With Troy Franklin still on the board it seems like a no brainer. Use 2 of those 5th rounders climb back up and 4th and go get Franklin. He and Coleman together with what we have would be game changing. It would also follow the Packers model and Beane admits admiration of their approach.

It’s actually similar to the 90’s Bills teams with Bruce and Biscuit. Great Offense, bend but don’t break opportunistic defense.

I thought Settle and Jones were under contract for one more year… I was mistaken. So the DL revamp is bigger than I thought. I figured they would re-up one good DL that being Floyd. so I guess the D line starts here: Johnathan Anjou Oliver Rousseau (Draft FA) (Draft FA) (Draft FA) (Miller) rough indeed….

I think the Ravens are a stark contrast to this thought process. You are correct about 95% of the NFL but the Ravens and Niners definitely still place high emphasis on stifling defense.

It’s an unfortunate reality that Poyer and Hyde are done. They empty their tanks in Bills Red, White and Blue. I think Hyde will retire. Poyer I’m not sure yet. That said I think the plan for next year may already be laid out with some personnel we have and a free agent acquisition. I think Rapp with be resigned and I think the improvements in Cam Lewis and a fully recovered Damar Hamlin can provide the necessary depth. I think Lewis although listed as a corner could move into Poyer role. It will be a downgrade from 2 years ago but a sideways move from last year. There are not many good free agents I think we could target but I do think Alohi Gilman from the Chargers could be there for the taking. He is a very good cover Saftey who is used to running the back end. He fits McDermott’s scheme and could replace Hyde and maybe provide the back end speed we lacked last year. I also think a healthy Benford, Douglas, Johnson, White, Jackson, Elam and Neal mean maybe shifting Elam to Saftey or one of the others could work. Neal has played Saftey but him seeing the field on D has been a scary proposition. I also think a couple mid round picks that will hopefully contribute are necessary at both Corner, Saftey, LB and 1 Tech DT. The gloom and doom over the defense though I think is overblown. If it looked like this to start it would be solid, if not still top 10: (27 players 2 or 3 on PS) Floyd Jones Oliver Rousseau (Lawson) (Settle) (Anjou) (Miller) (Johnathan)(Draft-1 tech) Milano Bernard (Williams) (Spector) (Draft) Benford Johnson Douglas (White) (Neal) (Jackson) (Draft) FA- Gilman Rapp (Hamlin) (Lewis) (Draft)

I just watched his highlight reel again. It looks like Roman Wilson will be an NFL stud. I think he could be this draft classes Puka Nukua. He has 4.27 40 time and the dude just always has separation. I think he would immediately make an impact on this team. He has played against the top D-1 talent and will be ahead of most in other rookies. I think he fits this offense better than anyone on ther than Harrison who will be long gone before we are on the board. He is only 6’ 0” but he plays bigger than that. He is always in the right place on the field too. I think Diggs will be back but he and Shakir may have an entirely new room otherwise. Justin Shorter will make the squad and I think Wilson would be a great addition. Those 4 would be really strong and save a lot of cap room.

Running game, with PA from under center would work. More 12 personnel and perhaps putting Shakir in the one and Diggs in the slot. Remember Diggs got to where he is by being an incredible slot receiver.

I would suggest perhaps we choose the Fish in flight along with 2 cups of coffee… Now we have interminable Jag Lag😜Oh and our pilot may be leaking air…

I guess at least it’s spicy now😬

I don’t smell much of anything right now… I unfortunately have COVID… I hope Sauce smells like burnt toast on Sunday😂

You really have to dig for snippets when it is going back a ways but I’ve had time…Here is one such snippet from the 2020 Rams game… https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2020/9/30/21494615/all-22-analysis-buffalo-bills-defensive-woes-vs-los-angeles-rams There are others in small clips here and there if you are specific. To be clear I’m not pouring over game film… I watch the YouTube footage and then find any all 22 analysis and clips of the same game afterwards. I wish there was Huddle footage of NFL games!

Pam oh Pam where art thou?

I’m not dissatisfied. I maybe frustrated in the underachieving but I still get my moneys worth when watching. It would be nice to see generational talent achieve at the apex though.

I can see that for sure.
