MrEpsYtown Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 8 hours ago, Richard Noggin said: I think EVERY highlighted play shows Floyd aligned at 9T or even wider. Erik utters the phrase, "wide alignment," repeatedly. So obviously that's where Floyd flourishes. Can really use his speed, length, and flexibility. The Bills weren't really much of a "wide-9" defensive front under Frazier, right? Love this new weapon. Not too much wide nine, just when they were in the double A gap mug front. However, McDermott’s Carolina teams did use more wide nine, which was a staple of mentor Jim Johnson’s defenses with Trent Cole etc. More McDermott defense could mean more wide 9. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlbills13 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 I think Floyd is really going to be a factor for us even if he only racks up 6 or 7 sacks. He'll draw more attention and at least pressure the QB. I also expect him and Von to peak in January/February and that's most important. I also love the depth on both the offensive and defensive line (except maybe the OT's). If you aren't producing (especially on the DL), there is someone nipping at your heals ready to take your spot on the field. That is as big of a motivator as anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when I see his picture it reminds of how young all these ‘kids’ really are. Welcome to Buffalo Leonard! Go Bills! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poona Ford got 2.25 himself. And you have to keep in mind, even 6m looks low for a high end FA pass rusher. So the agent may not be rushing to leak numbers even at that amount. Jeremy Fowler reported that Floyd was the most sought after Pass Rusher and many teams were involved with one team beside us "heavily involved". So he had a market. I think in compared to most high end FA Pass Rushers, it will be a bargain. But barely above league minimum would be shocking to me. EDIT: It just came out that it's a 7m dollar deal worth up to 9. That's about what I expected. And probably uses up anything we saved on an Oliver extension. Couldn't we have added 3 void years to spread the cap hit much lower?

It's not even close. My complaining about the poor seasons ahead means nothing. Of course we will complain and that includes you. This franchise has never won a SB. The fan base has been salivating for that Lombardi. People have waited a lifetime and decades to experience it. That includes me. Don't sell short what a SB win would do for Buffalo and it's fans. It would do a lot but that feeling wouldn't last for long if we just disappoint for the next near decade. Disappoint doesn't mean just losing in the playoffs...it means losing to teams constantly that you shouldn't lose to. It sucks when teams like the Bengals and Chiefs beat us but they're very good too...you can swallow that. But what if the Bills lose to a team today like the Titans or Pats in the 1st round of the playoffs? Like Sean Payton did when he lost to Case Keenum, a 7-9 Seahawks Matt Hasselback team, Nick Foles, Kirk Cousins etc.... You're one of the most vocal negative people on here...your posting would be on steroids of anger. When you have a QB at the level Allen can be at, you don't want to look at almost 20 years of his play to only get 1....only make it to one Super Bowl as well. When you have a QB at the level of Allen and you miss the playoffs 35% of his career, that's extremely disappointing. I wouldn't trade a short term joy for many years of disappointment. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnBonhamRocks Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Any chance once Miller is back in the lineup that Floyd becomes essentially our other starting LB? I love the potential versatility he and Rapp bring to the defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 OK, so i think we can say that our defensive roster is officially better than last season. minus edmunds, but plus floyd, LB out of Tulane, rapp, more seasoning for our two rook CBs, healthy poy hyde and white (not to mention von). On O, it's not a huge diff, but i think improvement at two OG positions and hopefully brown having a functioning back turns our late year OL from cheeks to mid pack. RB and TE, as well as WR depth have improved as well. as much as i feel that our last two seasons were our shot, and felt deflated after we stunk out the stadium from the jump vs cinci, based on the cap to come due in the future and the moves made all offseason, this is like an extra chance at the chip, let's hope we make it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
