RoyBatty is alive Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I cant recall a more overmatched opponent in my the last 25 years as a Bills fans than the Texans. I can only identify 4 Texans that I think would be an upgrade over what we have starting. Tackle Laramie Tunsil Guard Max Sharping Cornerback#2 Vernon Hargreaves Punter Cameron Johnston There are other players like Justin Reid that come close but no way I would break up the Hyde-Poyer combination or Marcus Cannon at RT but that slot seems to be improving. And Brandon Cooks is a stud WR, shut him down and dont let the Texans run wild we should win easily... i wont even suggest replacing any Bills. Any given Sunday and the Texans are playing really hard for Culley. The Bill O Brien era was dreadful for players and staff alike and most of the Texans have bought in big time, so I still think the Texans can win, especially with the weather and our missing players. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I disagree with Hargreaves. He was drafted high, but he has never played particularly well. I would much rather have Wallace or Jackson over him. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Brandin Cooks is pretty darn good. I know we love all of our receivers. But I don’t know I think Cooks would probably be second behind Diggs. That’s not a slight to our guys I just think Cooks is undervalued. Of course I’m sure someone will bring up him being on like six different teams already. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His best year was 5/6 years ago when they had to worry about JJ Watt in his prime. This year had one sack against Trevor Lawrence in his Lawrence's first game. I think Whitney is on the downslide now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 I haven't seen him play this year, but if I had to win one game, I'd probably rather start Mark Ingram than Devon Singletary. Zack Moss, maybe not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks is a wr id love to see the bills sign if he ever gets FA status and has the right to choose his destination. He may have been on a number of teams already but he's always been traded to his new team. Yet he still produced 3 consecutive 1,000 yd seasons with 3 different teams. That speaks to his being a talented top wr. I think he'd fit right in with our wrs.

Maybe if Houston wants to draft a new qb and wants extra draft ammo they'll trade him to us for some draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not when they keep getting production and high picks back, no. If a team had spent a #1 then canned him for a #5 then sure. He has had 1,000 yard seasons for all 4 teams and this year is averaging over 100 yards per game on one of the worst offenses in football where he is the only legit threat. When the Saints traded him they were tight on the cap and weren't going to be able to pay him so they cashed in. The Pats probably regret trading him to LAR but they were getting their first back. And the Rams chose Woods and Kupp ahead of him as better fits for the Goff offense. If Stafford was their QB at that point I am pretty sure they'd have kept Cooks. They went out and signed Jackson this offseason because with Stafford you need that homerun ball guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
