Hangman officially leaves Buffalo.

we need hangman to stay but he won't.

he wants a chance to start and deserves one but he isn't going to get one here.

he is going to be offered a bigger contract than what we can afford to and should pay a back up.

let him go and let us fix other issues.

My longtime beef with Hangartner has been that he's way better as a pass blocker than a run blocker. He doesn't get anywhere near the same upfield push as Kalil or even Vincent, and he certainly doesn't have the ability to get to the second level and block downfield that Kalil does.

That said, those things weren't as big an issue last season, and I'd still want him back.

he routinely gets pushed back facing guards. If the Bills think he's going to be able to block Jenkins, it might be because of knowledge of him, not because he'll somehow push a guy 50 lbs heavier than him who gets better leverage and has much more talent.

I like GH, he redeemed himself a little last year and was fun playing the goal line TE down the stretch. But, if you're going to get paid like a vet, you should have more drive in the run game. At any rate, a very good player for a 5th round pick, we got all we could out of him.

A cheap vet won't be hard to find.

    • Well even if we took diverging paths getting there...our overall assessment of Shough is the same (bolded) lol so I guess that's what matters.  What you call "playing at a level that looks like a veteran starter" is the same thing I'm referencing when I talk about his poise.  Although I still wonder how truly "bad" of a team the Saints are.  Their defense is middle-of-the-road, and their offense does have some good pieces (Olave, Juwan Johnson) outside of running back which is the position most everyone agrees is relatively plug-and-play.  I'm not going to pretend to know anything about the majority of NFL team's o-lines lol but I'm assuming Saints are not great there, although Shough's pressure % seems to have been quite low (and steadily improving) over the last four weeks (20 -> 16.7 -> 15.0 -> 13.0) so maybe they've been playing better as of late, or perhaps Shough himself deserves credit for that.   Some of the language I'm hearing about Shough, including talking about how he's way above league average in several categories, makes it sound like Shough is having a rookie season on par with like a CJ Stroud who established himself as basically a Top 5-10 QB his rookie season.  Maybe that's on me though, I don't mean to attribute anything to you that I'm sure you don't agree with.
    • Since your being selective (and somewhat deceptive) with your comparisons, I'll throw this up so we can compare apples to apples. Both Young and Shough have played against the Rams. Young went: 15/20 (75%) for 191 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 147.1 QB rating Shough went: 15/24 (62.5%) for 176 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT with a 81.2 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Buccs. Young went: 21/32 (65%) for 206 yards, 2 TDs, 0 INTs with a 102.5 QB rating Shough went: 13/20 (65%) for 176 yards, 0 TD, 1 INT with a 65.4 QB rating   Both Young and Shough have played against the Falcons. Young went: 31/45 (75%) for 448 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs with a 123.2 rating Shough went: 30/43 (69.7%) for 243 yards, 0TD, 1 INT with a 74 QB rating   Seriously, in what world is Shough a better QB.
    • Freddie? For this game? Seriously? I don’t get it. Hope we get the best version of Freddie tonight.
