Other than that I'm really optimistic about this roster, I think they got better and deeper this year and most importantly, they got a good center. I'll be sacrificing a goat for Morse's health each Sunday morning at 9am if anyone wants to join me for breakfast immediately thereafter.

They improved at center, but I'm not sure Morse wouldn't be in Buffalo if he were still considered "'good" by them.

Fortunately, I think an above average center can be enough to win the AFC South division.   Scherff and Morse will need to be really good as a duo.

Morse was a salary cap casualty. The bills went into this season $44 million over the cap, so they cut 4 guys to clear space. They'd already prepared for this by having Connor McGovern on the roster and then they drafted Sedrick Van Pran in April. That's a model for how veteran replacement should work, let go of expensive older guys before they fall off the cliff, not after. I think we'll benefit from Morse's last high performing season this year, I don't know that he can do it at 34 next year, so I wish they'd drafted a guy already instead of keeping Fortner.
