Buffalo FamBase

It’s July. Why am I putting us through this? Three reasons: (1) I’m waiting to hear if I have Training Camp tickets and I try to work off my nervous energy at this computer keyboard rather than the refrigerator. (2) See Reason 1. (3) See Reason 2. In this month’s scenario, which lacks any sort of clairvoyance, the Bills miss their “chance at the dance” and have to draft at #29. During the season, the Bills seemed to lack the second “Alpha” WR, Micah Hyde was showing his age, and the bigger backs (Harris and Murray) were unable to churn out the ground yards, YAC, and stick-moving receptions. Moreover, Morse had trouble staying on the field, and both starting OTs (as well as the Bills’ answers at depth) came up short. Von Miller got back on the field, but was not 2018 Bronco Von Miller. The IDLs looked better as a unit, but DT1Ts DaQuan Jones will turn age 32 on 12/27 and Jordan Phillips turns age 31 on 9/21. Poona Ford was nice relief, and anchored well, but really lacks size for a gap-clogging role at one-tech. The 3-tech, alternating Oliver and Settle, looked dominant, but it takes a quartet, not a soloist. Lots to get better at if we want to pick #32.
