Or we could just do what's almost certain to work: Get Josh a receiver or two who has the speed to scare defenses and turn short passes into long gains.  We're not drafting anyone this year who's going to shut down Hill or Kelce, and at any rate, our defense is already at least as good as KC's.

He basically said a whole lot of nothing.

And if they do that....well. That means no upgrades to the secondary

 

I mean, I'd love to have him back on a peanuts contract too, but not for market value.  

 

I don't know that you can read too much into these types of comments.

Beane also likes depth.  He knows they need to get faster on the defensive side of the ball.  I expect they will be targeting CBs in the draft.

[Solomon Grundy]

Interesting that he and McDermott talked about protecting Josh with a running game

YAC is a huge concern. I know at one point Bills were last in the league and I am assuming they finished the season last. 

 

This offense desperately needs a playmaker. At least Beane has mentioned Tyreek Hill and speed a few times. I hope he's serious about adding that to the offense.

 

Beasley can still he a contributer on another team but the Bills have no need for him at this point.

This is too harsh. We can go get a playmaker and still have Beasley. 

 

Brady's bread and butter in the EP offense was always sure handed guys that can get open from the slot: Troy Brown, Wes Welker, Julian Edelman... sure handed finding soft spots on the defense to keep the chains moving, it's a staple in the EP.

 

I'd like some dynamic ability as well, but that doesn't mean dump Beasley.

 

Honestly, I'd rather fill Sanders spot with a playmaker and keep Bease.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'm thinking we need to get a safety that has a little better speed to help bring some of these guys down. Maybe draft a guy and work him in the rotation next year. When McD came in the narrative has been they don't need a whole lot of physical talent at safety but I'm wondering if they're going to rethink it.

I said in another thread that my spiciest take would be replacing one of Micah and Poyer with someone like Jaquan Brisker - a dynamic safety who can run, cover and hit. 

 

I honestly think the Bills need more speed at both Safety and Corner

I have a strange feeling that One Bills Live won't actually carry the whole thing, and they'll take commercials and then later "bring us some of his more noteworthy comments."

This is too funny! It happened exactly like this. Chris Brown cuts out to go to a commercial and then says "We'll bring you some of his more notable comments." I'm dead 🤣🤣🤣

At some point he's going to lose his speed. Just gotta prepare for that

"I don't see us being big spenders" - Beane on FA

 

I don't have a problem with Beane not going out and spending big in FA, given that we have people to re-sign and such

Unless he means we're not going to re-sign our own who are FA?  There are several I feel it would be a mistake to move on from

 

I do have a problem with a general pattern that many here have talked about, where other teams strategically make a move or addition during the season that turns out to significantly bolster an area of need - Ingram, OBJ, etc etc.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind them getting a man cover corner to be able to bring in at times. Sort of like how they rotate the defensive line.

 

Where we're picking we would probably have to give up some size to get value on guys with the speed.

They have two All Pro safeties they LOVE and two young guys they’re very high on as well.  Unless you’re talking about an upgrade from Neal I don’t really see them going in that direction unless some blue chip prospect falls into their laps on draft day.

You can definitely work with those guys and win a super bowl - but I don't think you can have three guys back there with average speed and defend elite offenses consistently - and I love both Poyer/Hyde but they are definitely average athletes, while Levi is also an average athlete for his position.

I am with you I just don’t think they are.  McFrazier would cut off his arm before he’d part with one of those two.

I also want Josh to play until he's 40.  McBeane know that they'll hang higher than Haman if Josh gets Cam Newtoned or Andrew Lucked or Chad Penningtoned or...

It will be interesting to see where the defense is improved. The easy way is trying to upgrade d-end, they were going after watt last year so there may be more of a commitment this off season to getting a guy. But if he's looking at guys in the secondary getting run by I hope he'll look at it objectively and improve what needs to be improved.

10 years down the line, I think we're going to look back at Poyer and Hyde as legends, so I can appreciate that, and I'd imagine every coach would love to have safeties as good, smart and charismatic as Hyde and Poyer - I mean ultimately they were central in turning around the drought years culture, along with McDermott and some others.  So I can appreciate and empathize with that hesitancy. It's easy for me to sit there as a fan and say time to move on from one of them, because I'm not in that locker room and I don't know the intangible impact to the locker room and scheme.  

 

But hopefully they at least entertain the possibility, and if not at safety - doing so elsewhere. Because running it back is just going mean next January we're gonna get our hearts broken again
