Seriously... This almost bums me out a little cause I can only imagine how dynamic and super scary this offense would be with a 26 year old Shady on our team. Our offense would be so good we could do anything we wanted to, when we wanted or needed to. I was in my early 20's during the bills hay day... it also makes me think how good our offense was those years with a Thurman Thomas. Many will not agree but having a strong RB on the team would make this team so much better.. Having a strong RB is not about running more folks... Its about having that threat to be able to run and then on weather days have the ability to crap it down peoples throats... convincingly. In all seriousness hoping Josh brings it to another level is not my first/priority hope. My main hope is that one of these RB's we have now figures it out and we have the proper scheme to block for them... That's my #1 hope going into this year. We have a new sarcastic/troll post of the year folks.. right here.

When we have to run.. I want to let it be known that we will destroy with what little we pass.. vice versa

Hey you mods out there!!!! IF you guys merged every Ertz thread over the last 3 months would we break the record for the longest thread? just wondering lol

your opinion is he would be better with what he did in college as edge. McD' opinion is that he should be an ILB. Coaches opinion that matters in this case he played the position he is being paid for.. All that being said.. I agree.. he would be a better OLB/EDGE

well said and I agree lol great point.

ok but that's opinionated that he should play that position not more factual. but i see it and get it lol

hey you know what they say... Aim high and hope we get one of the two lol.. Nelson and Ertz on this team would be crazy!

I think to some that look ad Edmunds and thinks so highly of them then others think so much lower of him it feels like hate I don't think its hate.. just feels that way because some of us are very optimistic and others.. meh to your bolded.. how do you feel Edmunds has been played out of positing? cause he is a 4-3 MLB and we play mostly nickel? or is it something else?

great reply to a great post. To your bolded above. I think we do not have to have a good running game but at the same time... I think we need to have that threat of one. Something we don't have.. Does not have to be a good/great run game... but if the threat does not exist then throwing as often as we do adds extra stress to the offensive line... to counter balance that, Josh being an amazing athlete has helped but should not be the end of all means... I think early next season we should show that if we decide to run it... we will.. and when we decide to pass it lots... we will

Tiny bubbles... in my wine... makes me happy.... makes me fine... oh wait? maybe? possibly? no maybe not? I will get back to singing

I think we need more creative plays like the flip pass to McKenzie. I think we need to roll with different ways with the screen.. things of that nature. Sad part is, if Daboll looks more genius this year, say good by to him the next.

Thanks NewEra. I found it interesting what some thought player regression meant. some thinks/thought its stats based. But we are talking about the player as a whole. If stats go down but he becomes a better in other tangibles then that is not player regression... That is just stat regression. I think in stats alone, that is where opinions are split.

your right I did read it wrong. To much V8 I guess my bad lol

I think what is not obvious to many is how much the defensive line play effects the play of the LBS. I don't think Edmunds regressed.. Read my comment earlier in this thread. Defensive lines should dictate where and how offensive lines block.. not the other way around. Our defensive line sucked last year.... the line had 0 gap control and offensive lines could pretty much do what they wanted with our line. you have to grasp onto 2 things. 1. our defensive line SUCKED and that 100% effects LB play. Now I am not saying you are clueless to this fact but many are 2. The guy was injured and played injured so much of that year last year. I think Edmunds is top 7-10 MLB in this league with so much potential to be better. If you think that makes Edmunds "just ok" then I don't know what to say. This short article says it all https://www.wgrz.com/article/sports/nfl/bills/leslie-frazier-says-tremaine-edmunds-story-isnt-written-yet-on-his-career/71-fdd1644e-f726-4eb0-a2af-6072ede7c720 If Frazier is confident that the story is not written on his career then that brings me confidents. There are so many things that was screwy about last year that put way to much pressure on ILB last year... Playing nickel defense so often, Horrid line play and his injuries all had a hand These are not excuses my friend... these are facts.

Offensive lines were dictating who to double team last year. who when where. Typically a defensive line if better then average dictates the gaps for the LB's to hit. Because our D'Line was really bad last year, it Makes the LBS look worse. When a line can move the A and B gap to there liking it makes the LBS hit a gap that simply is not there. This explains why Edmunds was hitting the line in the wrong places or looked "out of position" Also Our defense had to be creative last year because our front 4 did not reach home as much as one would hope. This puts even more pressure on Milano and Edmunds. I get it in coverage.. Edmunds looked lost at times.. He bit on the inside stuff to much at times or bit on the pump fakes.. The kid is young yet he has had some years in the NFL to learn. This is not making excuses for Edmunds nor should have any excuses this year as defensive play should improve.. In short... the book is not 100% written on Edmunds yet... but I sure am enjoying reading it.

Bolded So that's garbage... as much as crowd noise goes against QB's in away games... That much more will help QB's in home games. Another horrible narrative. There is a old saying in sports talk.. If you are going to say something that might not be popular... prepare to put your money where your mouth is. as for what you do in the stock market?

So from year 1 to year 2... US as Bills Fan saw it... call it the eye test.. call it knowing how bad the people around Josh really were... PFF is not blind to what they saw last year... BUT they are blind when it comes to situational stuff and where this team was at at the time. PFF is all about raw stats and analytics off those stats and those analytics did not tell the whole story from year to year other then last year. So sadly with how PFF operates it is to hard for them to see it.

1995 Andre Reed just played 6 games due to Injury 1996 We did not have much of what I would call a solid #3 Moulds was a rookie that year and Reed had his 4th best year in total yards 1996 Was Jim Kelly's last year as a Bill and the O'line was struggling so to compensate they used Andre deeper and had to dump it off more. To my knowledge and maybe I am wrong, small slot receivers were not much of a thing then

no what your doing is calling people sensitive and saying there all worked up to try and flame and troll... just knock it off

IF your a more effective QB then I would not call that regression

ding ding ding ding. glad we agree exactly this. Cant talk for people on these boards... especially when you use "the wrong word"

you got called out and lost get over it

very very well put.

The quote below is the statement you said. I new you were so far wrong that I created a poll. PROVES you are wrong that most people do not think he will regress. IF you had said some think he will aggress then I understand. Now you call us sensitive cause your proven wrong and you continue to act like gods gift that it is FACTUAL that he regresses. I care what you expect that's on you and you have every right to your opinion. But Don't act like its factual "like it or not" your way or the high way attitude around here and then draw us into it like you thought everyone else agrees with you.. then you call us sensitive... Sorry we love Josh.. Sorry we think he will improve. Your word isnt the final word. stop acting it.

So statistical drop in about every category ... just don't see it. He will do other things better that could create less throwing yards but more TD's.
