McD not ruling out bringing in Hyde: “You know he we feel about Micah”

Yeah, at this point I don’t understand signing Samuel for so much.  He doesn’t even start because the coaching staff finally realized Shakir is best in the slot and he’s been like just a gadget player so far, and not that effective. Wasn’t he supposed to have 4.3 speed?  If so, it isn’t being utilized properly.  He’s not that elusive on those WR screens.

 

McBeane loves overpaying for gadget guys and then never utilizing them.   We saw it with McKenzie, Hines, Harty and now Samuel.

Love Micah.  He did slow down a little last year but not like Poyer.  Poyer looks completely shot while Micah might have some tread left on his tires.

Micah coming in fresh for a half of season would be worlds better than watching Hamlin out there. 

[JP51]

Lots of respect for MH, selfishly I would love to see him come back especially for the leadership.... Realistically, I hope he stays retired, I would hate to see more permanent damage occur to this (and at my age I can call him) young man who has his whole life ahead... but ultimately that is his and his families call...

I have to imagine Micah Hyde taking Damar's place helps us win football games

[Logic]

I think Bishop/Edwards is gonna become the starting safety duo sooner rather than later. 

I also can't help but be curious if Kareem Jackson or Lewis Cine from our practice squad have anything to offer.

IF Micah Hyde comes back, I can't imagine it being until much later in the season.

I'm waiting to see if Cine can contribute.

I feel like now that Hamlin got his storybook INT in primetime, we can close the book on the clinically-dead-player-miraculously-returning-become-a-starting-NFL-safety narrative. It's a great way to end that story, and he has also gained enough on-field experience these four games to be a moderately credible backup if one of the better safeties playing ahead of him goes down later in the season.

The difference between SS & FS.

Gimme Micah and the rookie all day. Hamlin is just awful

[harmonkillebrew]

I mean, WTF are they waiting for?  Micah should have been starting next to Rapp from Day 1, when it was clear Cole wasn't ready. 

Going with Hamlin is a nice story and all, but not a plan for winning

As soon as we added those 2, I figured those would eventually be the guys.

Maybe this past week, forces the hand a bit more.

This is not an attack on McD but I will say, they will all saw Milano outplayed that journeyman vet his rookie year, and it took MCD a bit to play Milano. Very few are as ever as good out the gate as Tre was.

What a travesty. Paying Samuel more than what we could've signed Simmons for. I believe we're paying Samuel 8 per, and Simmons is getting 7. If I'm not mistaken.

The travesty in using Samuel like he’s Isiah Mckenzie

The question to me is where is Edwards.... I dont see him on IR and honestly havent seen him or at least noticed him in a game.. this is a legit question because I just dont know what is up with him and his injury.

Anyone who calls a play that gives Samuel the ball behind or even at the line of scrimmage should be banned for life from the NFL LOL  Seriously... its a disaster.

Edwards has been inactive every game, so you wouldn’t see him out there.

 

Samuel is going to be another offensive FA bust. We haven’t signed a productive FA WR since Beasley & Brown.

The Bills after 2 years still can't seem to figure out their offensive Identity.   Ever since they drafted Kincaid the story was they were going pivot to a heavy 12 personnel package offense, but then they still sign all these slot guys like Harty, Hines, and Samuel while we already have Shakir on limited snap count because of all the tight end sets we started running.   It makes no sense.  We end up just wasting money on guys we're never going to utilize.   Instead of going out and investing in one elite outside playmakers we went with the grab bag of sh*t approach and are just trying to throw stuff at the wall until something sticks.  

 

One thing I miss about Daboll is he knew what identity he wanted his offense to have and ran with it to much success.

 

 

Edit: This isn't a criticism of Brady but more on Beane and his roster building and maybe the communication between the coaching staff and himself in that regard.

If we sign Hyde I bet Hamlin gets traded to Pittsburgh 

I highly doubt it, Hamlin’s game film is atrocious. Outside of a over thrown pick he has been out of position and D Henry made him look slow as molasses. 

If we released Hamlin I bet he doesn’t even get signed to a PS.

I knew that we were not going to sign Justin Simmons, but don't understand why. Dude is one of the best safeties in the league, and is like the Mahomes whisperer. He was on the market for like ever, and signed for a very reasonable amount. Here we are not even out of September, talking about bringing Hyde back....pft

there have been quite a few of these players that were on the market late and signed for cheap and really made a diff for the team that signed them.

mean while we gave the same or just slightly less for players that were mostly duds.   All i can figure is alot of these older vets just dont

want to come to buffalo late in their careers.

for a while we were so good at stretching the field....then we got this small ball mentality in our heads.   

I was hoping things would change with Brady... and it has a little bit but it seems when things are the hardest we go into a small ball shell.

you ever watch a netflix series and the first season or two is so good and your like..wow! and then things start getting crazy..and then things go completely off 

the rails.    that was Daboll.  That being said I think coleman and shakir, knox and kincaid would have flourished with early Daboll.
