Will McDermott get "Greedy"??
I think he will justify defense every step of the way and ignore the offense. Just my opinion. Hopefully Beane isn't going to let him. We need some balance. Now if it's the RIGHT CB, and we know we are getting a guy who can make our secondary elite, i'm ok with it as long as they use every other pick from rounds 2-4 on offense. OL/WR/TE have to be stocked with some talent.
But also don't be surprised if he only signs one FA olineman, and it's not an elite free agent either. Then we draft a lineman late. He really seems to have no regard for the Oline at all.

Don't be surprised if we draft a CB with our 1st pick.

I might sound a little ignorant, but now that we've drafted our franchise qb(hopefully) I don't find as important to have a top 3 or 5 pick.
I agree with you from here out his development is the most important thing. But can he really develop with a bad oline and no wrs? All he can do is learn bad habits. Now if he's watching from the sidelines he can at least see what is going on downfield without taking the hits. he can be in Daboll's ear and hear his thinking from one play to the next. Andy Reid didn't play Mahomes until he was ready. Allen isn't ready.
This offense isn't capable of winning so to say we're taking is just acknowledging how bad we are as an offense and how far we have to go to get back to being competitive. A top 5 pick affords us the ability to draft a blue chip prospect or trade back and acquire more picks. It helps, but not as much as developing Allen and getting him some weapons on offense and some blocking does. I think the 80 mil in cap space goes further to helping Allen because we can get ready to play guys who do not need to be developed. Plug and play.

Shelving Allen will not hurt his development at all. With no OL and terrible WRs he isn't going to learn anything but bad habits like looking down at the rush and not keeping his eyes downfield. Or leaving the pocket due to fake pressure.
shelve him. Fix the offense and let him learn next year.

yes yes praise the checkdown....

McDermott is all over the place with this #2 CB spot. They go with Gaines all season, then they cut him?? now brought up a guy from the PS to compete as well.

We don't know which foot it is. It's described as a minor injury, so it may have no connection to his previous Jones Fracture.
I'd be surprised if it wasn't the one that had already been injured.

I noticed that on hard knocks. Guys got a swollen diaphragm or something from yelling over the years.
I did coach football for years, and I loved it. I miss it actually. But I don't miss the parents.

...nicely done "Pops".......except for the "trying to be dynamic on offense".....it is unconscionable that this gang could have whiffed so badly on offense......almost like it is an after thought......rehash of Jauron ball and REMOTELY trying to mimic the Yr 2000 Ravens SB champs.......sure the Woods retirement and Incognito meltdown had effects, and now Shady is Shadyless......but some of their personnel moves offensively sure as hell defy logic........no need to repeat......feel bad for Josh coming into this mess, working his tail off, keeping a positive team attitude and getting beat up when he should be sitting/learning......they have the 2019 draft and FA to show something substantially........if we're wallowing in the SAME manure at this time next year, I'd sure as hell lose patience if I was Pegula.........stay tuned........
I agree with you. I think the idea was to try and be dynamic on offense but the execution has been atrocious. Then Norv Turner has this renaissance in Carolina and Cam Newton is loving it. Stings even worse.

Let me count the ways...
- QB: Give Allen one more week off and bye so he has 6 weeks recovery til star vs Jags. Lets him develop some timing with new receiving crew.
- OLine: Bench Ducasse and Miller and play Boettger and Teller at G. Younger, stronger and more mobile than the guys playing now. Let Serles play RT and put Mills as backup Swing OT. Then when year ends we know if we need new starting OGs or not. Same at RT.
- WR: Bench Benjamin and start Zay in slot with Pryor and Holmes outside. Or put Pryor and Zay outside with RayRay in slot.
- TE: Clay to IR and play Croom and Thomas to determine if either can be TE1 next year.
- RB: Abandon the 21 formation with DiMarco and use Shady and Ivory in tandem instead. RPO with Josh from this formation would be problematic for most D's.
- Defense: More of same. Can they maybe replace Gaines at CB2 with Lewis or another PS CB?
That's a lot of stuff I agree with. Honestly not sure why we brought in DiMarco to begin with. He can't have more than 10% of the offenses snaps.

Really begs the question what the hell is Houston doing on their Oline??? They had Watson, they had Hopkins, they had a pretty good defense. What are they using their draft picks on? I know they gave up their 1st in 2018 for Watson, but jeez, draft some help on the Oline.

This is where I expect us to concentrate our free agency money......and honestly Mills has not been the biggest problem on our OL which says a lot
LOL yea it does. It says the bar has been lowered to sub-terrainian levels.

I think the problem is also philosophy.
I don't disagree with you. Every coach that comes in here has the same mindset "we're going to change the culture, and build a team that can compete in bad weather".
Can we build a team that can compete in the NFL in 2018 and not 1978 pretty effing please???? They all want a solid running game and a great defense. Meanwhile the Eagles/Rams/Chiefs are all building world beating offenses, and the Falcons and Saints are right there too.

Don't forget about Mike Mularkey, who was the offensive coordinator of the Steelers. Before McDermott they were definitely rotating between offense and defensive minded coaches.
Bigger problem is the coaches we hire aren't good.
It's more than that until the entire FO was cleared after the draft, we were a wash in old holdovers that had "done things this way for the better part of half a century".
That old school mentality permeated OBD. But we whiffed time and again on quarterbacks. The team has no identity. McDermott is trying to establish one, similar to what they have in Carolina. Solid defense, and trying to by dynamic on offense. It works in Carolina because they have the QB. Whether we have the QB or not is another thread. But the common denominator in every regime since Wade Phillips left is the lack of a QB. We lose, coaches get fired, another guy comes in and cleans house, whiffs on a QB, rinse repeat.-

1. Continued improvement by Josh Allen
2. Continued strong play by the defense.
I've written off the OL and WR's until the next FA period starts. Obviously those 2 areas will be overhauled after this season.
On defense, we need a lock down corner opposite White and replacements for Kyle and Lorenzo.
I think we can make huge strides in 2019. I remain optimistic and I'm tired of all the whining. You asked for a total rebuild and you got it. Now be patient and let them complete the process. Our D is ranked #3 in the NFL. That's an excellent start. If we were even average on O, we'd be a solid playoff team, assuming our giveways/takeaway was positive.
Correction: Lorenzo is playing well and is in no way a liability.Where did you ever get that idea? Also, why would you want Vlad gone and not Miller when Ducasse is playing better?
Lorenzo is decent as a pass rusher when we use him but as a linebacker he cannot cover backs well and that's a mismatch.

Peterman cut, Castillo fired, Crossman fired, a backup QB, Benjamin waived bye bye to, Vlad gone, Bodine gone, Mills gone, I want a ticker tape parade for Kyle Williams wishing him farewell and thanking him for his contributions to the team, no one has suffered more than the fans, but Kyle made the Bills watchable and I never stopped rooting for him.
I want Gaines gone, Zo gone (we'll miss him but he's a liability on defense). Shaq traded, none of our WRs do I want back other than Zay Jones, and if a team was offering a G or C straight up I'd consider it.
Still not sure how this is year 2 of a rebuild when basically I want to nuke the entire offense.

That's a tired old excuse to not get with the modern NFL.
People act as if the days of the Steel Curtain or the 2000 Ravens D are still possible.
It is still possible to have a dominant defense in the NFL of today. I just don't see anyone winning a super bowl without an elite QB. The Eagles got their rings last year with a backup QB, great coaching, and a dominant defense. But it was more of a fluke than anything I don't think we'll see that kind of thing happen again.

7-9 was my prediction going into the season.
-
Jacksonville's defense started to flounder when Marrone doubled down on Bortles and himself. They made no play to upgrade the QB position when it's what they were lacking.

Teller has a chance to start this Sunday against the NYJ.
Does he? Vlad is Castillo's boy and he already benched Miller last year for him. I doubt Teller gets a fair shake.
