Like Von just said, Aaron is Aaron and Ed is Ed. Ed will make his own mark and no need to compare the 2.

Von Miller and Ed Oliver are going to get this D fired up this season. It's going to start with the DL and meet back to the 2 Safeties who are always fired up. My anticipation can't be contained for the Rams game.

Tough break for the lad. I was hoping with enough improvement he could become a primary call up from the PS.

See the deal is you have literally no idea of what Bills fans have suffered through with the drought and NE Dynasty. You'll get sympathy from some Bills fans when you lose twice to the Bills every year and finally make the playoffs again in 2039. 2039. Don't overreact and reply too quickly. Read carefully what I posted and let it sink in.

Oh yeah. There should be a poll each week for the craziest GDT post. Last season I couldn't make it to halftime of most games. "Tweener" girls have more self-control than some of those fans.

You'd win that bet in the 1st preseason gameday thread.

Aaron in January.

I don't like talking about mine. It still needs a little work.

Yep. D is still important and especially in the playoffs. Sure, you need a potent offense but come on, they can't bank on scoring constantly. One extra stop let's say by a Mahomes sack on 3rd down and the Bills go back to Orchard Park for the AFCCG. They have to get QB sacks and force quicker throws. What's funny they both were saying that last year.

They won't listen. If the Bills Offense can repeat last year's performance and the DL can apply some QB pressure and hold the Henry's of the league to reasonable yardage they will have the formula for a Superbowl run.

Your right. I keep forgetting they include the Edge Rushers in LB instead of DE. Truthfully it hurts the "classic" linebackers if you ask me. I went back and crossed out that statement.

I don't think so. If anyone I guess maybe Edmunds. If they did that it would be to get his replacement ready. I think Beane is pretty straight with his thoughts, and I get the feeling he doesn't like having to use them.

Spotrac has the Bills over next year's cap by $12M with them already adding $10M to this year's cap. Cap is probably going up more than that but by how much Beane and the other GMs know better than us. Bills won't be carrying over anything significant into 2023 from this year. Even though they show 55 players (59 but 4 are voids) next year a whole bunch of those guys won't be on the team by cutdown and Beane will have to restructure some contracts just to get the other depth players signed or replaced from this year's players. Ed Oliver is already on his 5th year option, so it won't get done until next season (probably in the summer). Knox is the first to get the decision after the season is up. I think he signs a fairly decent contract for both sides. Poyer is going to want longer terms and more money than Beane can afford, I think he walks in FA. Singletary will be testing the market and probably get what he wants and moves on. Then again, if he doesn't get the money he may stay. It's hard to estimate the RB UFA market. I truly have no idea what will happen with Edmunds. They would want to keep him, but I think he is the guy that will depend on where the cap is going.

That's a good point. Josh has also said that just hearing a different voice in the helmet is strange. A few drives in preseason is ok with me.

The Bills did underperform too many times last year. Then they went to KC and lost again. Players (and coaches) know last year's KC game would have been a win at home. The whole "take one game at a time" thing is going to ring true this year with the Bills and the goal is the #1 Seed in the AFC.

The Dolphin player must be so proud to play for this organization. I'd love to hear what their true thoughts are. I hope Tua wins them enough games to keep them out of the QB drafts and walks away after next season.

The real problem the way I see it is, people can't tell the difference or even worse they refuse to care that there is one.

From one "horse's ass" to another, Happy birthday Marv!

To be fair the Bills have spent a lot of resources on the DL and some of them did not pan out so well. Where I get confused is what was Beane to do? Should he abandon the problem of not getting pressure on the QB and stuffing the run because of what happened in the past? Does he say to the team "We can't figure this problem out so I'm going to ignore it and put all my resources into the offense? No, he is trying his best to balance the resources and fixing the DL at the same time. It sure is not easy, but I think this group of D-Linemen may be the answer. If so, it is a great balance of young players and mid-aged vets and Von Miller. The cap could work out fairly well with these guys too. The secondary with regards to the CBs may be in good shape for the next couple of years and the Ss are the only real question going forward. With Milano set and only 1 other LB starter needed, even if they move on from TE they may already have a replacement on the team. If all this can be achieved for the D, I have hope that a larger share of resources can go into the Offense in the next 2 years. I don't claim to know Beane's and McDermott's thoughts on this, but I can reasonably assume it's a definite possibility. They are not going to come out and say exactly what their plan is going forward, so the best I can do is an educated guess.

FWIW Spotrac has his value at $5.2M per on a 3-year deal. I think with another decent year that's pretty close.

Now that I caught up on this thread about the Bills 6th rounder who is showing good things in camp, I find your post very interesting. Would be great if some camp followers looked into this. Well done!

Same here. Especially someone whom Kromer has experience with.

Get well soon Jordan.
