Spector was a 6th round pick. If what you are saying is true about not playing his assignment, lacked discipline in his play etc he wouldn’t have made the team. What you’re saying is not true. McDermott and staff would have said well we have an undisciplined, doesn’t know his assignment or call on defense so goodbye. You can argue oh they kept him because he was a rookie draft pick but this regime has cut many late round guys who weren’t cutting it. They would have cut and stashed him on the PS. The only argument left after that is they didn’t want another team stealing him off the PS which in turn would mean the staff liked Spector enough and his play last year during the preseason to keep him on the active roster to develop him.

Yea, idk what this guy was watching. Spector was fantastic in preseason albeit against 3rd stringers most of the time. He definitely is not getting cut because he provides ST's value at the very least and like I have said I think he will be the starter by midseason. Klein will be the guy who gets cut and a lot of people in this thread think he will be starting. They would also keep Spector over Matekevich as well who if I recall correctly took a pay cut to stay here.

I claimed that Spector would be our Mike months ago and people questioned it. I’m not saying he’ll be there week 1 but by mid season I think he’s the guy. Clemson and preseason last year he was all around the ball all the time. Seems to always be in position. Not athletic but just a football player. It’s something McDermott appreciates

I want in on the pre Kincaid parade as well

Okay lol. I said the Bills are the favorites and they should be but our schedule is very tough. The Dolphins played the Bills tough 3 games and the Jets split with the Bills last year. Your homerism is showing if you don’t think there is a possibility the Bills could lose the AFC East

PUP has changed since when most people are thinking. This doesn't mean he is out the first 6 weeks of the season like it used to mean. He can very well still suit up Week 1 but he wont be close to 100% if he suits up so I'm not worried about him one way or the other.

I think both sides are correct in their feelings. I always felt like and I know there are examples both ways but guys who catch a lot of passes are more valuable than runners nowadays and I always felt those guys lasted longer in the league. I would honestly out of Pollard, Barkley, and Jacobs probably pay Pollard before anyone else because he has production both as a runner and pass catcher. Ekeler has the same story but I can understand the Chargers being hesitant to pay him because his body and frame is so small and that kind of pounding has to take a toll on it after awhile.

Didn't play long enough and didn't win any rings. Shouldn't get in the Hall sorry.

Everyone and I mean everyone at the HC level hires guys they have worked with or a recommendation of a guy they know. HS straight to the NFL

Without reading through 3 pages, how did this get to 3 pages?

The Bills are the favorites but I can see them losing the division

I actually 100% agree with this. Not about the roster but if you put Allen and our offense and Belichick with two weeks to game plan for the opposing teams offense, I believe it would get us over the top there is a huge track record there including SB 25

Pretty straightforward. Offense was humming, mid season hit and the offense still scored but struggled to do so mostly because DCs caught onto what the Bills were doing and they didn’t adjust. Underutilized players such as Knox and Hines(who Beane admitted he traded for to help the offense)

Define Steady and consistent to me if steady and consistent is taking reps and setting the edge with no ability to rush the passer than sure. Epenesa had 6.5 sacks in his 3rd season in the NFL and is an ascending player. He also started 2 games this year. Lawson started 6 games and had 3.5 sacks in his 7th year. So Lawson had triple his starts, forced less turnovers, and has double the experience in the NFL than Epenesa but had 3 sacks less, 1 less turnover opportunity and had 15 more tackles which at the end of the day aren't difference making plays because Epenesa had 7 TFL and Lawson had 6. There is literally no concernable stats that say that Shaq Lawson is a better player than AJ Epenesa at this point.

Lawson is an average football player. I mean the amount of love the guy gets on here makes me shake my head. He's a loveable character. I get it he likes Buffalo and Buffalo likes him but that doesn't change the fact that the Bills can't do a lot better. Epenesa has upside still. I don't care if they were garbage sacks. He's still showing improvement unlike Lawson who we know exactly what his max is. I'm not even really advocating for Epenesa or Basham either but at least there could be something more there.

Either Boogie or Shaq isn't making the team. At least Epenesa had a pulse with 6.5 sacks last year.

He’s a good get this late. Previously paired up with Von. Hopefully draws some attention away from Oliver so he can finally get after the QB. Looks like their trying to recreate the dline the Rams had a couple years ago

If he does have a good year I still don't expect the Bills to pony up the money required to keep him. I think the Bills want to get bigger at that spot moving forward.

The problem is the Bills don't have a ton of speed at WR and teams try to mitigate the big plays by the Bills offense. That means that a lot of teams play a plethora of two high safety/zone looks to make the Bills matriculate the ball down the field. This is not McKenzie's strength. His strength is playing against man to man coverage and his best games as a WR came against such. When he was forced to sit in zones or find openings that mitigates his greatest strength(his speed) and he just isn't good at it. Its a feel for whats going on around you to find open spaces in zone defenses. McKenzie didn't have that trait. He also has average to below average hands which are vital for a slot WR. Its always been a curse for him even when he was with the Broncos in the preseason muffing and fumbling punt returns and you could see that residual here with the Bills still. I also think Allen lost faith in him midway through last season after the dropping/fumbling/tripping that he did early in the season.

I love Dalvin as an FSU fan but the tread is wearing thin, the injuries are starting to occur and the production is slowing. He had a ton of Carries at both FSU and in Minny and he might just be starting the drop off

I always thought Preston Williams had some major potential and at times has shown it but has been inconsistent. I would take a dart throw on him.

Could simply be a play off the Waterboys Coach Klein

I believe they should have Washington and Hogs in their name since its the moniker for their offensive line. Its the name to me that makes the most sense. Washington RedHogs would be my choice but to each their own.

Sounds like a personal problem

Well I mean you've already set yourself up for a 5 to 1 advantage and if 1 out of these guys is better you can say see I told you so. I'm glad to see many people coming around to Williams after doing a little more digging. I was always high on him and told people he was my # 2 MLB in the draft this past year.
