Yeah, he's going to be like a thousand (or 37, same thing in football years) at the start of the season. Is he worth it for rotational depth at vet minimum? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big time leader and a guy the younger interior dudes could learn from. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterny Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 With regards to campbell. I would prefer Rousseau and epenesa younger guys really step up to major to be difference makers. Oliver it is time for him to really pick it up. Show if he can be a major force consistently. I don’t want old retread players in general. Miller is exception as he is still good. Just my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different types of DTs though. And I'm pretty sure Campbell used to line up all over. Maybe not so much now, and he is good at what you said (run stuffing/ tipping passes) I'd like to see what 2 D Jones (aka Sam Adams) types would do at DT. Their only job would be to hold up the LOS, clog it up and stuff anything that comes at them. Many of the worst beatings of the McDermott era are when teams can run inside with delays/ traps/ draw plays on inside runs. Usually a DT is washed or upfield and the RB is running for daylight with the huge holes left at the LB level in the nickel. Asking T Johnson/ Poyer/ Hyde to take on a Henry/ Taylor or Barkley with a full head of steam is not a good look or effective strategy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overwhelmingly, the MLBer is either late reading his assignment, runs into the wrong gap, or gets driven into the secondary. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of big nickle defense - the proof has overwhelmingly shown it doesn't work against the better QBs. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of big nickle defense - the proof has overwhelmingly shown it doesn't work against the better QBs. I agree with you on both points too. But I'm not sure how many MLBs (does Buffalo even really play standard LB roles?) could do what is being asked. I was no Edmunds fan, but I do think he has an opportunity to excel in a standard 4-3. It's up to him and Eberfluss in Chicago to tap that potential and minimize those mistakes. I grew up enjoying the Bermuda Triangle Defense, nicknamed so because RBs where no where to be found in the middle of the defense. We have the inverse where the DTs and LB are often no where to be found. I'm not sure anyone can look at the DL performance and think that what is being tried is working against better teams. Suggesting Buffalo gets bigger up the middle at DT isn't a far flung idea. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Guy In Pants Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Anyone else uneasy about our off season thus far? Not gloom and doom and not sugar coating a pile of dog shit; I'm just in the middle somewhere like "ho hum". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're paying a franchise QB, you're not going to do splashy things. Teams that win the offseason rarely do anything of substance that year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like McDermott's comments about Josh running and it begs the questions "what have you done to prevent it or make it not a necessity". Which they have made movements to curb it. I start to wonder if the Von Miller splash was worth it in the end. Guess time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 The NFL best players still available in 2023 free agency CBS Sports | Apr 10 NFL free agency has taken somewhat of a backseat over the past week.

There are several starting caliber running backs, wide receivers and offensive linemen looking for new contracts. Below, we will break down the top three free agents at each offensive position, as we enter the month of April. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/news/2023-nfl-mock-draft-titans-colts-trade-up-qbs-go-off-the-board-with-top-three-picks-will-levis-taken-late/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ann Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 The list was updated last week. There are still 18 of the 101 "best" free agents who have not signed with a team. I assume a lot of these guys will get picked up after the draft with teams that couldn't fill their holes. Top 101 NFL free agents of 2023: Yannick Ngakoue, Shaquill Griffin among best available 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
