Beane loves to piss away those mid rounders.   A 3rd for a cb who will be on his 7th team in 7 years?

Did they also swap 5th round picks? WFAN reported that, not sure if true

Please name the offensive player that got traded that you wish the Bills would have made a move for. 

 

How do you know there weren't any receivers available?  That a third wouldn't have been enough to secure them?

Tre White was still coming back from his injury, so I'd say Douglas may even be better at this point. Pretty much the same age. Douglas is bigger. 

 

Nice job, Beane. Now bring back Harrison Phillips, and we can call it a day, even without a LB.

Uh I think you mean 4th?  How many teams has Jalen Ramsey been on?

[WotAGuy]

Cannot believe the people on here who don’t know anything about football, much less the fact that Rasul has a wife named Wilma and two sons, Douglas and Little Douggie. Oh, and never mind that the password he uses is 123password. Geezus.

Jones seems to think he will be back.  Not sure about Milano since nothing new has been reported since his injury.

I had not heard anything about either. I would have thought if Milano had knee ligament damage we would have heard and it would be season ending. Now I'm thinking maybe this is "just" a bone break which gives him a good shot at making it back for the playoffs.

Do you think he can transition to safety in the future?

Yes

Don't like it, especially not for a 3rd round pick.  Is he even going to start over Benford and Jackson?  

 

That 3rd round pick could be way more important to this team as we will have a lot of holes to fill.  

Nah!? I think he will be our #1 CB almost right away. Dude can ball and got paid a few years back after the GB playoff run. This is a very savvy, smart pickup. I would have been ok with Levi, given our issues...but Douglas is...was a cornerstone piece in GB.

They think Dodson is good enough on 1st + mid range 2nd down, and can play Poyer/Rapp on passing situations. 

If they do then they are fools. Dodson is terrible. They should let Williams get the reps and let him get better as the season progresses

100% yes, without question.  Anyone saying otherwise is outing themselves as not knowing much about other teams and/or players.

There are some knowledgeable posters worried that he’s just on a hot streak now that could regress to journeyman level if things don’t go well which is a negative opinion with merit…but some of these other posts look like straight up trolling lol

I didn’t realize he played for 6 other teams.

Define journeyman.

Jones had a twitter post a week or so ago.  Something like "I'll be back" with a sack of his.  The "no news is good news" on Milano is as good as we can expect at this point.

I wouldn’t hate Harry but Harry is more of a three tech, would prefer a true run stuffer.

True, but much better than what we are currently putting out there and shouldn't take much to get up to speed with the D.

[Dillenger4]

Douglas #1 CB

Benford/Jackson split #2

Bernard and Williams LB's

Our D line is getting healthy - Floyd and Von, Rousseau, Eddie and Phillips, Epenesa. NOT BAD boys!

If Poyer and Hyde/Rapp can step it up.... hmmm

 

Keep moving the ball around on O to Shakir and Kincaid.

 

Palyoff Lenny and Cook pounding the rock. Josh being Josh again hopefully.

 

Could be good!

He is and has been a starter people. Seriously, watch other games and teams before making your claims. He is 100% for sure better than Dane, and likely Benford too. Might take a couple games to integrate to our system.

So we're still doomed against Joe Burrrr?

He was also playing on a bad team with no pass rush, and was asked to be the number one corner for several games with Jaire Alexander hurt

 

He will be in a better position with the Bills where he can thrive in a role where he's just asked to do his 1/11

 

[sven233]

There is probably no chance he gets in and up to speed to play Sunday night, but hopefully next week he'll pick up enough of the defense to play some meaningful snaps in a couple weeks.  He's a great zone CB, so hopefully the learning curve will be smaller than most.

Just curious. What are you drinking? Can I have some?
