Leonard Floyd is what Von Miller was supposed to be

Do you remember when Tre FINALLY came back from his ACL? Being able to step on the field does not mean you will be 100%, or even close. Von had 8.5 sacks before the injury and looked like a great addition, possibly the difference-maker we needed. Then he got hurt. It happens. You can argue it was foreseeable because of his age, but it was just lousy luck. 

 

People wanted a bold move to bring home a trophy. They took a big swing and got burned. Again, it happens. All the people who say “one before I die” have to realize there are consequences when you swing for the fences, for better or for worse.

Heard 2nd hand (fairly trusted friend heard it 1st hand) that one of the docs contracted to evaluate all medical imaging for prospect physicals got drunk and went on and on about how SHOT Vonn's knees were upon signing. Was uncharacteristically noisy about Miller being a walking knee injury waiting to happen (thought it was a failing physical). Pretty sure I've shared this before (not that my sharing carries weight with people who don't know me or my sourcing).

our D has the highest sack percentage (% of defensive snaps where they record a sack) in the NFL!

 

Doubt they get more than a couple on Mahomes tomorrow, but hopefully we at least hurry him into some bad decisions.

They need to keep Miller on the sidelines and give more reps to Epenesa (along with Floyd). Also, Groot has been very quite in the 2nd half of the year.

No he isn't.

 

Miller at least he had a part in close the regular season game against KC last year, until now Floyd hasn't been able to put pressure to close a game. Great games he has had, as Oliver and sometimes Epenesa, but none of them have done it in the final series of any game.

I think AJE is better than Rousseau and would love to see more reps as well. 

Yeah…. No.  Rousseau is the unsung hero of this DL, he’s very good.  His sack numbers may not be great, but he’s outstanding in rush coverage and even dropped in space a bit today and covered a rb

I'd like to give Floyd an extension if there is anyway out of Miller's deal with the arrest 

The Bills are so far past the cap I don't even know who they can cut to actually save money. They're going to have to let a lot of really good players walk and get vet minimum/draft picks in.

he wasn’t completely awful.

 

Progress!!!


Don’t be foolish. He’s a top tier 1st ballot hall of famer. You don’t quit on those guys just because they’re slow coming back from an ACL at 34. 
 

Listen to yourself. Think.

Davis needs to go. I was a supporter, but he is just way too inconsistent even with Diggs getting bracketed all game. I’d rather roll the dice w/ Shakir/rookie and a 2nd year Kincaid. Use that money to resign Floyd who has been wrecking O-lines alongside Oliver.

Davis will be a free agent.  He brings nothing.  We won’t be resigning him. We need two big time new receivers next year.  Diggs looks shot.  But his contract makes it prohibitive to cut or trade him.  The same w Von.  Ugh.
