  1. Honestly, I'm not worried about their TEs that much. Pitta has had 2 hip dislocations/fractures, who knows what he's capable of. Seems like Crockett Gilmore is their #2, he's a solid guy, all-around type. Just tackle well and limit their YAC, I doubt they'd hurt us.
  2. Oh no. Missing Jacksonville State? That poor guy........
  3. Just starting to dig in but my initial feelings are that it'll be a closer one than many think. Offensively, they need to target Orr in coverage. See what he's got against Charles Clay. He might hold up but he's only played 142 snaps on D. Dumervil vs Mills could get very nasty, very quickly. Expect TE help that side with Glenn singled up on old man Suggs. Defensively, got to make them one-dimensional. Two rookies on the OL and an iffy RT, could give Jerry something to work with if you can get ahead and take away the run. NRC vs probably Aiken in the slot could be the weak link in coverage.
  4. I see them trotting out ILB Zach Orr as a first-year starter. I see him being listed at 225 pounds. Up front, I see a handful. Brandon Williams is the best NT in the NFL.
  5. A line so good, I nearly proved that you can push pasta out through your nose.
  6. Oh baby! http://draftbreakdown.com/video/cooper-kupp-vs-washington-state-2016/
  7. How are people not aware of the Man Bun? It's a hairstyle. It's a stupid hairstyle but it's what makes Dan amazing.
  8. Everyone knows that I think Aguayo was a stupid acquisition in the 2nd round. Quite frankly, I'm not sure he'll ever be better than Barth has been in his career. Teams have given up on him for a reason. That reason shouldn't have been for performance as he's a decent kicker. In Denver, it was probably his kickoff leg. He might have an attitude problem, I'm not privy to that information so I just analyse what he's done on the field. If you don't value a touchback leg, Barth is a good guy to have. There are definitely worse in the NFL.
  9. He was cut for a 2nd round pick that they were never going to give up on. Before that, he was 15-of-16 in Denver after replacing Matt Prater. They signed Brandon McManus to be their kickoff specialist and they rolled with him for 2015. Circumstances matter.
  10. Honestly, 10-6 and a playoff berth. I think the offense can produce to similar levels, just in a slightly different way. Less reliant on chunk plays, working a little more in the short/intermediate areas. I have Rexpectations on defense. I think the margins for success/failure are pretty small. If the Bills could've improved on their points per game total by 3 points per game, that would've been good for 7th in the league in 2015 (19.4 PPG conceded). I think that's roughly where they'd need to be if the offense can sustain its production. Better fits with personnel, better communication. It's no secret that I have my doubts about ST, especially kickoffs. It's a wait and see issue. The investment in ST needs to pay off. This is a talented team. Rex has enough for what he likes to do and will get Dareus back in Week 5, Lawson (hopefully) in Week 9.
  11. I've been preaching it for a couple of years now. Personnel decisions adjust constantly. Patriots draft two tight ends. Teams all of a sudden look for fast linebackers and big safeties. I'm sure we could go back decades and find trends that mirror that. The game is in a constant state of flux.
  12. If you compare Gould and Barth, their career stats aren't that far apart. Gould is 0.6% better on FG, Barth 0.4% better on XP. Gould is the marginally better kickoff man.
  13. Linebackers get smaller and faster, the Bills get bigger and meaner. 1970's football for the !@#$ing win!
  14. Let me just state this very quickly, for the purposes of clarification. Robyn doesn't have any inside information but she's well educated in the medical world. She's also done some extensive research into the NFL's concussion protocol. This isn't intended to create a state of panic, just an insight into what's at play with Aaron at the moment. I hope you can learn something from this piece. http://billswire.usatoday.com/2016/09/04/aaron-williams-buffalo-bills-concussion/
  15. We get a load of US TV. Outside of sports, probably half of what I watch is US-based. You guys make funny stuff that I like. We make period dramas that you guys eat up.
  16. Really good friends with Kyle Long, I think.
  17. I'm pretty sure booing a kid with a confidence issue wasn't helping the process.
  18. I'll admit, I fell hook, line and sinker for Barkley. Watched his USC tape back last summer, would still draft him.
  19. Full-on mega jumbo package: Kouandjio - Glenn - Incognito - Wood - Miller - Mills - Henderson Taylor Gronkowski Vitale McCoy
  20. I have so few, I have to enjoy them.
  21. Hope he's not needed and I'm wrong about Dan. I mean, I'm not because I'm smart but you never know. Dan is worth sparing if he's nailing them like 2014. If he's 2015 Dan, get rid of both.
  22. Veteran rule, two or fewer accrued seasons are still eligible for 4 spots. Marshall Morgan is terrible.
  23. I meant for kickoffs. Dan's ST leg is not good. They know it too.
  24. First refusal on Gay if Carpenter ***** the bed. Solid move. Oh, okay. Thought that would get picked up by the language filter.
