NFL Trade Deadline Day: Key Moves and Grades for Every Trade

NFL Trade Deadline Day: A Flurry of Moves The NFL trade deadline day was filled with excitement and surprise, living up to the hype that had been building for weeks. With significant trades involving star players such as Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins, and Amari Cooper already making headlines, the deadline saw even more action as teams made strategic moves to bolster their rosters. Here’s a…

I haven't really scratched the surface about these mercurial musician figures in my discussions on them and their works that continue to astound us with their strong ability to be quite surprising. Nonetheless, I would say Miles Davis should be seen as one of the most prominent members of the category thanks to him basically remodifying himself a lot throughout his career. Look, he could've coasted on what he did during the 50's and the 60's, yet his 70's remain one of the most shocking explorations in … well, we should say jazz, he was the master of the idiom, though his albums from In A Silent Way basically went into the weirdest directions, causing many to be baffled by Davis' direction. However, Davis' 70's records show you the sort of freedom only jazz can provide.

Not Who But What the Buffalo Bills Should Draft

The Buffalo Bills should draft the best player available.  Also, the best player available is a receiver.  This astounding coincidence that limits the choice to one position makes selecting easier.  The certainty is as comforting as the reason for the constraint is vexatious.  Their Michelin-starred chef shouldn’t be limited to Top Ramen.

Noting how few they’ve added in the Beane era is almost as deflating as noting how late they were selected.  It’s not to bash the players selected as much as it is to note a team with a generational quarterback should add them way earlier.

Search for Justin Shorter’s NFL stats and be advised to try adjusting the filters.  Khalil Shakir has been pleasantly productive for the 148th pick, which is an endorsement of him as much as it is a condemnation of Brandon Beane’s unwillingness to add someone at the same position earlier whose success would surprise less.

Beane’s other selections seem like a dare to irk his meal ticket.  Marquez Stevenson is being coached by Wade Phillips in whatever USFL/XFL hybrid draws desperate fans this spring.  Gave Davis might be catching passes from Mac Jones, while Isaiah Hodgins wonders if Tommy DeVito will ever be offered cash to appear at a pizzeria again.

Not drafting a first-round receiver is a criminal offense that should result in arrest if it continues one more time.  Beane can avoid bounty hunters by changing his ways.  Of course, one of those first-rounders was used on a passer named Josh Allen.  Selecting Ray-Ray McCloud and Austin Proehl in the same year shows the roots of an underwhelming habit.

A tight end in name only tapes an asterisk on Beane’s drafting tendencies.  Skeptical fans might count the Dalton Kincaid choice as  if he were called a big slot receiver.  Names can distract from roles, as tight ends have left behind the era where they were blockers who were technically eligible to run routes.  Now, Allen needs certain receivers.

Not every player loss is equal.  Stefon Diggs is inscrutable elsewhere.  We no longer waste hours attempting to to ascertain if he’s disgruntled distracts from wondering if he’s diminishing physically or just in this offense.  Houston can fret about that while Buffalo worries about finding his replacement.

That’s enough indirect help.  Receiving what Allen throws is the supreme method for assistance.  The Bills could add a running back who’ll entice opponents to stay in the box, an offensive lineman to create more time to throw, or a a linebacker who’ll keep down opposing scoring.  But none will benefit directly like a field-stretching boundary wideout who’ll reach the end zone as quickly as the best quarterback in our universe can launch it.

They may already have the best available at particular positions.  Drafting by need is often mocked as a short-term solution.  But a seemingly myopic approach may work best for their situation.  You might think it’s naturally better to take a Ferrari over a Subaru if neither had been selected.  But drafting for a Buffalo winter means you’ll get more use out of the ostensibly blander option.

General managers can save Magic 8 Ball queries for asking if they’ll be famous.  Drafters needed to be more psychic in the past.  Now, the era of semipro college-athletes means they’re not seeking starters for three years from now.  Your draft coupon for a target is valid in September.

If the Bills have a ranking of every prospect, it’s a test of self-honesty.  Only those who compiled it know if they’re lying about who they’d take next regardless of position.  Do you think they’d pick, say, a quarterback?  Or would they slide down a few spots on their own depth chart to select someone to field throws from such a player?  They can show me the draftee hierarchy and I promise to keep it secret.

A little fib about the overall ranking is welcome if it leads to making the most obvious decision outside of firing Don Granato.  The best time to do what’s right is years ago, while the second-best is this draft.

The stubborn refusal to do what will please the city’s most important figure might be the sole thing more aggravating than the Sabres wandering in the desert during the playoffs.  Wasting talent spurs historical regret.  The Bills don’t want to end up like the Lions with Barry Sanders with a stubborn refusal to add blocks of granite for him to pirouette past.  They’ve enjoyed more success than a historically woeful franchise, which is in part testament to the quarterback’s excessive prominence.  But the lack of ultimate success is frustratingly binary.

Drafting Josh Allen’s BFF is the most obvious choice.  Those entrusted with the decision must prove they’ll make it.  The front office can certainly find a player of the category who qualifies as a late-round reception.  As with his career, there are only so many chances.

RICHARDSON HITCHINS: I SEE MYSELF BEING A LEGEND IN BOXING

Richardson Hitchins has told Matchroom’s Flash Knockdown podcast he’s on the path to becoming a legend in the sport – and the next step on that journey sees him mix with former World title challenger Jose Zepeda at the Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida, on Saturday, September 23, live worldwide on DAZN.  

Flash Knockdown - Season 3 Episode 3 is out now via all streaming platforms, including Apple and Spotify by searching ’The Matchroom Boxing Podcast’ or by listening on the following link: https://pod.fo/e/1e96a7   TICKETS FOR ORLANDO ARE ON SALE NOW AT TICKETMASTER.COM

  Hitchins (16-0 7 KOs) is full of confidence ahead of his first headline act and is fresh off the back of shining at home in his last outing, putting New Jersey’s John Bauza on the canvas during a shut-out win at Madison Square Garden, and the Brooklyn ace now lurks with intent at #6 with the WBO and #7 with the IBF in the 140lb rankings.    Zepeda (36-3 27 KOs) represents a significant barrier to Hitchins’ plans to move into World title contention though, but Hitchins believes that the Californian, who has challenged for World titles at both 135 and 140lbs, is the perfect opponent to prove that he’s ready to    “Now my foot is in the door, headlining my first show against someone who has a great name in the division,” said Hitchins. “It shows my pedigree and skills that I display to get to this part of the journey.   “Zepeda has competed on the World stage. It’s a level up from my previous opponents, but if I am who I believe I am, I should win this fight and possibly get him out of there.   “There’s a lot on the line right now, but I’m not focused on the belts. My job is to go out there and dominate Zepeda and show who I am, then, we can look at the landscape of the division.   “I see myself being a legend of the sport, who has mastered the craft of boxing. I want to inspire the next generation, if you see the progression in my career from my amateur status to now, I can relate to the young talent coming through.”   Hitchins also reveals how a visit from Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis boosted his preparations and gives his pick for the potential showdown between Regis Prograis and Devin Haney. The episode also features World title challenger John Ryder talking targeting Gennadiy Golovkin and Jaime Munguia, IBF and Ring Magazine champion Jai Opetaia talks his upcoming defense against Jordan Thompson, leading trainer Jamie Moore picks his perfect dinner party lineup in Food Fight, and commentator royalty Mike Costello takes another trip down memory lane with a certain Smokin’ Joe Fraizer, plus there’s a cameo from Eddie Hearn and more!   Hitchins’ clash with Zepeda is part of a stacked night of action in Orlando, with the Welterweight division will move one step closer to crowning an undisputed champion on the night as WBA and WBC champion Jessica McCaskill (12-3 5 KOs) and WBO belt holder Sandy Ryan (6-1 2 KOs) meet for three of the belts.    Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams (14-0 10 KOs) press his claims for World title action at Middleweight as he tackles Steve Rolls (22-2 12 KOs), and will Orestes Velazquez (7-0 6 KOs) will defend his WBA International Super-Lightweight title to kick off the main card against Mohamed Soumaoro (13-1 6 KOs).   Khalil Coe (6-0-1 4 KOs) continues to rise through the ranks at Light-Heavyweight, and ‘Big Steppa’ headlines the Before The Bell action and will be looking for his third KO win of 2023 against Kenmon Evans (10-1-1 3 KOs). Super-Welterweight Jeovanny Estella (12-0 3 KOs) and Super-Flyweight Jasmine Artega (10-0-1 5 KOs) tasting action over eight rounds while Bantamweight Roberto Rivera Gomez (3-0 2 KOs) kicks the whole night off over four rounds, with all three fighters to be matched imminently.

Saving the Buffalo Bills Season by Not Saving Ken Dorsey’s Job

Ken Dorsey getting fired is the first nice call made involving him.  Naturally, it wasn’t his decision.  The closest the Bills have recently gotten to a win involved realizing they weren’t playing right.  Wondering whether they would either suffer a hangover or dodge one they deserve isn’t thrilling tension.  It’s almost a relief they found unbelievable ways to lose, as they finally have to clean up their act.  Having 12 guys on for a missed field goal that would've won them the game is a historical screwup even by franchise standards.  Hold on: I’m looking up new swear words.

The Bills are cursing themselves like fans are cursing at them.  The notion they’re destined to fall apart plagued the Dorsey era.  Who’s going to make the next colossal mistake?  An animated pie chart is fun unless you look at the slices.

Ken’s coda featured drama about whether it was going to be an unimpressive win like against the Giants and Buccaneers or another brutal loss.  The latter again disappointed a league that thought the Bills would thrive.  Numerous night games turned dark.  It’s reasonable for fans to anticipate players are able to perform tasks like holding footballs.

Josh Hurt My Hands is the Netflix series about Bills receivers.  Gabe Davis used to alternate marvelous and lousy games.  Monday, he alternated between targets.  Stefon Diggs getting ignored led to everyone paying attention to Dorsey.  Waiting to use him didn’t save Dorsey’s job any more than holding off way too long to throw to the reliable Khalil Shakir.

Casual screwups are normal.  This season has brought a new phase of Buffalo sports infuriation.  I’m almost impressed this franchise invented novel methods to torment its fans who thought they’d seen all the ways they could be hurt for the crime of wanting to finally enjoy football.

An offense packed with individuals who can’t be trusted aren’t the fault of the coordinator unless his energy really was that bad.  The past tense can bring modest relief.  James Cook really set the tone.  It’s easy to read too much into the first play, but the Bills are big into symbolism.  Josh Allen can’t hold the ball on a handoff, but he played to his utmost otherwise.

Allen entering nightmare mode embodied bad vibes.  His aggravatingly careless turnovers summarize how absolutely nothing will turn out happily.  An insane risk on Buffalo’s second play after carelessness on the first made it feel like they were playing fate.  Humans should know better than to think they’ll triumph.

The quarterback hasn’t been making worthwhile risks.  If there’s such a thing as a skilled gambler, it’s one who recognizes there’s lots of losing ahead.  Knowing the risk yet following through is part of the game.  A quarterback who throws good bad interceptions sees coverage and still calculates the attempt is worth it.  Knowing a risk might fail is as close to an acceptable turnover as there is.  By contrast, Allen has been playing like he’s lashing out.

Buffalo is the place where people flip off Dorsey when he appears onscreen.  Chances will blessedly plummet.  Nobody can claim he’s a scapegoat anymore.  Committing too many errors to highlight was his best chance to keep a wholly undeserved job.  It thankfully didn’t work

Police should escort Dorsey and his bad karma out of the county.  He’d praise their shotgun.  His fetish for distancing the quarterback from the center was like a video game player insisting on using a certain rifle no matter the mission.  Jim was similarly fixated on the sniper rifle.  Sticking with that inapt formation on fourth and two during the second half’s opening drive was a dare to call Dorsey a moron.  Now, call him jobless.

Take your time to not take your time.  Not hurrying up slowed down the offense for just one more exasperating aspect.  Buffalo’s final touchdown was notably not Dorsey’s call.  The quarterback needing to improvise in order for the offense to work means the player did the coordinator’s job.  Making him redundant was already redundant.

The 2023 Broncos just needed one last unearned chance.  Not converting on opportunities was their identity until they faced a team that beat them at losing.  Buffalo remained in a game they tried their hardest to hand away until their guests just couldn’t decline.  Waiting for Denver’s receivers to out-putz their Buffalo counterparts was as fruitless as hoping missed extra points would be sufficient.

Sentencing Sean McDermott to reading every Twitter reply on the Bills account should only be the start of his punishment.  He shouldn’t take the social media manager job, as that person actually performs competently.  Special teams wouldn’t have been able to flaunt their struggles with Sesame Street lessons if he refrained from recklessly blitzing at the exact time to use the defense’s standard zone, namely when Denver needed just a field goal and was still out of range.  Coaching is as bad as coordinating.  That’s the McDermott balance.

Dorsey’s firing is a good start.  McDermott seems to have plateaued just like his team.  We miss when games that should’ve been more comfortable both before and during ended in frustrating wins.  Now, blowing chances that should be scientifically impossible has become normal.  

Looking for candidates has only begun.  It might have to substitute for seeking wins.  Detroit’s offensive coordinator Ben Johnson will be pursued relentlessly this offseason and should feel enticed by the chance to help Allen get back to meeting his unique potential.  Hiring a trendy option would not be a lateral move: the Bills ought to be in the market for a new head coach focused on offense and a fresh start.  I bet he wouldn’t have called those dumb blitzes.

This sport’s coach should be fired even before Don Granato.  The fact both unimpressive One Buffalo team leaders should be racing out of town sums up a doubly regrettable ownership tenure.  Terry Pegula is too busy counting his dimes to notice how much he’s lost.

It’s easier to fire a coordinator than replace the roster.  In Dorsey’s case, it’s fun, too.  But figuring who to blame is like a mechanic trying to determine what’s making that clunking.  Woeful play may be blamed on actual players.  They are the ones out there, after all.  But consistent flubbing may be a sign of poor coaching.  The fact the Bills are trying to determine it deep into November may serve as a sign that January will be free.    Losing more games by Thanksgiving than they did all of last season is an early indicator they couldn’t postpone heeding.

Arithmetic struggles were merely the culmination of constant unfortunate decisions both on and off the field.  Nothing looks right.  It doesn’t take an empath to sense the team is skewed.  Dorsey’s ability to shape the future was mortifying in what’s now the past.  The Bills finally did something to affect their own augury.  It’s uncanny how they underachieved once Dorsey got his way.  He know has ample time to determine why.
