babulator Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 The business side of football is cold for sure, but no one should feel sad for him. He's earned significant money and participated where most people can only dream of playing. Like the person, but glad to see the Bills move on. I'll still visit his restaurant if I make it down that way. 😋 Pretty epic burn if only it was meant to be. Isiah: Your Move BBB. Beane: Your cut. 🤐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folz Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I'm thinking that maybe his tweet to BBB was that he knew he was going to get released, so he wanted Brandon to get on with it so he could try to find another team as free agency started rolling. That's why when Harty was signed and someone tweeted him about it, he responded with something like, that's exactly what I wanted. He knew that was his replacement and knew that he would finally get released. I'm guessing that he knew which way the wind was blowing at OBD. Wish nothing but the best for Isaiah and I thank him for his time here, but this is a good for everyone move. Just time to move on. McKenzie's speed makes him a great gadget guy, and he can work in the slot against man coverage, but he struggled in the slot vs. zone. Obviously he wasn't meant to be a full-time slot, he was to split time with Crowder, but when Crowder went down, it was obvious that Isaiah couldn't get the job done, full-time, on his own. And since you can't really trust him in the kicking game either and Dorsey runs a lot fewer jet sweeps, etc. than Daboll did, the writing was on the wall. He can be a very dangerous weapon for someone in a specialist role, but this team needs more versatile, all-around, consistent play to get over that final hump. Need to maximize every roster spot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just going to continue to say Singletary is underrated until objectively proven otherwise. He's shown the ability to run people over when needed, including famously (to me) carrying one Patriot literally on his back for 10 yards all the way for a first down while trucking another Patriot onto his butt. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Sad see Mac who was a great teammate and a nice gadget WR at times go but he had a bad year last year seeing a double digit drop in his catch percentage and having a not so low contract means he has to go. I do like that this means likely they will be targeting WR more via trade or the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overpaying for jeudy (reports now saying a trade is unlikely)? Overpaying for OBj? Trade for a WR that isn’t even on the block? draft Zay Flowers? Trade up for which WR? you act like there are several 1Bs available in free agency, available in the draft or for trade. That’s simply just not the case.

I do like that this means likely they will be targeting WR more via trade or the draft. His contract about as low as it could go and not be vet minimum. His catch % 65% just fine for less gadget tosses and more use as WR. The reason he’s gone is that Bills are paying Harty 50% more to be an upgrade at the same position “durable fast Smurf”. The fast Smurf parts are for real, we’ll hope he hits the “durable upgrade”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
