Interesting points Rochester Fan. I think the Bills do not value lockdown corners as much as some teams do. But regardless of where we get one, I think a 3rd boundary corner with Athleticism would be helpful for this year, and years to come. That being said, if the Bills really want to improve their defense they need to be better at LB. Milano is good, but not ultra special. Edmunds is our weak link on the defense. I dare say that Dane Jackson has a potentially higher ceiling at his position then Edmunds has at LB. He has been playing for 4 years, and still has below average instincts for the position. The Bills would do well to trade Edmunds if they can, and draft his replacement in the first 2-3 rounds. Mediocrity is the best you are going to get from Tremaine Edmunds. Anyone who disagrees is not watching him and the Bills defense closely. I like Dane Jackson. He seems to have good if not great athleticism. He could become a solid starter for us. But injuries happen. I think if we can trade Edmunds and (throw in Moss for that matter) for decent picks, we can draft CB, LB, WR and RB in the first 3 rounds, and the draft would be a success.

Definitely agree w that assessment buffboyinATL. Lets hope Edmunds gets moved on draft day. Definitely agree w that assessment buffboyinATL. Lets hope Edmunds gets moved on draft day.

I think the physicality of football versus baseball basketball and hockey is a big factor in NFL players having shorter careers postoperatively. A lot of baseball players are not exactly physical specimens to begin with. And they come back, and hobble around for awhile. As long as they can hit reasonably well, and move some they can play first base or DH. Or even 3rd base for that matter. Hockey is a rough game (at least it used to be) but the players on the whole are considerably smaller mass wise then football players. And that extra mass has to put more of a pounding on the knees. Basketball similar to hockey as far as the mass of the players. I am not a doctor (I just play one on TV. Just kidding) But that is my conclusions from a lifetime of watching sports. As an aside. My son tore his ACL in his college football teams first game of the 2019 season. He plays DE, and got caught up in a big pile. He was out for the rest of the 2019 season after having surgery to repair the injury. He was back in time for the first game of the 2020 season. But he said it took him several games in 2020 before he was back up to speed, mentally and physically. He is a 6th year senior this coming season. He has been moved off the ball to more of an OLB/edge rusher type player. Hopefully he has a big year. His team has a big year, and he will get his shot in the NFL in 2023. And of course stay healthy.

Disagree. He had a tremendous 2020. And still made some big plays last year at times. Beasley has had a really good career. Got the most out of his game. Everyone isn't going to the Hall of Fame.

Will Hernandez is terrible. Not an NFL caliber player. Kyler will be running for his life, more then he already has. Would love to know what the Bears offer is.

Losing to anyone in the NFL is not inconceivable on any given Sunday. Look what happened against Jacksonville last year. Ugh!! But Miami will have their hands full against us as long as we have Josh Allen as our QB. Tua has a lot to prove to be considered even a competent starting QB in the NFL, let alone being the next Dan Marino. LOL

I agree. Just watched it. Not a monster hit by any stretch of the imagination. Used to be a lot worse then that allowed.

Back in January 1990 when Harmon dropped that pass, it felt just as bad as when we blew the lead to KC. 32 years later not so much. But at the time it was certainly heartbreaking. Our defense was not good enuf the past two seasons in clutch time. Its that simple. Our D line did not get key sacks, and we gave up big completions at inopportune times in both Chief playoff losses. Hopefully the signings we have made the past couple weeks, (plus getting rid of Levi Wallace) will get us over the top come playoff time next season. (And for all you who think Levi Wallace did a good job. I have news for you. He was the weak link in our secondary. Management new that. That's why we didn't bring him back, and why Pittsburgh signed him on the cheap.)

Go live in downtown Fort Lauderdale. It blows Miami away. Nothing like it in South Florida. Amazing there.

Tua is mediocre at best. And their O line hasn't been good since the Dwight Stephenson Richmond Webb days. LOL

We own Miami. And will continue to own Miami.

Well said MSW. Hill will become an afterthought in New York. He will be double teamed because they have noone else to go deep and take coverage away from Hill. But it looks like he is in it for the money. And we have Jamison Crowder who could end up putting up better stats then Tyreek when all is said and done, with Crowder playing w Josh and Hill playing w Wilson or Tua. Sometimes its best to take a little bit less cash, and get to do something that used to matter-WINNING!!

Charles Haley and Matt Millen. Those were two bad ass dudes on a football field. Would they even be allowed to play in today's era? Throw in Jack Lambert and it would be fright nite every nite for offenses.

Maybe Bates is just a dam good player. I love all the talk about this guy is better in one system, and this guy is better in another system. How about you're a good O lineman because you can run block and pass block regardless of whatever system teams want to run. Before Mike Shanahan and the Denver Broncos of the 1990's began running a "zone" blocking scheme, everyone just lined up and tried knock the crap out of the defender in front of them. I don't remember any of the great O lineman of past eras being only good in one scheme. Kent Hull Will Woolford, Jim Ritcher, Ruben Brown etc were just dam good blockers.

Don't forget about McKenzie's monster game against New England last December. And also the season finale against Miami in 2020. McKenzie can make plays when given the chance. He will be a very solid contributor this coming season, if he can take the pounding. That being said. I loved what Beasley did as a Buffalo Bill. The man was an awesome receiver for us. But his speed is declining due to injuries. And that is football. A big salute to him as a football player. And also as a person for standing up for his individual rights as an American citizen. He is a hero for that in many circles. Maybe not in Western New York. But where he comes from and many other places, he sure as hell is.

Solid management is improving the roster. Doesn't matter so much about the cap, since it can constantly be manipulated and tweaked every year. We have an amazing QB with a very good offense around him. Our defense is so so regardless of the ranking from last year. (We folded against every good offense we played) It needs to be better. Beane needs to bring in some difference makers on defense, whether its Free Agency, trade or the draft.

What is there to like about playing for Washington? Garbage organization. Now if it was in the George Allen or Joe Gibbs era, thats a different story. But on to the next.

Just keep him away from tall buildings with large glass windows, and maybe he will be decent..

Give me a break Tyrod sucks. (watch the 2nd half of the Jets-Texans game from last season) But so does Daniel Jones. Wow, the Giants used to be a flagship NFL franchise. Now they are a raging fire of garbage. Not sure what Daboll was thinking taking that job. Ugh..

With no upside, and a low ceiling. You want to win championships, we need a more athletic CB then Levi Wallace.

Agreed. I am amazed at the love for a guy who looks like he runs in mud. He hasn't sucked. But any decent quick receiver has his way w Levi.

The black Trent Edwards is now on his 5th team. Vikings, Saints, Panthers, Broncos and now Dolphins. He brings as little energy to an offense both from a physical and emotional presence as I believe is humanly possible. How is he still in the league? Makes Tyrod Taylor look almost like a downfield gunslinger.

That is as good a post as I have read on here in a long time Shaw66. Totally agree. I cringe thinking of playing for the Jags. Heck their owner would rather their team be in London anyways. They play in a college stadium in a BS city. Nothing good about the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Solid veteran that fills a need. Good signing. Lets keep it going..

Thats a good point. Fortunately for us, the Giants pretty much suck. So unless they just go nuts and offer Bates huge money, all things being equal I would assume he would rather play for a championship contender w Josh Allen, then the Giants and Daniel Jones. When I think of Kromer and the beach chair incident, I just crack up. Just another part of the nonsense that was the Bills 17 year playoff draught.
