Sojourner

I’ll tell you who loving Jim Kelly is not impossible for… Himself.

He is the highest paid defender man. Whether it’s factored in this year or the future. He’s at an average for $20m a season. $3m more than Benford and Ed. He got paid. $39m at signing to be exact. $54m practical guarantee if the contract numbers online are accurate. “It’s ok boss. I know you paid me top dollar for the role in our industry. I’ll make it up later” As I’ve stated in other posts, I’m not bashing Greg or saying he’s garbage but simply the production isn’t matching the $’s he was given

Gesundheit.

Absolutely looks purposeful, at least to me. Feel he sees his teammate coming on top of Josh and chooses a lesser tackling option than holding on and potentially damaging the ankle, tibia/fibula or knee.

Definitley a friendly contract to potentially get out of if they ever go that route, that would be in my opinion either via trade or a restructure. Not an outright cut. Will give them credit for that bit of good business on his extension. The problem is that right now he’s the highest paid defender on the team…

A true Yinzer!!! j/k

For sure. Just like Josh his first year… outstanding running the ball but that wasn’t going to cut it. Even then I don’t think I’d say Groot is outstanding this year. Good with a flash of great here or there at best.

Just men who were once kids living out their dream. Like you said, respect to those who let up in a split second if they are able.

We’ve drafted some solid players over the years this regime has been here. Many of whom are key players and starters. Id rather they hit on an elite or dominant player each year. That isn’t feasible but getting a couple out of every few years should be attainable. There’s Josh and Jimbo. That’s pretty much it in terms of the upper echelon at their position. Regardless of that hope, every franchise wants that. Something that is very hard to do. If you can’t do it then do you sacrifice the premium draft picks for players who are?

You’re right to some extent but weekly I see plenty of guys in the league make TFL’s on the opposite side of them. Groot was excellent last year, I’ve acknowledged that on this board and even praised him. This year however is different. He doesn’t see a vast number of double teams and is paid to make plays. Groot is as underwhelming as the rest of them on the line. If was as great as he’s made out to be, that would show up. Sadly for the Bills and Gregory, it doesn’t.

Best run defender on the second worst run defense in the league… Stud! Glad we have the best on the worst. The guy has 3 TFL’s on the season. 3 sacks.

Oh boy. He’s not paid like an adequate pass rusher my friend. And that is the problem. He’s paid to be the guy. Nick Bonitto doesn’t make that much more and regularly shows up, same with Karlaftis. Those guys who are paid double produce in excess of double the plays imo. For the record, I’m a Groot supporter but his play is like you said… adequate. Adequate isn’t what you need if you has aspirations of a Super Bowl.

Maybe this is the Dungy Bucs? A decent HC who built the foundations for the next guy to succeed?

Photoshop Josh’s head on there and make the weight the Buffalo Bills logo and that’s where we are at…

Ive been an advocate to keep McDermott for the most part. The more these issues go on the harder it is to fight that corner. I honestly don’t know where we go. The offense is struggling which might be down to personnel but they can’t seem to do anything consistently aside from Cook making some magic happen. The defense is a shambles at times though I will say they do make some reasonable adjustments at halftime to remedy what they’re getting beat up on. Tough position. The more things go on, the more I’m willing for what you suggest. Sadly.
