Great coaches don’t need end of game coordinators. That’s a joke comment, right? Mcd hasn’t managed games well from day one and has never learned from all of his mistakes. If he was employed in any other business he would be shown the door. As much as I would like to see him gone, I also feel the disruption to the team at this point in the season would not be good because we don’t have any credible internal staff who I would trust stepping into that role. Mcd will get through this year and the rationalizations about the impact of injuries will suffice to keep him and Beane around but the status quo will never get us over the top. Mcd is our ceiling and it is what it is.

LBs are getting destroyed.

Time to move on from Bass. We have to have a reliable pk if we want to compete. The problem the Bills have at this point is finding someone. For what we are paying him it’s a joke he’s not a stud kicker.

And the dude kicks field goals! Nailed a 61 yarder last year and was perfect in PATs the past 2 years.

Correct - the guy has been an injury machine. He may have some skills but I doubt we’ll ever see them in a Bills uni.

This year, Coleman took home the honor of the fastest gauntlet time (20.36 MPH), the second fastest “go route” time (21.71 MPH)—behind only Thomas—as well as landing in the top four of several other categories Next Gen Stats GPS tracks. Coleman’s game film points to his route precision needing to be cleaned up, but in on-field drills, you could tell he is working on that part of his game. While going full speed through the routes, Coleman stayed on course and covered ground very quickly. He got low into his breaks and showed explosion getting out of them. His length showed up in his stride and catching radius, and his hands looked very solid on the day as a whole.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39632786/xavier-worthy-nfl-combine-40-yard-dash-becoming-obsolete I would much rather have a receiver who plays faster than his pure 40 speed, has great hands, is excellent in bringing down contested passes and is extremely fluid in his route running rather than someone who is simply a blazer. I will defer to Beane and team on the Coleman pick and assume they have looked at hours of tape on this kid, not just a 4 minute highlight reel, and have concluded that this kid “plays fast” and has the attributes they wanted in a wr, just like they did when they drafted JA. Remember all the crap about Josh that he wasn’t accurate and didn’t play at a big time school, etc, etc. No one knows how Coleman will turn out as a pro, but I am very optimistic about what he brings to the team and think he will be a solid addition to the wr corp and has the potential to be a Larry Fitzgerald type of receiver in Brady’s system.

It’s all about how you maximize their talent. Samuel is a very good receiver and I trust that Brady will find ways to leverage what he brings to the offense and complement Kincaid, Shakir, and Coleman. We will create matchup problems and have a solid set of receivers with great hands and strong YAC ability. I am looking forward to moving on from Diggs and Gabe.

Not sure I’d call him a project. He does need to expand his route running options, but I think he can be a day one starter given his physicality, size and great hands. With Kincaid, Shakir, Samuel and Coleman we have the makings of a very talented and diverse receiver corps.

Not quite, Kincaid was set when the ball was hiked and he wasn't in motion and then changed direction as in the T&J play. Close but not the same. The thing that makes the T&J so deadly is the receiver goes in motion and the db follows, then the receiver quickly changes direction and the db gets picked by the TE as he tries to recover.

Don't disagree that another stud receiver is needed but we don't need another receiver in order to run this type of route. Diggs or Shakir could run this route all day.

If they keep Jones that will take a chunk but still, that number is insane.

Just to set the record straight, I’m not a Beane basher, but I do think he’s made some dumb moves. Everybody is going to have misses, but one thing that amazes me about what Veach has done in KC is the turnover of D personnel over the past 4 years and look at the D they have now. Kudos certainly go to Spags but between the draft and FAs, Veach has killed it, and this is drafting at the bottom of the round every year. He just seems to find guys who can come right in and fill a spot. Maybe he’ll regress to the mean in the coming years but they seem to have a solid formula in place there.

And best GM in the league.

I don't see a whole lot of press for this guy but he has been nothing short of amazing with what he has put together in KC and how he has managed the draft and turn over of personnel without missing a beat. Just looking at the D, I was blown away last night when it was said that Chris Jones is the only remaining guy on D from their SB of 4 years ago. Here's a look at the draft over that span. 2020: Willie Gay - 63 Sneed - 138 2021: Bolton - 58 2022: McDuffie - 21 Karlaftis - 30 2023: Uzomah - 31 I would love to see somebody go through all of the FA deals he made over this time to complement the draft picks. Amazing stuff. Sure their rookie deals will start to expire and KC will probably not be able to re-sign all of them, but he turned the entire over in 4 years and they still won the SB, so there's no reason to think he can't do it again.
