You really think Patterson would fall to the 4th round? I've seen some boards having him gone early second. That would be amazing though. Knowing this team, we'd pass and take a DE instead. And curious why we'd take an edge rusher in the first round when we have Groot and Von.
-
Most mocks I've seen have Hyatt going late first round and some scouting reports have him as the #2 WR in the draft. Can't see him falling to the end of the second round. Would be nice if he did, but I don't see it. If we want one of the better WR prospects, it's going to have to be with our first round pick IMO.
-
We need a true WR2, not another TE, IMO. We don't hardly throw to the one we have unless it's near the endzone. If Patterson falls that far in the second round, we'd better take him. We'd be stupid not to.
-
That's the thing...none of them really have to be better than Josh. They just have to play better than Zach Wilson, Mike White, Skylar Thompson, and Teddy Bridgewater. The Jets and Fish played us tough with some pretty pedestrian QB play. I'd rather not see either of them get any future HOF'ers or someone as dynamic as Lamar.

Based on his PFF grade this season (43.7), Saffold barely qualifies as a warm body at this point.

Anyone wondering why Brady may be on the fish radar, here you go. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35539313/tua-tagovailoa-protocol-miss-pro-bowl-games-source-says The fish may say they aren't worried about Tua going forward, but they're full of it if they're actually considering making a push for Brady.

Final Pro Football Focus Oline Season Grades

Geez, we paid Saffold $6M to come in and stink up the joint. This is where we were last year. Better across the board. LT Dion Dawkins | 77.5 LG Ike Boettger | 59.8 C Mitch Morse | 63.8 RG Daryl Williams | 67.5 RT Spencer Brown | 62.5 -
With Oliver Value Goes Beyond the Stat Line
Billz4ever replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
Jones is the easily the best interior lineman we have on this roster as a 4th round pick. It's pretty clear Ed has never and probably will never live up to his draft position. He's a liability against the run because he's undersized and often can't shed his blocks. Obvious passing downs are the only times I like seeing him in there. -
With Oliver Value Goes Beyond the Stat Line
Billz4ever replied to Rich Stadium Original's topic in The Stadium Wall
For an interior D-lineman, he's undersized. He's often unable to shed blockers and gets pushed around against the run. Obvious passing downs are the only place he's decently effective. I'm guessing we were hoping for more than just a situational player when we took him 9th overall. -
You ain't lying.

Your Offseason Upgrades to the OLine
Billz4ever replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sounds good to me. Saffold wasn't much of anything, nevermind a Mauler. Saffold reminds me more of a speed bump. -
Home: Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Broncos, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, Buccaneers, Jaguars Away: Chiefs, Chargers, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Eagles, Bengals, Commanders With this schedule and the possibilities of Division opponents upgrading at the QB position with proven QB's, I don't see it being an easy path.

Your Offseason Upgrades to the OLine
Billz4ever replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
I'm less worried about getting specific with names, I'm more inclined to comment on the type of players we need. We need a couple maulers on this line. I've heard the word "soft" used to describe us in the trenches on both sides of the ball far too many times now. -
Disagree. If you can't get up for a game 2 removed from the Super Bowl, then you're just there collecting a paycheck. They "ran out of gas" because Cincy marched right down the field on their first 2 drives and scored a TD, while we went 3 and out on our first two. That let all the wind out of their sails. It was clearly evident from the first play, Frazier changed nothing from the Monday night game that started the same way. Cincy decided they were going to take Diggs out of the game and make someone else beat us, and combined with the pressure they were able to get on Josh with a 4 and even a 3-man rush, it was clear pretty quickly we weren't winning that game. Without improvements to the O-Line, giving Josh a true WR2, and getting more physical up front on the D-Line, this team is in trouble.

Buscaglia: Both Bills Coordinators are likely to be back in 2023
Billz4ever replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Scary thought, but maybe Kromer is the main reason this line worked at all this season with the talent, or lack thereof that's there. Kromer may have been making lemonade out of lemons all season and he's getting blamed now for the line looking bad, when he had them playing over their heads much of the season. -
Your Offseason Upgrades to the OLine
Billz4ever replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
OK, again sounds great. Who's the team trading us this guy who doesn't know what they have and who do you have in mind? -
We also have to decide on what kind of running team we are. You can use almost any game as an example, whether it's game we ran the ball well or games we didn't. The O-Line is not good at sustaining blocks, so the running plays that are quick...snap, back gets the ball and bam, hits the hole and gets up field is how we had success running. The line isn't asked to hold blocks very long. It's the running plays that are slow to develop where we usually get little to nothing because the blockers can't sustain blocks long enough.

Billz4ever replied to Warriorspikes51's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sounds great. Who's the team trading us an All-Pro guard for Ed? -
If we didn't have the holes we have on the O-Line and a bunch of underperforming receivers, I'd be all about him, but right now, he'd be considered a want, not a need.
-
True, but Dorsey is the one calling the plays and Cook, Hines, and Motor are who we have. Are we just going to keep trading/signing/drafting backs we don't use correctly based on their skills or actually start using them based on the reasoning used for getting them in the first place? If they can't even figure this out, I don't know how this team ever wins a championship.
-
Hines is only a kick returner because Dorsey doesn't seem to have a clue how to use a pass catching RB in the offense. Same with Cook. Why did we trade for Hines or draft a back like Cook in the first place then?
-
Who else do you trust to return kicks that doesn't scare the s*** out of you?

Buscaglia: Both Bills Coordinators are likely to be back in 2023
Billz4ever replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
We've got a pretty brutal schedule next season, especially on the road. We're going to find out pretty quick what this team is made of. With what appears to be them making as few changes as possible, 13 wins next year may be a pipedream. Just making the postseason could be a struggle.

Billz4ever replied to JohnNord's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yep, outcoached is every aspect. So, we stay with all the same coaches. What changes are they going to make from this embarrassment to when we play Cincy next season? It's clear Frazier didn't do anything different from the 1st quarter of the Monday night game. Is this like where you discipline your kid and tell them they made poor decisions and they promise to make better decisions in the future? Frazier is one of the most inflexible coaches I've ever seen. Even when what he's doing clearly isn't working, he's slow to change things up. -

This was Groot's 2nd season and we've seen some good improvement from him. Willing to give him more time. Disagree on Ed completely. This was his 4th season and he has totally underperformed his draft position at the 9th overall pick. I'm hoping we can trade him.
