2020 Our Year For Sure

I listen to Chris Simms regularly because his understanding of the game goes way beyond most fans...he's really good at watching the film and letting you know what's really happening and I learn quite a lot. A line he always throws out there when talking about DK is "damn, sometimes I wondered if their coaching staff was trying to lose the game. It's like they don't know DK Metcalf and AJ Brown are their best players." He also takes issue with their QB from the tape. I've seen Yolo here on The Wall talk about how you have to be careful with production with college wide receivers because it's a dependent position- the system, playcalls, quarterback and O-line need to do their job for WRs to have a chance. It might be the most dependent position and therefore is the position most requiring CONTEXT in an evaluation rather than just statsheet scouting. It really takes grinding the tape (which I myself do not do) to get a true picture. Lastly, we might want to keep in mind that DK was 20 years old this season. Awhile back someone posted comparisons of DK's production at age 19 and 20 compared to Julio Jones (I think he was included), along with other WRs, at that same young age...and lo and behold, in this context Metcalf's production actually stacked right up. A lot of college players are a good deal older than that, for example Robert Foster is a year out and turns 25 in 2 weeks. With his size and not only speed but crazy acceleration, along with nuanced technique to beat press, he can be a nightmare for CBs. The Bills don't have anyone like that. And not every WR wins the same way...Mike Evans doesn't have to run whip routes and triple breaks. Neither does DK

Metcalf. Pull it

Mack worked out well and made a huge impact in my opinion, they need Trubisky to take a step. edit- that playoff was loss was a score of 16-15.

Bears traded for Mack at a similar point in their cycle that we're talking about here, it worked well for them. Clowney isn't Mack but neither is the trade cost

I'm good with this

As long as there's no tennis racket involved

Midnight Express can't be far behind

If anyone is worth that much, he is. He's legitimately as good a quarterback as the hype says

Bills have moved up to 6.5 everywhere I've seen

I'd really like to see the Bills break their mold and go with the stud pass rusher. Hughes isn't the prototypical size they look for at DE but they were forced into it and it's worked out great. The front 4 has to get home. I'm not expecting it either but If they draft Burns I'll be ecstatic.

This is going to be an interesting training camp year

Very nice. They've gone hard after the O-line I also like that Dawkins has a good veteran pass blocker next to him at LG to remove that excuse

Like Julio Jones?

Even a know-nothing average fan such as myself can see this throw is caused by poor mechanics, you're supposed to step toward the target, Allen steps upfield here while throwing to the sideline. Seems correctable

Being in NJ, I checked Draft Kings, Borgata and even William Hill - no win totals. Maybe they go up tomorrow?

How does it work? Honest question.

Feliciano can play Center too

Yesssssssss I am glad to hear you say that! Do it do it

I like Poyer but don't think there's value in giving him a big extension, I'm sure McDermott could get decent play without using so much cap space like he did when we found Poyer in the first place. I voted for Hughes

Seems extreme to me.

It's possible Brown just wants to put the perception out there for his brand that it was his choice. After football his brand becomes his source of income.

nice.

I gotta pick up a pack of smoke

Rafa Bush has been doing that

I don't think it changes anything for the draft. No telling if Fish even makes the roster
