Also worth noting re: Shakir, is WHEN his big moments happened last year. I felt like there were a bunch of times he made the crazy play exactly when we needed it. Especially in the playoffs - wild card td was absolutely the moment that put that game away and his performance in the divisional was great (his td is still a glitch in the matrix to my eyes).. clearly he doesn’t shrink when shit gets heavy
Rousseau - yes. Brown - if he stays healthy and plays like last year or better than yes. Shakir, Benford, and Bernard are tracking right. Cook to me is the question. Not a 3 down back and too many dropped passes. Really curious to see how Ray Davis looks. If he looks good that may be the tell regarding Cook.
At the end you said “hopefully the cap keeps going up” which I couldn’t disagree with more. In order for the cap to go up prices have to increase, $500 for Sunday ticket is stupid, and the price to go to the game is quickly elevating above being a family outing into strictly a splurge with friends gig where everyone attending has to pull their weight cost wise. If the cap stays stagnant or goes down it affects all teams not just the bills so the playing field remains even. So my vote is for more affordable football for everyone. Also instead of those massively bloated salaries for the few players it would be nice if the cba designated a portion of the revenue share towards life long vested player health care like 40% owners, 40% players 20% health care or something.
That’s not the way beane operates, I agree developing talent is the best way vs cost but every move he made this year says to me we are looking for a big free agent or trade contract next year
@@DeepThinker-gc8nz I Disagree completely, I think Beane has seen how much of an impact bad contracts are and while Beane may not Have operated the way I described in the past, he will start to transition to more young draft talent, possible cheap trades for low risk high reward talent on an affordable contract and mid tier contracts in FA. no trades for major Skills players with top 10 salaries. to me the moves he's made are to maintain salary stability while setting up the future to retain the Bills talent already on the team. We'll see what he does in the coming years though.
He runs his drafts to buy proven talent later, I haven’t seen anything that suggests he has changed his whole strategy. He tried to skip a rebuild this year, I don’t think we are looking to play the long game of developing receivers. There will be a major signing next year.
Its awesome coming home from the graveyard shift and Joe has an episode waiting. ❤
He’s the best. I listen while I’m driving to work or coming home or sometimes while I’m doing the dishes lol. really helps pass the time
Cleaning up the house listening to joe clean the clocks of other. “Analysts”

Thanks, Scott!

Benford availability and Bernard was injured during the playoffs, so...
If cook has another 1000 yrd season he deserves the extension

Joe knows football I must say I agree with another of his takes
Terrell Bernard played fantastic last season but he wasn't availeble in the most important part (playoffs) because of injuries
I would draft a wide receiver with one of the picks in the first three rounds for like the next two to three years
That’s not the way beane operates, I agree developing talent is the best way vs cost but every move he made this year says to me we are looking for a big free agent or trade contract next year

What is the disparity if there is one between the money players get from staying put with their team verses moving on to a new team to get paid?
I definitely would not pay cook 10 mill a year. You can find cheaper rbs who are more complete players anywhere.
You better extend Allen by the end of the year
Ray Davis hasn’t taken a snap in the league yet? Let’s not throw cook to the market before there is more than speculation to justify it
I will be shocked if James Cooke is on this team next year. In fact, I think there is a small chance we trade him this year.
Why listen to the idle chatter of other podcasts, when you can find facts and measured opinions with Joe?
Lets stop over paying playes which Beane likes to do..
