MrEpsYtown Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 It should be Jacksonville. They want a running mate to take some usage off of Ettienne. Good OL, really good defense, an emerging QB, and a really good offensive coach...a return to Florida (even though its Jacksonville). That's what I would do. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBF81 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 30 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: ON Williams being more an NFL safety than MLB, after that never ending thread about drafting Dorian Williams , it finally convinced me he is not too small, especially with the trend in the NFL for more passing and lighter LBers. Williams is smart and a hard worker, I think he will bust his ass off and also get bigger. Maybe not this year but I expect him to be the future at MLB. Well, that is the debate re: him. I will provide what both PFF and NFL said in their draft profiles about him tho. I've not seen any other site disagree. PFF: What’s his role: WLB Williams isn’t the guy you want taking on fullbacks in the hole anytime soon. He’s the one you want cleaning up for that guy. NFL: Williams looks and moves more like a big box safety with his bursts to the football and open-field fluidity. Lacking the size and strength to match up with NFL take-on duties near the line, Williams needs to become more adept at slipping blocks and staying a step ahead of the blocking scheme. 30 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: Having said that, the way the NFL evolves at some point the NFL is going to pivot back to more running. Look at the Bills finally may have addressed their interior O Line and have a legit power back in Harris and hope to utilize Cook's speed (FINALLY) this year. If I were in the AFC East I would stress running and I would run often v the Bills. We're in agreement there. In fact, two of our three losses last season were in games where we allowed an average of 160 rushing yards. One of those was against the Jets and their two sub-average RBs. Throw in Rodgers now instead of White/Wilson. IMO more teams run well against us this season since their passing games are going to open up against us. 35 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Jets have done a good job against our offense the last three outings… hopefully the additions offensively show out and we figure it out. And you assumptions are based on the Jets performing at that same high level defensively again next season. True, but we are also division opponents, which adds to their fire. Offensively, IMO it all, or 90% of it, comes down to Dorsey/Allen. If Dorsey figures things out this season, as he should if he's any good at all, then as I've previously said, IMO we have the ability to be the best offense in Bills' history. At the same time I can also see us finishing 5th offensively. 33 minutes ago, mrags said: Here I thought we were arguing. Did we just become best friends? I would have posted the gif of Step Brothers but it appears the gif issue is not cleared up yet. I believe the word is Besties. I'm not sure about that however, it may be too soon.

CincyBillsFan Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 38 minutes ago, RoyBatty is alive said: I had forgotten (REPRESSED) that nightmarish play, ironic it mention in the Dalvin Cook thread. We were in total control of that game till that play and he was barely touched, I think the last 65 yards he ran free. Tre White whiffed on the tackle, Damar Hamlin was pancaked blocked. IMO that was the biggest reason we lost that game and not Allen's fumble & INT late in the game. We had a 27 - 10 lead late int he 3rd quarter AT HOME and our all world defense allows a RB to run off tackle for an 82 yard TD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 1 hour ago, Bleeding Bills Blue said: Mostert and Wilson: 1579 yards from scrimmage and 9 TDs, Wilson was only there for 8 games too. Wilson had 1045 scrimmage yards last year across SF and Miami. Does adding Cook get them more yards? what about more wins? What is the cost to adding him? I think that pointing out that it took their current two guys COMBINED to match Dalvin's production sort of proves that he's a superior player. As for the question of "Does he get them more wins?", well...yeah, maybe. It's inherently difficult to meaningfully tie a concept like "more wins" to the signing of a player. Like...does Leonard Floyd get the Bills more wins? Well...yeah, maybe. If opposing teams bring an extra defender into the box more often (because they fear Cook more than Mostert or Wilson) and it allows Waddle or Hill to go against just one deep safety...yes, that could absolutely result in more wins. As for cost, the Dolphins are middle of the pack in cap space. 16th. They can afford him, and they believe they're in a "win now" window. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Just now, Airseven said: I prefer to be the team cutting players past the summit as opposed to signing them. I generally agree with the sentiment, but I don't think it applies to Dalvin Cook. He's 27 years old. Coming off four straight Pro Bowls, four straight 1100+ yard seasons, and has 43 TDs the past four seasons. He's also always been very elusive and not typically the type to take a lot of punishing hits, at least compared to other backs. I'd wager that he has 3-4 good seasons left in him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
