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. -

Kyle Williams was overrated imo...
MrEpsYtown replied to BuffaloBud420's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Is this the same guy who posted "I think Patriots deserve 1 more championship." Feel eerily similar. -
Offensive tackles that high in the draft better be a sure thing, better be elite, and better not be right tackles.

Zay Jones: The numbers show that he is a #2.
MrEpsYtown replied to The Bills Blog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He's not worth the drops. If he doesn't fix that, he will be out of the league. Guys like TO dropped the ball a lot, but you could deal with it becuase he made game breaking a plays. A guy with 50 catches is just not worth it. Also he isn't making any contested catches at all and has made a good amount of catches in garbage time. I want to trade him the the Chargers for Forrest Lamp...disappointing second round pick for disappointing second round pick. -
The three techs at the top of this draft are game breakers. This was already the most likely course of action in my opinion. Harrison Phillips has been pretty disappointing. He is not the answer. Passing on one of these defensive guys to take a so so left tackle or reaching on a reciever is the worst way to run a draft.

DeSean Jackson ready to leave the Bucs
MrEpsYtown replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Honestly, I've never been fond of having him here, but with Josh Allen it makes sense. Especially if we are keeping Shady, becuase that's his boy. Basically sell him on the quarterback who can throw if farther than anyone else. -
Bills offensive talent trade value.
MrEpsYtown replied to PlayoffsPlease's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Eh Danny Crossman would waste him anyways. -
He's just so slow. One of the slowest linebackers in the league. And I will always hate him for not defending his teammates and saying he wants to join the Patriots. He is not welcome back here. Some Bills fans had an irrational love for him. He is a JAG and I'd argue that Stanford is better with a much higher athletic upside. Brown will sit out on the open market forever. Last year he sat on the open market forever, and there were no great linebackers available and he was coming off a good year. Now he's coming off an injury and there are a whole bunch of free agent inside linebackers available who are 100 times better than Brown. Jordan Hicks, CJ Mosley, Denzel Perryman, Kwon Alexander, Jake Ryan, Craig Robertson, Manti Teo. I wouldn't be surprised if he is out of the league next year.

I'd offer Zay Jones to the Chargers for Forrest Lamp and a late pick. Phil McGeoghan can get his boy back and the Chargers get a reciever to replace Tyrell Williams. Zay and and Lamp are both disappointing second round picks. Chargers throw in a late pick becuase Lamp hasn't actually played yet so they are getting the more know commodity. -
Tremaine was an inside linebacker at Virginia Tech. He wasn't a 4-3 Mike like he is now, but he was playing on the inside so he really was never moved. I've seen this suggested a bit the last few weeks and I just don't think it makes any sense. If Kuechly came aboard, well ***** yeah it makes sense. It made sense to maybe make him a Sam and ease him into Mike to start, but i don't think it makes sense at this point. I like Josh Allen as a Lorax replacement. He gives us a better base defense and can rush the passer in the nickel downs. You get better at two level of the defense with one guy. You also get the chance to stay in base more if you want becuase Allen can be very good in coverage as well...a poor mans Khalil Mack if you will. But yes agreed that Tremaine played terrible today. His fits were very poor, but I think the upside is too great to give up on it at this point. The potential is still there, but he does need a ton of work. Bob Babich was huge for Urlacher's development (who was actually benched as a rookie before he blew up later that year) so I feel like Babich is the right guy to work with Tremaine. Gotta keep the faith! It seems that scout is implying that Tremaine lacks the rare instincts to make calls and have the green dot and stuff as a 20 year old. Those are instincts to make checks and line calls and all that jazz. The scouting reports don't say that he lacks instincts in his play, but that his technique is poor and gap discipline is poor, which is what I have seen. How can we as viewers really judge his "lack of instincts?"

[Name Only Title] Wyatt Teller?
MrEpsYtown replied to Dave Allen's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm pretty sure Teller and Boettger were in there together the last series or two. I might be wrong. -
That PFW article is pretty interesting. This seems pretty much on point: Downside: Gap integrity looks like that of a 19-year old. Will take the wrong gap and watch runners go where he should have been. Eyes get too big — gets greedy and will overplay the ball. Takes on blockers at poor angles and gets cleaned out of plays. Has to key better on OL movement and diagnose run plays just a hair faster. Doesn’t use his hands well enough at this point to stack and shed interior OL blocks. Can get blown up by crack-back blocks — must do better job of keeping head on a swivel. So I wonder, are Tremaine's issues really about instincts or more about technique? I think it's more about technique and strength. I still go back to Mike Mayock saying that there is no comparison because he's never really seen a prospect like Tremaine. I think he will blow up next year, but this team has put a lot on his plate. There is no doubt that he needs to work on his technique more than anything and needs to get stronger. I thought this this quote from the PFW article was pretty telling as well: Quotable: “We were doing a little research on the ages of prospects, and we found that most [20-year olds who] go that high were [offensive and defensive] linemen and some receivers. We couldn’t really find too many linebackers that age that high. Raekwon [McMillan] was a 2. Terrell Suggs was a high 1, but they had him rushing the passer, not lining guys up. I don’t know if you give [Edmunds] a green dot [the helmet with the communication to a defensive coordinator] Day 1. That’s a lot to ask of any rookie, especially a guy that young. He just doesn't have the rare instincts to do that. I would never put that on the kid. He needs time. But he can play. Wouldn’t shock me if he ends up one of the five or six best [non-quarterbacks] in this class when we look back.” — NFC national scout Thats pretty much exactly what our team has asked Tremaine to do.

I think the "move Edmunds to OLB" idea is kind of tired. We spend the majority of the game in a nickel defense, which would be he and Milano anyway. 90% of the fits and things would be the same as they are now regardless of calling him a SAM in base. Also your SAM backer in base defenses has to often jam tight ends and have a really strong punch, which is not something's Edmunds seems to do well. Draft Josh Allen and stick him there and get some functional depth. Edmunds played terrible, but he will be better. During draft time everyone talked about how great his instincts were. He's playing soft and needs some strength. We wound up in base a lot because the Pats forced us into it. They came out with a tight end and a fullback a ton which is why we saw so much Corey Thompson. The Lions playing 3 wide looks played into our hands last week. It was smart of the Pats to force us into base, forcing us to play Thompson and taking advantage of him, as Raphael Bush is a much better player. We should have signed Marquis Flowers a couple of weeks ago instead of assuming Corey Thompson was going to be okay. The Pats took advantage of this.
