Basically, Knox is a camp body for them. I kid, I kid, but he’s one of the few with the athletic ability to run with those boys, he has the tools to be elite, maybe they can help him harness it.

I have a list of guys I’m rooting for and hoping for big jumps. Dane Jackson - love what he brought last year, wanted to see more, he’ll have a shot at starting. Obada, exciting athlete, not sure where he fits with all the additions to DE, but I expect he will get a good opportunity to make some noise. Knox, break out year. The tools are awesome, has to get that ball to his hands before he runs. If he can get that focus down, we could have a Kelce TYPE of player, not that level of elite, but even half of that would be awesome. Josh Allen, get this as a dark horse, he could become the only QB to get 3 receivers to 1000 yards in a season since 2008 and there’s the incredibly unlikely scenario they could get 4.

If he is legitimately afraid of Covid bc of his heart condition, he’s smart to minimize his exposure as much as possible. I can’t blame him.

Would love to have him, but at this point he’s proven to be nothing more than Knox, not sure that’s the guy you hang your hat on.

I’m interested to see if they do t come out and try playing a “light” line package. Something like AJ/Boogie, Rousseau, Oliver, Hughes. Bring the safeties up, try to create quick pressure and make the LBs responsible for runners, have Poyer as the in box type to clean up in case a team tried to run up the gut.

Maybe it’s another restructuring, then trade lol, seems impossible, but if it was, I’d trade next years 1st and 3rd for him.

Fair enough, if that’s the perspective you are working from, your argument holds water. I disagree with the assertion the Bills have less holes, but I believe the Bills have clear holes at DE, 1Tech DT, RG, LG, TE, RB1, CB2. My definition of a hole is a below league average at a position or an unproven player taking the starting role, ie rookie. For me, the Bills lack a LOT of talent at key positions, JA covered a lot of it last year, but when the heat got turned up, it became more obvious.

So there’s a little question at corner, where the Bills starter opposite White is ???? I’ll go Dane Jackson, but that’s a wash at best. Until proven otherwise, the Bills have nobody that can match Clark and a bag of chips, so again, push at best. The Bills have 3 guys on the line who even stand a chance to start on a real team, I’d trade centers with KC in a heartbeat, so I guess we will agree to disagree on that one. literally everywhere else, KC is clearly better than Buffalo, the only possible argument being at S, and to Bills homers only at QB. I still love how people can say Maholmes had arguably the best season a QB has ever had, in his first year and backed it with MVP level play again, yet Allen is clearly the better play..

Yeah? Where is the hole in KC? Please, enlighten usz

Later in his career, with Philly, he really developed. If he had been that good of a QB with Atlanta, instead of just being an athlete, he would have gone down as an all time great, instead, he is what he is.

I would love it.

Really? When please site an example of the Bills playing smash mouth football, that doesn’t involve Allen just taking off for a big run.

Maybe I’m just cautious, but I don’t see this as an easy win, the Steelers, when healthy, are a hell of a defensive team and more than hold their own on O. It basically hinges on Ben and their D being back to full strength, but I wouldn’t write them off, especially early in the year.

They just needed a camp arm and know Hoyer, nothing to see here. If Jones can prove to play pretty mistake free football in camp, I’d bet he gets the nod as starter, but there’s a chance they let Cam play a few games to start the year, see if that run heavy package will work. Boyer and Stindum or however you spell it are just waiting to be cut.

I don’t think it will be at DE to be honest, I expect them to kick him inside and let him destroy from the middle, like most of his college success.

It may no be these guys, but there are going to have to be a lot of cheap players on the roster to make room for the mega dollar contracts. My hope is Allen gets his and Edmunds gets his from another team. Apparently, loyalty runs too high in Buffalo at the moment, but we’ll see if Beaner allows it to be the death of the team or not.

I said it the day he was drafted “glad the Bills dodged that bullet” and here we are today, the guy is just trying to get more than vet min. I never saw what anybody thought was going to make him good in the NFL, he was safety size with great speed for a LB, but no hips.. just as predicted, bust. Don’t mind him as a back of the roster type, but it’s days like this I’m glad I’m not a Jets fan.

I hope he has a great season and can spark an NFL career.

I mean, who ya really going to take out of that for Diggs and Beasley? I mean the argument can be made for the Vikes, but Jefferson had a rookie season bettter than any season Diggs ever had, until he got here. I guess you could argue the Rams too, but those guys are really damn good, so I don’t really see anything wrong with the list. All those teams have more physically dominating guys, which will always get more attention, it is what it is.

I’ll make my judgement after I see if either/both of our DE picks work out.

Oh I’m sure as heck not comparing the two, just saying speed doesn’t necessarily define success.

I would disagree on not having zone type backs, Moss is actually perfect for that, he likes going north and south, more of a one cut and go type than anything. DS can run in pretty much anything, he’s just not fast, but neither was Terrell Davis and that worked out ok for him. Breida has to stay healthy before I even bother worrying about what he can do.

All the more reason they needed to guarantee the inflated salary of Edmunds. That Beane, what a wizard.

I absolutely hope it’s part of the plan, he should be worth a couple TDs. He should basically play the GIANT version of Lee Smith this year. I want him out there to destroy people as an eligible man. Think of him on the goal line or even in the red zone in general, have him peel off the line and go get some. His back ground suggests he can catch, his athleticism is literally the best we have ever seen at OT, it’s gotta be in the back of their minds. One of the playoff teams was running a lineman as a TE last year, didn’t end up doing anything against us. Maybe he can be in some power formations as the TE, just having him peel off and threaten it will open things up. Who knows, maybe this is how Beane plans to fix the running game.

Ok, I’m not engaging in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.
