CBS Lists Top 10 Coaches, include McDermott
purple haze replied to RochesterLifer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just about any coach who would be on a list of "successful" coaches has been blessed the same way. I disagree last year was his doing. One grown man does not control another grown man. And when the GM tells the world the QB is in charge of all the players..? -
Josh Allen reminds me of Ken Stabler

Exactly. Elway or Steve McNair. -
A TRADE THAT COULD HELP THIS TEAM
purple haze replied to DKBills25's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No. Not for Gordon. Good player, but they drafted Singletary for a reason. And they'll probably draft another young guy next spring to go along with him. McCoy and Gore will be fine if the O-line has a pulse. -
The overhang in Seattle makes the most sense. It's also a style used in European soccer stadiums. And I would bet a new joint would look a lot like one of those venues. Modern, stylish and functional.

Who has a better chance of making the 53?
purple haze replied to NewEra's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Close to 0? Come on, man. They drafted him for a reason. If they really thought he had nothing he would have been gone by now. Obviously management doesn't agree with you. No, McCloud didn't play well when he got the opportunity. That doesn't mean he won't play well come July and going forward. Players acclimate. Players get better. We shall see... -
Zay Jones wins Bills' team training award
purple haze replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Context is everything. Those might be great numbers depending on the offense and how the ball is spread around. 100 catches and 1500 yards are great numbers, but no guarantee they will lead to a team winning a chip. Who is the Pats 1500 yard, 100 catch receiver? What im saying is that there are many ways to win, and one way does not fit all. Too many seem concerned with stats. Be concerned with wins. F the rest. -
Deion Sanders' advice for Tre' White
purple haze replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Simple advice is often times the best advice. Tre White is already a professional football player. He's already had success. He already knows techniques, etc. Mindset can take players to the next level. Prime spoke of mindset. Read between the lines. "Product knowledge" takes time. It's not acquired quickly. What has to be sacrificed in order to study opponents in-depth or offensive coordinators? What has to be sacrificed in order to maintain physical ability. Like film study, maximizing one's physique takes focus. If you're plate is always empty you're always working. -
Do you guys think Mark Clayton should be a HOFer?
purple haze replied to njbuff's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I disagree with this line of thinking. Duper and Clayton were good WR's as you state. They ran the routes and had to get open. Marino was able to put the ball where it needed to be consistently, but he wasn't working with stumble bums out there. -
PanchoBilla enters Hospice (Has now passed away)
purple haze replied to mead107's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I'm praying for her too. ???????? And may may rest easy. No more struggle, only peace. -
Yeah, he can pass block too, but I believe it is primarily about getting the run game on track. He's basically another OT. I don't get why people complain. How quickly they forget RBs hit in the backfield regularly and the QB running for his life regularly, and how bad the TE's where at blocking in general. It wasn't just O-linemen.

Andre Roberts isn't really taking a spot from a WR though. He's there for special teams, like Taiwan Jones was there for special teams. But the league mandates that everyone has to have a position. It's not like if Andre Roberts was gone they would keep a different WR necessarily. The Bills will probably keep 6 "WR's". In reality they are keeping 5 like most teams do. Roberts is a ST's guy. That 5th WR will also probably play special teams.

Ben Williams says hello...
-
True. I thought they might give up picks for picks next year since I believe they only have 6 right now.
-
They have four picks for now. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bills only pick one more player in this draft.

"The Bills are winning this Draft" - Per Matt Miller
purple haze replied to Scorp83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You say he's going to be a star. We know Butler has great physical gifts. And he's still not drafted. Doesn't that make you wonder what happened that no one knows about yet? He's not falling for no reason. -
"The Bills are winning this Draft" - Per Matt Miller
purple haze replied to Scorp83's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They must think Singletary is a better player than Williams so it doesn't matter he could've been had a round later. They got their guy where they wanted to get him. Shady and Gore are free agents in 2020. Why is it so shocking they would draft a RB?? It makes total sense if, as Beane has said, he is working to build the team for the present and the future. a RB who hasn't missed a college game, doesn't fumble and is very elusive. Sounds good to me. Why do you think it won't be Dimarco who goes? -
RD 2, Pick 38: OT Cody Ford, Oklahoma
purple haze replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm good with this. Build the lines. The wins will come. -
Yes, but it might not be about good talent, in general, for Beane/McD. It might be about good talent in a specific player they identify for whatever reasons.

Yep. "Undersized" but unblockable. -
