Do the Bills express interest in anyone that we're not interested in?

The Bills are interested in everything and everyone. The moment we should start to worry that they have an inside guy is when they install bojangles and OMB at their stadium.

Overview
Active defensive lineman with an impressive combination of agility and athletic ability. Saunders might need to find his fit as a one-gap nose tackle in a 4-3 defense as his lack of consistent, in-line anchor could be a concern on the next level. He has been a disruptive force against a lower level of competition but flashed some of that same disruption during Senior Bowl practice week and an elevated level of competition. If he can improve his conditioning to become more disruptive for longer stretches, he'll have a chance to become a solid rotational defender and eventual starter.
Strengths
  • Quick, strong slaps to displace blocker's hands and separate from the block
  • Potential to become above average hand-fighter if he plays faster
  • Above average feel for side-stepping or clubbing lateral blocks
  • Able to split double teams when he's allowed to work the A-gap
  • Slap-swim is go-to as quick-win move off the snap
  • Better athletic ability than expected with tight-quarter twitch
  • Bounding feet to make sudden attacks to blocker's edge or spin out of blocks.
Weaknesses
  • Lacks sustained effort throughout game due to conditioning
  • Needs greater urgency to get off blocks more consistently
  • Squatty frame with short arms
  • Can be engulfed by size and power
  • Gets walked out of his gap against down blocks
  • Unlikely to control point of attack in the pros Lacks desired pass-rush attributes to transfer college sack production to NFL.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By CRA · Posted

      yeah, I can get a little of that.  But that's not what he is posting in his argument just now though.   He said people wouldn't even concede to the literal ability to do it when pressed on the literal ability.  I have never seen that.  He maintains it exists somewhere.  I mean, using anomaly games to make arguments about players just isn't the way.   There wasn't a defender within 10 yards of our guys on 2 of those 3 throws Sunday.  No one within 5 on the 3rd.   That's not Bryce Young answering questions about his play downfield..  That's Bryce Young taking advantage of coverage busts by a bad D.  Which hey, that's part of the game too.  Recognition and seeing the field.   It can't totally be dismissed.   That's still good play.  You want your QBs to make those plays.  But it's not getting into the long standing critique of BY IMO.

      Adam Thielen on Young

      By strato · Posted

      Deserved, I wouldn’t use that word. Asked for? For sure. Am I upset over it? No.  People forget that AT was throwing his helmet in frustration last season over his QB’s ineptitude. The same QB was pretty inept to start this year, no guarantee AT would have helped him in those games any more than he did last year.  Just sayin.  And Dan doing him a solid probably did not go unnoticed by players around the league. I think it increases his rep with potential FAs. It sure can’t hurt it.

      You think that was the fault of the guy that was lighting it up or maybe the bums around him? Funnily enough, those bums are still being bums in his absence. Who would have thought!
