I think he makes Gilliam disposable. He has no need to be on this team with Hawes. Hawes can line up at TE and FB and get him more snaps on the field. Someone like him should be on the field a good amount of time in 22 or 12 personnel Hawes is 100x more athletic than Lee Smith could ever dream of. They aren't the same except for their desire to get their nose dirty.

Yeah he was miserable in the pre-season. He looked completely lost.

Well, they won't have to cut him. He's a FA after this year.

I think you're missing the point here and what has made Brady good. They wanted to defense the pass, so we ran.... we've never had that ability to pivot and win before. Agree. Pass game wasn't working, so we relied on the ground game (I know I just posted this above) but we've never had that ability to pivot / be flexible or we've had coaches that are too hard headed to realize one segment of the offense is off so you lean on the other. It's not that the passing game "didn't work" it's that they took it away and we were able to run. This is a win.

Someone alluded to this before, I think in this thread. He has actual fans again. In San Diego/ LA, there just isn't a ton of die hard fans. Bosa went to OSU where the fanbase is as rowdy as Buffalo. I think he's feeling that energy again and to your point.. having fun and enjoying himself.

2021: 31st in points allowed 2022: 28th in points allowed and last in total yards allowed 2023: 23rd in points allowed and 19th in total yards allowed 2024: 7th in points allowed and 20th in total yards allowed You would be correct.

Very fair point.

We literally don't know yet.

Elijah Moore would be a surprise, especially with Shakir's injury. Do you think 1 drop makes someone a cut candidate? Why would you think he'll be cut? I keep seeing that Shavers made the team so Moore is going to get cut but they do not play the same position. So cutting or trading a 27 year old undrafted guy that had a good pre-season would show inability to make sound decisions? I feel like moving a guy like that and getting draft capital is the exact opposite... how many of those guys who shine in pre-season at 27 end up being contributors?

Yeah , he’s not being cut. I’d be very surprised if he is. People lose their mind over the 1 drop he had but ignore the 7 other routes he ran that he was wide open on.

Few things I noticed from the video- 1.) Hawes has to make the team as well. He's been incredibly consistent. 2.) Andreessen just seems sooooo lost in the run game. I don't see how he can make the team.

Yeah , this. No need to us to risk Josh Allen's ACL against a guy fighting for his life to make a roster.

That and him not being available. He continues to miss valuable reps. However, they took him off the field after a few series so I think he's the guy, still.

Yeah this was more of a "Someone step up" I don't think it means they are out in the market. Maybe if someone is cut but I don't know where that would come from. For depth and role players, yes. Every team has position battles for a starter somewhere in the league. He is obviously going to evaluate our weakest position.

Could be right, for sure. Joe looked lost on that play as well. Complete break down.
