  1. 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.

    With pick 91, the Bills could have drafted:

     

    OT Wanya Morris
    DT Brodic Martin
    NT Siaka Ika 
    OT Nick Saldiveri
    CB Kelee Ringo

     

    Let's see in 2 years who is the better NFL player.

     

    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.

  3. I think it stings more to me when they are lost quickly or unexpectedly. I had two Husky brothers, Oreo and Zorro, from the same litter and we raised them both since they were puppies. 

     

    Oreo was 12 years old when he passed. Up until a month before he was energetic, his normal self and loving life. The next month he had dropped significant weight, jaundice started and he had liver cancer. Due to his age we had him pass to stop any future suffering. My wife and I balled our eyes out for days due to the unexpected nature of it because we had seen him as his normal self until it happened. 

     

    Zorro was almost 15 when he passed this past October. He was a shell of his former self. He had lost a ton of muscle mass, slept all day, and started to lose his bodily functions while struggling to walk. While I was sad to see him go for sure, it was his time and probably beyond his time with us. I was more empathetic for him and knew I was doing the right thing for him. I miss him but the situations were vastly different and the emotional side of things were handled very different.

    Ertz couldn't block a twitter account. 

     

    I didn't mean Ertz necessarily. I get where you would think that by the way I typed it though. I suspect their going to keep Morris as that 2nd Traditional Y TE in case Knox gets hurt because Kincaid cant block NFL players right now. Having an OL be that guy again then restricts you to really 11 personnel instead of a wide array of packages that they could use with the traditional Y and F TE

  5. While, i'm not a fan of Ertz. If the plan is to run 12 with Kincaid as a slot, having a solid 3rd TE who can block is imperative and I expect the Bills to keep 3 TE's on the roster whether that is Morris or someone else.

    For the love of god!!!!  NO MORE THANKSGIVING GAMES!!!  Please!!

    I hope not.  Not the ideal situation.  Prefer to get something on tape with Payton running the O before having to play them.  


    I meant for the Chiefs opener not ours

  7. Makes sense for Bengals / Chiefs. Both assumed to win their decisions easily so they want them to play their starters in week 17. 
     

     

    Im gonna guess the Bills are on Thursday Night Week 4 to give them time for England because I don’t think they’ll take their bye week 6.

    Not many schools outside Bama, Texas, Clemson, UGA can do that. OU doesn't even do that. 

     

     

     

    Yup hence the he'll have to build up his team like the rest of the country. I really like Stutsman wish FSU would have recruited him out of HS. Hell of a player.

    FWIW I listened to the PFF podcast on 5th year options and Simmons was discussed. They thought that AZ made a mistake by trying to make him an off-the-ball LBer. They said that it often takes 4-6 years for college players who were already playing that position to adapt to the NFL. That is largely due to the massive amount of information that met have to process very, very quickly to be effective. So moving Simmons there was not something that was likely to succeed. They think he’s best as the SS in a C-3 or as a Big Nickel Slot. That obviously would take him out of consideration for the Bills. 

     

    On a side note, Edmunds was not mentioned, but he certainly fits their analysis. It took him until year 5 for him to take the step up we were hoping for. It also indicates that a good team strategy with off-the-ball LBers is to look for vets in FA that are 5 or 6 seasons in and look ready to make that step forward. It also points toward Edmunds sustaining his step forward last season and maybe even growing further. 


    Yup I said that earlier his best position is a big ass safety probably in sub packages

    Who is the most talented football player that might be a buy low, high ceiling, linebacker?


    He'd be a better safety than MLB. You have a nasty habit of trying to put highly athletic bad processing football players into the MLB position. 
     

    I had high hopes for him too but it’s been 4 years at this point he is what he is a sub package player that doesn’t have a real position

    I had a similar though but Beane ruled it out the other day and walked back the idea that Williams could only play outside.

     

    My thought is McDermott and he hadn't talked about it entirely and then the next day McDermott is like yeah lets give him a shot there and Beane then walked it back.

    I was guilty of a making a bad snap judgement.  Once I heard Beane say that he’d be playing behind Milano outside- I just couldn’t have been more confused.  Not so much about this particular pick, but the combination of Bernard and Williams.  I hated the fact that they burned 2 3rd round picks on LBs.  One of which is destined for ST and depth for the next 2-3 years while we have Milano.  Tbh- they both may end a ST/depth players as Spector may take the job and run.  
     

    I like Williams but I think his selection just reinforces my initial thought that Bernard was an awful pick.  I hope I’m wrong but I don’t think he’ll ever be more than ST/depth.  

     

    I agree with you on that point. Its funny because last year I crapped all over the Bernard pick saying he was a 6th round prospect and I got was vitriol and eye roll emojis. This year I loved the Williams pick and got vitriol and eye roll emojis after the pick was made.  Bernard will end up being the guy that will be ST's or out of the league in 5 years not Williams.
