Youth!

[Success]

We get tagged as being "old" a lot, but it's mainly Hyde, Poyer & Miller who are getting into their '30s.

 

Cook, Kincaid, Groot, Davis, Knox, most of the O-line, Oliver, Benford, and of course, Allen.  A lot of great young players just getting into their prime on this team.  

 

Gotta love it.

The safetys are suspect. They know where to be, but show up late. Hopefully they are saving the best for the 2nd half of the season (along with Tre White).

Dang, Captain! That is a brutal misspelling of the word “safeties.” 😂

There's not much difference between the youngest teams and the oldest teams. The youngest team is the packers with an average age of 25.0. The Bills are at 26.3.

It’s cuz we are not as old as those people like to say we are and we have lots of young talent or talent in their prime

Depending on the week and the metric, the Bills are one of the top eight oldest teams in the league.

I appreciate the attempted wet blanket, but this thread is about key contributors.

 

[GunnerBill]

It looks like we finally hit on some offensive draft picks in Cook, Kincaid and Torrence. 

 

If all 3 of those can build on their starts to the season in the next few games it is going to make such a difference to this football team.

O’Cyrus Torrence played another solid game. This guy is on the path to becoming our best O-Lineman and it will happen very soon. He is impressive.

No.  And last Bill to rush for more in a game was Josh Allen versus Miami in 2018 when he had 9 rushes for 135 yds

Ahh, youth.

 

So wasted on the young. 

 

It takes a healthy memory to make up a great youth!

How did Bernard do?

Bills suddenly look like they have a strong foundation of young players to build around Josh Allen with as we look forward and envision the next window without guys like Poyer, Hyde, White (potentially), Morse etc...  Of course, the hope is we win it all with them and then move into the next window.

 

Key players 26 & under with multiple years on their current deal..

 

Defense will likely need some retooling in coming years, but if Oliver has turned the corner... they will have a strong core for the next few years in Oliver, Rousseau, Von and Milano to build around.

 

Offense is really looking solid with Davis and Morse being the question marks after this season.

Or maybe Rapp will replace one of them, hopefully full time next year.
