McDermott in animated discussion with Roseman?
Alphadawg7 replied to Einstein's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think its absurd to remove the play personally...however, I would say I do think proponents of the play have a case that on FG/XP kicks, there are way more rules and such on what DL can do to gain leverage. Feels unbalanced or hypocritical to let the offense find ways to use leverage from no carrying players when on defense they cannot use similar techniques to disrupt plays they already have a low chance to disrupt. Here is the complication I think many are missing...players pushing the pile forward happens all over the field. If they want to make it illegal for a player to help push a fellow player who has the ball forward, then that would or should make it illegal anywhere on the field because how is a RB 8 yards up the field getting TE's, WR's, OL etc pushing him and defenders forward towards a first, TD, more yards, etc any different really? So I say let the play stand...if there ends up being a spike in injuries directly related to the play, they can revisit it. But I don't believe that has been the case thus far to where injuries are happing at a higher rate on this play than in general. -
Wide Receiver Train Full Speed Ahead- CHOO CHOO!

This narrative that keeps getting thrown around here is factually not true: Highest scoring AFC team Regular Season: Buffalo Bills (16th greatest offense in NFL history) Highest scoring AFC team during the post season: Buffalo Bills (29 points per game, only 2 less than regular season and against 3 playoff teams) And this was despite having to play 3 games and against 3 tough defenses...which included the Ravens who had the #1 defense the final 2/3rds of the season after they shifted Hamilton in their defense. And not only that, we scored 29 against a KC team that had not offensively scored 30 the whole season...it would be enough to beat them on any other week the entire season and postseason. Same team that was down 34-0 a week later. Speaking of KC "a week later"...in 3 of the games KC eliminated us in the playoffs...they averaged 35 PPG just to lose one week later all 3 times averaging a pathetic 17 PPG...literally less than half of what they avg against us. No disrespect - But to attribute our failure to get over the hump and past KC more to the offense than the defense is to propose a narrative that is not supported by facts and rooted in beliefs and assumptions that are just not accurate, especially this season. -

Haha awesome switch up I can see him here...for a while he was slated to be the first WR off the board, but I think he slides in the late teens early 20's personally, and Seattle is a where I think he has a strong chance to go. -

I get that, and nothing you said is really wrong…but I think it would be a pretty big surprise for him to be the first WR off the board inside the top 10 personally. He might be there when we pick I guess that’s fair, but I still would be surprised if he goes top 10 and is first one off the board personally. Don’t get me wrong, I like him, just highly doubt he’s a top 6 drafted player -

Emeka isn't very likely to go top 10, this would be like when they took Clelin Ferrel 4th overall...and they don't have those kinds of people in their war room now. I do very much think Jeanty is in play or someone in the trenches. But I would be stunned if it was Emeka. And I know its the "Raiders", but they got real people in charge now not Gruden and a mock drafter at GM like they did when they took Ferrel, who was such a reach Gruden said pre draft they were going to surprise some people at #4. -
I would prefer to keep Cook...but Cook and his agent are way overvaluing him. He wants to be paid $15M a year, behind only Saquan and EMC, 2 guys whose league he is not in. But more importantly, Cook is a 2 down RB who becomes a liability on 3rd down because he isn't great at pass pro, which is why a journeyman RB in Ty Johnson has taken over as our 3rd down back. Not to mention, Cook is an unreliable pass catcher, another thing Ty does better than him. And being quite blunt...put Cook on another team where he doesn't have Josh Allen and an elite OL blocking from him, and I don't think he has nearly the same kind of success he has had here. Again...I do like Cook, but IMHO he isn't in the same league as the guys he wants to be paid like, so I don't think we should over pay him to keep him. And with his OL and Josh Allen, we don't need to a high priced RB for this offense to be elite.

Yeah Beane is definitely not done at the position. But, what I think it more likely means is that Beane isn't entering the draft feeling like he has to go WR early. Doesn't mean they wouldn't, which is why they are still meeting with guys expected to go in rounds 1 and 2. If the right guy is there as his BPA when we are on the clock, I have no doubt Beane isn't afraid to pull the trigger. I will say this though...Beane every draft season is pretty spot on in what he says coming into a draft, he does very little misdirection. The fact he said bringing in competition is meaningful, so I think it's probably more likely not until day 3 we will see the Bills make a move at WR. I could easily see us take one in the 4th, or maybe if they haven't already traded up with any of their first 3 picks, they could use some of that extra ammo in rounds 4, 5, and 6 to go get a guy in the 3rd. And this fits Beane's history too where he has guys slated to start and then brings in a mid round guy to develop and for competition (Davis in 4th when we had Diggs and Brown...Shakir in 5th when we signed Crowder for the slot and resigned McKenzie too). Davis and Shakir were drafted as guys to compete and hopefully develop into future starters, which they both did. And a guy I like for us a lot is the one we previously discussed, and that is Thornton maybe as early as the 4th...a guy who brings potential and competition, but more importantly, brings a skill set we lack which is a big vertical threat. Dont get me wrong, I am not against a WR in our first 3 picks in rounds 1 and 2...I am only talking to what I more expect to happen.
