World class athlete can't lay out?

We should be rejoicing, Allen poyer Hyde Milano Knox bass all playing with a chip on their shoulder rest of season? I'm all for it. Though Josh is statisticly better than lamar in so many categories, and lamars backup just brought life back to a lame duck offense but ya send him to the pro bowl cuz has a few cool runs every few weeks.

Don't get me wrong I wouldn't want to pay him lol. But that's what they did last year and they made play offs.

Not to mention defenses don't have film on Huntley yet. Look at what defenses have done to lamar now that they have studied him. And the injuries to the running game really hurts lamar. When the ravens have an established run game lamar is good. I dont think it's even a question for the ravens. Build a solid run game and defense around lamar and don't ask him to win with his arm. And let him do freak athlete things. They have no choice but to pay him.

I agree we don't run enough for a rotation to matter. If anything we keep our rbs out of a rhythm. I have always firmly against drafting any rb in the 1st but after this year I could be convinced. The good news is all the way too early mock drafts and rankings are showing almost all rbs falling into the 2nd or later.

1. Drops from TE continue to hurt us. Against a better team, that could have been the deciding factor like it has before. 2. I'll have to check but i think we got excellent feild position 2 times and turned them into quick 3 and outs. 3. It wasn't pretty at times, but we put the dagger in late and we've had difficulty doing that before, so it was good to see us finally shut the door against a great defense

Not to mention the drop by Sweeney was huge, and davis could have dove for that deep ball. Another game where a few times guys could have picked up allen and changed momentum of the game.

Annnd that's why we aren't #1 seed. Amazing feild position, barely burn clock, give pathers good feild position. Not liking the conservative grind the clock play calling.

Need to put the dagger in here

If he can't bat the ball down, its never successful. Even when he get home he's misses with an arm tackle.

Sweeney really wants to be on this roster.

Dallas Knox lol. Vilma can't say knoxs name right all day

Agreed, relying on star is not an option anymore. 1 tech is too important to our LB success. Phillips has shown improvement but he's not the guy. The edmunds replacement is tricky, do we wait until edmunds walks and put an unproven rookie on the feild? Or get one this draft and let him learn and rotate in and fill in for injuries to see how he does? I'd prefer the latter but I think your right, they will draft his replacement when he's gone or resign edmunds. I think with the Etienne rumors (true or not) and the production we've had at rb I have a weird feeling beane goes premium for RB this year. But that being said we can afford to sign a great FA RB, but we can't afford a great 1 tech FA. So drafting premium at 1 tech definitely makes more fiscal sense.

Unfortunately I don't think moss is tradeable. Not for anything meaningful at least. I do not like the idea of using first 2 picks on an rb. I'd personally like to see guard, LB, cb, 1 tech or a big bodied reciever. I could be convinced for a great talent at rb in the 3rd, especially speed and good hands.

Supporting cast does matter, look how edmunds looked last year without Milano. The pff data is interesting, I knew edmunds looked better this year than last year. But pff lost me when they gave cody ford a decent grade against the jags, pff didn't take into account ford was getting away with holding damn near every play and josh was dipping out of the pocket immediately lol

Parsons has power, sheds blockers really well, and has good rush moves. Edmunds gets alot of hate, sometimes undeserved but there's no arguing he is below average at shedding blockers or putting a move on a pass blocker. He is only a successful Blitzer when he has a free lane and can use his speed to close on the qb. But even then how many missed arm tackles on athletic qbs have we seen from him? Seeing how we've seen how they use Klein to blitz and be successful tells me that mcd and Frazier know what Edmunds abilities are.

I think there is truth to this. I think the bills thought he would be there, and still get Boogie. But I'm always ok with not taking a rb in the first.

I think the bills shot themselves in the foot not drafting a LB this year. Not saying we needed to spend a 1 on a LB but now we are in a tough position. Klein has played well but he's not our future. No matter what edmunds will get a good contract, either from us or someone else. We don't have the cap to pay another good but not great player an oversized contract (look at what we paid klein alone). But what do we do now? Do you pay up with little cap we have for a quality FA, when we have huge needs else where? Do we let edmunds walk and put your faith in an unproven rookie? I have a feeling bills make a deal with edmunds.

Watching roquan Smith come through gaps and punish RBs.... if only

I dont think he comes cheap, he has always had good tackle numbers. I think if we don't another team would over pay for him.

Honestly not really a conspiracy at this point. He trys to arm tackle everything

This. He does get more hate than he deserves sometimes. But I feel like I find myself yelling at my tv "shed a block edmunds!" Alot.

I agree, I'm not a fan of him at all but ill give him that he's an ok LB. But I think the 3rd and short play is gonna be his entire career, we needed a big play in a big moment, free gap, face to face with fournette, need a stop for loss, misses with the arm tackle, bucs get the 1st, bills loss the game. I think that's always gonna be edmunds.

On the bright side we saw a franchise QB in a Bills uniform tonight

Because he missed on the arm tackle and rolled off the side of fournette
