  1. He's been particularly disappointing these last two games and his PFF grade is lower than usual this year, but he's on pace to pretty much duplicate exactly his production of the past two years again this year. Basically the same number of touches, yards, and TDs three years in a row.
  2. I'll defer to others on the O-Line guys as that's just not my specialty at all, but as far as targets at other positions go: RB: Malcolm Brown - He's played a minor role behind Todd Gurley, but he's been awesome when he's on the field. There are 60 RBs in the league that have played at least 25% of their team's snaps this year. Brown is not one of them, but if you add him to the list, he's 8th best in the league in terms of Avoided Tackles Per Attempt. He would not be Buffalo's home run hitter, but he can be the north-south powerful runner that seems to mesh with what Daboll likes. Alex Collins - He'd fill the same role as Brown. He broke out last year with the Ravens when he ranked as one of the top 5-10 RBs in the league per PFF, but had a disappointing and injury-plagued 2018 season which could drive his price down dramatically. Tevin Coleman - Coleman would be the guy if we look to add a home run hitter at RB in free agency. I'm guessing he gets somewhere around 4 years, $30 million when it's all said and done. I wouldn't bother spending that kind of money unless Buffalo decides to move on from McCoy (which I personally think would be wise but I'm not sure how McBeane feel about that). WR: Quincy Enunwa - I concur with the OP; Enunwa would be my #1 target as far as the FA WRs go. He's a good, tough WR. Ranks 4th in the NFL in YAC per reception and he works the field shorter than anyone on the Bills roster does (though I do think Zay could potentially be the underneath guy as that's mainly how he was used in college). Tyrell Williams/Adam Humphries - These two couldn't be more different as football players, but I'm lumping them together because I think they're two guys that are worth pursuing, but I think will ultimately get more money than I'd be comfortable with. Tyrell has played with Rivers for four years now on a team that's never really had great receiving talent (with the exception of Keenan Allen, who has struggled to stay healthy), but Tyrell has never really been able to grasp a major role in any way. Just seems like something is missing with him. Humphries isn't really special, but he's quick in and out of cuts and knows how to find holes in zones and how to work his way to the ball at angles that create YAC opportunities (i.e. how to position himself when catching a screen pass so that he's already setting his blocks up as he's catching the ball). I think he'd be a tremendous fit here, but he's been blowing up these past 5 games and might end up getting someone to pay him a lot more money than he's worth. If he can be had for roughly $5 million per year, I'd take him. Chris Conley/Breshad Perriman/JJ Nelson - I lump these three together as guys that I'd be willing to give small contracts to just to see if you can strike gold on one of them putting things together. All three are athletic as hell but have yet to carve out a significant role in the NFL (or in Perriman's case, any role whatsoever). Edit: I think it's worth noting that Tampa Bay has FOUR WRs in the top 33 on PFF's rankings, and I think two of them will be free agents this offseason (Humphries and I think they end up cutting DeSean Jackson). TE: Maxx Williams - 2nd round pick a few years ago when he was compared to Jeremy Shockey, currently rated the #19 TE on PFF (#20 pass catcher, #24 run blocker, #19 pass blocker). I don't expect Baltimore to bring him back as they drafted two TEs pretty early this year and his snaps per game have significantly declined the past three weeks. CB: EJ Gaines - You guys probably know who he is.
  3. It could end up not happening, but the expectation in Tampa is that they'll sign Kwon to an extension. They want to lock him and LT Donovan Smith up long-term.
  4. https://theathletic.com/692947/2018/12/04/what-we-saw-from-josh-allen-against-the-dolphins-that-the-numbers-didnt-show/
  5. He was. Plan is to finish the NFL season and then go to San Diego for AAF. Pretty hilarious that Gruden said they wouldn’t sign Kaepernick because they needed someone with a similar skill set to Sanchez and then they basically signed a much worse version of Kaepernick.
  6. Regarding McCoy, he’s ranked 47th out of 62 qualifying RBs, so pretty damn bad considering he’s like the 2nd highest paid RB in the league.
  7. Edit: Complete group of WRs that accepted their invites: Still more WRs to reveal, but all four of the WRs that are currently listed as having accepted Senior Bowl Invites are interesting to me (guys I'm particularly interested in in bold): Tyre Brady - Marshall Anthony Johnson - Buffalo Andy Isabella - UMass Alex Wesley - Northern Colorado Deebo Samuel - South Carolina Emanuel Hall - Missouri Travis Fulgham - Old Dominion Jalen Hurd - Baylor David Sills - West Virginia Hunter Renfrow - Clemson Jaylen Smith - Louisville
  8. Yep. I would love to see them pick up one of these guys. Fountain would be my first choice. It seems to me that they do not intend to add a new WR though.
  9. As others have mentioned, when the ball is traveling that much distance, it's rarely going to be perfect. A little less from Allen and Foster gets his hands on it. I also think Foster could have taken a slightly better angle to potentially get to that ball as well; had he adjusted and moved a little more towards his outside shoulder, he essentially would have given himself slightly more time to make up the distance on the throw (which ended up coming down on his outside should anyways).
  10. My understanding is that they only have one more roster spot available right now and probably need a center. So I'd imagine that (unless they cut other guys as well, which is possible), it's: Zay Jones Robert Foster Isaiah McKenzie Deonte Thompson Ray Ray McCloud
  11. Used their roster spots to add another pass rusher and corner; Mike Love and Denzel Rice from the practice squad.
  12. Matt Miller's new mock: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2808985-2019-nfl-mock-draft-matt-millers-latest-picks-entering-final-month-of-season
  13. You don't need to use the savings on another pass-rusher. Buffalo has like 10 draft picks that can be used while spending that $5 million on another much-needed position. Murphy currently rates as the 75th best edge defender out of 107 that qualify per PFF. There are 6 rookies rated ahead of him this season. If you insist on using the $5 million on another edge guy, just in the range from guys rated #50-75 (where Murphy is), there are 13 guys being paid less than $5 million, so we're probably talking about at least 20-30 of them in total.
  14. Yeah, it's CJ. I want to see the picture of him is from one of the games against Duke or Georgetown but I don't remember for sure. I made this avatar in Photoshop a long time ago now. And yeah, the team has been rough for sure. I thought we were being overhyped the whole time anyways, so I'm not super surprised, but it is a little disappointing to more or less look like the same team we had a year ago.
  15. I'm not sure i understand the logic behind "We already have ____ cap space, why get more?" The answer is pretty simple. You can save $5 million by cutting Murphy and then sign someone significantly cheaper that will likely produce more. The amount of cap space that Buffalo already has should not be a factor in the decision at all. You're not cutting Murphy because you need cap space; you're cutting Murphy because he's more expensive than alternative options and also likely inferior to those cheaper options. The same is likely true in the case of LeSean McCoy and Charles Clay as well. The Bills should cut them, not because they need to clear more cap space, but because they can replace them with better players at a better price point.
  16. Of the 55 RBs that have at least 65 carries this year, McCoy ranks 38th in terms of highest percentage of runs with 8+ in the box, meaning that he's facing 8+ in the box less than most.
  17. I'm a bit torn. Ethically, I'd love for the NFL to just kick out guys that can't behave themselves. Therefore, from that perspective, I would not want Buffalo to pick him up. Having said that, it appears that the NFL has zero interest in doing that, as there are countless examples of far worse people (at least based on what we currently know) being able to continue playing in the NFL. From that perspective, not picking up Hunt is simply the Bills being willing to miss out on a great player that someone else will not miss out on. On top of being a great player, his contract is absolutely tiny, so from a football perspective, he'd be a fantastic value. I voted no, and I think I'm ultimately comfortable with missing out on him, but it it is semi-tempting to just go for it and hope that he keeps himself clean moving forwards. His skillset and contract are both highly enticing and I am someone that believes in second chances.
  18. What is there even to investigate? The NFL investigated this whole thing almost a year ago. Now there’s a video. The investigation is over.
  19. He was certainly trying to get to her. There’s no doubt about that. I don’t think he intentionally pushed his friend though.
  20. KC spoke to the media about this in the off-season, so they at least knew about the incident. There’s been reports saying they both did and did not know about the video but I imagine they did.
  21. I don’t think he pushed either of them the second time honestly. It looks like he’s just trying to break free from whoever was holding him back and that was bringing his momentum towards the hallway. Then the woman pushes his friend backwards and the two of them happened to collide. And since the guy was already off balance, it made him stumble into the woman who was then knocked over since she had her back turned at that point. Hunt obviously initially pushed her before he was restrained and obviously lightly kicked her at the end, but most physical part of the altercation looks like it was an accident to me. If you slow the video down, it doesn’t look like he’s even looking at his friend or the woman when he knocks them over, and it doesn’t really make sense that he would want to push his own friend anyways (though nothing about this whole thing really makes logical sense to begin with).
  22. I'm still catching up on the thread, but in case nobody responded to your question, there is no relationship between them. She was just a woman that (according to her side of the story) one of Hunt's friends wanted to hook up with and she said no and was kicked out of the room. Hunt's side of the story is that (I think I remember this from way back when this story first came out) they found out she was underage and couldn't be drinking, so they asked her to leave, she called him the n-word, and then the events that happened in the hallway happened.
