Really a theme to get bigger and tougher for whole off-season continuing into the season. Kincaid replaced Beasley role. Cyrus added beef to middie of line. Harris is a power back and Fournette is an even bigger replacement. Rapp is a bigger version of Hamlin. Rasul is a bigger Tre replacement and Joseph is the immovable 1 Tech we probably needed even if Daquan was healthy.
If the plan is to play Poyer at LB and Taron Johnson is already on field all the time, you better have an immovable 1 Tech to eat blocks and keep the 6 DB’s and Bernard clean.
So you’re saying they didn’t manhandle us for 5 quarters especially their offense vs our defense? Not saying the Bills can’t win on sunday night but you’ve offered up no reasons why it will be different than last year.
Agreed. Bengals were so confident the 1st game that they accepted the kickoff after winning coin toss which rarely happens in current NFL. I think it was combo of picking on a shaky Tre White and exploiting our back 7’s size/speed/physicality mismatch with their skill players. Goods news is Hurst is gone and our secondary is better than last year.
Not sure why you couldn’t use him similarly to Knox who with his suspect hands shouldn’t have been running downfield routes. Knox was good at pass protection and dump offs.
If tre is off the books next year, Bills have the need and future cap space. Only way I see this happening though is if Bears want Elam. Can’t see Beane using a 1st round pick on another corner which is what it will take if Bears don’t want Elam.
Agreed, bug you can’t count on Tre playing for the Bills again. Bills are in need of a #1 CB long term. Benford is a cost controlled good #2 CB for next 3 years.
It’s exactly how it works in the NFL and every other business. Most recent sale or comp is what every next potential sale is based on. And it’s why all the other owners were so pissed at Haslam for Watson’s contract.
If Leonard Williams on a half year rental is worth a 2nd rounder, Washington would rightly want at least a 1st rounder for Allen. Carroll probably destroyed any chance of deals getting done today by drastically over-paying for Williams.
