BillsSB2020

I was under the impression we were going to focus on the secondary in the offseason.

I don't believe it was so much a matter of knowing the playbook as it was scanning the entire field; ie recognition. He just didn't process what he was seeing quickly enough. Not a stupid guy(28 wonderlic), but he just didn't have that ability.

Right. Whether you consider him a HOF QB or a middle of the road QB, the guy has always struck me as the "wise beyond his years" type. I wouldn't expect him to make a haphazard decision.

I tried google to no avail, but with all the talk of only spending 50 percent of the 80 plus million in cap space, I'd like to know if that would place the Bills in a situation where the money was forfeited? Seems like we've become obsessed with cap space. I expect the Bills to be pretty active in free agency. I think the regime may feel a bit of pressure to win in 2019. Not so much that they'll spend like drunken sailors, but billionaires tend to grow impatient. This is a pretty big season for McDermott and Beane and I expect Beane to come out firing.

This is the kind of bipartisanship I like to see! For every hot woman, there's a man tired of .....her.

Maybe we should, you know, wait for all the information to come out before coming to conclusions.

Right. I would assume teams would prefer to retain free agents that are worth a damn. Doesn't mean you can't outbid them/lure them to the B-Lo. Doubt Denver wants to get rid of Paradis. Doubt KC wants to get rid of Morse. Doubt Carolina/LAC want to get rid of Williams. Money talks.

Ryan Jensen signed a 4 year 42 mil deal last season making him the leagues highest paid center. Wouldn't be surprised if it took something in that range to get Morse. Ideally you limit the guaranteed dollars as much as possible considering the concussions.

LT: Trenton Brown LG:Dion Dawkins C:Mitch Morse RG:Wyatt Teller RT:Taylor/Risner/other draft pick Spencer Long as primary backup at all 3 interior line positions.

The MSM has no qualms about "jumping the gun." Kraft would have been big time news if anyone cared IMO.

Indeed. As I said, I like Manuel the human being, but he had a tendency to lead his receivers into collisions. A STRONG tendency. That will cause a WR mutiny every day of the week.

Kraft is way down the celeb headline stuff on MSM behind R Kelly and Smollett, so this isn't the case at this point.

Agree with much of your post, but take exception with this particular analysis. Belichick's defensive philosophy is strenthfinder friendly in the sense that he's going to take away your STRENGTH and force you to beat them with your weakness. That does mean you need multiple ways to beat a BB defense, but I don't think it defies the notion of playing to your strength. And as you point out, he will run the ball or throw underneath to Edelman until you stop it. That is playing to the strength in that specific matchup. A bit different than the macro view of playing to one's strengths, but not exactly diametrically opposed to it. How many teams do we see run the ball/throw deep/throw underneath successfully only to "mix it up" for the sake of mixing it up? Belichick just keeps doing whatever happens to be working. Going to the well until your opponent stops it is also strengthfinder friendly.

And all Tedford QB's suck! Not discounting your point, but you have to look at each player individually. I think Brown is a perfect fit because of his size and physicality. The fact that Solder didn't pan out doesn't mean Brown won't.

Do you have a source regarding the three interested teams? Also, there's a zero.zero percent chance the Steelers are getting the 2nd or 3rd overall pick. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even be bold enough to ask for that. Not trying to throw shade, but a top five pick is unrealistic.

Sports socialism if you ask me. Never been a fan.

I had to google it because I thought it was Chase Daniel, but it was Chad Henne. Henne is getting up there in age, so he's got a shot to beat him out I would think.

There are also people "speculating" that his recent prison reform tour with some rappers placed a target on his back. I don't buy ANY of it, but rampant speculation is all the rage these days. "Tiger Woods is the bigger name," yada, yada, yada.

Agree. Just can't see them spending that kind of coin on Bell. Shady is the only elite back Reid has ever had. I think he knows they can win without an elite back and won't allocate those kind of resources on a RB. I guess it's POSSIBLE considering they don't have to pay Mahomes until 2022. My guess would be that they'd want to have some cap flexibility for the defense.

EJ was an outstanding young man during his time in Buffalo. While he's got back-up AT BEST ability, I wish him well. Not sure if he'll even make the team let alone become the primary backup, but it's a good thing that he's getting a shot.

Right. Human trafficking is disgraceful and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, but it's naive to think there are not a lot of women willingly making these transactions. It's the oldest profession in the world. Ironically, Robert Kraft looks like the oldest man in the world so he may have been there at it's inception.

I'm not sure of much in this world, but I am positive that Sean Payton would not have hitched his wagon to JP's star.

You must have just watched that movie to come up with such an outstanding reference. Top 5 on my all time list.

That's not necessarily true. Everyone talks about the justice system being biased against minorities, but the real story is that it's biased against those without means. Money can absolutely buy freedom.

Exactly. There was very little to no indication that he'd be able to accumulate the kind of rushing yards he did in 2019.
