26CornerBlitz Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 @RyanTalbotBills #Bills' under-25 talent among the NFL's best, says ESPN Insider http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/08/buffalo_bills_under-25_talent_ranks_in_nfls_top_10_says_espn_insider.html Agree or disagree? Kacsmar wrote: "The Bills have a few under-25 starters in significant roles this season. Sammy Watkins is the team's leading receiver and a quality playmaker when he's healthy, though his presence here matters less for his team than most of these young players because the Bills did not pick up his fifth-year option. Cornerback Ronald Darby charted much better in 2015 than he did last year, but he's starter material. Kevon Seymour charted well in limited opportunities as a sixth-round pick last year and should compete for the nickel corner job, vacated by Nickell Robey-Coleman. Right guard John Miller is important to Buffalo's run-heavy offense, and he finished second at his position in snaps per blown block. Linebacker Preston Brown struggles to stop the run, but has a surprising knack for big plays and led the NFL with 31 defeats in 2016." Among the players listed, Watkins, Darby, Miller and Brown are all set to start with Buffalo in 2017. Watkins' foot looks completely healed and he'll be a vital part of the team's offense in 2017. Darby will be Buffalo's No. 1 cornerback after Stephon Gilmore left in free agency. The cornerback will look to bounce back after struggling in his second year with the team. Miller was supposedly in a battle for the right guard spot with Vlad Ducasse, but it seems as though that competition ended quickly in training camp. The middle linebacker competition may already be over with as well. Brown looks as though he'll start at the position based on the reps he's received at camp.

Mark Vader Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 No mention of Shaq Lawson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 No mention of Shaq Lawson? It referenced players with solid numbers as a starter. In that regard, Shaq is a question mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 This can't be true because Whaley sucks. Whaley was a solid evaluate of talent, he just didn't understand team building and the value of guys like Hogan, MG, Dareus (bad contract) and Sammy (what it cost to get him) It referenced players with solid numbers as a starter. In that regard, Shaq is a question mark. He looks like a beast at camp this year (When the Bills actually let you watch practice) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The problem hasn't been talent IMO. That's why I defended Whaley. He made some mistakes for sure but everyone does. The coaching was 10x more responsible for the results than the talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes exactly....a lot of coaches do more with less...our coaches have been doing the exact opposite...they have been doing less with more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
