RoyBatty is alive

And 2 of 3 gonzo. 3 in the bottom 20 is ridiculous. We had little choice but to keep Davis. It wasnt as if Mckenzie/Singletary were dropping bullets thrown by Allen, that I could understand a bit. Also lends credibility to why the wanted Kincaid so desperately, a player that has the best hands in years. Didnt Knox have a lot of drops his first two years? He seems to have cleaned it up or I am wrong.

I hate to agree with you. Hines record as a RB is not impressive. He has averaged 3.9/yc and in 5 years scored 10 rushing TDs. Looking at his numbers I dont really understand the trade beyond the Bills were unimpressed by Moss and wanted to move on, just as they did with Singletary, clean out the RB room and also move on from McKenzie as a return specialist..

And it is only a matter of time before he gets hurt in the pocket , so what. Simple fact is statistically Josh is "safer" on his design runs than in the pocket. You are right none of us have crystal balls.

I think the planned runs by Allen are fine, he doesn't get hurt by them. His injuries happen in the pocket, I like the designed runs but we just have too many, it is like a crutch, when we really needs yards they dial up a planned run.

well you certainly honed right to the heart of the problem

Makes sense, I have no idea if Hines can pass block. Cook is supposed to be a great receiver as a RB, lets see if Dorsey can adequately use him. Just like Kincaid at TE, lets see what Dorsey can scheme up to utilize him to the utmost.

I don't necessarily disagree with you but think that was more or less decided when we added Harris and Murray. He will be a return man/backup RB and gadget player. A McKenzie that doesn't drop the ball as much.

Thanks for stating the obvious with another value added opinion.. Life must be very difficult for you, too many variable, you cant predict anything.

I think both will have a major uptick in playing time and productivity in 2023. We all know how difficult it is for rookies in the NFL and how reticent McDermott is to play rookies. Both now have a year and I think both have have a great season. James Cook. On his first career carry, Cook fumbled which really put him in the dog house. With the exception of the blowout win 41-7 over the Titans, Cook averaged only 3.7 carries a game until December after which he averaged 8.6/game, among other factors took a while for them to have faith in him. He only had 89 total carries for the years with 507 yards, an impressive 5.7/carry (even if you take out his longest run, a TBD favorite stat, it was still 5.4/carry). He didn't have much in terms of a seasoned RB room with Zach Moss and Devon Singletary. I think the addition of veterans Murray and Harris (the "patriot way", fwiw) can only help. Most importantly, the Bills made a concerted effort to beef up the interior of the O Line. He can crack through the front line with some real O line help, he might get into the open to use his speed. Also more experience receiving the ball. I think the much maligned Dorsey could even split him out as a WR. In combination with the hybrid WR/TE Kincaid, could present some real match opportunities. He isnt the biggest back and probably never be a 200+ carry/year, (good reason to have Murray and Harris) but I think in yards from scrimmage, he can crack 1,000 yards. Kaiir Elam. I strongly encourage listening to the Cover 1 interview with Kaiir Elam. The easy manner he can discuss in depth how he reads and bates the QBs is entertaining, not something I expected from a 1 year experience player. And he answered decisively, he appeared to know what he is supposed to do cold. I love it when talking about Pickett he said he was "young" and tried to be a "gunslinger", not arrogantly just matter of fact and how he baited Pickett to throw the int. He studies his opponents and if you recall, on the draft interview he had notes on all the college receivers he faced, it wasn't marketing ploy, i think it was legit. He came out of Florida , transition from more man and it takes time to master the NFL zone coverages, one of the factors why he had a regular season PFF grade of only 56.7 but then a playoff PFF grade of 87.1. I think Kaiir wins starting CB#2 and I will put the over/under on regular season INTS in 2023 at 4.

Bills-Eagles in Super Bowl. Eagles got so much stronger.

He did but not going to rehash the entire game, just thinking how it ended.

That was a great video. Extremely well done. I am really amazed the Bills/State pulled this off. We do have a world class stadium, who would have ever predicted that, I certainly didn't.

Or maybe for once McKenzie could have dropped the ball to stop the clock instead of being tackled in the field of play.

I should be careful what i writel. I have a key chain with part of the Bills old astro turf encased in plastic

Letting him walk greatly cut down on those tiresome repetitive threads.

Now, I will blame in on McKenzie now that he is gone. Or blame it on Ken Dorsey, especially after his filmed meltdown, a BBMB favorite whipping boy currently.

LOL. That is actually pretty funny. I wonder , if this really happened, if anyone was stupid enough to buy the dirt.

Really, that havent been true super Bowl contenders? Sure about that? Non-sense.

Did Diggs actually say we need a change in leadership, strange how i missed that.

Failed to meet whose expectations? The fans buoyed by excessive positive press the last two years?

That was a question for Gunnerbill but I appreciate the reasoned response. I know where he was drafted, I think he was more upside than many. You have 7 CBs, seems too many, at least one has to go to PS. As Belichek the evil overlord said, you can never have too may cornerbacks, Injuries etc.

Good quality responses, thanks. I wish you would stop being goaded by a certain poser into his/hew negative slants of Elam & the draft, I think we wlll "get it" already. What I would really like you to answer which CBs we cut and/or put on the practice squad. We have some depth now and including even our 7th rd Alex Austin looks intriguing. I think he gets poached from the PS if we try and hide him there. What are your thoughts?

He is a loudmouth drunk with zero real value added insight. Dont waste your time listening.

Expose another sophomoric attempt at a veiled dump on McDermott thread, that is your point/your thread. i think we got it.

Why are you here Chaos? Seriuosly? Do you think have Brady on a hometown discount for two decades had anything to do with the genius of Bliichek?
