BuffaloBillyG Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) For those that missed if with a few key comments added. Good watch. Some other key points- - Worked through many possibilities at CB before dealing for Rasul. Seemed like the asking prices were too high for others. - Had been calling about DTs. Still looking to add. I read that as "We have several vets we are talking to. First one to accept our offer at a lower salary is a Buffalo Bill". But help is likely on the way. - Rasul not expected to practice today. Not likely to be active this week IMO. - Mentioned Fournette isn't familiar with the playbook. May take him a bit to see action is the way I took it. Also said regarding Fournette that nothing's been promised. - As usual, Beane was pretty straight forward as far as NFL GMs go. Edited November 1, 2023 by BuffaloBillyG 3 1 16 Quote

RiotAct Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Interesting on Elam, I didn’t even consider he might be battling through an injury. More depth for now at least! 1 Quote

balln Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Also - Douglas BETTER play. This is the freaking NfL. He’s played for 6 teams. We need to win THIS game. You can keep Ty Johnson or Josh Norman off the kickoff team. Spare me. If the bills D is THAT complex then I’m all in on defending elam from these coaches 3 1 5 2 2 2 1 5 Quote

PonyBoy Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Did Beane mention anyone on this board giving him advice for the trade deadline help? 😂 2 13 Quote

Spencer brown back gabe Davis ankle Ed Oliver back blah blah blah Spencer Brown had major back surgery and had no offseason last season. It's probably amazing he didn't wash out of the league entirely after that. 2 Quote

GunnerBill Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 He has Ed Oliver and then three vet defensive tackles he gave FA deals to on the roster. If he needs more there that is his own fault. 5 1 1 12 2 Quote

Einstein Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Rasul not being active this week is a bit of a mental blow for me. It’s Burrow and the Bengals with a trio of offensive weapons. We really need the CB help. 7 1 1 Quote

Bernard knee. Also on there. These injury reports don’t mean anything. Elam has been full practice. It’s not the ankle folks as the reason he’s healthy scratch. It’s beane manipulating the narrative at the mic. 1 1 3 1 1 Quote

Whatever floats your boat, I guess. 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: He has Ed Oliver and then three vet defensive tackles he gave FA deals to on the roster. If he needs more there that is his own fault. You're not wrong. However, It's nice that he's willing to admit that what he's put together isn't working and trying to make a move. Nothing is more frustrating than a GM that makes mistakes then refuses to fix them. 5 1 Quote

He is always going to make excuses for his players because good regimes don’t throw players under the bus. He and McD constantly backed up Kelvin Benjamin too. Elam has only been on the injury report with an ankle for 2 of the 8 games we have played. 1 3 1 Quote
Process Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 4 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: He has Ed Oliver and then three vet defensive tackles he gave FA deals to on the roster. If he needs more there that is his own fault. Beane has been generally brutal when it comes to management of the d line, since he has got here. So many bad signings and draft picks. You are right, we went into this season with 5 vet DTs. We shouldn't be in this bad of shape because of the loss of one of them. 5 Quote
