You all told me Moss couldn't be traded. I knew Beane was up to something when he didn't even touch the ball the other night. 

 

Beane is a wizard and this is an Upgrade for us. How much to be seen lol 

 

I thought we were all telling the world that Moss and a 5th was the "It" trade for a player

Turns out we were wrong, Moss and a 6th did it.

Can he punch it in from the 1?

 

No, only from the 2, 7, 38, or 97th.

McAfee comments have me excited for real

I’m good with this

Me too. It's an upgrade but not really a splash pick up or a needle mover. Moss was a goner and a 6th isn't much. Muddies things up a bit with Cook there. Good insurance policy. Hard not to approve the move but not doing jumping jacks either.

This is completely irrelevant to the trade deadline and trades being made. No IOL or S were available. Doesnt mean you just give up improving your roster overall because your biggest needs cant be addressed.

I just addressed this.  No one but Beane knows who was available, or the price being asked.

Is this the running back? Seems like he’ll fit it great with the locker room…👍

No, not every black person looks the same buddy

I think Moss will have a much better career than Hines. Write that down. Moss wasn't going to be able to do it here and needed a change of scenery but he's going to catch on either with the Colts or elsewhere. He's a good player

At what?

He's much better than Singletary as a receiver (the jury's still out on Cook, who hasn't had enough touches to evaluate).    Hines can also play the slot in a pinch.     As a runner, he looks about the same as Motor, with less yards after contact ability (he's a water bug).   

 

Would have liked to add a bigger back for short yardage situations, but I guess that's Josh's role. 

 

 Not this year. About the same targets and yards. Singletary has a receiving td, Hines doesn't. That 1 td is the biggest difference between the 2 as receivers this year. Their results are nearly identical.

Josh is going to need to start throwing two balls, one with each hand, on every play to make sure everyone is receiving enough touches and targets. Actually, he may need a third so when he decides to run on his own.

He's a top 5 pass catching back in the NFL.

Why trade for him then? I don't know. Just guessing. Depth?

Depth and position versatility. I like he's a proven punt returner and can play WR.

[eball]

Great trade!  Moss is gone -- a player who simply doesn't fit this offense.  In comes another weapon out of the backfield, and a legitimate threat as a PR as well.

 

We all knew this was going to be Motor's last year in Buffalo.  He can exit with a ring, and Hines/Cook will carry the torch just fine.

So you happy to just keep leaving punching in from the 1 to Allen?

I was absolutely going to joke that this was for Zack Moss and a 5th. 

[Richmond_Bills]

This is JD McKissic replacement that Beane lost out on in the off-season.  It's blatantly obvious that Beane/McDermott wanted this type of player in the system and since Cook isn't there yet, they feel this is the player.  I think its a good signing and he will have an impact during the run.

So you think Beane ignored the IOL and S that were available?

 

I mean, a lot of folks had some good ideas on who was available and most turned out true. It isnt hard to figure out when you look at team standings and player contracts.
