WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Well this is kind of new (to me) @Andy_Benoit: #Bills Notes: Ryans scheme designed to create incompletions, not turnovers. He furthers the shade toward the DL... @Andy_Benoit: #Bills Notes: Many of Mario Williams 14.5 sacks came vs. bad OTs (e.g. Miamis Dallas Thomas), TEs or were coverage sacks. Is the "sophomore slump" a thing? @Andy_Benoit: #Bills Notes: LB corps is OK, but issues will arise if Preston Brown hits sophomore slump. No sign he will, improved steadily as rookie. Are we talking about the same team? Rex is hyperagressive in his schemes. And the D-line had 3 Pro Bowlers and 4 in the NFL top 100. I've heard of the sophomore slump. Byrd had one like that after his really productive rookie year, but that was more the numbers game catching up. You rarely get 9 INT in a season, never mind get close to repeating it.
cage Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Benoit says its "Bills preview Day" on MMQB. @Andy_Benoit: #Bills Notes: McCoy and Harvin present huge possibilities for space-oriented misdirection. Imagine what a QB read-option element would add. Liking this point a lot.... TT growing on me. Presents the best opportunity to make investment in McCoy/Harvin/Clay worthwhile. Could be a very exciting offense w/ Roman
dave mcbride Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Aren't there supposed to be "observations" from practice, and not simple regurgitating facts already known by anyone interested in the Bills? Actually, most seem to believe that the secondary was the beneficiary of great d-line play. His observation is actually interesting. I'm not sure it's right, but it made me think. Bizarrely enough, Andy Benoit had no idea that he was writing his tweets solely for the obsessives inhabiting TBD. What was he thinking?!?
NoSaint Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Actually, most seem to believe that the secondary was the beneficiary of great d-line play. His observation is actually interesting. I'm not sure it's right, but it made me think. weve played strong on both sides. the benefits flow both ways.

I'm not sure it's right, but it made me think. Bizarrely enough, Andy Benoit had no idea that he was writing his tweets solely for the obsessives inhabiting TBD. What was he thinking?!? My question remains, did he decide that based on observations TODAY at camp? It doesn't sound like there are observations at all, just opinions he could have posted w/o being at Bills' camp. Now I haven't read through them all, so maybe he has a legit observation thrown in. Also, who would be following a guy tweeting from Bills training camp, who other than rabid Bills fans? I know some others probably are, but I don't understand it at all.

It sounded to me like he has no idea what is going on at camp and is sitting at home or in his office watching tape of games from last year.
The Dean Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) It sounded to me like he has no idea what is going on at camp and is sitting at home or in his office watching tape of games from last year. That's my point. If tweets have any value at all for stuff like this, it is for quick reporting on stuff that is going on in real time, no? How is Twitter a good way to dole out an overview of the team, in 140 character bites? Edited August 24, 2015 by The Dean
eball Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 That's my point. If tweets have any value at all for stuff like this, it is for quick reporting on stuff that is going on in real time, no? How is Twitter a good way to dole out an overview of the team, in 140 character bites? I agree. Who is following Andy Benoit on Twitter that wants to read a team preview in that format? "Real" Bills fans are following others for up-to-date news and camp reports. What, did they tell Andy there was no room on the MMQB website for an article?
PromoTheRobot Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 @Andy_Benoit: #Bills Notes: Dont understand why Whaley drafted CB Darby in Round 2. CB was teams strongest position already.Ay-yi-yi!
CSBill Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 @Andy_Benoit: #Bills Notes: WR Woods sensational short area quickness, effective on shallow routes. Can be a 1,000-yd No. 2 WR in right circumstance. yeah, we should trade him while we can get something for him
The Jokeman Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 yeah, we should trade him while we can get something for him Right since we have nothing to play for this year
The Dean Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 yeah, we should trade him while we can get something for him I'm hearing it could be four fist round picks!
Chilly Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 So I followed and then unfollowed Andy Benoit on twitter today.
VanCity Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 So I followed and then unfollowed Andy Benoit on twitter today. You and the rest of the board on twitter. That was deplorable. Benoit pretty much stated things that could have been stated before TC. He had zero real insight and offered nothing that anyone that hasn't read an article on the Bills since the draft might not have expected to hear.

vincec Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 remember when watkins was simply a decoy against revis in the game plan? that was a fun one to read. I thought only Lee Evans was a "decoy" when playing good cornerbacks.
Peace Frog Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Doug Marrone was a decoy. We have your winner of the day!
YoloinOhio Posted August 25, 2015 Author Posted August 25, 2015 (edited) http://mmqb.si.com/mmqb/2015/08/25/nfl-rex-ryan-stephon-gilmore-buffalo-bills * For now, Revis remains in a class of his own. But our prediction for the 2015 season: Stephon Gilmore will prove to be one of the NFLs elite cornerbacks and the cornerstone of the Bills defenseBy our friend Andy Ben-wahh Edited August 25, 2015 by YoloinOhio
prissythecat Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I thought only Lee Evans was a "decoy" when playing good cornerbacks. No. Lee Evans single handedly altered the dynamics of competition in AFC North.
