  1. We kind of had a thread like this not too long ago but my opinion hasn’t changed. 
     

    DE, DT, and WR are primary needs

     

    CB, LB, and backup QB are secondary needs

     

    I agree a I would l Ike to have a 2nd TE guy who can block. I don’t need Lee Smith but not a pure flex TE who has some experience blocking in College. 
     

    Kicker and Punter should be on the list as well as would like to haves if Bass can’t turn it around

  2. I’m on the fence here. I assume the deal is in the 14-15 mill a season range which is actually a bargain for ascending tackles if you can believe that. Whether you think Brown is worth it is another point entirely. 
     

    I agree with the point that with Grable and RVD looking like they’re ready to step in in a year or two. I assume Brown is working under his rookie contract for this year then the big money will be in the last two years. 

    Dawkins signed an extension but has an out that happens to line up two years from now. That means by the time Browns money kicks in, Dawkins could be coming off the books for either Grable, RVD or a rookie pick. 
     

    From a OL money management perspective it makes sense that you’ll likely only be playing one OT big money moving forward still in the future but will Brown keep ascending to be a dominant RT or will he plateau is the question. 


    I also don’t think this affects us getting  WRs in the future. All our WRs are under cheap contracts and I full expect, especially with locking up Brown, that one of our top 3 picks will be used on a pass catcher next year

  3. I actually disagree that he punted well. He still has an incredible leg of course but he twice failed to put the ball inside the 10 yard line, booming one about 5 yards too deep and the other with no backspin that a Chiefs player almost saved. 
     

    He’s the same punter he was in college. He’ll wow you with his big leg but his placement was always his Achilles and appears to still be

  4. I was really high on Dorian coming out. Had him as my # 2 MLB prospect. 
     

    He has very high end traits for the position but has struggled to harness at times. You can see him pop though and I’m hoping he can take a leap this year because he has pro bowl like potential in my opinion. 
     

    I think the Bills drafted him to eventually replace Milano later down the road but Milanos injuries have thrust him in a prominent role now obviously

    You're wrong on this one pal.

     

    Evans was kept for depth, that's why he was IRd.

     

    If all RBs are healthy when his IR window expires, he'll be let go

     

    Then they should have just injury settled with him instead of wasting one of their 8 return spots on him. Could have then signed him to the PS when he got healthy.

    Ha, Ok.  I agree players get better, and Ty is better than Evans.

     

    So answer this, if Evans was higher on the depth chart, why did Evans get a solid chunk of playing time in preseason Game 3, while all starters and key backups (including Ty) did NOT play?

     

    I already told you Ty Johnson was injured. They obviously weren't going to expose Davis and Cook in the last game. Johnson had 1 carry for 6 yards this entire  preseason. If we're going by your theory than Ty Johnson is in line to be the starter since the Bills didn't use him at all and must have been worried about their bell cow getting hurt.

    And that's why Evans was on the P/S last season down the stretch, while Ty was active?

     

    Yep makes alot of sense

     

    If you can believe it guys get better. There is also a new offensive coordinator who likes to throw to Running backs. Evans is a better pass catcher than Johnson. I'm not saying its the reason I said its a possible reason for why they IR'd Evans. Johnson was also injured all preseason. Its not totally inconceivable to think that Evans was going to make it.

    Admittedly I was not a fan of drafting a RB at that spot to begin with, namely because the difference between a RB there and a RB like Ty Johnson is practically nothing, so that certainly colors my opinion here. But I figure if you take a RB in the top 5 rounds they need to be part of the top two rotation from day one. I guess if Davis is the #2 within a few weeks it's not a huge deal.

     

    Davis is already the # 2 lets not get all caught up in the depth chart. He's the best pass blocker of the group and he is the best pass catcher out of the 3. He's going to get significant playing time. I don't believe that Johnson even makes the team if Evans doesn't get hurt. Its the only reasonable reason I can think that they decided to IR Evans for 4 weeks instead of injury settling.

    I always see this, but what is the actual track record here? Poyer and Hyde were already good players, Tre obviously had a hell of a run, but Elam busting is rough. Hamlin never really came along, Rapp was awful last year, Benford was a god send find, and Douglas was already a stud. Honestly if we can keep fleecing GB for their DBs that would be great lol. 


    Poyer wasn’t a good player. He was an injured backup. Hyde was a good player but he was a jack of all trades player in Green Bay that learned the safety craft here. 
     

    Dane Jackson 7th round pick/ starter

     

    Christian Benford 6th Round pick / starter

     

    Taron Johnson 4th round pick (all pro)

     

    Tre White (pro bowler, all pro)

     

    Ja’Marcus Ingram (undrafted)

     

    Cam Lewis (undrafted) 

     

    Levi Wallace (undrafted)/ starter

    I'm not going to attack the source here, because he be could correct, but I'm just gonna say that it is very much a "Mike Schopp" move to have on a guest to just absolutely crap on a Bills move without any push back whatsoever. 

     

    And I say that mostly enjoying the afternoon show. 


    Well the good news is even if all of this about Cine is true he currently is Safety # 7 on the roster and we’re not exactly relying upon him to play. 
     

    There is also something to be said for when a coach is riding you/ giving up on you that effort starts to lack etc. not saying it’s right but you break your leg in your first year, then they pass you up before giving you a chance to prove yourself. 
     

    Maybe a change of scenery will help and maybe it doesn’t but it’s a solid flyer and if it doesn’t work it’s not like we’re stuck with him

  11. If you listened to Beanes presser yesterday, you kind of could read the tea leaves that his time was short. 
     

    He basically said Virgil was someone coming in and when he talked about Cain it was kind of like yea you know we’re feeling him out and still getting to know him like he already knew what was going down

    That's an interesting quote.  Beane essentially admitting what many people have been saying here for months:  The Bills are short on proven players, and how far they go will depend on whether some guys can step up.  


    I watched the presser, it wasn’t meant that way at all. He was talking about the injuries at LB and at Safety and the offense and said unfortunately a lot of guys didn’t get time in the preseason to get reps because of that. He said these players will have to learn on the fly in the regular season unfortunately
