It’s become impossible to grow offensive linemen, especially tackles, maybe due to better PED testing or kids moving to soccer instead. You really need an incubator program. I knew pass rushers were in for a big year when traffic cone quessenberry was signed to an active roster within hours of getting cut.

Thought he was quicker this week, but is afraid (perhaps correctly) that his knee will explode if he turns the corner after getting past the tackle.
-
Maybe they want to keep his sack numbers as low as possible so he’s more affordable. Belichick wrote the book on keeping running backs cheap by crowdsourcing so no one could put up numbers.

In the first two series we had two receivers trip over themselves and another fumble. Three drive killing drops last week. What is he supposed to do.

In real time it looked like high quality sticky coverage. You never get the flag in that situation. Nor should you.

All their key players have an injury history. Doubt they will be near full strength in the stretch run. It’s actually a negative that they all healthy now in the early season.
-
The book on him is to just bang him around a lot and he’ll be a non-factor. The staff will add 25 pounds to his frame over the next 3 years. Unfortunately, there will be no way he can emerge as a top 2 receiving option until that time, at the earliest.

The Carolina Panthers are absolutely trailer trash I would definitely talk them about guys like Brian Burns and Jace Horn.
They don’t have a first round pick so I’m sure they are looking to aquite as many assets as possible.
31 teams inquired about Burns last year before the deadline.

McD sees defensive prospects like few others. Milano might have been out of the league with his measurable rather than an all-pro if he did not wind up with McD. Also, Poyer, Hyde, Benford, Bernard, Johnson, Jackson, etc. The team needed to get younger, cheaper, and less injury-prone. I would like to see McD use this as an opportunity to develop as many young prospects as possible, raiding other practice squads for players he has been tracking.

AJE may already be a top 15 pass rusher entitled to the market value that brings. If I’m AJE, my negotiating stance is that I was already a break-through 10 sack player in 2022 but that was disguised by the fact that I was limited to 30 PERCENT (!!!) of the snaps due to McDs rotation (he had 6.5 sacks playing 30 percent of the snaps). This may be our first loss of a disruptive player whose stats were artificially diminished due to McDs DL rotation system.
-
I think it was clear that carting off two great players in the first 5 minutes deflated the offense. Can’t write off the whole season, with 20 games every good team is bound to lose 1-4 key players.

Guess Elam was actually worse than he looked, if that’s possible

- 1) Dodson played 62% of the snaps. Dorian played 36%. Dodson was by far the higher graded of the two, with an 85.5 grade compared to a 32.7 for Dorian. PFF has Dorian missing 40% of his attempted tackles. They are essentially saying that he was flying to the ball, but not finishing.
- 2) Allen had the highest CPAE (Completion Percentage Above Expectation) in the NFL this week at 8%. This means Allen completed 8% more of his passes than he should have. Allen’s adjusted completion % (completions + drops / aimed) was 86%.
- 3) I don’t know what we are going to do about Spencer Brown. The Bills are giving him help on more than 50% of his snaps and he is still well below the mean. This chart shows how often NFL tackles are left on an island (no help). Brown is 2nd to last in the entire NFL. The only player needing more help is Jermaine Eluemunor, who Raiders fans universally want released.
- 4) With play-action, Allen completed 87.5% of his passes with a 14.9 YPA yesterday. He completed 62.5% of his passes with a 7.5 YPA without play action. To really drive this point home, look at his EPA per play both with play-action and without. He has a 3x larger EPA per play with play-action than without.
- 5) Kingsley Jonathan was the highest rated Bills defensive player yesterday at a 92.1. He had 2 hurries, 1 sack, 2 stops and 1 forced fumble. Epenesa was right behind him at 85.7.
- 6) James Cook had an 11.3 pass block grade, which is the lowest I can personally recall ever seeing. Damien Harris had an 82.3 pass block grade.
- 7) DaQuan left the game after the 4th play. Milano left the game after the 11th play. Rousseau never played. Tre White never played. Benford never played. That’s FIVE starters out. Yet the defense still forced 2 turnovers and 5 punts.
- 8- Dawkins really struggled yesterday, especially with the other Josh Allen. It was clear from watching the game and PFF saw it too. He had the lowest pass blocking grade of all the linemen.
- 9) McDermott mentioned after the game that it’s hard to win when you can’t run. EPA shows that he is correct. Our EPA per dropback was top 10 in the NFL this week. Our running EPA was towards the bottom in the NFL.
- 10) Elam gave up 6 receptions for 93 yards and was eventually benched. No other Bills player gave up more than 3 receptions. Dane gave up 3 receptions for 30 yards.
- 11) Taron Johnson was very vocal after the game about how poor the turf was. Mentioned his feet would get stuck. For those interested you can see his comments here.
- 12) Spacing has felt off all season long. There are 4 Bills receiving options, all within 10 yards of each other. We are not making them defend every blade of grass. We are making them defend a very small piece of grass. This was a big 3rd down that we didn't convert.
- 13) I have absolutely no idea what we gave Harty a $10M contract for. He played roughly 25% of the snaps this week and is averaging 2.2 receptions per game. His special teams contribution has been 5 returns for 40 yards. I just genuinely don’t understand what the plan is for him.
- 14) Last note on Allen. HIs passing chart shows solid numbers to all areas and depths of the field.
- 15) Lastly, Ben Johnson is the most innovative, fun, creative play caller I have ever seen. I hope he is hired by an NFC team. This is one of the many plays he calls. It constantly keeps defenses guessing.
5) Kingsley Jonathan was the highest rated Bills defensive player yesterday at a 92.1. He had 2 hurries, 1 sack, 2 stops and 1 forced fumble. Epenesa was right behind him at 85.7.
I thought Jonathan had a chance to break through. This is great news. How hard is it to grow a legitimate young pass rusher literally out of nowhere, not even spending a 7th rounder.

I’d be willing to give McDermott a whole extra year just based on the evidence that Bernard can really play.

I can’t believe how easily the Bills O fell for the “let them catch it short and converge” D. Looks like a blueprint. They were baiting Allen with a wide open pass catcher short every play and he took the bait time after time.
-
He couldn’t put any weight on it in camp. Might not be able to until 2024, when he’s 35
-
Bernard was running around like a chicken with his head cut off most of last year. That’s my primary source of hope for Elam.

3 drops 3 drive stops = no different than a turnover. So disgusting.

I’m not sure a week 8-10 activation would have been better.

This is why I would not rule out the possibility of Hackett making Zach serviceable-plus down the stretch.

That sounds like the number for second half of 2022 after Von went down

Fallon worked hard to get great reviews his first six months on the job when everyone was watching closely, then has been mailing it in ever since.

Yesterday he played well. It reminded me of that big prime time game he had with the Bills against the Seahawks. Just like yesterday he came very close to winning.
