Some good points.
I do not think Anderson is out of the mix to make the team just because he’s a ST guy and we seem to like those types.
I do think given that S depth one of Marlowe/Hamlin/Anderson could be flipped for a late round pick based purely on the “if Bodine” principle.
Has there been a player (like “Joel”) in the NFL who ever officially went by just one name a la Prince, Cher, Beyoncé, etc. (He Hate Me doesn’t count.)
So is it Rapp v. Hamlin v. Marlowe v. Anderson v. Mayden? Benford still in the mix?
Yep, and I think it boils down to allowing coaches on both sides of the ball to better disguise their calls.
Anytime a coach sees an opposing player on the field who could do a variety of different things post-snap, it creates an amount of uncertainty for that coach.
I think defense (and probably offense too) in the NFL generally is trending toward "positionless" players or at least those with versatility.
Same for Buffalo:
- DE Rousseau can shift inside to DT
- DE Miller can play like and is sometimes listed as a LB
- "MLB" Bernard is more of a WLB
- "MLB" Williams is more of a WLB (and in this thread a S)
- OLB Milano was a S
- CB Benford might be a S
- S Rapp has been and likely will continue to be used as NCB, Big Nickel, and edge blitzer
- S Hyde albeit in college mostly has been used as a CB (plus QB and KR/PR)
That schedule is extremely favorable to the Bills:
- First elite opponent Week 9.
- Late BYE at Week 13.
- Extra time before CIN & KC.
- At MIA in January.
- Over half our games are vs. Howell/Brissett, Tua x2, McCorkle 2x, Daniel Jones, Baker/Trask, and a Russ who can’t cook.
Thanks for the great work! I am higher on the Saints and to a lesser degree Rams. I think Carr will get that offense moving and as long as Stafford is healthy the Rams have a playoff chance.
