transient Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Also, hopefully Dorian Williams learns the position, because he also looks like a promising ball of intangibles when he’s actually in the right place. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I remember how last season many fans thought Bernard was a wasted pick because all he did was play special teams. I do think it took him a while to adjust to the pro game, but I think now he's a pleasant surprise to all of us and maybe to the coaches as well. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 More than happy to admit I was completely wrong on this one! We could use about 5-6 more of him on rookie contracts in the form of WR, Tackle, DE, DT, CB, and Safety. 1 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 So….must be Baylon Spector will be an All Pro next year? 🤣🤣 The Bills have done a great job drafting defensive players in 3rd and lower rounds - Milano, Bernard, Benford and Jackson have had huge value and it’s needed to maintain a top team when the cap has the weight of a QB contract on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine-iac Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Joyner had Reggie White, Clyde Simmons, Jerome Brown, and Mike Pitts in front of him. Our line is pretty good but the Eagles were on another level. Back then the Eagles line and the Saints LB's were the two groups you didn't want to see on the schedule. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 So many people saw his size and assumed it was a bad pick.

T master Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 20 hours ago, Roundybout said: Remember how this place acted when we drafted him? I ‘member. This makes the Bills letting Edmunds walk for more money GENIUS !! If Edmunds got the money he got then Bernard will be worth a lot more money than Edmunds when it's all said and done . I was really leery at the beginning of the year when they decided to let Edmunds walk & gave Ed the big contract but once again Beane & McD know much better than i as the fan that i am . He's playing great I would really like to see this D with him & Millano on the field !!!! OMG . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finn Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 21 hours ago, MJS said: He is turning into one of my favorite players. And Douglas has to be one of the better mid-season trades in franchise history. Great job by Beane. One of the best mid-season trades league-wide, I'd say. Six turnovers forced since he arrived. We needed a big-play player with Milano gone, and he's stepped up. Bernard, Douglas, Oliver, Jones, Rousseau, Floyd... along with a lineup of good to very good complementary players. A very nice recovery after all the injuries. Only Miller and (so far) Elam have been disappointments. Even Poona has come on. Meanwhile, the offensive line is much better this year, Cook and Shakir have been much more productive, and Kincaid has been terrific. Only Harty and Sherfield have been disappointing, along with maybe Diggs recently. The defense is surging. Now we need the offense to click on all cylinders. A blowout would be ideal. No more close games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the nice thing about having a program in place for so long. We can draft and develop certain types that fit our schemes. And this is one of the reasons I am against moving on from McD and blowing this all up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we play the Dolphins twice a year we cant have slow guys in coverage This is still a big concern of mine. I think this happens to Milano. I would be lying to say I won’t be concerned about this every year and I think big physical running team can be a problem for us (think of if the Browns had Chubb). But he has held up amazingly.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I was honestly worried at the start of the year. I thought that he might be the weakest link in the defense, and I am happily surprised and relieved to see him play at such a high level. Now I'm thinking about what it would look like to go back to a 4-3 base when you have a Dodson-Bernard-Milano group I am not an Edmunds hater (I was hoping to sign him back at the time), but it's hard NOT to compare a new starter to the person he is taking over. 13 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: In what should be a positive thread about Bernard (who has been Amazing), still has people who somehow find a way to bash an ex Bill, who’s only sin was getting more money. So petty. Not here to drag Edmunds, but Bernard has been playing at easily Pro Bowl level, arguably All Pro and is doing so on a draft contract as a 3rd round pick.
