The O-line has been fine. Run-blocking has been well above average, and pass protection usually only breaks down when Allen holds the ball too long. Not that o-line depth is ever a bad thing, but I would say interior defensive line depth is a bigger need. - buffalofan19
Here plays why you need a TE who can do all three.
Lee Smith is in there on run blocking (which is why his td was "so open")
Knox etc on passing plays.
so you are dictating your offense with the tight end. |

|

Yes, but each te has its own skill set I want a guy who takes the good from each into one guy.
I heard Gronk is available lol - hubie
I like OJ Howard too. I just think we already have a log jam at tightend. |

I agree o line has been fine. But could use depth.
Pass rusher

Then o line help / depth

Here's a cool stat since this board loves stats:
In 17 games, Josh Allen has 7 comeback wins for the Bills (would have been 8 if Clay would have caught the ball in the endzone in Miami last year).
The other 4 qb's drafted in 2018 rd 1 have a combined 8 comeback wins
Josh - flaws = yes, balls = HELL YES - turbo044
I've honestly never seen a player people react to like this guy. Even on the field, opposing players seem to want to kill him.
There's no middle ground. He's either the messiah or the worst QB in the league. And it isn't even based on his play. Minds were made up before the draft.
Personally, I think he's got the typical problem every young QB has, which is information overload. There is just too much going on too fast. When it gets to the fourth quarter, he seems to be able to tune that stuff out and just sling it. I almost would like to see the bills just go shotgun no huddle to start a game to get him in the zone of snap-drop back- plant- gun it-repeat. |

There is a lot of merit to this. Most teams simplify things on both sides of the ball late in the game due to fatigue, and the fact that one small missed detail can be costly. Defenses become easier to read too. I think Allen benefits from that as well. |

If the Bill's do it, AJ Green and Carlos Dunlap for a 2nd and 5th this year and 3rd the following. |

Yeah - I like your no-huddle idea.
Two things I like(d) about Josh better than the other qbs-
1. He had a ridiculously high wonderlick (like 42), much higher than the other qbs = he should be able to process info better.
2. He seems to have a short memory - when he makes a mistake he moves on. Darnold was absolutely shattered last night for instance |

So was Allen against New England, though. The difference is that the Bills defense played lights out and kept them in it. |

Our O Line is horrible, ZERO pass rush, DB's can't cover anyone, and the QB fumbles too much.......
Wait, I'm in a Buffalo forum. This isn't about my Giants.

They were kind of discussing this on WGR today when I was on my way back from lunch. Tasker said that you have to stop being afraid of failing and just do what got you where you are in the first place. Remove the fear of failure. Maybe he sees in all these comeback games that he's already failing at that point. I guess he really has nothing to lose based on what Tasker was saying. (he said it much better and explained it much more in depth than I am, it was interesting so I'd suggest going back and finding it in the audio vault if you want to know more.) |

out of curiosity as im not positive on the rules. Are the 9 games accumulating over his "junior" career?
like what if he did the trail this year could he do the same next and still send back?

If Ullmark shows me something this year I'd resign him. If he is about the same as last year, he's just a backup in my opinion, and I'd be looking for someone. A guy to split time in 2020-2021 with Hutton, and then to split time with UPL in 2021-2022.
Could be that guy is Ullmark, but I need to see something more first. - matty12345
Hard to imagine Ullmark not being qualified this year. It's set up well to have the 3 of them compete. UPL can play himself into the mix.

Here's a description of the rule:
The Slide Rule affords NHL general managers the opportunity to see their notable prospects between the ages of 18 and 19 in an NHL uniform for up to nine games without burning a year off of the player's entry-level contract (ELC).
UPL is 20, so he is no longer a slide candidate.

May have been. If the question was, can a contract slide twice, then the answer is yes. Nylander did that.
