Given the economics, I really wonder if Murphy makes the team. They have, what, 10 d-line penciled in as of now? How many do they keep? 8? 9?
Maybe it depends on Darryl Johnson? After week 7 he was a ghost. That would leave Hughes, Murphy, Epenesa and Addison as DEs. Star, Oliver, Butler, Harrison Phillips and Jefferson as DTs.
Last year they carried and dressed 8, plus Lorenzo Alexander. So 9 isn't out of the question.

This is him doing analysis of player deployment and roster building. Maybe poor choice of words on his part, but it’s not “confirmed from a source” type of thing.

Does AJ Klein takeover for Alexander?
I think technically yes, Klein takes over the starting SLB spot for Alexander. However, they're in nickel about 75% of the time. Alexander typically played less than 50% of snaps per game last year. So the other half of his time, as a pass rusher mostly on third down, will be filled by Jefferson, Epenesa or one of the other DL additions.
I do like that Klein can provide depth at all the LB spots as well.
Does Trent Murphy stay a starter, does he make the roster or does he get cut? How do Addison and Epenesa fit in?
I think they keep all of them. McDermott likes to rotate all his Dline spots. Hughes is their top guy and he only played 64% of defensive snaps last year. I expect a 60/40 split between Hughes/Addison, and Murphy/Epenesa. Prior to the draft I also expected Jefferson to take early down DE snaps, then inside snaps on third down or passing situations. However that may now be out with Epenesa's addition, but it does provide an option if there are injuries. .

I haven't received a federal tax refund since 2013. I have to pay every year. I have no idea if I'm eligible for a stimulas check and haven't looked into it. Anyone else in the same boat, and if so, should we expect any stimulas?
You should be eligible. If you haven't provided information for direct deposit you should receive a check in the mail.
Like you I haven't received a refund since 2017, i provided the direct deposit info last Friday. Haven't seen anything yet.

Anything interesting ?
I'm not a normal listener of that show, but I found Beane to be pretty candid in his answers and some of the questions gave decent insight into the Bills processes.

I always owe and don’t use direct deposit too. If you don’t do direct deposit for a refund your check won’t get mailed until the end of the month. And if you check the irs website you need to punch in exactly the address you used, capitals, hyphen, etc to see if you have anything coming.
and before I get judged, I give back to my community anonymously, kinda like here lol
This is my issue, I've owed small amounts each of the last two years, so we will be waiting for a paper check.

From NFL.com. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001108562/article/nfl-draft-guide-each-gms-best-pick-top-value-pick-tendencies Thought it was an interesting comment on Beane.
Interestingly he hasn't bolstered the RB group. All we really have is Singletary and Yeldon. Despite what it says above, I've seen recent draft projections with the Bills taking Jonathan Taylor from Wis in the 2nd rd. I would be real happy with this pick. A 1-2 punch of Singletary and Taylor would take a ton of pressure off Allen
I have a hard time envisioning Taylor making it to them at pick, but perhaps with a trade up it could happen. Beane has also showed, and stated on his call last week, that he is not afraid to trade up to get a guy he really likes.
Regardless, I doubt their plan is to go into the season with only Singletary and Yeldon. Historically they like to have a larger-sized short yardage back on their roster (Tolbert, Ivory, Gore). There's a couple of these guys expected to go in the mid rounds of the draft including:
AJ Dillon
Zack Moss
Antonio Gibson

I wish I could be as optimistic as so many Bills fans about Allen. I'll be ecstatic if this is true.
That's really not that high of a bar to clear. Darnold and Mayfield are other viable competition for that spot? I'm sure Browns and Jets fans might think differently but I think he's got that spot going into the year - unless I'm forgetting someone.
KC - Mahomes
Den - Lock
Oak - Carr
LA - Tyrod
Cin - Burrows?
Cle - Mayfield
Pit - Roethlisberger
Bal - Jackson
Mia - Tua?
NYJ -Darnold
Buf - Allen
NE - Hoyer/Stidham?
Jax - Minshew
Ind - Rivers
Hou - Watson
Tenn - Tannehill

Almost positive this has been refuted
I think what was refuted was that McDermott interviewed Beane, or decided on the hiring.
I have a hard time imagining that McDermott didn't suggest or offer any insights into why Beane might be a good hire however.

Including the above article on CBSsports.com
The basis of that article being the tweet from Matt Parrino, who i think is the only person that rumored there was interest in Gordon. It makes sense to me that the Bills would be interested. I was more interested in the comment that it came down to Buffalo and Denver, which I guess I didn't clearly state in my above post.
-
Do we know that the Bills were in on Gordon? I didn't see anything in the Rappaport tweet. Wawrow said last night Bills had no interest.

Taiwan Jones RB apparently has signed with the Bills. I'll assume he is back to return kicks.
He's a good specs player, coverage teams too. 3rd active RB in a pinch.

Yes! I've decided to grow a beard for the first time in 5-ish years. It's coming in much more gray this time.

I agree. I'd like to keep Dawson as a TE1A. Give me someone sure handed. Greg Olsen would have been ideal. Put him in on third down or goal line situations but use Knox more prolifically as a down the field threat.
Delanie Walker, Tyler Eifert could be Olsen-esque available TEs

I actually don't know about that last part. This edition of the Bills has been to the playoffs twice since they've come on (no Beane for the first one). Thats incredible based on the last 20 years or so. I think part of getting Diggs is sort of a "no more excuses, Josh" move. They've done everything they can for him, and have clearly built a competent roster around him. If another year goes by and he's obviously the weak link, maybe they're in the market for a QB, but I think T and K will give them more time.
Just a note, Beane was here for the first playoffs and that entire season. Only he was added as the GM post the major portions of Free Agency and the draft during the prior offseason. Through that season however he traded Watkins, Darby, Dareus and Ragland; bringing in many of his own players.

Darcy Regier gets way too much crap around here for having two Cup final teams, and a perennial playoff team with serious ownership issues and limitations for almost his entire tenure.

The timing of everything always made me feel like LaFontaine was anti tank. Resigned a day or two after the Miller/Ott trade.

This reminds me of the Lucic incident when he railroaded Miller for fun and no one did anything about it.
I don't think it's anything like that and probably similar to things said before and after every shift.

I'm not downplaying how great he is, he's objectively incredible. I'm saying if the Bills drafted him, he wouldn't have been nearly as successful. Where you go entirely matters for a QBs success.
I think if Mahomes is a Bill it's probable we think alot more of the weapons on the team as well as Daboll and McDermott.

This is the good part. Shows a lack of meddling and frustration with the results. Exactly what I want out of an owner. Now TAKE ACTION FFS.
The follow up with Friedman is confusing to me. When I heard the initial report from Friedman my immediate thought was this is ownership showing their displeasure to the fans.
-
I'm not sure what's average for an NFL RB, but Yeldon has 6 fumbles in 5 NFL seasons. 482 rushing attempts.
Singletary had 4 fumbles in 1 NFL season. 151 rushing attempts.

Buffalo Bills: 2020-2021

I think the unregistered portion is speculation. He was arrested for unlawful carrying of a firearm. This morning Sal Capaccio stated on WGR that this is different than illegal carrying of a firearm. Just guessing but the unlawful portion may be due to his being intoxicated.
