Bleeding Bills Blue

I don't look at him as a bad player, but he shouldn't be guaranteed a starting spot either. I'm partial to gronkowski, but rudolph might be a nice fit.

WR 1 - Z - Flanker - Usually off LOS depends on personnel WR 2 - X - Split end - Usually on LOS, doesn't motion TE 1 - Y - On LOS - Same side WR 3 - Slot - Off LOS same side as X Target share is obviously dependent on scheme, but i think thats like the basics of 11 personnel. Obviously things change - i think davis lined up as z quite a bit. It's a bit more flexible now.

He's going to get a lot of money. I don't see him as that type of player. He's also a bit of a diva - and he's not getting 150 targets here.

Yeah - figure you get 2 more years and then you spread some bonus over the next 2. You can draft a replacement maybe in 2022, or sign someone.

Yeah - it was a pre-pandemic restructure to get him on the 2020 team, and he opted out.

Pandemic and limited salary cap this year. Brown and Jefferson don't factor in, if any rfas are non tendered I don't think they count either. So it's basically just Milano, Feliciano, and Williams. If they only target players who were cut they'd probably get some, but I doubt it. Basketball forces sign and trades. Hockey and baseball will see players dealt on expiring deals. The short non guaranteed nature of the contracts, frequency of injury, and lack of deadline activity tend to lead to lots of players changing teams. I think if u did away with them there would probably be more trades, but its so difficult to make an impact as a mid season addition.

I don't think I can say I truly understand the nuances of the position. I think chemistry is a greater part than we might give it credit, and they struggled a lot to start the year with the truncated camp situation. This season in general was a bit more of a challenge too with officiating seeming to allow more holding - which benefits rushing as well as passing offenses. The ineligible man downfield rule also seems to be a bit less enforced than it was in the past, allowing more teams to effectively run RPOs (KC shredded us with these in the first meeting).

A little bit more juice inside can help that run game a bit more. A good receiving tight end can help with blitzes quite a bit though. Create that mismatch that forces them out of their plan. Gronk would be my #1 target here.

So the thoughts around morse are, feliciano starts. The only big question is - who starts at RG with him kicking inside, and you only have a few million to spend.

WR isn't super top heavy, but coming off the injury year that Brown had, he may have trouble getting any term. He's likely looking at 1 yr deal outside of buffalo, and I'm not sure teams look at him as a better option than guys like Hilton Watkins and Perriman. Tack on an extension year and you can lower the base salary (7 mil) considerably, and keep him for 2 years at like 14 or something like that.

Guy needs to help the running game as much as passing attack. So... whoever can help there. I'm open to it. He's a good blocker. Still a load to tackle, and size mismatch. With knox here too he'd definitely still see that lower snap count. But i see him just re-upping with Tampa for another run with Brady. They'll cut howard and make room for him.

I think core special teamer was probably about as good a career as he's going to be able to have honestly. Fast players flame out all the time, you have to be able to do all the other parts of playing running back/WR that he'll probably never level up to. Players who dedicate to the craft of special teams though, can play for a few years.

He had a nice sack early. He didnt get his full back to a player during the punt return though and ended up on his butt then too. Then the game got away from them and he was a non-factor.

I think they really like that van ginkel kid, so save the money and plug it into the O.

Well... taiwan jones role maybe as well. He likely can tackle, and run. Returning would be a bonus - but id like to also bring back mckenzie.

How about we start with a full offseason and get to preseason when we get there 😂

Getting "downed" is getting killed in warzone. So your teammate has to revive you. Allens joke was that everything he said was a lie, except the part where he dies 🤣

With roberts jones and possibly mckenzie gone there's definitely a job to get. There's also special teams - taiwan jones is a free agent as well.

And why trade for mariota when you can just sign tyrod for cheaper. If thats the route you want to go - basically similar to what you ran this year with cam but with a QB who has the arm to push it down the field and outside the hashes (old tyrod's bread and butter).

He's better than cam at this point. Cam can't throw with any consistency, his footwork and platform aren't reliable, and his arm motion is a mess. He can still throw it hard, but trajectory is an issue and he seemed to struggle with accuracy. Mariota is accurate, still athletic - but he started to become a sack machine in his last couple of years. Int% down and sack% up, doesn't have tremendous arm strength or accuracy... doesn't throw people open etc. He's basically tyrod taylor now.

Capped at JV, played a little varsity baseball but I was a smaller kid so I wasn't going to see the field in varsity. Between that, working in restaurants, and wacky tobacky I wasn't as interested in all that would've entailed (lifting, diet, conditioning etc).

I think if there were a reason to believe it were a problem it would have come up. They do a fine job, and are the top announcing pair on Fox. They aren't closing million dollar business deals over scotch - but guess what? That's still happening too. If you think every bartender, chef/cook is 100% sober you are flat out wrong. In my experience of fine dining, usually around 8-830 beers were out. Bartenders aren't supposed to drink a ton on the job, but in my experience even the best ones do. Hell, TV shows have guests on with beers now because it helps people loosen up a bit for live interviews. Announcing a football game is not a formal type of engagement, a certain level of professionalism is required but at the end of the day they're there to tell you what is happening during a game. They try to impart some of their knowledge of football, but also are there to get excited so that you get excited. It's easier for him to do that when he treats it how you might treat attending a game where you aren't announcing. I have no problem with this, it puts no one in danger in the slightest.

If they cut jefferson/butler as everyone suspects... they need interior dline.

His future is to compete for snaps at SAM. I don't know if thats behind milano, or if its with Klein, or a rookie that they haven't selected yet.

I'm good with it... The team needed top end talent to make the jump to division leader. They added diggs. You need to keep reloading to stay at the top. To stay on top you have to keep bringing along depth so when players leave, you have good young players who are chomping at the bit to win a starting job.
