Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)

You will not ruin my feel good overly sentimental opinion with your logical, reasonable and probably correct take -
Return of the Tre! (Tre White signs with the Bills)
RunTheBall replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LOVE THIS?? It’s Tre Mother F’n White! The Prodigal Son returns! I don’t care if he’s washed, I’ll waste a roster spot on him just because he’s that good of a dude. Ok now seriously, a 75% Tre locks down that #2 spot and he’s better than Dane Jackson. I think he looked decent with the Ravens. Not the Tre of old, he’s never coming back, but not the Toast Tre with the Rams either. At worst, he’s a solid backup, beloved franchise player, and mentor to whatever young DB we draft. At best, he gets to 80% of old Tre and is a solid #2 CB for the year while whatever draft pick gets up to speed. I smiled ear to ear when this came across my feed. The roar at the Ralph when he comes out of the tunnel will be deafening! Sometimes a feel good move also is the right move for the team. I think this is one of them. Tre White Goalie Academy is back in session! Love it! -
Bills halt contract negotiations with Cook
RunTheBall replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is all posturing on both sides and something will get done. I think a lot of fans still suffer from Post Diggs Drama Syndrome and James hit a raw nerve with his social media BS. Buffalo has all the leverage, and unless James uses his idiot brother Dalvin as his agent, he will understand that. He has an opportunity to get a guaranteed amount of generational wealth now with a team that wants him. Beane isn’t going to lowball him, he’s going to give him a reasonable contract for a very good 2 down back who can’t pass block. Unless James wants to risk playing out the last year of his contract and a potential injury that will cost him 10s of millions, he’ll meet Beane in the middle and sign a reasonable contract. -
I have no ill will towards Stef. He was a big help in the accelerated development of a raw Joshua F’n Allen. Yeah, he became a cancer so bad that Beane took a 31 million dead cap hit to get rid of him, but we actually got a 2nd which I thought was nuts. Now he goes to the Pat* with a bum wheel, takes a crap ton of their money, and who knows when he will be up to speed. Good for him. I don’t think he will be a cancer in NE, he just won’t live up to that contract and he will be gone after 2. It will be interesting to see how Drake develops. He looked good as a rookie but so did CJ Stroud. Now that teams have a year of tape on him they will take away what he likes to do. We will see how he responds.

Ty Johnson is the modern day Fred Jackson
RunTheBall replied to ChronicAndKnuckles's topic in The Stadium Wall
Uh, no. I love Ty in his role, but he’s not close to Freddie -
Has Cook talked himself OFF the Bills for 2025
RunTheBall replied to DeepPass's topic in The Stadium Wall
I like James. He’s a good not great back because he can’t pass block. He’s probably worth 10-12 mil/yr for 3 years to the Bills. If he doesn’t like that, run him into the ground in 2025, let him walk, get a comp pick. -
I liked the trade for Amari. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that our offense opened up and improved after he got here. His lack of production was disappointing. I think it’s a combo of a broken wrist and Brady not really setting up the downfield passing game. We played the short, intermediate game and then every once in a while it was WR go deep. I’d take him back on a cheap deal, but I really think we need a burner who can catch on the outside. We’ve got plenty of guys who can’t separate.

Hoecht and Ogunjobi 6 game suspension for PEDs
RunTheBall replied to Process's topic in The Stadium Wall
Eh, more of a bad look for the team than a huge impact. It sucks and makes Beane look stupid but I’m not too concerned about the impact on the D. We aren’t fixing that defense in a year, especially that D-line. We’ve got 2 pretty good guys (Oliver, Rousseau), 1 potential game changer in Bossa if he doesn’t stub his toe, and a bunch of jags. LB is pretty good. Jackson sets the floor at CB. Safeties are a big question mark. That’s not a SB winning defense. There’s a lot of time between now and September. I expect Beane isn’t done yet. -
Meh

Joey Bosa signs with Buffalo. 1 year, $12.6 million
RunTheBall replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
I can’t believe anyone here really thought Cinci was going to trade us Hendrickson. That’s looney tunes. It’s a good signing. Risky, sure, but it’s only a one year deal and it’s not your money. It doesn’t stop us from drafting a DE, but it takes the pressure off of reaching early. Who else out there who was realistically available did people want? Not Garrett, not Crosby, not Hendrickson. Sweat? Meh. -
Dalton Kincaid- why so underwhelming this season?
RunTheBall replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
Neither Knox or Kincaid are top TEs. Knox is solid but gets paid llke he’s a top TE. Kincaid had a good rookie season then sucked last year. I hope injuries are the reason and I’ll give him a Mulligan because he did flash a lot of potential his first year. I think Beane and McD have both made it clear they need him to get bigger and stronger. They are seeing the same things we are. If Kincaid takes it to heart and works his ass off this off season, I think he can bounce back. Knox you have to keep because of his blocking ability and Kincaid’s regression. I’m cautiously optimistic these guys can be better contributors next year. -
Rousseau sucked in the AFC Championship game. He’d been setting the edge all year and he gave it up at least 5x in the AFCCG including Mahomes TD. I don’t care if you didn’t see it on film, after the first 2 times Reid baited your ass inside you should have learned. I can’t believe how often he gave that edge up. So I’m in the let him play out his 5th year camp. If he explodes, we pay the man. Otherwise it’s another Tremaine Edmunds dump and hopefully we get a good comp pick. We can’t keep running back the same D-line that is the reason we get bounced out of the playoffs every single year.

You can never have too many old, injury prone, over paid defensive ends! Super Bowl.

Did I read that correctly? You think Bernard is an all pro level player? He’s a solid LB but not anywhere near close to all pro, especially this year. I think we need a game changing defensive tackle before Edge. The problem is no one is giving up those guys, so we might have to swing at DE. The game is changing where the best QBs are getting the ball out faster than ever which limits the impact an edge can have. A game wrecker up the middle is where we need to get to. DT, CB, Safety, DE. Lots of needs going into next season.

The defense is garbage. They only look good when Josh gets us a lead and they can just concentrate on stopping the pass. Can someone tell me what the hell Groot was doing rushing inside and losing contain on Mahomes at LEAST 5 times including the TD? We’d been playing contain all year, and very effective at it. What the hell goes through a dudes mind when facing the best QB in football who always uses his legs more in the post season? How after he lost contain the first time was McD not in his ear saying “I don’t care what you do but you better not lose that edge again or I’m playing Solomon all game” I don’t mean to pick on just Groot, the entire D sucked and Babitch got destroyed (although I think he was forced to play man because Elam is such an idiot that after 3 years he can’t figure out zone concepts).
