ngbills Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 It’s hard to understand the lack of action bringing in an MLB. We have brought in random RB and OL just to make a few. We clearly have lack of talent and depth at MLB but what has this team done? Are we waiting for cuts? Some believe the starting MLB is not even on this roster right now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonerBillsFan Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 McBeane feel their evaluation of current LB's has been great and they csn go with what they have. Unfortunately it is what it is this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I keep saying Ivthink we’ll see a lot of 1LB/6 DB looks with Milano and Rapp on the field. 4 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying I expect a starter to be picked up but they are not even taking a look. We have seen this before. I think on D McD thinks he can make anything work. Until it doesn’t. Last year we saw Klein picked up and starting days later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSE Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) I will never understand how you can lose a MLB to free agency that was completely expected then have no clear replacement entering training camp. This would be ok on a rebuilding team but not on SB contender Brandon Beane knew before last season Edmunds was gone.. It appears Matt Milano is moving to MLB Edited August 21, 2023 by HOUSE 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you have no idea what they are or are not looking at. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it is what it is this year. Or perhaps he has a scheme that he feels will work but he doesn't want to show it in preseason so the Jets can gameplan around it. I'm still expecting our offense to keep teams off balance and playing catchup. Leaving the defense to not have as much worry on a run game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what other things take place at One Bills Drive that we don't know about? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you can't put a lot of stock into all the players we get linked to, most are BS, but just saying that we don't actually know if Beane tried to sign someone or not. It is possible he looked to bring someone in during FA and it just didn't work out. Either way, I expect a MLB and RT to be high on our offseason priorities next season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They sure love their LBers on the smaller size. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is still time but Brandon Beane will need to trade away a few picks and we all know he hates that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many first rounders are on the defense as opposed to the offense? I’ll wait… Tell me about the offense last year. Tell me about how we called brown and Beasley off their couches because we completely messed up WR. Tell me about our lack of oline that nearly got Allen killed. Don’t give me that sob story about the d. Edited August 22, 2023 by whorlnut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you can say that. How many first rounders are on the defense as opposed to the offense? I’ll wait… I get what your saying, the d premium picks have been more frequent, but they threw the Vikings a 1st for Diggs, if 2nd rounders count then they spent several for Allen(Still a steal for the player he's become), Kincaid in the first this year, along with Torrence in the 2nd. Also spent a 2nd on Ford, even though most of us wished they hadn't.😂 Beane has only been here for 6 drafts, so it's closer than it appears. As far as money, Diggs, Dawkins, Allen and soon Knox take up a good chunk of the salary cap by themselves. Again closer than it may appear.

Fair…but I was responding to the post about how McD thinks he can do more with less. That’s just not true.

I would even say they may invest more than 50% as far as premium picks/money are concerned 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
