Blank Stare

Let’s go!!!!! (Now get him out)

I think Wallace is a UFA after this year, isn’t he?

Dane is a willing tackler. Heckuva job.

I’d like to see a few more quick hitters to get Josh the record and get him the hell out of there.

What a punt!

Dudes need to take a deep breath and relax on here. Did we forget Miami is the one that must win?

That’s exactly what it feels like to me. Can’t play tentative.

Exactly what you don’t want to see. But someone has to play.

Looks like a pick to me

Let’s go boys!!!

Honestly, I forgot about Phillips and Johnson and agree they should stay since they are still on their rookie deals. I think Epenesa will improve as he gets used to the game and learns to play at his lighter weight. We are definitely creating pressure, but for a defense that would be so much better with a stout front 4 that could get to the QB without bringing corners, LBs, and safeties as much as we do, I think we need more out of our d-ends. Especially for the money Hughes and Addison are getting. That would be where I’d spend my first round pick this year if the right guy is there at 32. Then come back around and grab another pass rusher in the 3rd or 4th round.

No, they didn’t. Go compare Zay’s college production to TJ Graham’s. Most people universally considered Zay a second round prospect. Plus his college coach was here in McD’s ear. Sometimes guys don’t work out, but comparing Zay to Graham is ridiculous.

I’d RE-up both Williams and Milano and get rid of (or restructure) everyone on the current D-line except Jefferson, Oliver, and Epenesa. Addison and Butler were essentially 1 year deals. Hughes I think has an out too (could be wrong). Star I think has to come back for at least one more year until there is an out. Then I’d just go heavy D-line in the draft. We’ve needed some young cats in there for a long time, and I think it’s an easier position group for rookies to come in and make an impact.

I know it’s a sore subject that’s been discussed many times before around these parts, but it’s just so refreshing to have this regime and their approach to the draft. I don’t see McBeane wasting premium draft picks by choosing many TJ Graham types.

There are a lot of us “Process” guys running around here, so I don’t think it was me you were replying to. Nevertheless, good post and I don’t disagree with your take. Makes sense.

I guess we’ll never know. Lol. But, he’s no Gabriel Davis. Honestly, I never understood what they saw in TJ Graham to not only draft him, but move up to do it. Sure, some of that is hindsight, but he wasn’t setting college football ablaze statistically and he wasn’t a very fluid athlete. He was slight of frame, didn’t have good hands, and didn’t seem to be the high football IQ type either. Only having straight line speed with little else was a reach and giant waste of a 3rd rd pick. But, anyway, I digress.

Sucks the Covid protocol strings this out. Would’ve loved for them to make this decision a week or 2 ago to get him in here learning the offense. Maybe get some run this week. If he’s “maybe” cleared to start practicing next week, are we really going to use him and make him active on game day? I guess if we only ask him to do a couple things it might work with his speed. Also, if he signs a 1 year deal with us, is it really only a playoff deal vs. a true 1 year? In other words, will he be a FA this spring? I seem to recall Kelvin Benjamin signing with the Chiefs late in the year a few seasons ago on a 1 year deal and he became a FA that year (that no one wanted 😯). Could be wrong on that though.

If you would’ve told me before the season started that Smoke (our de facto 2019 #1 receiver) would’ve missed 5 games and been banged up for a few others where he clearly wasn’t himself, and we still win 12 (possibly 13) games, I wouldn’t have believed it likely. Josh loves Smoke and has a great bond/relationship/chemistry with him. Yes, I know Diggs has been a huge part of filling that void, but in a shortened off season with limited reps, it really goes to show you how incredible Josh Allen has been this year. Also a testament to the other receivers like Beasley and Davis stepping up.

Oh, I 100% agree that his blocking has been a pleasant surprise. None more evident than plays like that. But, for the playoffs, where every possession matters, I’m taking the 4.2/4.3 guy to stretch the defense and be a threat to score on a flick of Josh Allen’s wrist. Gilliam is definitely a nice piece moving forward though. Reminds me a little of a young Charles Clay. A “do everything” sort of guy.

I don’t know the IR rules for the playoffs, but I was more referring to the season ending variety. I don’t see Gilliam as a huge loss for the rest of the year in comparison to the stress Stills would put on the defense in the passing game.

Wonder if Gilliam ends up on IR if they bring in Stills. Knee and hamstring + his inexperience seem to make him a prime candidate for freeing up a spot on the 53.

Man. Tough crowd RE: Gabriel Davis. Once upon a time it was commonly accepted/expected that rookie receivers take time to develop. Is he a world beater? Not yet. And he may never be. But his production thus far as a rookie, while he’s learning the pro game, has been welcome. They didn’t even ask him to run the full route tree in college. I expect his route running precision and knowledge of what works best for creating separation from NFL DBs to improve the more he’s hanging around Diggs, Smoke, and Beasley. Let’s give him a little leash before we cast him aside into TJ Graham land.

It’s well documented we lost 4 straight Super Bowls. But you’re killing our buzz dude. Enjoy the ride, wherever we end up.

Nut-cutting time should definitely be the next one from 26 shirts.
