Chinn to Buffalo makes a lot of sense.

Chinn is an in-the-box safety/hybrid LB. He actually does not fit what Buffalo needs, which is a replacement for Micah Hyde who's a rangy FS. Maybe put in a tad more thought before starting inane topics, thanks.

They run a three safety defense. It’s an interesting model. It’s actually what snow deploys on our defense with hartsfield, woods, and Chinn. The only thing we are fuging up on side is the assignments between the three.

Good coaches use good players. 
 

im sure Sean mcdermott and Leslie Frazier could put him to good use.

No it doesn't. They lost a deep FS. We're wasting Chinn playing him as a deep FS. He needs to be playing an in the box/short zone style SS like Kam Chancellor did in Seattle. He's basically a prototypical cover 3 strong safety.

Plus, he's a talented young defender on a rookie contract. Those are the types of guys you keep to build around. The types of guys we need to be looking at moving are overpriced vets that are liabilities for us but could be contributors on a contender. Guys like CMC, Robby Anderson, etc. We need to be clearing cap and jettisoning guys who will age out before we're likely to be in a position to contend. We need to be hanging onto guys like Jeremy Chinn.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
