Great blocking Mills. Does McCoy have any positive runs? So many third and longs. -

Is Preston Brown our new Paul Posluszny?
Maine-iac replied to HerdMenatlity1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
From his rookie year. I don't think he did well in Rex's system but who did? Preston Brown was drafted in the third round out of Louisville in 2014 and was expected to be a backup behind the starting trio of Kiko Alonso, Brandon Spikes, and Nigel Bradham. A season-ending injury to Alonso, however, meant he was pushed into the starting lineup sooner than expected and tallied 94% of the team’s defensive snaps on the year, the highest percentage on the Bills’ defense. Grading out 15th overall among 4-3 outside linebackers, Brown’s season mark of +3.9 was held down by a pair of poor performances. Looking past those two games (Week 1 and Week 16, both ends of the season, understandable for a rookie), Brown notched a +11.5 grade over the other 14 contests. There are two clear strengths to Brown’s game: the first is as a coverage defender and the second as a pure tackler. Posting impressive numbers when in coverage, he allowed just 0.57 yards per coverage snap, which was third-best for all off-ball linebackers and his +3.6 coverage grade came in 11th among all 4-3 OLBs and ILBs combined. The moments he showed some struggle in coverage were nearly all down to over-aggressiveness in reacting up to the run first and having trouble getting back to find his zone. Certainly a fixable issue. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/secret-superstar-buffalo-bills All of this said, I thought that Ragland had his job until the injury. He seems solid but replaceable. I don't think we have his replacement now. -

I hope they are careful. McDermott seems great at drawing up coverage. That said I remember the days with Schobel and Denney and all the other undersized misfits and getting destroyed week after week. We already have issues stopping the run. Brown might not be great in coverage like Keuchly and Keuchly is a really good LB but I still like Brown. -

Maine-iac replied to HerdMenatlity1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just my opinion. I stand by it though. In the right system I'm sure he makes a ton of tackles but he's not going to knock guys down. Actually looking at it they are 21 in giving up yards and giving up almost 25 ppg. I don't know the Redskins enough to speak to why they are horrible on defense but that doesn't speak well to how good Brown is. -

I think they were right when they said Poz was a chaser. So was Zach Brown. Great numbers but tackling everyone 5 yards down the field. Brown will blow up the rb behind the line of scrimmage twice as much as either of those guys. Poz and Zach might have a touch more speed, maybe a little more coverage ability but in a zone scheme and wanting someone who can stick his nose in there and make a tackle I'd take Preston. -
Romo is carrying Brady's jock again today. I have to suffer through a lot of Patriots games. I've seen enough Brady to know he's not as accurate as he used to be and that Pats defense is not the same without Hightower. Lucky for the Pats the competition is pretty weak this year. Romo's still talking him up like every miss is on purpose and the greatest throw ever.

Matt Milano graded out among top rookie LB's
Maine-iac replied to SaviorPeterman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Humber played better than expected. I'll give him that. Literally from the second Milano got on the field he was making plays. He should have never gone back to the bench. https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-refocused-cincinnati-bengals-20-buffalo-bills-16 https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-refocused-buffalo-bills-30-tampa-bay-buccaneers-27 https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-refocused-buffalo-bills-34-oakland-raiders-14 The Buffalo Bills improved their home record to 4-0 on the season with their 34-14 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Overcoming several injuries on the defensive side of the ball, the Bills forced four Oakland turnovers, including a Matt Milano scoop-and-score before the end of the first half. -
Rodak: Bills Remain Confident in Zay Jones
Maine-iac replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In all honesty the great difference in minds, offensive or defensive, is how fast they see the solutions and make the changes that produce. From a personel standpoint Milano and Thompson are two players that stepped on the field and produced yet still took 4 or 5 games to move ahead of their far less productive rivals at their positions. From a play calling perspective Dennison took way to long to start calling plays that work for his players and then in a game to game break down it wouldn't be a stretch to say Dennison might be the worst screen game coach that has ever called a game. Chan Gailey would have McCoy putting up old Marshal Faulk numbers. McVay is just much much faster at producing offense. Luckily for him he has Phillips to take care of the defense and that has been Buffalo's failure time and time again. Fix one side of the ball and neglect the other and it usually starts with coaching. -
Rodak: Bills Remain Confident in Zay Jones
Maine-iac replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In the 15 games in which LeSean McCoy, Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods and Charles Clay were all on the field, Taylor has a 64-percent completion rate, throwing for 3,362 yards for 26 touchdowns and just six interceptions. In the 14 games in which one of those players weren’t available, Taylor’s numbers sunk, as he completed just 61.2-percent of his passes for 2,697 yards, throwing only 11 touchdowns and six interceptions. My comment would be that it seems like maybe he needs a decent receiver to throw to. -

Kelly generally completed between 270 and 300 passes a season with Thomas catching between roughly 50 to 60. -

Maine-iac replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The WR's get worse and worse so he's throwing to the rb's more and that doesn't make sense because? -
I defend the crap out of him but tell me you can bring in Drew Brees and I'd buy Taylor's bus ticket. We aren't bringing in Drew Brees. No guarantee in drafting someone. I'd do it anyways. I wouldn't however burn my bridge until I've crossed it. We could be a good team. We could be a good team with Taylor. Now if we become that good team and actually draft that "franchise" guy. Sky is the limit.

That's where you are wrong. I am not the one saying anyone is better. I was simply replying to someone who was commenting on my avatar. I don't have to make a case for Taylor being better than Spikes. I don't care. I can however comment that Spike in no way accomplished one damn thing while he was here. So if you are going to throw stones you probably should not live in a glass house.

I thought White broke out with Redman? The old Baltimore backup. No kidding ........... looked it up :). Forgot Harrington was even there. I remember the Mon. night game. Redman was throwing.
