I am sure he could have gotten more on the open market next offseason. I think between Taron and Milano they are showing that they believe in the culture that Beane and Mcd have put in place. I mean this team looks really close out there and having fun all the time. Even Mcafee mentioned to Knox during his show that he thinks we have one of the closest knit rosters around. sometimes you chase the money and then you end up in Miami, then Houston.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 I was hoping we’d give him a contract like Mike Hilton- 4 years- 24M- def not a discount Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me just cite The Athletic article published yesterday where multiple people in the NFL are quoted saying they don’t understand why fans think Tremaine Edmunds isn’t a stud despite everyone outside of Buffalo viewing him as a special player. **Spoiler: It’s because fans have no idea what his responsibilities are and the problems he poses for opposing offenses.** FYI - I did analysis on the Bills drafting under McBeane and then just with Beane. Beane is one of the best drafters since he took over the draft for the Bills in 2018… he’s better than “pretty ok.” I also specifically said “The Bills” in my OP and not “Beane” for this reason exactly. Sorry I misread your first post. As far Beane- Like I said, some great, some bad, some average. Allen- Home run Trading up for Edmunds- Not good but not horrible Harrison Phillips- Bad T Johnson- Very good Neal- Descent pick for 5th round Oliver- He's descent but would like a bit more from the 9th pick off the board. Let's call this one TBD Trading up for Ford- Looking horrible now Singletary- I'm not high on him myself, I would say below average pick. Knox- Looking good now. Depth was very good in that draft. 2020/2021 still too early to tell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 7.5M is a bit steep for a nickel Cb but considering our scheme, I figured we might over pay to keep him. Not that he’s not worth the money…..I just didn’t think we’d pay him that much Yeah… this is definitely on the high end for a NCB. Only Kenny Moore makes more. Taron slots in above Mike Hilton, Jonathan Jones and Bryce Callahan now. Not the end of the world considering we played like 91% of our defensive snaps in Nickel last year. It’s a valuable, starting position in our defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 They know they likely can underpay at CB2 and overpay at nickel to maintain a stout secondary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't. He can be great at times.(like last week) But he doesn't do it consistently enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to text my friend back with “Beane is so good” but the dog saw his friend and was pulling on his leash. He’s pretty strong. So I hit the voice recognition and it came out “Penis so good.” Did the text from your friend read "Johnson extended"? 1 16 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 Congratulations Taron Johnson. For a player whose only claim to fame entering the league was getting hit in the head during passing drills at the combine, he has developed into a solid if not strong Nickel Back for the Bills. Thank you, Mr. Beane! GO BILLS!!! 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, most non-PFF experts disagree with you, as do his fellow players and coaching (yes, there are a few who agree with you) and at 23, he's been the leader of a defense that has been among the top in the league (except oddly enough when he is injured) for over 3 years. I'd call that a hit in the draft, but you're entitled to your opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go by that metric, then you would believe Ike Boettker was better than Tre white pound for pound last year. (No joke as he was rated higher) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can count 2 truly bad draft picks in 5 years. They’ve been one of the best drafting teams over the last 5 years. Is that what I said? I said “Great move, Bills” and that’s your response. Nice try… Just curious, which are the two you're referring to?? The only ones I can think of are Ford and Joseph the LB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
