Wouldn’t it be funny if it ended up being Baylen Spector and then he ended up actually doing well

McD said Edmunds replacement is already "in house". Whoever that is, I have no clue. 

 My money is on Spector!

McD and Beane are about competition so there's a little truth to what they're saying.  However theyre not going with just Bernard, Dodson, and Spector.

 

They're probably going with a new patented 4-1-6 and going to sell it to us as a game changing paradigm shift.  

 

Milano will still play OLB of course, and they'll vacate the middle of the defensive backfield in the hope of bringing our playoff caliber defense into the regular season to sync the two.  

 

Maybe that's what the legendary "Process" is in it's final form.

This organization has been shockingly transparent during their tenure, but yes I agree maybe that will change.

[ALLEN1QB]

I think he's talking about the guy that was working at the concession stand he looked pretty bad ass!!

[nedboy7]

I thought Edmunds was easy to replace?  Did I misinterpret the endless bitching for quite a while now?

issue is coverage abilities...too slow...7th rounder for a reason...has un-checked boxes

I think it is an example of a half truth...meaning if the season started today the starter is on the roster he is being honest about that...however we have the draft, camp, cuts etc, which means they may still be looking to upgrade.  Coach speak

I don't believe the MLB is fully in house. I think we're definitely going to add there in the Draft. Probably in the 2nd or 3rd Rounds. They'll then compete with Bernard and Dodson and whoever looks the best will take the job for this year.

Spector has more upside then Bernard and Dodson.  He showed it last year in the preseason.  And will be a big time baller this year.  He will be our modern version of Zach Thomas.  Dodson has marginal athletic skills.  And Bernard is built like a safety.

Spector is slow?

 

You sure about that?

4.84 yes 

[BBFL]

Maybe this is the plan all along… The defense will regress somewhat and lead to Frazier getting that coaching job everyone has been hoping for, leading to more compensatory picks in future drafts…

this is from last years draft review - the Beast by Dane Brugler from the Athletic...

 

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Clemson, Spector played weakside linebacker in former defensive coordinator Brent Venables’ scheme. Spector was an afterthought as a safety in the Tigers’ 2017 recruiting class before moving to linebacker and steadily working his way up the depth chart, averaging 6.8 tackles per game over the past two seasons. Spector is a balanced athlete who is comfortable in space and breaks down well on the move to square up ball carriers. Though tough and decisive, he needs to be more patient with his key-and-react and will struggle to consistently shed blocks near the line of scrimmage. Overall, Spector has some safety-linebacker tweener traits, which hurts his potential NFL ceiling, but he is instinctive and athletic, which can keep him earning an NFL paycheck as a backup and special teamer.

 

Considering what Edmunds did and did not do as a first-rounder....I dont see a play-maker (ceiling) or a play-stopper (floor) here ?  Do you ?  

To your point, the 4.6/40  is not too bad, its average at best, but like I said he does not check enough boxes for me to be a starter...

Beane is definitely playing the comp pick game this year.  I can't blame him, it's a 3rd round pick that we need, and for me would help ease the blow of losing Edmunds

[Doc]

Again what's more important is being able to add contributors to the team without them counting towards the comp pick formula.  Meaning they're coming cheap.

With the way that the Bills 2024 UFAs are currently looking, he may be able to swing a couple next year too.

It's something Beane will keep an eye on no matter what some fans think.

Probably smokescreen. 

 

I'm with you because if Campbell or Sanders are there at 27 i think they could go that way .
