OT Jonah Williams in the first
MrEpsYtown replied to Buffalo Barbarian's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I hate it for a lot of reasons. First, if he's going to play right tackle, taking him in the top ten is not getting value. Having an elite right tackle is like putting lipstick on a pig. Second, a lot of people are advocating drafting him to be a left tackle and moving Dawkins to guard. I hate this as well. This feels like drafting a guard in the top ten. The difference between Dawkins and Williams is minimal if anything. I'm not going to replace a guy who has been solid for two years, not perfect, but solid, with a guy who might be solid. I am very much against top ten centers, guards or right tackles. Unless they are Quentin Nelson, Zach Martin, Alex Mack like elite players. Lane Johnson turned out to be elite, but was a risky pick in a crappy draft. Conklin has been very good, but has been hurt a ton and his team still hasn't gone anywhere. Lastly, drafting a left tackle in the top ten makes sense if the guy is elite. Williams really isn't. He projects to be very good, but if you really pay attention, he sounds an awful lot like Luke Joeckel. He's a technician, not a road grader, shorter arms, probably better at guard, struggles with speed rushers etc etc. Being a technician sounds good on paper, not so much when Aaron Donald or Jadeveon Clowney are smashing you in your chest. He's 6-5 301...that is long an lean and many analysts have mentioned that he's likely to weigh in at less than 300 at the draft. That's a problem. Again, I like Jonah Williams and I think he will be a good player, but I do not think he is an elite prospect. I think the idea of having him sounds good on paper, but he has some flaws in his game. This isn't a slam dunk and there is not huge upside here. He's a plug and play, might be solid guy. I want upside with my top 10 pick. Again thats me. I'm an o line guy through and through, but these are my beliefs when it come to the draft.- 149 replies

Miami Dolphins: HC Adam Gase fired (per NFL network)
MrEpsYtown replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep that's what I meant. I actually think there is a chance (albeit a small one) we could lose Leslie Frazier and Daboll. A team that might want an experienced coach to right the ship, Frazier makes some sense. He'd actually make some sense for Cincinnati, Tampa, Arizona. He's very well liked and respected around the league. There has been murmurs about Daboll, for a few years actually. I guess we shall see what happens. -
Cincinnati Bengals: HC Marvin Lewis fired
MrEpsYtown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My true dream is that they hire Rex Ryan, and they are forced to trade Geno Atkins to us, becuase he doesn't fit the defense. -
That's why I love Ike Boettger for his reaction yesterday. He didn't hesitate at all to jump on Kiko. I think it's huge for a UDFA who is finally getting a chance to play to run in there and get on Kiko, no hesitation. Really cool to see that edge. Centers and guard need to be nasty in there. I love it.

MrEpsYtown replied to Steptide's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If Daboll gets a gig, I'd be all over Gase. -
Potential Cut Candidate: Gerald McCoy?
MrEpsYtown replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I appreciate your ambition here, but Harrison did nothing this year. He looked small and overmatched. Neither he or Jordan Phillips are starters. I think a three Tech is a glaring need here. McCoy, Sheldon Richardson, Grady Jarrett, those types of guys should be on the radar for us imo. -
Denver Broncos: HC Vance Joseph fired
MrEpsYtown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Made no sense from the beginning. I wonder if Kubiak steps back in. -

Josh Allen round one, Zach Allen round 2? Allen becomes he new Williams? -
Las Vegas Raiders: Mike Mayock hired as GM
MrEpsYtown replied to MAJBobby's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't care about he Raiders. Does this mean Daniel Jeremiah becomes the main draft guy? I always liked him and his takes. -

Looks like a high motor,, high effort, lunchpail type guy. ? -
2019 NFL Draft: Bills officially picking 9th
MrEpsYtown replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I know it's early in the process, but I do think Haskins goes top ten and I think one other guy depending on things like the senior bowl and combine. Probably Drew Lock. -
SNF: Colts at Titans for the last playoff spot
MrEpsYtown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm just watching Quinton Spain and Mark Glowinski. Both are nasty and would be huge upgrades in free agency. -
Why was Jordan Mills ejected??
MrEpsYtown replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Agreed. I actually thought he held his own. -
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: HC Dirk Koetter fired
MrEpsYtown replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His hiring made no sense in the first place. -
2019 NFL Draft: Bills officially picking 9th
MrEpsYtown replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thînk getting a young veteran is best for Josh Allen. I think we go all in on Mitch Morse. There is the Andy Reid connection and others in our front office connected to KC. He's the perfect fit. I also like the kid from Wisconsin, but a young veteran really takes the pressure off of Allen. I think Paradis goes to the Jets. -
New York Jets: HC Todd Bowles fired
MrEpsYtown replied to Reed83HOF's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Jets fans will hate it. They absolutely hate him from his time there. Which would make it hilarious if the Johnsons go that way. It would be the most Jetsy thing. -

Hopefully the Giants and Jaguars reach on quarterbacks, dropping some talent down. -

Josh Allen territory. The really good defensive tackles and Jonah Williams probably gone at that point. -
Zay Jones: The numbers show that he is a #2.
MrEpsYtown replied to The Bills Blog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not the biggest Zay fan, but I like the way he played today. Made some catches in traffic and got some YAC. Hopefully it's a sign of things to come. -
I thought this was a big deal when I saw hit. Juxtaposed with Preston Brown standing around watching a cheap shot, this rookie UDFA went after Kiko and got some good shots in at the bottom of that pile. That was huge to me and show the character of the team, and how teammates battle for Josh. Bravo Ike Boettger. Little nasty streak in him and Teller that I like a lot.

Man I forgot about Duke Williams. That guy sucked.

First half thread: Wk 17 Dolphins at Bills (CBS)
MrEpsYtown replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Miami is dumb. They should be running the ball and giving it to Drake every play. I'll take it though. -

He's been a non factor. I think he's done here. -
