Death, Taxes and Peterman lighting it up....
atlbillsfan1975 replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He has talent he just doesn’t have the ability on game day to move past mistakes. He allows his mistakes to compound and become worse. -
That stinks. Sounds like a chronic issue now. Hopefully just a case of bad luck.

DE Jerry Hughes: Signs two-year extension
atlbillsfan1975 replied to CaptnCoke11's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agree with everything you said here. Hughes is a leader. He showed he wants to be here and took to helping mentor younger players. Hughes plays with passion and has learned how to focus it better. I hope Lawson can build on what he showed signs of last year. Love to see a similar deal next offseason if Lawson does. As for Beasley, this is the put up or shut up Year. Quinn is now the DC and believes he can turn Beasley into the player he was drafted to be. Personally I think the Falcons will be looking for a new DC and HC as well as a DE. -
100% accurate. I only played into college division 2 and I will tell you oline can take the longest to play together as a unit. Five different people all have to do their job or it can impact every other persons performance. QB is the most singular important position in football but oline is the most important position group.

Bills projected to pick 4th in 2020
atlbillsfan1975 replied to Happy Days Lois & Clark's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I am a UGA fan and watch every game. Fromm had a great SEC championship. Other than that I can’t think of too many games where he impressed. I think we will see a more balanced even passing game from UGA this year with the OC change. Right now I am 50/50 on Fromm. I think Fromm could be seen as another Aaron Murray. He needs to put a lot more on film to move up to top 15 for me. As for Tua, I understand the hesitation and questions. Tua’s last couple of games were not very good. I still think he has all the talent. -
People know the end is coming for NE. Prisco is searching for the next teams bandwagon to jump on. NE fans and Boston fans have always been ‘look at us’ fans. When their teams don’t win they grab attention for jinxed and cursed when their teams do win they rub it in. When Boston and NE goes back to having not winning we will hear about it. Fact is they just aren’t content.

Bills Drafted Starter Outlook
atlbillsfan1975 replied to corta765's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is a great topic. I feel like finding 4 eventual starters out of each draft is a goal. Strive for 16 starters homegrown each season. -
This time last year
atlbillsfan1975 replied to MakeBuffaloGreatAgain's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They will design some draws for him. I also see him still learning and holding on to the ball at times and then needing to scramble. The line has been flipped which should lead to different outcome. I also like having Daboll back for a second year. Hopefully this will lead to some good production. -
I believe it was Bosa. If so, good riddance. I can see the staff wanting to keep it quiet. I guess it says more about his level of player that you can’t tell if he was playing poorly on purpose or not.

Wasn’t there a rumor that Mills intentionally missed blocks in the Chargers game two years ago because he wanted Taylor starting at QB?
-
Oh well. Would of been a nice pick up. Let’s see how much and how long.

Buffalo Bills TE Tommy Sweeney is a 70's throwback
atlbillsfan1975 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sounds like Fisher and Sweeney are similar in size and skill set. There is going to be good competition at TE. -
That is a good read. In regards to the handwork, that’s going to be a big transition. His coach is saying Oliver was able to use his speed in college to his advantage over o linemen. In the pro’s Oliver will need to develop his hand technique to become a dominant player. I believe Oliver did 225 pounds 32 times at vs Danold’s 35 times. Oliver sounds plenty strong enough.

I’m not going to fire away. You are welcome to your opinion. I am glad Beane saw it the way I did. I also enjoyed watching the draft piece that showed how happy Beane was that Detroit didn’t take Oliver. Unless you have Tom Brady you win with good line play on both sides of the ball. Oliver was the right pick and is an instant plug and play guy. Let’s see how different Hockensons and Knox’s numbers are in two years from now.

Bills sign TE Jake Fisher to 1-year deal
atlbillsfan1975 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good article. 6’6 and 268 is pretty lean. I am interested to see how fluid he is now. How well can he block 45-50 pounds lighter. If his strength is there and he can use his leverage and quickness he could stick around for awhile. I admire Fisher for giving it a shot at what he loves. We got Kroft, Knox, and one more guy fighting it out for the third TE...Or could 4 make the team with ST coming into play? Could Fisher be the emergency Tackle? -
Dion says all the right things and I feel he is genuine. To be the leader he wants to be and the team needs him to be he has to show progression from his rookie production. Last year wasn’t good for anyone on the oline. Speaking as an old olineman it really is a group effort. He doesn’t deserve a pass. Dion can go out this year and prove he is the guy we thought after 2017 could be LT for the foreseeable future.
