This was a good week for Beane

[Alphadawg7]

How many other teams can sit back and say they added 3 upgrades to their roster this week?  

1. Fournette - He is a definite upgrade to Murray and once he is up to speed will only help our run game as he can pass pro, run, and catch.  
2. Rasul - Definite upgrade at starting CB and a long term answer as well, not just a fix for this season.
3. Linval - Space eating DT who can tie up 2 OL, clog the run lanes, and help open up the pass rushing of Oliver and our Edge guys

 

We added 3 guys this week, all who are upgrades to starters on this team right now, and all it cost us was about a round and a half trade down from our low round third to an early to mid round 5th.  

 

Regardless of what anyones opinion on Beane may be, he had a pretty good week considering what this team has lost to injuries this season

Common theme :  All 3 players have won the Super Bowl

I'm sure that is a loud and clear signal within the team

Very interesting.  Add Von to that list. Any others?🤔

Edwards on the OL.

[RiotAct]

whatever happens the rest of this season, can’t fault Beane one bit for inaction and not actively trying to make this roster better.

Loved all 3 acquisitions.  I think Douglas and Joseph can definitely fill in respectfully for Tre & DQ.  I also could see both re-signed as primary backups for next season. Fournette will improve our pass blocking assignments and give veteran leadership after Cooks' touches.  All 3 are very good complementary pickups by Beane.  Well done.....

How the F I miss that one! Good one.

[Rubes]

Loved the acquisitions. The proof will be in their performance. Many of us were optimistic about Settle and Ford, too.

dude looks like he'll be up to speed pretty quick

 

 

nice to have a guy who doesnt skip leg day

I’d say don’t stop now Beane!!

 

Suh and John brown!?!?

[Coach Tuesday]

I think with all due respect the true measuring stick comes on Sunday night.  Let’s see how Beane’s roster stacks up against the team that demolished last year’s version in the playoffs.

Suh could still happen and would be amazing.

I would seriously check with Gronk to see if he has any interest in playing.  He was close to signing here previously

I agree Beane did a very good job this week. He has made some good moves to improve the team. 

 

Only small disagreement is I'm not sure Lenny is an upgrade to Murray. I do think Lenny is a good insurance policy if the Bills suffer an injury.

Did Mitch? 

[Bills!Win!]

Let me know if I’m wrong 

 

The following Bills players have won the superbowl 

 

Leonard Forunette

David Edwards

Leonard Floyd

Von Miller 

Linval Joseph

Taylor Rapp

 

Am I missing any? That’s a nice list of experience

I don't think it cost us anything.  We essentially had a freebie 3rd rounder to play with. Good moves so far

[Logic]

Beane SIGNIFICANTLY upgraded at cornerback -- I'd argue that Douglas is currently playing at a higher level than Tre White was this season. No disrespect intended to White, who's one of my favorite Bills. It's just the truth. 

Beane SIGNIFICANTLY upgraded at 1TDT -- Linval Joseph is vastly better than Tim Settle and Jordan Phillips.

 

Beane SIGNIFICANTLY upgraded at RB2 or RB3 -- at the very worst, Fournette is a big upgrade over Ty Johnson. I'd argue that he's also an upgrade over Latavius Murray.

Given the Bills' recent distrust of James Cook as a pass blocker, Murray's relative ineffectiveness the past few weeks, and Damien Harris's injury status, running back was an underrated need for the Bills. They were one James Cook injury away from having to start a 33-year-old running back full time and having basically no one of use behind him. Instead they now have a guy who has had over 1,000 yards from scrimmage each of the last two seasons, can both pass block and catch on 3rd down, can be a goal line and short yardage weapon, and is five years younger than Murray.

Not only were all of these good additions, but two of them didn't cost any draft compensation, the third didn't cost MUCH draft compensation (given the incoming 3rd round compensatory pick and the 5th they got back in return), and none of them have prohibitive contracts.

Very, very good week for Brandon Beane.
