BuffaloBillyG Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) For those that missed if with a few key comments added. Good watch. Some other key points- - Worked through many possibilities at CB before dealing for Rasul. Seemed like the asking prices were too high for others. - Had been calling about DTs. Still looking to add. I read that as "We have several vets we are talking to. First one to accept our offer at a lower salary is a Buffalo Bill". But help is likely on the way. - Rasul not expected to practice today. Not likely to be active this week IMO. - Mentioned Fournette isn't familiar with the playbook. May take him a bit to see action is the way I took it. Also said regarding Fournette that nothing's been promised. - As usual, Beane was pretty straight forward as far as NFL GMs go.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: He has Ed Oliver and then three vet defensive tackles he gave FA deals to on the roster. If he needs more there that is his own fault. You're not wrong. However, It's nice that he's willing to admit that what he's put together isn't working and trying to make a move. Nothing is more frustrating than a GM that makes mistakes then refuses to fix them. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is always going to make excuses for his players because good regimes don’t throw players under the bus. He and McD constantly backed up Kelvin Benjamin too. Elam has only been on the injury report with an ankle for 2 of the 8 games we have played. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

balln Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) Look I love BB. He’s the best we’ve had in a long time. douglas trade was fantastic but elam was a whiff / or he picked the wrong player for the coach system and the overall talent acquisition philosophy has been defense and special teams heavy.

If he needs more there that is his own fault. Tim Settle was a miss. We banked on him breaking out once he's not buried on a roster behind two elite DT's and he has not... at all. Beane can't predict Jones does down to injury. That contract, along with Oliver's contract... if Daquan stayed healthy were very much worthy of praise. Phillips and Ford are on cheap deals as vets because we are cap strapped. I don't know that I can fault Beane a ton for the DT situation. 5 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBill Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 22 minutes ago, Process said: See hole run through hole. Hopefully it doesn't take them forever to get Fournette involved. He's probably washed but should still be an upgrade over Murray. Fournette is likely more of a piece in the pass and protection game. Cook has not looked good in protection. He has ball skills and open field ability. Fournette may be a good chess piece for the Bills. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Douglas needs to play. Every single one of these other deadline acquisitions will get right in there.
