2020 Our Year For Sure

For whatever reason we as fans love dreaming about 2 HBs on the field at the same time, like when we had Lynch and Jackson or Jackson and Spiller, and these conversations take place and then nothing comes of it. I can't think of an offense anywhere in the league that has used it to any great effect in the last 15-20 years. On 3rd & 1 Josh, Diggs and the one HB give you three different running options. Instead of a second HB I'd rather someone who makes us more dangerous on the ground with their blocking (Lee Smith, Kroft, Knox, a 6th OL) or who spreads the defense out (ie Beasley). A second halfback to some extent is wasting a man, seems to me.

I think I'd rather just have a Gabriel Davis on the field. How many teams have a 4th corner who can match up?

Shrug? Interesting thought. That's a high salary to trade in the current climate, though.

If the team is putting out the message that they're still heeing and hawing over Murphy, it makes me think it's cuttsville

interesting. is he a decent running back or closer to a pure special teamer? I don't love Yeldon becoming a somewhat important offensive piece if there's an injury.

I think the reason Smith isn't going anywhere is they flat-out want him on the football team. The penalties have to come down but some of that can just be chalked up to variance/"bad luck." Its still true that none of these other TEs block like he does.

This hit me in the gut when I read it. Sucks

Interesting. Care to expand on why it's good against New England in particular? Just to spread them out?

The Bills were relatively weak at receiver last year so it makes sense they struggled against man.

Final cuts are Saturday the 5th.

Both of their coordinators as well.

As a Bills fan all I care about is the cap.

Six LBs- backups are Dodson, Thompson and Matakevich.

Sort of along the lines of the post above me, apparently The Batman is a different continuity/universe than the Joker movie. soooo...they're going to re-cast the Joker character again soon? lol It's hard to think The Batman trilogy wouldn't use the Joker in some form after all, the character is so money

Tasker is such an idiot. "Defensive left?" Ya Steve that would be the meaning of left end

I agree! Inspired casting, that. Great fit I think you'd have to be disturbed/traumatized to become Batman. What strange thing to do with your life. Especially for a billionaire

Is there a practice tomorrow?

I'm down for the Ravens to deal with a distraction

I'm grateful for that too, much more fun reading through the camp / gameweek threads now

Why are we all talking like Vernon Butler is a nothing? I know it's one year and we don't know exactly what he actually is but he had a good year last year; certainly there's some chance he's a starting-calibre player.

Belichick is an active coach and Martindale is an active DC, Pees just retired this off-season I believe so has been active the whole time Gregg was supposedly establishing himself as the guru

Wink Martindale, Dean Pees, Bill Belichick?

I previously advocated letting him walk assuming he would get at least 12-13m AAV but I was thinking yesterday that, considering his humble lifestyle, he may have different priorities than others and may be the type to take lower numbers to stay in a place and situation where he's happy. If it's around say $9-10m can we pass it up?

yes. exactly

I agree hes better than Bradham and will get a lot more money. The defense regressed so much because he's not being replaced by an equivalent player. It's always either trash or it's Lorenzo Alexander moving into a role he's not suited for. But who was Matt Milano before McDermott and Frazier got him? Just a midround pick nobody wanted. I think they can do that again and save a truckload.
