Buffalo Bills Buffalo Bills 2020 Continued

[Sabreality]

That's another nice move, Jefferson can move around and play DE or DT.

 

[SundherDome]

I said this last year and I'll say it again this year, "Brandon stop, my panties are already dripping".

 

[Zman5778]

Sooooooo I think our D-line is done now.

 

[Myllz]

When do they officially rename to the Buffalo Panthers?

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Draft is gonna be fun its now just find the best players

 

[Zman5778]

That's another nice move, Jefferson can move around and play DE or DT.

Sounds like our Jordan Phillips replacement. Good at stuffing the run on the outside and can generate pressure up the middle.

 

[Sabreality]

so could Murphy now be in jeopardy? Addison, Hughes, Jefferson(DE/DT), Johnson/Love...Oliver, Star, Phillips, Butler.

Source: Bills add Jefferson, Butler to fill DT void

Jefferson should split reps at three-technique defensive tackle but could also be used at defensive end, where the Bills are also relatively thin. Jefferson started 24 games over the past two seasons for the Seattle Seahawks while playing on the edge and in the interior of their defensive line. While he's listed in some places as an end, most of his snaps over the past two seasons have come at defensive tackle.

I don't remember seeing this guy play.

 

[JThorne]

When do they officially rename to the Buffalo Panthers?

Right after the Detroit Patriots are christened.

 

[Myllz]

As someone who's watched every Seahawks game since 2012, don't expect much out of Jefferson.

well he's only been above 50% snap count the last 2 seasons after playing sparingly his first 2 seasons, still could have some upside at 27 in rotation.

 

[Gabrielor]

Beane is making me wish he’d do hockey too.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Loving all the short term deals. We have 2 seasons on Tre and 3 on Edmunds before their rookie deals are up. And the cap is going to explode...we can build a perennial contender for a decade.

 

[Buffaloed]

When do they officially rename to the Buffalo Panthers?

They can't steal the full name. They can be the Buffalo Pants.

Crazy how much better Beane is at basically every part of GMing compared to Botts. Dude has a vision, is executing it, and maintaining the necessary cap and structuring contracts to give the team the best chance at long term success

 

[Digable5]

I still have high hopes for Horrible Harry, but Jefferson and Butler are great additions to the DL. Interested in seeing how they are going to be used.

Jefferson played some DE but that was when Seattle’s flexed to a 3-4 formation. In the 4-3 we play I think he is exclusively a DT. Size and DE experience tells me 3tech but is he better against the run?

I’ve been expecting Butler for a while and I’m glad they made that happen. Size would suggest he’s a stout run defending backup to Lotulelei but his sacks say 3 tech.

If they are both 3tech and Phillips is healthy to help defend the run, any chance they try Oliver’s athleticism on the edge?

I also wouldn’t assume they are done with the DL. Between Hughes and Addison’s age and Murphy’s contract (easy to cut and save cap) I think they could still grab a FA or day two draft pick.

 

[BananaSquad]

Yeah that video was an eye opener. Was just coming to post another video. Look at the separation this guy creates!



I keep reading/hearing he is one of the best route runners in the NFL.

He’s AB without the massive targets.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

So Jefferson and Diggs were college teammates, is Beane thinking that deep or just a coincidence?

 

[CrazyPsycho]

Nailed Poyer's deal too, only 2 real years guaranteed

 

[Digable5]

If Chris Harris, is still an option, I think he’s “competition” for Taron Johnson in the slot and not Wallace and Norman on the outside.

If he passes or we pass on him, I’d expect to see Dugger or Chinn in round two. Actually, I still wouldn’t rule them out even if they did sign Harris.

Other positions to consider early in the draft still: DE, OL, WR, RB or CB. QB?

If everything falls right and we don't spend our 2nd round pick, Cam Akers would be a great target.

Imagine bringing in competition at every position and making someone earn their spot.

 

[TalkingProuder]

Y'all talking about Allen like he's Andy Dalton in year 7.

Dude came from freaking Wyoming, was a shell-shocked, wide-eyed, terrible rookie, and made huge strides in year two.

Development is a thing. He's nowhere close to done with it yet.

This isn't a proclamation that he will be good, but a skepticism of the framework you choose to view the situation with

That was the common view on QBs 15 years ago. QBs can learn and get better as pros but most of this development will happen is wishful thinking. QBs don't wholesale change in the NFL.

Allen has already proven he can be an NFL starter. What his actual standing among other QBs should be apparent next year, it will be his 3rd year starting.

 

[Club]

I'm so pumped for yall getting Diggs. Really wanted Buckner on the Ravens.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

Devonta Freeman cut from ATL could be a nice RB2 add for probably around 4-5 mil per year.
