Sorry, but he is not one of the top RT's in the NFL. His run blocking is passable and his pass protection sucks. He's average at best. Beane made a big mistake signing Lotulelei to a long term contract. This is his 2nd big mistake. I don't like this move at all.

Calling it now: You're all about to witness the arrival of Shakir
GreggTX replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
We already did last year. It's just that the national media didn't notice. Check the ridiculously low player ratings for Kincaid and Shakir in Madden 25 and you'll see what I mean. -
Forget the first 2 days for the moment. Can you recall any team having a better day 3 or 4 (UDFAs and invites) than Beane put together this year? Granted, it's too soon to know the final results, but I think several of these guys fron Davis to Andreesson have a real shot at becoming excellent starters. On top of that, we've got very good draft capital for next year and we will have plenty of FA money to spend. To me, when you say the Bills' window is closed, what you're really saying is that you have no faith in Beane. Sure he's had some misses, but he's had far more hits. What do you think?

Who was your all-time favorite player that was NOT on the Bills?
GreggTX replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall
As a group, I liked the Vikings' Purple People Eaters. Others include Dick Butkus and Joe Namath. On the Bills, Robert James and Kyle Williams. Also gotta give props to Brady. I know a lot of Bills fans hated on him, but he was the GOAT. Respect. -
He's an ok run blocker and a poor pass protector. I hope we prioritize the RT when his rookie contract expires. We would be better off to move on. We can do much better.

1. Edge (if Von can't do it any more) 2. WR (if Keon isn't a #1) 3. OL I love watching a dominant OL. I'm not saying our OL is the worst, but I think Josh's mobility has as much or more to do with our low sack numbers as the blocking. Remember how much better our OL looked with Flutie under C rather than Rob Johnson? Also, I may be alone on this, but I really enjoy watching a great run game. It's so demoralizing to a defense when they get pounded all day and they have no answer. I'm guessing that Beane trades up nexr draft to snag a potentially elite Edge rusher. Just a hunch.

Vikings 4th round rookie, Khyree Jackson dies
GreggTX replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
Wow! I know these things happen, but it's sad all the same. His career was just getting underway. -
Lofton, hands down. I wonder about some of those old timers, though. I remember Briscoe - Lewis. Dubenion, Bass, Chandler. I wonder how they would have fared with today's reciever-friendly rules. It's like they were playing with one hand tied behind their back. Crackback blocks, clothesline tackles, headslaps, etc. It's such a different game today.
-
I think Milano should be on that list, but I don't think Ed Oliver is a top 100 caliber player. He's OK but nowhere near elite. Maybe Taron Johnson should be there too.

Matt Parrino - "Claypool has been most consistent WR during OTAs"
GreggTX replied to HappyDays's topic in The Stadium Wall
Time will tell. We know he has the ability because he's done it before . Maybe he realizes this is his last shot and the light has come on. I don't know what to expect, but I'd love to see a very motivated Chase Claypool. Let's hope for the best. -
What to do with the post June $10 M that will be available
GreggTX replied to Magox's topic in The Stadium Wall
OT and 1-Tech depth. I'm not sure if we are going to get a big year from Von either. I wouldn't mind more competition at CB and both Rapp and Edwards are average NFL safeties. Bishop is a rookie as is Coleman. I'm not saying our rookies aren't going to be good, but how soon? I guess we'll see how things progress this Summer. Injury (Knock on wood) may force our hand. Our defense has been decimated by injuries lately. I'm of the opinion that we could have won the SB had Von, Milano and White been 100% or close to it. 3 points we got bounced by. Those 3 could easily made that difference and more. I guess what I really want is a difference maker rather than several depth caliber guys. -
Kaiir Elam discussing the last 2 years & his struggles...
GreggTX replied to BigDingus's topic in The Stadium Wall
I remember Tra'Davious was kinda grabby his rookie year. Kaiir just needs to trust in his ability to recover if he makes a false step. His speed and acccelaration are up to the task. He also needs quicker reaction time and some ability to anticipate for things like jumping routes when we blitz, etc. I too am waiting for the game to slow down for him. -
Feel free to wait as long as you need. We can wait. Seriously though, why wait? Everybody knows it's just a semi-educated guess at this point. I promise I won't crucify you if you guess wrong. Go on.
-
I think you're right about this year, but maybe they make another splash at WR. Much depends on Keon, Kahlil and Kincaid. We know what we have in Samuels and MVS. They are average NFL WR's with good but not great speed. They aren't exactly rookies either.
-
This will probably surprise you, but he's one of the best FB's in the NFL. The 49'ers Juszcyk is in a class all his own though and it's not even close.
-
Offense: Torrance. There's nowhere to go but up. He'll learn to compensate for his lack of agility to improve his pass protection. Defense: Dorian Williams. Very fast. Good tackler. The light will come on. I was going to say Kincaid, but he's already great. The Madden raters just haven't figured it out yet. Same with Bernard.

CJ Spiller up the middle all day! What more do you need to know?

Is it time to grow concerned about Greg Rousseau?
GreggTX replied to FireChans's topic in The Stadium Wall
No. He's clearly in the top 20% at his position. Worry about players that aren't good, not the ones that are. Be honest. You really only care about his sacks and you're discounting what he does well. -
Overpaid. We made that same mistake with Star Lotulelei.
-
How is this a serious question. Once he was finally given the opportunity, he broke out in a big way.He'll have many more opportunities this year. I'll be amazed if he doesn't have a big year unless he gets hurt (knock on wood).
-
I do expect a bit of a dropoff, but I like this rookie class and we are set up for an even better draft next year. Our day is coming.
-
Pffffft! I can't believe all the crybabies in here. Keon has taken 0 snaps in a professional setting. He'll get plenty of training on his route running. He says he's run a 4.56. That's better than DHop (4.57s) or TO (4.65s). So you'd rather compare him to KB than those 2? Really?

This Will Be The Make Or Break Year For This Regime
GreggTX replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall
The Bills are reloading the roster. I'd be amazed if Pegula did something so incredibly dumb. They said all this same nonsense about Andy Reid in Philadelphia. I'm sure TP knew the plan and supported it. Do you really think he'd go back on his word? No good HC or GM would ever want to work for him again. Besides, the REAL reason we didn't win the SB this year was injuries. McDermott deserves praise for what he was able to do. Give him a healthy D without losing his best pass rusher (Von), run stuffer (Jones), CB (White) and LB (Milano). Let KC deal with that extreme level of injuries and then let's see who the better team is.
