Success Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 We get tagged as being "old" a lot, but it's mainly Hyde, Poyer & Miller who are getting into their '30s. Cook, Kincaid, Groot, Davis, Knox, most of the O-line, Oliver, Benford, and of course, Allen. A lot of great young players just getting into their prime on this team. Gotta love it. 16 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Quint Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 The safetys are suspect. They know where to be, but show up late. Hopefully they are saving the best for the 2nd half of the season (along with Tre White). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 There's not much difference between the youngest teams and the oldest teams. The youngest team is the packers with an average age of 25.0. The Bills are at 26.3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 It looks like we finally hit on some offensive draft picks in Cook, Kincaid and Torrence. If all 3 of those can build on their starts to the season in the next few games it is going to make such a difference to this football team. 7 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 O’Cyrus Torrence played another solid game. This guy is on the path to becoming our best O-Lineman and it will happen very soon. He is impressive. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Bills suddenly look like they have a strong foundation of young players to build around Josh Allen with as we look forward and envision the next window without guys like Poyer, Hyde, White (potentially), Morse etc... Of course, the hope is we win it all with them and then move into the next window. Key players 26 & under with multiple years on their current deal.. Defense will likely need some retooling in coming years, but if Oliver has turned the corner... they will have a strong core for the next few years in Oliver, Rousseau, Von and Milano to build around. Offense is really looking solid with Davis and Morse being the question marks after this season. RB: James Cook 23 OL: Connor McGovern 25 Ryan Bates 26 O'Cyrus Torrence 23 Alec Anderson 23 Spencer Brown 25 Ryan VanDemark 25 WR: Khalil Shakir 23 TE: Dawson Knox 26 Dalton Kincaid 23 Quinton Morris 24 DL: Greg Rousseau 23 Ed Oliver 25 LB: Terrel Bernard 24 Dorian Williams 22 CB: Christian Benford 22 Kaiir Elam 22 Edited September 19, 2023 by SCBills 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I was actually pretty shocked when I read on here this Summer that we had the oldest roster by average of age in the NFL...also hard to believe guys like Dawkins and Milano have been in the league as long as they have already.

jwhit34 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 If Cook continues to do well and Bernard holds his own, the opinion on the 2022 draft class will change. Add a real find in Benford and that's pretty good. Elam is the question mark but maybe it's more they struck gold with Benford vs. Elam is a bust, it could be they have 2 good CBs. Shakir is a contributor from the 5th, Spector made the team 2 years. The Araiza thing was unfortunate. So far the '23 draft is looking good. Very valid point made by many about oldest vs. youngest team not being a big difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could easily become much younger next year if we are replacing Hyde, Poyer and spending draft picks on the DL again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Wonder if we pay Davis if he has a great year. I was in the super minority that we re sign him this past off season and draft a Diggs replacement in a year or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in the super minority that we re sign him this past off season and draft a Diggs replacement in a year or 2 I've wondered this as well. Especially if we're looking at wholesale changes on the Defense. Can probably move off Morse if we want and have Bates move into the Center role. If we extend Davis, all we're really looking to fill on Offense (fingers crossed on Brown at RT) are some depth roles. Would allow the team to focus on DL and S in the draft to restock DT, EDGE and Safety with some young talent. That being said.. I could go either way on Davis, because 15M or so on Davis (if that's feasible) might be better spent on extending Jones and Floyd, while using an early pick at WR. And even then, to get under the cap with spending like that could require a surprise cut to Tre White if he doesn't bounce back to reliable high end CB1.

We could also move McGovern to Center and start Edwards at LG granted we'd have to sign Edwards long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like he's fully back and a legit CB1 but I haven't seen all 22 breakdowns. That 1 on 1 vs Wilson was damn near perfectly played, the ball just took a fluke bounce into Wilsons body 3 hours ago, Charles Romes said: Move benford to safety and our entire secondary starts to look young.

GoBills! Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Elam being a bust and Benford being. a starter is fine. 49ers took Trey lance (lost a ton of draft capital) then Brock Purdy later one. Well they only hit on the second one. They are still employed so I'm not angry at Elam yet. Maybe try him as SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 You don’t want to be too old and you don’t want to be too young on a team. Veteran experience is important and being able to stay healthy is also important. Younger people tend to heal faster I know, because I am not young, and it takes me forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
