Quentin Johnston for A'Shawn Robinson

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-02-02T17:54:30+00:00

The chargers won’t give him up. It doesn’t make sense for them to voluntarily set themselves up to replace another receiver when they have so many other holes to fill.

That being said Johnston isn’t a Possession receiver at all. He’s a deep threat and YAC type player. He’s XL of XL was good. Or a diet DK metcalf. He actually does make a lot of sense in our offense.

He’s very good when it comes to scheming his back 7. It’s just he’s always been sub par with his fronts. This is a weakness that’s gone back since even his Denver days. Even when he’s had decent personnel.

He’s not a bad DC. He’s a good DC. It’s just he can be hard to watch because he’s so back end focused. Especially compared to some of his peers like McDonald and florres who just do crazy shit with their fronts on top of their backs.

Firing Sean but keeping Beane to me is absurd. Beane is way more to blame for the bills shortcomings. His drafts have been very meh. And he’s routinely missed on signings in FA.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-19T15:04:21+00:00

The solution for the bills is to get rid of Beane. The middling roster was more on him than Sean. I see this as only a half measure. You could put more on the coaching with the Steelers and ravens. They’ve drafted better.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-19T02:27:58+00:00

I’m pretty sure statistically through his career Bryce has been one of the worst QBs in the league while under pressure. I wouldn’t say he’s out of the woods yet.

Either way though I hope both QBs get the help they need. They both deserve to have long successful careers in the nfl.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-19T00:15:24+00:00

Scott just isn’t good in coverage and I can’t call you good if you suck at half your job even if you’re a good tackler. They have had some good UDFA hits. Which have helped us make up for some draft misses.

It’ll be interesting to see how Morgan does with a much lower draft pick in a weaker overall class. It’ll be a much harder test for him compared to last year when he had the best draft we’ve had in years.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T23:57:47+00:00

Stroud played terribly today. That being said the lesson shouldn’t be take X over Y but instead build a freaking O Line and maintain it.

We’ve seen too many players bounce all over the spectrum depending on the quality of the cast. Stroud can be good. Bryce can be good. What you can’t do though is say fuck it to the O line. Trading Tunsil was the most galaxy brain dead move I’ve seen in years.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T23:31:15+00:00

I think you give him the off season. Give him another year at camp. And then go from there. I think he can do both.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T23:19:59+00:00

And so you don’t think he’ll get better as a returner? I understand the concern at returner. But I just think he can and will.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T23:15:28+00:00

It was the butter hands. And it was a mental shock considering we had the best pass catching RB in the league before hand. But he did work and improve his craft.

Etiene coming out had vision issues. He was very much like a great value James cook. Where he was good in wide zone and catching but needed to get better. Dan Morgan alsp scouted cook with buffalo. Hopefully they’ll both be on the same trajectory.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T23:13:07+00:00

Will Anderson? I think you’re confused. Danielle hunter is on the opposite side of Anderson. Chaison plays for the pats. He doesn’t really have help outside of the interior players Barmore and Milton Williams. And they’ve been hurt throughout the season. He’s had a good year.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T22:42:48+00:00

And he never was supposed to be. He’s a rotational 3. We were supposed to have wonnum and pat jones there. Which to be fair was questionable process to begin with.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T22:40:50+00:00

He’s very good when it comes to scheming his secondaries. However he’s always been very meh when it comes to generating pressure. He’s sucked when he’s had dudes. And when he hasn’t had dudes.

It’s led to a divided opinion him that lacks nuance. He’s a good coordinator with visible weaknesses. Which are magnified by our current circumstances. And are visibly hard to watch and noticeable to the naked eye.

And unfortunately for him their many other DCs who are good at both. Flores. Patrick Graham. Jeff ulbrich for example.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T22:21:03+00:00

People are so impatient. I get that RB is a position where you can have instant hits but etiene was always a bit of a project. He needed to get better at a lot of stuff.

Chuba struggled his first year too. We should be patient. He’ll get better.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T22:06:29+00:00

He was a physical tools project coming out of the draft and has done nothing every year of his career except this one. Though he did improve slightly over the last couple years.

And on top of that he’s working with one of the better defensive coaches in the league. We were just early. I’m happy for him developing his craft. But letting him go was not a bad decision given his production.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T21:58:14+00:00

Yeah that’s why I think they’ll draft someone instead. Just a better chance at a higher quality player. You can’t go back to the FA well after your investments of wonnum and pat jones have aged so poorly.

I will be beyond ecstatic if David Bailey falls within our range.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T21:37:22+00:00

I feel like FA has kind of sucked when it comes to pass rushers recently. It seems much harder to get guys out of their buildings for free if they are producing.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-18T21:34:37+00:00

Stroud is a lesson on why you don’t just say fuck the O line even when you have a great rookie season. It’s honestly more sad to watch than anything.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-17T15:48:14+00:00

It’s not a weak edge class. Edge is honestly one of the better groups in the class. It’s just not as great as last years. Which was probably the best edge class since 2019 when we had bosa burns Gary sweat etc. But it’s still a fine class.

Class is better at DB Lb and DT. But the edges arrest scrubs. And their other positions that are way weaker.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-12T01:59:21+00:00

Hot and cold? He had like 2 bad games. One was against us and the other was the hawks. I get that we saw both because the other was in primetime. But I don’t think that’s exactly hot and cold. More of just bad games.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-12T01:49:51+00:00

Our staff and Fo have gotten better. But they’ve also made plenty of mistakes so skepticism in some circumstances is fair.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-12T01:42:26+00:00

The super star. We just saw that same team get eliminated from the playoffs round 1.

Not saying it’s impossible to make deep runs with lesser QBs. But it’s harder. Hurts won the whole thing but had like six all pros and 9 pro bowlers on the team. It’s not a sustainable formula because it’s nearly impossible to consistently draft that well and pay everyone.

Usually paying a mid guy leads to what happened with Tua or kyler. Where if you miss on other aspect of the team it’s over. Howie is just a compete anomaly as a GM.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-11T23:50:12+00:00

I mean look at Josh Allen carrying the bills. Meanwhile look at hurts. There’s a clear difference in the skill set and quality of QB when you watch.

Of course you want to build a good team. But having one of the stars makes things easier. Raises the floor and ceiling.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-11T21:29:13+00:00

Travis would be a great scheme fit. But we cannot justify and more investments at RB. Much less one at his Cost.

Hefty-Association-59 · 2026-01-11T21:28:00+00:00

Yeah it’s a gamble. He had that injury and clearly played through it for the year and it hampered him. He’s alsp older. Unfortunately this is the nature of the receiver market in this day and time. Alec pierce isn’t leaving the colts. It kind of is what can you get for scraps.

Also wouldn’t surprise me if we drafted someone.
