2020 Our Year For Sure

I agree he'd start there now and indicated as much. I agree he might be interested. I just think it makes no sense for the Bills to risk getting worse at the most pivotal position in the game for the sake of draft picks.

I believe it was reported that Denver actually offered him more money than we did. After sitting for 4 years in Baltimore Tyrod wanted a real chance to play. I wouldn't be surprised to learn Tyrod would love to be in Denver but I would be surprised to learn he's willing to hold out to make that happen. Holding out when he's so close to the big money with the Bills is a risky play and not what I'd expect from the guy who watched flacco bet on himself and earn his contract the hard way and then did the same by taking less money in Buffalo.

So Dareus at DE even in 4 man fronts?

Competition for Miller too.

Do you not think it's possible to have watched that game and come away from it not knowing who stripped Lee Evans? There's no test afterward. I watch all the primetime games and all day every Sunday and had only heard of Brown. It's not like I'm trying to remember the name of every player who makes a tackle. Still the who posts are inane I think we agree there. I'm glad you're as learned as you are and thanks for the info.

Do we ever two gap in the nickel? Or does Rex consistently let them rush? I suspect the latter...?

After this year we tag him and sign him. I don't see anything decaying just an agent doing his job while Tyrod calmly prepares to play.

It really does seem this way.

I feel the same way and campaigned for him to go. Now I'm in the hope against hope stage.

I see 10 winnable games there. Cmon Rexy, prove us wrong.

Not too surprising considering Micromanaging Marrone came from there.

Very true. I wonder what kind of deal a guy like this can get.

I like the sound of this. Could keep us from being desperate in the draft and keep Manny Lawson out at SLB where he belongs.

It wasn't so easy to defend in SF. Woods ran faster at the combine than either anquan boldin or Michael crabtree. They are possession receivers both and we're already far ahead of the game with a unique talent like Watkins. The real difference is they had the best o line in football. It could help a little if we had someone a bit taller or a bit faster but the difference is being conflated. We actively work to pass the ball as little as possible and when we do it's often play action. Rex and Roman are going to live and die by the running game.

Funny I feel the exact same way. Every single season of the drought I've desperately hoped I'm right, this year I desperately hope I'm wrong. Maybe it's a good thing.

Offensive line. It functions well because it's well coached but if it had all pro players it would dominate. Roman has been this guy his whole career, he can't suddenly morph into Bill Walsh. Not under a head coach who does nothing to encourage that sort of adaptation. I'm not an ol purist like it seems but this is who we hired, and where we're at. Jmo

Yeah strange how they rarely say that about black guys. He does seem to have vastly improved against the run which takes work.

We could use depth at a number of places and only have so many picks. It's good to have a vet imo to compete for a roster spot and push the youngins.

ha too true

I hope so. With dareus at one end we just may be able to get by with Bryant, Wynn and this dude at the other.

Some interesting analysis of biermann. They make it sound like he's a high motor guy who works hard to improve and has gone from a liability against the run to making it his strength. However they say he's lost the ability to cover backs or tight ends following an achilles tear and is a limited pass rusher. Good special teamer. At 250 pounds I wonder if the staff sees him as a backup to Lawson. http://www.thefalcoholic.com/2016/2/22/11082164/will-kroy-biermann-receive-another-contract-in-atlanta

Ah I see you now. That could work. Thanks

Just need some kind of replacement for the onside kick. I doubt the league will want to lose it as it keeps people tuned in to the end.

Sammy was getting open with all the attention in the world on him at times as well. That guy is something else.
