I thought it was kinda weird how they let coleman kinda make an a$$ out of himself in interviews right after he was drafted. Bills media team seem to even highlight it because it was funny. Maybe they needed a personality in the WR room once they traded Diggs, but it really did Coleman no favors putting a larger spotlight on him before he accomplished a thing in the NFL. Almost reminds me of Mike Williams the Offensive Lineman we drafted over 20 years ago. Do something on an NFL field first before your holding court with the media.

If he replaces Elam’s roster spot, I like it. And he wouldn’t cost much more than the vet minimum. Could see McBeane making safety a priority in free agency and then drafting a CB in the 1st or 2nd round.

Mcvay and Snead aren’t gonna be held hostage by a 37 year old QB who probably doesn't have enough escapability anymore to win a a Super Bowl.

His injury history is a huge factor but he’s also just 29. Mack is 34 years old. That is a huge difference in NFL years. Bosa might still be able to give you an All Pro type year. Bosa on a prove it deal and a trade up for a stud DT in round 1 could transform the D Line and still give McBeane the ability tj sign a good CB in free agency.

Agreed. He has the talent to be the final piece. Sign him to a 1 year incentive based deal.

Paying for good not great isn’t a championship formula. You can’t do the same with Rousseau who I like, but $20+million each for both Oliver and Rousseau is not a good allocation of resources.

Excellent point. Our lack of size at LB/nickel and safety means our DT’s have to keep the O-Line from getting to the 2nd level as much or more than the O-Line has to worry about our DT’s penetrating. It’s not a defensive philosophy that is gonna win you a championship.

2 years $25m. If he wants more than that trade him to the Cowboys. They’re desperate for a splashy move and need playmakers.

Cook deserves a raise. Running backs have a short shelf life. Give him a 2 year $25m deal. It shows good faith and lets him potentially cash it again before he’s too old in running back terms.

I kind of agree. McDermott is a good leader and motivator, but his defensive philosophy of small undersized players playing a conservative reactive defense is never gonna get you a Super Bowl.

For a league that prints money, this is an extremely small time production.

Is there not an actual awards show? Whatever I’m watching on NFL network is awful television.

Two firsts and Rousseau.

Beane gets Mcdermott pretty much exactly what he wants on defense within the confines of the cap. We spent like crazy on the defense when Josh was still on his rookie deal. And those defenses still crumbled and provided no resistance when it counted. Back then, it was Daboll’s fault because the offense didn’t run the ball enough and control the clock for the defense. The real problem is McDermott prefers undersized players who can be in the right spot consistently instead of more physical players who can lock their man up or whoop the guy trying to block them. That philosophy works over a 16/17 game regular season especially when you have an elite offense. It has not worked in the playoffs against the best teams.

Not even sure we need studs on D, just more violence and nastiness. That said, I’d love a guy like Simmons from Tennessee because he’s a stud and plays with an edge. Our offense plays with way more violence than our defense does. We need some Mack Hollins’s on defense. It’s also why I love Dorian. I’ll live with some of his coverage mistakes because he plays with an edge and brings the wood when he hits you.
