Bills inquired on LB Alex Singleton
billvernsays replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall
You would have to assume that Edmund's days in Buffalo are numbered. I fully expect them to see how he does this year in front of DTs that can protect him but I don't see us offering the kind of money needed to keep him here in at this point. Especially after win go 20-0 and win the super bowl this season! -
How bad is it for Lesile Frazier?
billvernsays replied to Marvlevydraftdaygenius's topic in The Stadium Wall
But why is a 2nd year player from the international exchange program in that position to begin with? there was a T/O called we should’ve had someone in that position who could’ve jammed Kelce, if he’s jammed that play doesn’t happen -

Flying in to take my sons to their first Bills game on Sunday
billvernsays replied to 947's topic in The Stadium Wall
Even though there’s no ketchup and mustard show. Tailgating in Hammers Lot with Pinto Ron (Kenny) is something you and your kids will never forget. Get there early and bring some subs from Wegmans and they’ll be enough food and drink to go around. I think checking out the falls is always is good time, Bar Bill and/or Duffs should fill your Saturday and get you ready for Sunday. Get there EARLY and dress Warm, you’ll have an awesome time. Enjoy & Go Bills! -
Heavy money coming in on Bills last minute

Bills still + 1.5 at DraftKings -
Zach Cunningham released (Update : Claimed by the Titans)
billvernsays replied to billvernsays's topic in The Stadium Wall
It’s over, he got claimed by a front office who knows what they’re doing (Titans) just annoying that we didn’t attempt. I don’t see the potential downside. -

billvernsays replied to billvernsays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Because players like this aren’t available, on waivers, for this cost, this late in the season. I hope I’m wrong and this is a non issue but IMO this was a guy that could’ve helped us on multiple packages during the stretch run and postseason. -
Could’ve had Zach Cunningham Thursday

Just because that’s what we have done doesn’t mean that’s what we should do moving forward. We should run multiple packages when they go heavy we SHOULD be in a position to counter. -

I’m usually the guy saying it’s not that easy and there are many variables to consider when bringing a new guy in, but given the fact that the Texans are paying his guaranteed $$$ I for the life of me don’t understand why you wouldn’t attempt to see if this would work out or not. So much potential upside almost zero downside -

TE has been great against the pass, close to elite in fact. But you can’t deny that he’s below average against the run because his instincts have not caught up with his athleticism. ZC is a beast an 100% instinctive LB, TE could’ve learned a thing or two from him. -

billvernsays replied to billvernsays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not replace Edmunds but for the money ($275k) and the fact that ZC is so highly rated (number 1 vs the run over the past 3 years) it’s hard to say we wouldn’t benefit from him being on our 53 -

billvernsays replied to billvernsays's topic in The Stadium Wall
For 275k!? Man this is difficult to rationalize, I didn’t think he’d get to us, but the face that the Titans got him means we CHOSE to pass. Hopefully we get our run defense figured out or Beane will have to answer for why he felt this wasn’t a win now move. -

This is unbelievably annoying -

billvernsays replied to billvernsays's topic in The Stadium Wall
As opposed to playing nickel and daring teams to run it down our throats. im not suggesting we even need to remove TE from the field, put ZC at MLB, TE on the Outside and sit Taron Johnson at time on 1st and 10. Don’t give ZC pass responsibility, maybe have him play run and blitz if it’s a pass. Do something creative -

I don’t hate Edmunds at all, I think he’s borderline elite at pass defense but very below average at stopping the run. Cunningham could be a great complimentary part of us being a team that can no longer be run over, why are people so against this idea? -

billvernsays replied to billvernsays's topic in The Stadium Wall
I’m suggesting we claim him on waivers. All the Texans $$ was guaranteed, we’d get him for the league minimum If we do this. I don’t really see how this would be a bad thing, he’s the number 1 rated LBer vs the run in the past 3 years. Not wanting him because of $$ is an incorrect assumption because we could pick up his current contract and only be on the hook for $250k this year. At that rate, we COULD only play him in run only situations and be better suited for playoff weather or NE deep in December game situations. I get the character thing BUT at this point shouldn’t the locker room be strong enough to handle ZC? He’d be going from a dumpster fire to a playoff contender that he could really help out. Then we’d be in control to release him, restructure his contract, or trade him for SOMETHING next offseason. It’s a win-win for both sides Currently when teams are in situations where we know they are gonna run they still get positive yardage and I’m sick of it. Let’s stop making TE do things he’s awful at (e.g. Become an instinctive LBer in the run game) and allow him to mainly focus where he excels, blitzing and pass coverage. To the point that was made that “Gee, maybe other teams will pick up on this and throw when ZC is in the and Run when TE is in there” I say great!! that means WE are dictating what the other teams are doing for a change. They are forced to throw when they wouldn’t want to or pass when they should run. That’s called a strategic win. -

We need to be in on him. Have him play for Edmunds on obvious run situations and Edmunds on passing downs -
