Bills Draft Visit Spotlight- Isaiah Spiller Texas A&M RB
Richard Noggin replied to jethro_tull's topic in The Stadium Wall
I work a second job most Saturdays. Paint is expensive. -
Am I the only one who hasn't completely given up on Zack Moss?
Richard Noggin replied to Logic's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'll commend the OP for presenting a claim that I initially laughed off. Would have replied with a smug, "Probably." But upon actually reading the support for his claim, I'm actually at least considering the possibility of Moss having a chance to be more effective this season. One counter is that the WIDE zone asks for RBs with more speed/burst than we've seen out of Moss to date. -
Bills restructure Ryan Bates contract
Richard Noggin replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
But doesn't that greatly disadvantage the player and the team? Obviously the team likes having the flexibility of moving cap money around to create space, BUT we often forget how advantageous these restructures are for players: get MORE guaranteed money up front in a lump sum (the first priority in all contract negotiations in a league where deals are not, for the most part, guaranteed), AND make it more likely you'll actually stay employed to see those higher salary numbers in the back half of the deal (restructured contracts are more costly to terminate). It's a win-win for players AND teams to allow for widespread freedom to restructure. -
DOLPHINS Player who practiced reeking of booze?

Look at the tip of his nose for eff's sake. -
Diggs Extended 4 more years breaking news per WGR 550
Richard Noggin replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Why? I found it comforting. In a world where marriages are a 50/50 proposition, it's nice to imagine these two together for the long haul. -
I think your question-and-answer could grammatically/logically suggest that Beane doesn't negotiate contracts, and instead follows social media to gauge which way the wind is blowing. Obviously I know that's not the intention, and likely just my stupid former English Prof brain putting more pressure on that first comma+conjunction construction.

Diggs Extended 4 more years breaking news per WGR 550
Richard Noggin replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
The rare Win-Win scenario. One of the less heralded benefits of organizational "culture" might be represented by the structure of this extension. Fair deal for both sides without any unnecessary distractions. Could he get more elsewhere? Yeah, possibly. But he didn't want more elsewhere. -

Richard Noggin replied to BillsPride12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Maybe this was more broadly understood to be true, as the deals are almost always more team friendly than initially reported, but...this is a good looking extension. -
Seahawks turn down Jets offer of the #10 pick for DK Metcalf
Richard Noggin replied to Greg S's topic in The Stadium Wall
I remember the agility numbers at the combine being the loudest criticism. His numbers tested out as only straight-line speed. Therefore, route running and separation became loud concerns. At least in the media (although his draft fall suggests GMs shared these concerns). -
This draft would be insanely ideal, without being video game unrealistic. For sure the 4th and 7th round picks seem completely unlikely (The Punt God falls to pick 231?! and the trait-monster "modern" NFL LB falls to the late 4th?). But as far as mocks go, that's pretty reasonable. Would be amazing to land two prospects at WR AND CB. Afraid that the 2nd guy at each position (especially WR) would be at risk of poaching, however.

The Bills need to acquire an enforcer on defense.
Richard Noggin replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall
I think Jordan Philips and Shaq Lawson were brought back for reasons that are at least adjacent to the OP's. McD calls it juice. (Energy + Emotion)Physicality = Juice. -
2022 Free Agency - Around the NFL Thread
Richard Noggin replied to Draconator's topic in The Stadium Wall
Based on QB play, sure. Buuuuuttt we should expect that BB sees value in Parker, and has a plan for a guy who he's had to spend prep time on every season since 2015. Plus there's WR trade precedent here. The Patriots gave up a little bit more (2 + 7 vs just a 3) for Welker, to be fair, but definitely had a plan for him. Interestingly, Parker has only had 3, maybe 4, solid games against the Pats in 12 matchups. And only 1 TD. -
List of draft players Bills have met with
Richard Noggin replied to Pete's topic in The Stadium Wall
Where's the wisdom in this particular move? Dumping salary to create a gaping roster hole at a premium position doesn't make much sense in a "window" year. So they'd have to use whatever draft assets they acquired to replace Dawkins. And that's no sure thing. -

Go on... (I know squadoosh about RB prospects this year.) -

And I quote, "The senior caught 156 catches in his career, including 86 alone in 2019." Emphasis mine. The audible reactions in the room are priceless. -
Pounding the table for Christian Watson at 25
Richard Noggin replied to Vickveto's topic in The Stadium Wall
Eh Matt Jones had some issues with too much "want to," if you know what I mean... -
Let’s give Antonio Brown some Million Dollar love.
Richard Noggin replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall
My point is that your point, in the quoted post, is obviously ignorant of certain human realities we've seen play out over the past 3-5 seasons. -

Richard Noggin replied to BringBackFergy's topic in The Stadium Wall
Are you ACTUALLY arguing that production alone, especially much earlier in his career before he outed himself as a toxic force incapable of adhering to any semblance of organizational structure and professional decorum, is enough to convince reasonable people that this declining narcissist would be a POSITIVE influence on our favorite team's outlook? LOL -
The guard projections are almost disqualifyingly uninformed. That Boettger would be listed as a starter, despite his unavailability due to a LATE season Achilles injury, AND the new multi-year deal for Bates who was better as a replacement, AND the acquisition of the obvious new starter at LG...that's a lot of wrong. Also, Matakevich as backup at WEAK side LB? That's wrong, too. Minor point, but depth charts are about details.

I look at this draft as conservative and solid for long-term roster building. Obviously some insane value fell to rounds 2 and 3. Probably unlikely, but definitely no-brainers at those picks.
