Buffalo716

Lmao no but I was scouting in Central and western New York when he came out And seeing kids go from unheralded walk on to all American in your small town is always a great story He actually went a different route and did one year at a postgrad school after West Seneca... which West Seneca East just sent another kid to this past year who is really good too And that's a long hard route for a 0 star recruit... We prop up our own in Buffalo

Choosing your destination definitely has some benefits to a back end of the roster guy.. does he have a better chance long term choosing his destination instead of getting drafted round seven? Sure He can really go to the best spot 30% of the NFL is undrafted free agents

Of course but that's the mold for an SEC linebacker Tennessee or Ol Miss or Georgia or Alabama isn't going to waste one year on a guy like dolac from the portal.. they have seven guys on their roster waiting in the wings, and even if those guys leave they have three incoming freshmen with four or five stars A zero Star high School prospect who got three stars in the portal isn't worth their time even if he's really good

I went to ub pro Day last year and there was at least 22 NFL teams in attendance if I remember And a couple CFL teams Of course making a roster is the goal but going to the combine is the easiest way to get drafted statistically

U act like the the Mac is division 3 football lol the Mac puts out good amount of NFL players every single year and he's the best defender in the Mac He also did have an offer and went to Utah State home of Bobby Wagner but literally left after 3 weeks and enrolled back at UB No sec school is taking a small Mac linebacker... No matter the stats he produced They literally have four and five star players out the yin yang on their depth charts.. they're not wasting one year on a guy when they have freshmen at 240 lb running 4.5 40s That's not a knock on dolacs talent.. the SEC just won't knock

Yea build wise ... We're so not specialized in Western New York for football our best guys are playing two three positions throughout their high School career Dolac was running for 2,000 yards as a senior.. when if he was maybe in Ohio he would have been only focusing on linebacker in a bigger division and had some offers Prolly gonna be around 225-230 pounds He is

Only AP All-American not to get a combine invite... Led the nation in tackles two out of the last 4 years I'd say not going to the combine is a pretty big snub when you were awarded first team AP All-American and led the nation in tackles twice Andreeson was good but was only at UB for one year and was in FCS player mostly.. Shaun has multiple heavy impact years at the FBS

I mean officially we're going to have to wait till the pro day... But 4.6 range.. great day 4.65.. bad day 4.7 something But I think he'll run under that... At summer practices over the years he's been in the 4.6- 4.7 range

West Seneca East graduate and first team AP all American shaun Dolac has another uphill battle to the league Being snubbed from every major All-Star game and the NFL combine The latest talented Buffalo bulls linebacker will have to wow at the pro Day to catch some more eyes I have a sixth round grade on him and expect him to go undrafted at this point but priority UDFA and he will get his chance to stick in the league At this point I will not be surprised if he ends up signing with Buffalo as an undrafted free agent and reunites with Buffalo Joe A local kid to first team All-American to Buffalo Bills linebacker sounds like a movie

Jackson dart is probably going to go in the top 65 Way too early for us to be taking our quarterback with holes we need to fill

Martin is

Somebody said around 40% of all targets go to a WR so I checked the bills percentage

I mistyped.. it's 1011 plays not 1110 So 295 of 1011 is 29%

The bills ran around a 1011 plays 295 were pass plays targeted at a WR

A rookie quarterback sitting doesn't need to learn from the quarterback ahead of him lol In fact being around the game for 30 years at a high level.. most starting quality quarterbacks do not want anything to do with helping a young guy improve in the NFL.. because that ultimately makes them lose their job Brett favre wanted nothing to do with helping Aaron Rodgers It was up to the Green Bay coaches to get Aaron Rodgers ready Just like it was up to the Bills coaches, and our offensive coordinator, and our quarterback coach to get Josh ready Not Nathan Peterman Now can you say we went into the season with a terrible starter.. but at the end of the day so do a handful of NFL teams And you could never convince me that the Jets would have developed Josh Allen better or he'd be better off in other situations... Just like you could never tell me Tom Brady would have been better off if he was drafted by the browns or the bills We absolutely get credit because it takes an entire organization to develop a quarterback something we didn't have for 20 years.. a top-down commitment

How one player produces in one system on one team is not indicative how he's going to produce on ours We literally had two all pros at safety and we couldn't stop Patrick mahomes for years So I'm going to say no he would not make a difference that would change the outcome.. and who knows how these players will look in 3 years Sean McDermott was angry from day one because Bishop got hurt and missed time and training camp which set him back in a system that's complicated

No, 100 years of football history shows it's always better to sit a rookie and let him learn then throw him to the fire You can develop a lot of quarterbacks.. you can ruin them just as fast by throwing them to the fire Sean McDermott did what any smart coach would do.. try to keep his rookie quarterback off the field learning as much as possible so he didn't have to get thrown to the wolves Plenty of quarterbacks are ruined before they ever have a chance because of terrible circumstances.. Josh sitting another 10 games would have been more beneficial.. but Sean also feels the heat of potentially getting fired But sitting a rookie quarterback is always 100% the correct thing to do because it never makes them worse.. learning the pro game from the sidelines while working on your weaknesses has been tried and true for quarterbacks for 70 years .. first round picks used to sit all the time back in the day Sean wanted to prolong his quarterback getting thrown to the fire on a subpar roster Josh Allen is not Josh Allen if he gets drafted by the Jets lol they would have ruined him... Sean McDermott has been a calming influence since day one and Josh has got to grow Tom Brady is not Tom Brady unless he got belichick and the Patriot Way 100% Sean McDermott gets credit for helping develop Josh Allen and being a calming influence allowing him to reach his potential To think current MVP Josh Allen .. is the same in 32 situations across the NFL is insane lol the Buffalo Bills deserve credit

Jim Schwartz also had a defense that wilted when we needed it most It had zero Gap control and got abused when it needed to step up against the raiders I have zero faith that even Josh Allen is propelling that team to a super bowl... It didn't want to stuff the run when it mattered, the raiders went for like a 140 in the biggest game of the year

Every single team in the NFL has a goal of the super bowl lol Even the worst place team from the year before .. the Redskins picked second and went to the NFC championship game lol When you lose all the players we did it's certainly is a learning year for a lot of players.. notice I didn't say rebuild But it is a learning year.. when you lose 2 safeties who have been here for 7 years, our number one wide receiver, our starting center for the last 6 years , technically also lost our number two receiver who another NFL team gave 14 or 15 million a year to... Going to a physically talented player like McGovern he hasn't played center in years... Keon Coleman was learning on the fly... Our two safeties were learning how to play together consistently, Allen was learning new receivers , Joe Brady was morphing his offense first full year That's a lot of players with a lot of starts to replace... Like I expected to win the AFC East To say you didn't expect a learning curve is straight up ridiculous... And again you make it sound like I said straight up rebuild lol I said somewhat of a learning year which when you have all those new players it is You only gain experience playing.. we had lots of players learning on the job that's a fact And that's going to come with ups and downs

Lamar also has multiple MVPs with rosters stacked with pro bowl players The league doesn't know how to judge MVP let's be real They switch criteria yearly and have zero consistency.. Josh Allen won the award because he could have won two or three times and he deserves it This isn't a bottom 5 10 or 15 roster And we lost a lot of veteran starters and it was supposed to be a somewhat learning year.. and we still did really good The future is still bright Josh is going to be here for the next 10 years so what are we talking about his successor lol

Don't even joke about how much Kitty that Chevy traverse will pull slick Rick I grew up on the east side of Buffalo and still have my family house there... He's now a certified player with a shout out from Josh Allen He's about to be swimming if you catch my drift

For sure it's not fun... I think Benford is a very tough and talented cornerback Head injuries is just one thing you have to be careful with because they don't get better The change of play you're talking about with wood and other players... It's a big thing with scouting the best high school lineman to college... The one thing we look for is sound technique A straight Mauler who pancakes players into other players.. and is constantly putting his other teammates knees etc at risk isn't a five-star player or 4 stars player because he's always at risk of hurting his teammates Blocking soundly up front, while executing assignments and technique while not hurting your teammates is huge.. there's plenty of guys who pancakes players into the back of their own players kneecaps and you can't have that at the highest level Technique with ability is huge... It's a smart man smart as much as a tough guys

I stopped playing D1 ball because concussions.. I had around 5 in a 2.5 year span because I always came back to fast to try and play Never fully recovered , and smaller hits would then be more impactful I was also a run support corner which didn't help but yeah I've seen so many head injuries end careers

Tt was playing like crap He tried to do something it backfired... The roster was devoid of talent .. he literally traded players like Marcel Darius for peanuts lol Every coach owes a great quarterback.. McDermott also should get respect for helping develop Allen and change the culture .. his presence and calmness can't be overstated Josh Allen is not Josh Allen in 32 organizations He would not have turned the Jets around even with all his amazing talent The bills organization let him grow and learn and mature

He literally took us to the playoffs with a roster devoid of talent and tyrod Taylor lol Bad at coaching is the worst take I've ever read... You could say he's not Don Shula but bad is ridiculous
