Dan is wrong… Dan is wrong… Dan is wrong! 😂 that’s taking it on the chin like a true champion! at one point i thought you were trolling us! we luv ya Dan! Go Bills!! 🦬🏈💥
Ed Oliver… disliked that undersized pick from day 1.
What is that between the Buffalo Plus hat and the neon football?? Looks like a burnt loaf of bread! 😂
DOES ANYONE ELSE THINK THEY MADE OUR HOME SCHEDULE HARDER THIS YEAR ? DUE TO US DOMINATING AT HOME LAST YEAR. DAN,JENNA,MIKE???
Good chance buf trades and ol to pitt.
I Can see Landon Jackson Possibly taking Aj's spot on the line
How many sacks is enough?
What I would love to ask Dan is why we didn't pick up Sanders to get underneath the Browns skin and extra picks . and is Harris going to play cornerback starting num 2
McD's D has been behind the curve for a while. He's finally seeing it doesn't work. He shoulda seen it after 13 seconds.
I think Daquan might be done.
Hamlin was a liability in the playoffs and Bishop still has alot of questions about his game hence why he didn't even earn a starting position as a second round pick. So yes safety is definitely the biggest question on defense right now.
Bills' secondary room has more talent than they have had in the last 30 years.
Sanders and Walker are Dogs!
Feels like you guys are missing the mark on Edward Oliver. He's a 3-tech that's been blocked like a 1-tech his entire career. I remember when folks were excited about getting Star back, "now Star can eat the doubles, and Ed can hunt", but then I watch, and Star's being successfully blocked by one dude, and Ed's soaking double teams all game.
You have to be Aaron Donald to keep your sack count up while being a D-Tackle who is the focal guy in the D-Line, but Aaron is a generational talent. I think Ed is very good, and IF he could finally get a big (and strong) body next to him that could force a double team, then we'd see Ed really take off. But for his career, Ed hasn't had a 1-tech next to him who demands a double team. Then the Edge Rusher's play contain first, so they don't often pull doubles. Ed is the most double teamed guy on the Bills D-Line. …then we complain he's not making numbers. =/
Dorian had the most tackles!
Need to hear your guys thoughts on adding Elijah Moore to the receiver room.
Fine? Madman can be a game changer!
Jenna must really have a good credit to her!😊
Good point about the backers!
Maybe I’m crazy, but I think they should’ve re-signed Cook over Greg !!!
My first thought on the opening is Jenna isn't high…. Dan is
Wow,go Mike!
I've never been as happy with the roster as I am right now!!!!! GO BILLS!!!!!
Do we need a new Dan mug? Dan is confused ! 😂 Just joking.
8:56 Because Ed is a game changer
Let's go
Ed Olivers floor is his Ceiling because we know by now we’ll never see his ceiling.
What has dan seen to think the safeties have improved enough to be called "fine"
I get what Dan is saying but fine does not win Superbowls. I also think Safety cost us some games or made offense work harder. I like that there's no depth issue but we need excellent starters.
TJ Sanders is Ed Oliver’s replacement
I think they are going to use Carter in the role that smoot played last year, smoot allowed them to go with 4 DT because he could play inside. Carter played 5 tech in college. He will be a role player at 5 tech and 1 tech this year. Also, jones playing less reps will help him.
If bosa has 10 plus sacs this year do we resign him?
Hancock should count as a safety as well.
Highest floor: Greg
Highest ceiling: Joey Bosa
Lowest floor/ ceiling: Zion Logue and may not be in any real conversation.
Dwayne Walker
Lol 😂
It’s okay Dan it happens to the best of us 😂
Dan was wrong mug intro
Weakest position is NT. If Daquan Jones gets hurt, who can fill that position on run downs – without wearing down from repeatedly getting double teamed by larger OL. Is there anyone that’s a legit 1 tech besides him? If there’s a position where we have to give away our 3rd round pick (for the 3rd year in a row) at the trade line to get an old temp player because we didn’t have depth, it’s NT.
Don’t sleep on Daequan Hardy. He’s a very good CB, a dynamic athlete and may become our return guy. If he was 15/8” taller (=> 5’ 11”) with a little more length, he’d have been a 1st round pick.
Dan everything in moderation..EDIBLES do effect short term memory !!!
I’m thinking safeties might have the most capacity to surprise us dline needs to impress most but it’s has the potential to nail it all around if we can stay relatively healthy w solid depth I feel like beane played chess like he knew he was signing that wr while he was going off on that radio show he’s doing some Jedi mind stuff and has a vision
Bills fan since the 1980's. We had, of course, nothing like the access and depth of understanding then of the team, so I can just talk about feel. For what it's worth, this draft felt like the push that puts them over the hump. That's about a scientific as it gets, folks. Great content from Buffalo Plus, you have become one of my favorite Bills podcasts.
As much as I love Tarron Johnson… Teams picked on him last year…. Run and pass …. and sometimes he looked like hot garbage…. We have to change the scheme up and play him only on passing downs so he's healthy for the playoffs….
