption story and he clearly works hard. But man, last season much of this board was in a fever pitch to get him on the field and all I could think was, if he's as good as everyone thinks he is then he'd be out there already. He came up big in the Titans game and had a few other stick-moving catches but beyond that I felt like he was just another guy. I'd assume Gabe Davis takes over as the "size" receiver this year.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Trent Murphy is pretty good. Plays to the whistle and makes an impact in the pass rush. When he’s out there, he is effective and has a high motor. The guy has been hurt a lot, I will concede that but he’s much better then he gets credit for. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The similarities always bothered me BUT there is one major difference. Josh Allen loves the game of football and is wiling to be a team leader and work hard to improve. Locker didnt love the game, didnt improve at all and just walked away from the game when he should have been in his prime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty confident had Beane been in place before the draft we would have selected Watson or Mahomes. It all worked out to a point but I still find it strange that ownership hired the HC before the GM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
