Bleeding Bills Blue

People keep calling it that and I'm like HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN STAR WARS? THE DEATH STAR IS GREY!! ;aklsdjf;klakjdf;a

Anyone else excited for the MSG sphere? I'm not sure why I'd ever go there, i just think it looks neat.

Lol at the Whaley hate. Stop showing up fat and high as hell and maybe we'll talk. I love how he complains about Jonathan Williams, when he lost his job to TD Mike. He was a backup RB to Shady - you have to respect that your job is not locked in and act like a professional.

Depends on their draft. If they draft oline - i could see them moving Thuney for someone like dalton + picks. Move Sanu for late round pick or cut him. Also if they move out of the first they save some cap space as well. Other than that they're really limited on what they can do.

Bad number font. ATL? What is that? Red and black gradient jersey? Yuck. Weird stripes. The throwback should just be the uniform. Overall. Not good.

ST can be found very easily though. Depth Safeties and corners will play special teams. Neal and Jones appear to be the primary gunners likely on punt coverage, but depth corners and safeties can do that role just as well. If he was like a probowler? His job would be safe. But right now I'd list Neal and Jones as above him on the gunner depth chart.

I think they established that running game matters, but not necessarily the back. They also kind of made note of the fact that a good offensive line and QB can affect the position greatly. There wasn't like a clear - this is the way to get running backs though. "Running backs matter, but as we recognize they matter less than other positions, let’s not go overboard."

Punters have become a lot better. I liked what the XFL did though - nothing out of bounds inside the 20 or it gets pushed out to the 35. Same with touchbacks - pushed to the 35. They also wouldnt let gunners cross the LOS til the ball is punted. So basically even an attempt at a high punt for a fair catch could end up rolling into the end zone if your gunners couldnt stop it. More returns and more 4th down attempts.

Figure 4 or 5 go in the first - which might be low. You still have Bengals again, Colts, Lions, Giants, Panthers, Jags, Colts again, Broncos, Jets, Steelers, Cowboys, and Eagles again before buffalo picks. So if the 5 in rd 1 go say to - raiders, 49ers, Vikings, Saints, and i dunno Seahawks. All of those teams with needs above may be targeting WRs. So at least a few of the 2nd and 3rd tier guys may come off the board.

Foster played fewer ST snaps (37.92%) than perry, neal, j johnson, k johnson, and coleman. He was not a primary gunner. Mckenzie played almost half of the offensive snaps in 2019. Foster also caught 3 of 18 targets in 2019... he has long odds of making the team imo.

Foster would likely be the cut. Now do you activate this guy over McK? Considering McK is a gadget player and has made plays for the team, i don't think so - not for a 4th WR. I'm not against it, but what's to say theyre the BPA? Right - like whos the starting running back for the 49ers right now?

I'd argue Shenault too. But again - we don't know who else is there. Their board isn't the same as kipers, and they probably have some players higher than others.

They wanted to break up with Lynch. Which looking back was indicative of poor coaching, poor player management, poor ownership etc.

I don't disagree. But you're using your first and 2nd round picks on WRs. They brought McKenzie back after the Diggs trade, so I think they're planning on a later round developmental guy imo.

I like him too. Injury prone. But it seems like almost all of these guys have some injury concern. They're basically free agents due to coronavirus. But i think one of these guys ends up here, and a rookie. At the very least need to push Yeldon. I don't even know why they hate yeldon so much. Had 900 total yards and 5 TDs in 2018, career YPA of around 4. I know he doesn't play special teams but yeesh, we carried dimarco and perry for 27 games and yeldon played 6... mostly when singletary was out. Some strange frank gore obsession by the coaching staff. Maybe beane likes yeldon and is trying to convince mcdermott that we already have the backup RB?

Hyde, Freeman Miller. All older, and would need a workout before a team would sign them. Crowells coming off an achilles so he'll probably be cheap.

Disagree. The super bowl was played with damien williams and raheem mostert as the feature backs. How many more YPC will singletary get than yeldon and taiwan jones anyway? I believe they're going to bring more people in, whether a 2nd 3rd or whatever pick. They'll probably also sign another free agent.

I'm not against it - If someone they have as a first round talent is there, go for it. Especially if the other targets aren't as appealing. I personally want to see a 3rd safety there to use big nickel a bit more. Between Neal and Johnson you're somewhat suited to handle slot WRs, but neither player there is irreplaceable. Neal brings more to special teams, but Johnson has been hurt in consecutive years and has had some tackling issues. I also think adding another layer to stopping TEs is huge. Especially when the class of the AFC is Baltimore and KC who both use that part of the game a lot. Steelers added Ebron as well.

Mckenzie played about 40% of snaps, and Duke/Foster about 20 each with roberts at about 10. Now Diggs basically takes all of those snaps. Even a 2nd round rookie is looking at like 10-15% of game snaps... IF he can push Mckenzie out of gadget snaps. I assume Foster will be the cut - he was alright on special teams... but Between taiwan, neal, wallace/Gaines/rookie, and other depth safeties... its not like he's matthew slater. Correct - its also silly to assume a rookie pushes out veterans on a depth chart. It's also a bit of a luxury to draft a player who if all goes to plan, might get like 100 snaps.

Mcgahee averaged 1200 yards and like 8 TDs a year over 3 years.

My only criticism here is you are only evaluating based on that drafts running backs regarding spiller. The fact is - we had 2 running backs in lynch and jackson - you only take spiller if you think he is a superstar. I can actually argue Mcgahee was a better pick - he was closer to a superstar. Spiller was not a superstar, or even particularly good. I'd consider someone a bust when they don't really provide much discernable value to the team that drafted them.

Just depends how it falls. Using a first on diggs means its very unlikely that the 2nd or 3rd rounder would be used on a WR. Even with a small role to cut out, thats just a lot of draft capital to spend on a single position with already going 3 deep at the position. Depth is important too, so if there's like 1st round talent leaping out on your board in the 2nd round, i guess you have to take a shot? It's definitely tricky. I mean Mckenzie and Foster are both like 25. Roberts has made his money as a returner (5 return TDs career) - but he also has 3000 yards receiving in his career. Duke Williams played his way onto the team last year too. The guy we're talking about might not even be active on gamedays if everyone is healthy.

He didn't get a 2nd contract here, essentially flamed out with injuries. Had about 400 total yards rushing+receiving after he left buffalo. He did make a probowl i guess.

Spiller had a productive career? He had fewer rushing yards than Isaiah Crowell, and Bilal Powell...
