Johnnyp566 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Next years draft needs to include a massive emphasis on offense and the interior is no exception. The Bills pursued Saffold in the past and it’s too bad he didn’t sign because then he wouldn’t be in a one and done situation. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmotionallyUnstable Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 0 sacks….due to Allen’s fantastic pocket mobility and awareness. Probably gave up a ton of pressures over that span. He has been up and down. He has been serviceable, and good at times, yet inconsistent and they can definitely upgrade from him. Awesome to hear he is liking his place in Buffalo, and I’d love to have a guy of his expertise as a depth player in the future. 5 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I mean, if he wants to come back on a cheap contract.. sure. … as depth to our hopefully Day 1/Day 2 OL pick(s). 6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many times when players say they’ll do “whatever it takes” to play somewhere, that does not include taking vet a minimum contract. He’s making $6M for this season. I don’t want him back at anywhere near that. I’d certainly take him back near vet min tho. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 If we draft an OG on Day 2 and retain Saffold for another year as the primary interior depth you won't hear complaints from me. Certainly sounds like he'd tell his agent to accept a discount. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The funny thing about this quote is he tweeted it out to what he thought was Brandon Beane’s official account. The Bills GM does not have a Twitter account, it was a burner account. Bills fans pointed this out to him and then re-tweeted it to Brandon Beane’s wife’s official account. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brand J Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Does anyone know where to find/have access to the pressures/sacks each lineman has given up thus far?

But we have to start filling holes with immediate impact from our draft picks. OL is no exception. You can’t kick the proverbial cap space can down the road forever. At some point you have to pay the bill. New Orleans is a good example. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastport bills Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 This guy has been a great addition. First he’s a road grader and is opening holes for backs that were viewed as pedestrian. He hasn’t allowed a sack which is hard to fathom. Finally, he loves being a Bills player. Bring Roger back because he’s locker room plus as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he expects to be paid like a top guard in the NFL, I think he's in for a rude awakening. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know this regime values competition, and tries to make every role a battle to win. If Saffold is down to take a hometown discount, and we bring in a lower-round draft pick to learn and battle for a spot, that's optimal.

I agree. Too often, stats don’t tell the entire story. Like last year when our d was rated number one but most would agree it wasn’t the best in the league. Well…Saffold may not have given up a sack, but he hasn’t been great either. Beane bet on Allen’s talent to mask the deficiencies of the line, which is exactly what has happened. 31 minutes ago, streetkings01 said: Interior lineman and playmakers needs to be the focus of the draft. The off-season needs to be finding cash to resign our defensive players via restructures and cap casualties. Totally agree. Prime draft assets need to go to the offense. Enough of betting on Allen to cover up the deficiencies of a patch work oline. Get him a couple new linemen and a weapon or two to pair with Diggs. 20 minutes ago, eball said: While Saffold’s performance is obviously subject to critique, how great is it to have a veteran NFL player openly lobby to stay in the organization? I think Saffold realizes his career is winding down and is doing a little butt kissing cause he knows his options may be limited. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlgarsh Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 RT is a bigger need than LG IMO based on play this year. Draft both, Saffold can hold the fort down while teaching a young guy what to do. I think at this point, Brown has regressed. May be due to scheme, who knows.
