Nix and Penix both have shown way more arm talent on their rookie seasons than I thought they had based on their college play.

Seems like the Bills might have come into this one a little too cocky. We'll see how they respond to an early punch in the nose.

Nix took some time to get comfortable, and has had the benefit of a good system, but he's grown so much.  The confidence and decision making has been great.  

I've seen people rag on him due to benefiting to environment and being a glorified manager, but he's by all means looked great this year.

Yeah, I wasn't all that high on Nix as a prospect but there's no doubting Sean Payton's offensive coaching chops at this point.

Gotta remember, Drew Brees wasn't Drew Brees until Sean Payton got a hold of him. He was more in the "solid starter" type category before Payton turned him into an all-time great.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
