Honestly we have no idea what might be in the works. If we’re still depending on Dodson and Bernard in a month, THEN hit the panic button.

He isn’t great in coverage anymore, something we demand of our LBs

Nope

I mean yeah its a dime defense. 4 DL, 1 LB, 6 DBs. Some teams still do it. Hasn’t been a staple here. 

[Sammy Watkins' Rib]

They are comfortable with Dodson and Bernard. Likely draft some with a day 3 pick.

I would rather they spend that money on Hopkins or OBJ. 
 

Beane said something about re-aligning the cap. I think we are getting a rookie MLB, cheap deal.

Teams play Dime on obvious passing downs. Nobody plays a Dime base formation.

Agreed. You don’t see it as much anymore. Patriots do it a ton from what I recall.

Our safety school

We are likely shifting to a 4-1-6 strategy this year, with Milano as our only lineback. Look for the Bills to add depth at safety and CB in the first round. 

5-1-5

 

They have to be able to pressure the QB ... Maybe with 5 rushing.

Clearly they are planning the ‘ol 10-1 defense. No need to cover the pass when the QB is flat on his back.

My guess

Does he play MLB though? 
 

He’s a decent vet, but I thought he’s mor of an OLB in a 3-4 system. 

[Virgil]

With him getting 7 mil from Seattle, I think we would have needed to offer 10 or more, which we weren't going to do

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Bills get a big safety and attempt to convert him into a MLB. It seems they value range in pass coverage more than a run stuffer at that position.

Sounds like Bernard.
 

Here’s hoping they go with someone who can take on a block AND cover. 

[starrymessenger]

Oh well didn't Josh run him over at the goal line in the season opener?

Seriously that's too bad. He would have been good for the Bills.

Wasn't Isaiah Simmons part of the DHop rumor package?

I think that was just people coming up with proposals. I saw Simmons, Gabe, and Ed all mentioned, but I don’t think it was from actual sources. 

[Nephilim17]

Anyone decent left in free agency? Or could this suggest a promotion internally to starter for one of the younger guys?

[Eastport bills]

This was a big whiff by Beane and our best option to replace Edmunds. Why wasn’t he more aggressive after losing David to the Bucs. Wagner was there for the taking. We needed a heady veteran leader for the LBs and young guys on defense. Why does Beane need valuable FAs to take less to play here. Wagner would have been affordable if we paid him what he got from the Seahawks.
