  1. I've watched him play, he has legit never blown me away in any way. 6th round pick for a guy i had not making the team? Sign me up.
  2. Because Addison is better than johnson today. His value is also lower with a cap squeeze in place around the league.
  3. 7th round pick - 2 years, 2 sacks in over 400 defensive snaps - and a solid special teams contributor. I don't know that you could expect much more than a 6th. 2 more years on the cheap, but he needs to make plays on defense to get any real payday. Buffalo spent 2 2nd's and a 1st on DE's so he had long odds to ever make much of an impact here during the remaining 2 years on the deal.
  4. He hasn't lived up to his potential, but he is not killing this defense either. He's a solid man coverage linebacker, who plays a ton of zone. He doesn't tackle with a ton off power, but he's a fine tackler. Insticntually in the pass game, he has struggled with RPOs and quick hitters over the middle - but that's also a reflection of the game being called. I was much more disappointed with the play of the interior dline and ends last year. Pressure came from blitzes, and they were constantly getting gashed through the run game. Butler and Jefferson struggled all year, phillips was bad and then got hurt, Ed O has been "fine", Zimmer made a few plays obviously but you could also watch him getting thrown down the field by double teams. Really need the interior to improve and i think the end's play will kind of come along with it.
  5. Man - Looking at Sanders last several QBs... What was left of Manning's arm Siemen Osweiler Lynch Keenum Flacco Garoppolo What was left of Brees arm Hill I do think he has potential to have a really solid year, even at his age.
  6. I always thought the conway park and surrounding area would be a good spot. You'd need to destroy all of the perry projects and buy up a ton of stuff east of the park to create parking. You'd also need to figure out a way to get overflow people probably from the outer harbor and riverworks areas. So while it'd be cool, its expensive to even begin.
  7. I think mckenzie would have to make the 53, then get put on IR so they could bring him back. Any of the guys like hollister and jones who can be cut and brought back will probably have that done so they can move guys like stevenson to IR.
  8. Yeah, Sherman is kind of waiting it out too. I'm not super high on sherman, but in a cover 2/4 zone defense he's probably solid. I don't think he pushes buffalo across the finish line in a game against someone like KC though - adding him (or norman, or any older vet who's available) would be more about getting to that game.
  9. It's a term for a kind of deep set cover 2/quarters hybrid. Lots of changes based on route depth, this explains it fairly well. https://www.arrowheadpride.com/2019/7/1/18772914/summer-of-spags-2-read-coverage-rules-and-permutations
  10. Palms quarters is all about getting 3rd down stops. U won't stop them every time, but if u can stop them short of the sticks most teams punt and kick a lot.
  11. It's a PA heavy offense that limits the qb exposure. And he hasn't played enough games to be 38-12. In a year where the cap went down 12 mil is a lot. And no ones trading for him next year when he probably gets released
  12. Qb record isn't a real Stat though. He's also 24-8, not 38-12. He's never had a particularly impressive statistical year, and the offense was at its most effective when they ran the ball.
  13. And sadly this team needs guys for the game tomorrow.
  14. I am in Williamsville - a couple of minutes from 290. So I'd say 25 minutes maybe? Usually takes 45 to hammers just because of traffic in the morning.
  15. I think the issues I have are with the mask requirements and testing requirements. If the vaccinated can still transmit, then why are they tested less frequently and not subject to mask requirements and limitation of gatherings etc?
  16. He's played substantially fewer games than Trubisky, is 30, and will cost a team 25 million dollars for a single year. He's missed 23 games over the last 3 years due to injury. His playoff numbers are also a tad suspect. His healthy season - the 49ers had the #2 defense in yards, and 6th in takeaways with 5 defensive scores. They're also a heavy run team with the shanahan offense. He's a fit in certain offenses, but i don't think he's capable of taking a spot from a rookie or something like that - I'd say he's maybe a slight upgrade over mitch in certain offenses, but i'd probably put him on par with minshew.
  17. I think this is "initial" - then you IR a couple of guys and bring back hollister and jones as they don't need to clear waivers (or so I'm told).
  18. He also booted that ball in the titans game that set the tone for screw ups.
  19. Maybe down the line, they expand it - it's always about money though.
  20. They do still have the expanded practice squad.
  21. It's excessive for a game day 46, however i could see it argued that you want 7 on the 53 though. Especially since the TE's aren't great. The practice squad rules also allow you to carry significantly more players, as well as make them available on the "55".
  22. I know - like every olineman taken after that was a stud too. Thomas or Bryant. JPP... Just a totally strange pick.
  23. Not upset. It is a strange strategy. Especially to draft them in what many considered weaker drafts at the position. I like that they went with the upside of rousseau's athleticism, to go with epenesa and basham who probably project as lower ceiling players. I also think basham may have been more of a BPA type of situation, as the corners went off the board before they could land one.
  24. Sure... 2 DE's play on any given play - sometimes more. Both starters are 33+. Its also a more in-demand and impactful position in terms of wins and losses. They also have only drafted 1 DE since McD arrived, and that was in the 7th. Pass rushers are also expensive on their 2nd deal, so the goal being to get cheaper at that position in the next 3-4 seasons. The implication was that Buffalo should have drafted him - but they were never able to since he was drafted before buffalo picked at #30. So it would have required a trade-up to get a running back.
  25. Taking a RB in the first is one thing... but trading up!? That's absurd 😆
