give me a tackle in Rd 1 and Avila or Schmitz in round 2 and I’d be very happy.  

I don't follow the draft until it actually happens, and I don't even know who Avila and Schmitz are.  I had to look them up. 

 

I'm all on board with this.  I've never been a huge Morse fan, and his days are numbered, so let's get someone solid there.   And a tackle.  Or a premier guard, but tackle is the greater need.

Yeah i think it’s tough to say which is more important because there are many variables;  potential Morse retirement, potential Spencer Brown improvement;  potential bates improvement/regression.  Dawkins future.  
 

as of now, I’d agree, OT more important because Brown needs to be challenged (at least).   I’d draft the tackle first, taking into consideration the prospects in the draft. I think I’d go Broderick Jones= Darnell Wright >Anton Harrison in that order.  There aren’t any IOL worth 27 imo.

Those adjustments should have been made during the season. When it actually counts.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't agree more about the adjustments.   I simply do not think that Dorsey had a very good year.   It was as though he came out of the gate with Daboll's offense and then didn't know what to do with it as defenses around the league adjusted, not just to the Bills but to all the good passing teams.  

 

In my view, either Dorsey needed a rookie year in the job or he just isn't good enough to do the job.   He got the running game going a bit later in the season, but that too was something Daboll did.  

 

That's why I've been saying over and over - Oline and Dorsey. 

 

As for that video, it's actually not as bad as I feared.  There are maybe 15 plays in there, and three of the drops were excellent plays by defenders knocking the ball out of Davis's hands as it arrived.   I can look at those, and Davis can too, and say "should have had it," but the reality is that those are tough catches.  They beg other questions, like what kind of route leaves him so covered, why is Allen throwing to him instead of someone else, etc.  In fact, on some, Davis is double covered.   

 

Then there's one that was an Allen express and Davis was a split second late on it.  We've seen everyone, including Diggs, miss those occasionally.  The last replay on the video is a ball where Allen led him too far - as the ball is going through his outstretched hands, Davis's foot is about to step out of bounds.  

 

As I said before, I think all the detailed data can be misleading.

Thanks.  As I said, I don't know any of these guys, but it's good to know that there are oline prospects worth taking in the first round.  Im my perfect world, I wouldn't mind a tackle at 27 and a trade up in the second to take a center.   One think about taking someone to replace Morse is that he perhaps could displace Bates in his rookie season, let him play beside Morse for a year and eventually move over.   Two birds with one stone.

You're such a gentlemen. We need more posters like you.

I doubt that since one of those players was such a personality off the field he was best buds with a Korean dictator. 

 

Ok I didn't pick the best example but my point more or less stands.  See if anyone can name the OTHER two starters lol.

We haven’t had that kind of run blocking since Robert woods

I have students who love the dolphins and they told me that Sherfield is most effective against zone defenses, that he has more issues against Man coverage. If true could he be the new Cole Beasley? The guy who sits in the hole in the zone and gets 7 yards? I want to be excited but don't see him being better than lil Dirty at this moment.

I guess you could say dirty was better against man. Running away from the coverage. Didn't do very well with finding the soft spot in zone and getting open for Allen. Hopefully this helps with moving the chains.

I would think that against man coverage, Waddle and Hill would laugh and say “Feed Me!”
