I know it’s totally different and I know they most likely won’t do it. I’m just saying I personally would try it. It’s not ideal. It’s a situation you never wanted to be in. I’d feel more comfortable using a young athletic guy that knows the system then a guy that’s barely ever started. And I don’t think the slot is as important as the outside. So I’d rather play the replacement level backup corner, in there. That’s just me. In a perfect world it never comes up. But that would be my attempt at salvaging the season. And who knows, maybe you accidentally uncover that he’s great on the outside too and you have more depth going forward.

It sounds like the Bills aren’t interested in this approach but the first thing I’d do: I’d take my chances with more 4-3 and Neal in the slot and move Tarron Johnson to the outside. Just for the rest of this year, not permanently. But I’d personally take my shot with 39/24 on the outside. They are the 2 best corners we have. I don’t feel uncomfortable with Neal in the slot and I’d play a lot of 4-3. I’d try that first to see how it went.

Sometimes teams rally around situations like this but just from a pure X’s and O’s Standpoint, you have to have guys out there that can still make plays. Just pure emotion and playing for a guy isn’t going to stop teams from exposing you if there are liabilities out there. I trust Levi and I like Dane but I’d bring in at least 2 veterans that have starting experience. Guys are available. Take a chance. The AFC is wide open. Don’t just throw away this season.

Levi Wallace probably becomes the most important player on this defense now. The drop off gap we need to worry about isn’t from the starters to Dane Jackson. It’s the drop off from Tre to Levi at #1 Go out and sign 3 or 4 veteran CBS with legitimate NFL experience and see if you can get lucky to piece this thing together. Can’t just fold up shop and you can’t just rely on what we have. Give yourself outs here.

In this day and age, I doubt it. I feel like if anyone knew, we’d all know by now.

Kinda thought we might have an update by now

Prince Amukamara🤷‍♂️

I saw that lol I can’t see is getting involved with him again. I saw Prince was out there. He’d probably be worth a look.

That guy was never going to matter IMO. If he had to play we were in serious trouble. This team has championship aspirations. I need guys that you can win in the playoffs with. Levi and Johnson give you that look. Then deal with the slot.

I have actually been sort of envisioning a bizarre scenario where eventually Dawkins gets bounced inside down the road and you just have 2 monster Guards in Dawkins and Williams. Then playing Brown at one of the tackles and a player to be named later as the opposite tackle. No idea why. I just keep thinking about it. Super physical and just hammering people

Started looking at some veteran FA corners last night just to see what’s out there. This is going to suck but you can’t just throw away the whole season. Levi is pretty solid. I personally would take my chances moving Taron Johnson outside for the rest of the season. We already know he’s good and I can’t imagine finding anyone better at this stage of the season. I’d play Levi and Johnson on the outside and use Neal in the slot. There are a few guys you can sign that have been decent in the past but nobody overly impressive. Obviously still hope for the best with Tre but you can’t just say the season is over. There are still a lot of really good players on this defense. Certainly more then most if not all of the other AFC teams.

Idc what the saints situation is, we needed that. Build off it, hope the Titans beat NE, hope for the best with tre and get healthy with 11 days off.

I’m going to jump to a “what if” worse case scenario…..say: we lose tre for 21’ is our fastest route to normalcy on defense moving Taron Johnson outside and playing Neal in the slot? I know he’s great inside and you don’t want to mess with that, but he’s probably the best chance at replacing White with a GOOD corner.

Hope to see Dane step up here. I liked him when he’s gotten a shot, albeit limited time. This is his shot. Make us proud

He wasn’t even throwing it to the guy I'm talking about. Yeah I saw it. He should have gotten the ball out faster to the guy that was open rather then throw it where he tried to throw it.

Did you not see sanders streaking wide open on the crossing route in the middle of the field or?

Guy was wide ***** open in the middle. Last year was a perfect storm. This team needs balance. We are not getting anywhere near the passing efficiency we got last year. Missing wide open guys, making big mistakes, wasting opportunities. 2019 josh is probably closer to what he really is. That’s not even a terrible thing. You just have to recalibrate the thought process of constantly passing the ball.

Is it a good sign that Tre is only doubtful for a return here? I feel like if it was catastrophic, he’d absolutely already be out here

All of a sudden it looks like Ed Oliver might be a guy out there. Really having a nice season after blending in the last 2 years

Douglas actually looked like he might have hammered someone on that play. Maybe we will accidentally luck into an Olineman that can play eventually. Other then Brown obviously

Of course. Finally get Bates in and now he’s hurt

Bates!

Get back under center with blocking help

Stay with the plan on offense. Do not bail on the balance. That drive should be us every drive. We have the horses. Don’t let Dabol ruin it with the constant 1 dimensional empty gun

The next 2 games are probably going to decide this season. 2-0 I like our shot at the division. 1-1, maybe wildcard. 0-2 missing the playoffs
