I'd trade Moss for someone's 3rd or 4th cornerback Highly unlikely, but it's probably the position of need for us

Actually, I'd like them to have a litany of seasons where they finish in the range between 6-11 and 8-9. Good enough to pick in the 11-18 range but never bad enough to have a shot at an actual top QB without totally mortgaging their future And may their next victory against the Bills in a game that matters come in like the 2037 season

Sorry chief, if your main criteria in a high-quality safety is punishing and most likely, illegal hits, then I'm not sure if we're watching the same game here in good old 2022

The correct answer to this question is "all the guys who didn't get injured"

While you're at it, build that time machine so you can go back to 1991 when that was the kind of safety that teams actually wanted

For the 573rd time, we are not wasting a roster spot on Matt Barkley

A full time no-huddle offense isn't the answer When we initially rolled out the K-Gun, it was truly innovative, and other teams didn't have the preparation or the athletes on defense to handle it. That lasted a little while before teams caught on, and at times, it was terribly counter-productive for us A lot has changed in 30 years, and I don't think going no-huddle really scares defensive coordinators any more. Especially with what teams can do in the 2 minute offense anyways. I'm certainly not a fan of having our defense, or any defense spending more time on the field, just because we want to go quicker on offense. It didn't work in SB XXV and it probably ain't working today either

Not specifically answering this topic, I do think that the Bills have been very smart with how they devote their resources toward WR's. With receivers coming out of college with a much more refined set of skills and being pro-ready, the difference between a 1st round WR and a 4th-5th round WR isn't as distinct as it used to be. So in past years where we used to blow a lot of draft capital on guys like Sammy Watkins, Lee Evans, and James Hardy, we're now drafting more for value with the recent drafts of Davis & Shakir in later rounds. Let the other teams drive up the costs and fight each other for getting guys early at what's becoming the 2nd most premium position. I'd rather have Davis & Shakir, and early round picks spent on other positions.

Also, Blackshear looks to be RB 1 given all the pre-season excitement

I'm willing to guess there's some significant distance between what the Dolphins would like to get and any (more realistic) offers that they have so far received

Well, let me ask the question a different way - what do you think an opposing team is going to give them for a guy playing on an expiring $10M contract less than 3 weeks before the season opener. Is someone opening up a good amount of cap space to bring him in? The Bills did extremely well to get a 5th round pick for Cody Ford. If the Dolphins got even a 4th for Gesicki, I'd be surprised

I love that a division rival is looking to get rid of one of their most talented players for a bag of peanuts and a roll of tape They just ponied up a buttload of cash for several guys that are on the downside of their careers (see Hill, Tyreke), but don't want to give a second contract to a homegrown stud player just because he doesn't seem to fit what your new Boy Wonder coach wants to do? SMFH - Mike McDaniel is already turning into Adam Gase 2.0 and I for one, couldn't be happier

I think the point that we're all trying to make here, is that we don't need the Josh Allen designed QB sweep on a random 2nd & 4 from our own 28 yard line I'm all for him scrambling on designed pass plays, as well as designed runs in the red zone. But it's this ridiculous other stuff outside those areas (where he invariably takes bigger hits, it seems) that has to be significantly reduced in our offense I don't need our generational QB carrying the ball, when a highly effective (and replaceable) RB can do the job

It seems unlikely that they're going to do anything with Tre's contract until he is healthy and back to 100%

You do realize that the OP was just copying and pasting the content from the original Bill Barnwell ESPN article. Barnwell has been writing these kinds of pre-season articles for several years. He takes a defined statistical historical approach towards predicting rising & falling teams for the upcoming season. It's not meant to be comprehensive of all the variables, but as math & stats folks do, he's trying to incorporate those that he believes to be most significant or contributing to potential big changes in W-L record. It's not for everyone, but I think it nicely rounds out all the things that fans are looking for from national publications & sites

Successful NFL QB's & head coaches, just like any other strong Type A personality, are wired to want the pressure, to need the pressure, and to thrive on the pressure. They fully recognize the burden of their responsibilities, which are magnified many times over any other positions. That's why they get the big bucks The fan component of that, is relatively miniscule, especially in comparison to what these folks inherently feel, and often times put on themselves Josh knows it, understands it, loves it, and can't wait to deliver a Super Bowl to Buffalo

Tremaine Edmunds... I'll see my way out now

Independent of the Watson decision, I actually applaud the Browns for recognizing that Baker was never going to be more than a middle tier QB and cutting bait before they just up and gave him a second contract. That's some actual strategic level thinking, and also realizing that despite his #1 draft status, that once you have the guy in the building, he's essentially a sunk cost and you don't waste time and energy throwing good money after bad

You're probably on to something there. I'd forgotten about this, but I remember one of those pre-game "round table" segments from last year. Might even have been pre-season Chris Brown's mike wasn't working properly, but Sal spouted out some hot take, and well, all of a sudden the mike came back on and we heard Chris Brown mutter "Jesus f***ing Christ" So that fits the narrative of there potentially being some professional bad blood between those two

Sal's voice and overall shtick are tolerable in small doses, i.e. updates from the sideline and regular call in segments, but the thought of him hosting a show for 3 hours would be a rough listen. Plus, he's become a little bit too much of a jock-sniffer from having close access to the team over the past few years

My god, if you're complaining about coverage units in the pre-season having a few challenges, you might need to do some critical thinking about a couple of things: The players that aren't playing in the game that might just might be really good at special teams. I heard there were a few of those in that group last week The players that are playing in the game that aren't making the team The fact that it's pre-season

James Cook = 1988 Thurman Thomas

Watching the team run the ball in limited pre-season action so far - it's amazing to see what Kromer is already bringing to the table. I feel like the addition of him to the team (or finally jettisoning Bobby Johnson) is going to make a huge difference for this team. If we have a balanced non-Josh rushing attack, this team is nearly unstoppable

I don't think OJ Howard is going anywhere, but Tommy Sweeney might just as well get fitted now for a Giants jersey. I get that the locker room loves Sweeney, but at some point, they guy has to show that he can actually play. We're not keeping 3 TE's. OJ has a cost-prohibitive contract, and Morris has also flashed more long-term potential than Sweeney as well.
