Beasley on Buffalo: "Things changed within the organization. It was time for me to move on."

[eball]

Yeah, it's a real shocker that Beasley and Feliciano are throwing shade at the Bills.  Beane told both of them to pound sand.

Exactly.  As I wrote in the Feliciano thread, it’s Q. Spain 2.0.

 

Beasely doesn’t even have a job yet,

not in free agency, before the draft, post draft and not even before camp.  Lastly, there have been a couple injuries around the league in camp and still no workouts as it would be news somewhere.

 

Between his injuries last year, and his outspoken attitude becoming a Thorne for Beane, do you think these GM’s don’t talk.  He’ll probably get signed to close to the minimum with some incentives once Slot WRs go on IR.

Nothing but love for Cole. He will be missed.

I'll confidently go on record that Cole will not be missed at all on the football field, and probably not in the locker room, for the Buffalo Bills this season.  He has a certain type of fan following but I'm pretty sure the majority of people in the Bills' organization were tired of his shtick -- and he has lost a step on the field as well.

 

I am appreciative of what Beasley brought to Buffalo in 2019 and 2020...he absolutely helped with Josh's development and was very productive on the field.  Once it started becoming more about Beas and less about the team, I lost interest.  If he could help us win, fine, but I'm glad they moved on.

 

[Virgil]

Beasley needs to let it go.  Even if what he says is true, how he’s handled it is exactly why he’s not on the team.   
 

They clearly have a great culture and he keeps making public comments.  Right or wrong, I don’t want that in my locker room.

Well put Eman.  It’s not even his twitter schtick, but more so look at the improvement in the slot when McKenzie came in for the second Patriots game.

 

 

[FilthyBeast]

Seems like Beasely is taking a direct shot at McD/Beane and indicating things aren't as rosy as the media and fanbase may perceive them. Don't understand all the hate thrown his way either especially since he's the one that asked to be traded/released.

 

This isn't shocking though considering the stink from the KC playoff game is not going away anytime soon and the only thing that will truly negate it is a SB win. Also still think there is a clear and present danger  for this season to end up being a major disappoint especially if this team gets off to a slow start given the brutal opening schedule.

Why is he not on the Giants then? They need WRs.

 

Good question.  Remember that Joe Schoen, Giants GM, was hired first and brought Daboll in.  No question in my mind that it's Schoen's show, personnel-wise.

 

Answer is speculation:

1) Schoen was "in" on the Bills end of season personnel evaluations.  If I'm right cutting Beas was performance based, Schoen may agree.

2) Daboll is not the Giants OC.  Mike Kafka didn't leave his role on a perennial playoff contender to be Daboll's Dingleberry.  Kafka may not be installing the route concepts Beasley runs.  Remember he came from a team where the TE was the "go to" guy.

3) The Giants needed to "get right" on the cap.  They have two WR, Kenny Golladay and Sterling Shepard, in their top-10 cap hits.  It's possible that they made Bease a vet-minimum type offer, but Beasley (his tweet supports this) isn't interested to play for that.

4) The Buck stops with Daboll now.  He has to take a hard look at what will build the culture he wants.  "I'll only follow the rules I agree with"?

5) Beasley may feel Pigs will Fly and Hell will Freeze before I play for any (nominally) NY team.

The changes are obvious.  McB doesn’t care about offense anymore.  They only care about defense

If this offense falters this year it's likely going to be more about the OC change/playing a tougher schedule than losing Beasely.

 

But at the same time still think a lot of fans are misguided in the belief that McKenzie or someone else on the current roster is going to be a drop in replacement or even better than one of the better slot WR's in NFL history.

This isn't coming from me. Bease is at least the 3rd former player to speak out about this organization and/or the KC debacle, there's also others that spoke with Aaron Quinn anonymously who were mystified about how McD handled the 13 second situation and addressed the team afterword. 

 

I know some fans live in a state of denial and have already booked their tickets to Phoenix for the SB, but the reality of the situation is until this team does actually do something of note there are going to be lingering questions that need answered especially in regards to the alleged perfect culture/lockerroom under McD.

 

 

[SectionC3]

I’m so glad he’s gone.  I really am.  This guy never grasped that his job last year was to check his opinions at the door and do everything he could to help the team win the Super Bowl.  Not only that, he apparently flaunted rules that his employer either issued or by which it was bound.  He’s entitled to whatever definition of freedom he wishes to apply.  But not at work.   Him and Feliciano can get together and complain about how their former employers didn’t tolerate insubordination and significant unauthorized changes to body composition.  Good riddance to both of them.

I’ve heard (second hand, but from a “clean” filter) from someone on the flight home that it was a circus.  Wildly emotional.  Guys punching out seats, screaming at coaches, offense screaming at defense, guys crying.  Culture and credibility are going to be issues this year, no doubt about it.  But I think the Beasley nonsense has a far different origin and backstory than does the 13 second debacle.

I think it would be a surprise if the plane ride home immediately after the game WEREN'T like that.  Isaiah McKenzie had a "cry from the heart" in a post-season podcast with Ty Dunne about how he got on the plane and told the defense "I'm going home to pack, and this is your fault" "Best defense in the league and you can't stop them for 13 seconds?"  Guys thought that game was won, and we were going to the AFCCG.

 

I also think that McDermott's "Omerta" looks a little different in the light of a bunch of moves that were made off-season on D and Levi Wallace's words on the subject.  I point to Lorenzo Alexander's comments "The players for sure know what happened.  The players will handle it."

 

That's not to say that you're wrong about the vets in the organization keeping a close eye on coaching and leadership.

[H2o]

To me, I believe it's all related to his Twitter rants, Covid protocols, and the vaccine stuff. I'm sure they did tell him to tone it down because it was an unnecessary distraction at the time. All he had to do was explain his stance one time and let it be. Instead he kept on and on. I'm sure that drew the ire of some within the organization. That's the only thing that comes to mind when he mentions something about not being able to be himself. Honestly, who knows what was said behind closed doors though.

The way I took it was that this was beyond expectations.  The word “wild” was stressed.  And I tend to think it was, in fact, out of control because we haven’t heard a peep about from our local beat guys, some of whom surely know what’s going on.  I suspect that Bills PR wanted to keep a lid on it and they put the word out (much like has happened with the situation regarding Kim’s health) that this one is a no-fly zone (bad pun intended) for anyone who wants to keep his/her relationship with the team.  

[Mango]

I actually think "the change" is JA17. Cole came in to the team to try and bring along a young QB. The QB has now arrived, Cole lost a step, became a distraction, and his role was JAG. Instead of "teaching Josh (or McKenzie)' he started having to taking direction. That's the change. 

But we are all just a bunch of sheep who can't see through the league, or the world, or whatever Kanye-esque conspiracy theory CB wants to rant about. 

 

 

 

[sven233]

Awesome dude, stands up for what he believes in, made several big plays in big moments for this team, played through painful injuries, and helped Allen become the all world monster that he is now.  Nothing but respect for the guy.  I wish him all the best (unless he ever plays against the Bills).

And this is likely 100% fact especially if the players on this team truly give a damn. The game was won (not once but twice in the final 2 minutes) and the "#1 defense' and horrendous coaching blew it 3 straight series including the OT period. 

 

This is why no matter what fans want to believe, if I'm the Pegulas anything short of a SB (appearance) and you have to seriously consider cutting the cord on McD. If this team struggles and for some reason don't even make the playoffs, and/or is one and done (especially if said opponent is KC again) it's an even easier decision IMO to make the coaching change immediately.

 

But with Bease you are probably right and not sure he left just because of the 13 seconds stuff..

[C.Biscuit97]

I can’t remember a player who didn’t commit a crime that I turned on so quick. Loved the Beasley signing. Even like a few of his rap songs. But dude has become such a Whiny female dog. And nothing is ever his fault. Dude needs to group and sopping crying about everything in social media. He dug his own grave and he’s not nearly as good as he thinks he is.
