Wrong again.
Too busy believing your own generalizations based on snap counts that don't factor in anything including him leaving on game early, missing one game, and then working his way back from injury. Keep swinging though.
One play? Your evidence is a tweet of one play? Come on. Get serious.

How much do you think Pegula has been involved in the wild roster moves the Bills are making? Since Herschel Walker was traded to the Vikings I don't think I've seen a house cleaning like this. What do you think?
He approves them. What else do you think he'd be doing?
-
So Darues is used on Run downs hmmm. So again what DT takes thise doubles on Run downs to free up the LBers. Kyle?
You just hurt two positions with this trade the NT and the 3 Tech
For what a 6th round Training Camp Body in 2018?
I said a little more. Dareus is not in every first and second down. And yet guys like Thornton and Washington and Kyle still get the job done.
-
Easy question to answer take the contract out doesnt matter still paying it
Is the Bills DT rotation better with Dareus or
without Dareus?
If games he decides to show up, then worse. In games he decides not to, better.
-
Have you looked at the situational snaps Dareus Faced compared the the other DTs. I bet not. That is why you have no idea what you really are talking about just using an overall percentage
I bet so. They use Dareus a little more on early downs.
-
What DT is picking up Dareuss snaps.
Dont you think that Worthy and Washington are effective because they are not playing all the time and facing double teams all the time?
Dareus played about 30% of snaps. Somehow the run D survived and did well with the other DTs the other 70% of the time.
-
Okay, who can effectively take on double teams to keep the LB corps clean?
They will do as they've been doing the 60-70% of snaps when Dareus was on the field. Rotate in the other DTs. And as they have done all season they will be a very good run defense.
-
No they don't.
Yes they do.
-
And Saint Doug will LOVE it because with Saint Doug Marcel was a two time probowler and first team all pro
And before he got paid so much and decided to become a pile of goo.
-
Intelligence hmm was Dareus traded from the team before they are playing for the division lead? Or was he HELPING that team up until this week?
So now you remove a player the real only player that can stack Double teams and logged 40+ snaps last week and you think the team is better? Then you question my intelligence ha ha ha
Do you understand subtracting a negative is a net positive? That's 4th grade math.
They have other DTs that can take on blocks, and not pay a fortune to a guy that only shows up when he feels like it.
-
I think thats fair which is why I included the contract part. You should have spent the next 25 games (or whatever it is maximizing the player. You used home a lot last week (comparatively) and he was good. After next year you let him walk (or force a pay cut if he turns a corner). You can teach someone to buy in but you cant teach talent.
How many coaches need to try before you would admit he doesn't want to be taught to buy in?
-
Yoi are paying him this year ANY WAY trade or not.
So even if he isnt a scheme fit he is better than ANY player you would replace him with
You are not paying him as much as you would have.
Marrone wouldnt have gotten him if he didnt think he could work with him. Obviously
And just watch what happens.
-
Unless we make a move for someone like Pryor. I dont think that you get better taking on dead money and getting rid of talent.
The issue is you keep insisting Dareus is talent, when his level of play has eroded.
-
What are you talking about? One of his former head coaches just traded for him!!
And when he was here had problems with the guy. Watch. He'll have the same issues there as he did here.
-
Call it what you want. I feel for your football knowledge if you think this trade makes the Bills better THIS year.
I feel for your general intelligence if you don't understand 4th grade math and if you say a team playing for the division lead is going backwards.
-
So were Randy Moss, Corey Dillon, Aaron Hernandez, Golden Tate, Percy Harvin, Marshawn Lynch, etc... Sometimes you need to overlook personalities that you dont like if the talent (and contract) warrants it. You need to find ways to make it work.
Three different HCs can't get through to the guy. When does it become his and not other people'a fault?
-
Bizarre post? Yes they create holes for no reason.
So now instead of one DT needed in the offseason you now need two
That IS a created hole
Subtracting a negative is a net positive. 4th grade math.
-
Okay. I'm sure there's something in the CBA to allow for fan's perceived level of effort.I'm speaking from a coach and not fan perspective. Get a clue.
They had to send him home from a preseason game. He was losing snaps. Either suspend him or they could have just made him inactive every game andceat his salary. And would make no sense.
-
i think he plays hard. I dont think he prepares hard.
Perhaps. They came in, gave him a clean slate, and he didn't show up.
-
Bills forever spinning their wheels. Create holes just to have to fill the created holes.
There is never any progress
Now need another DT in offseason so instead on one you now need two.
Need a plethora of WRs
Still need OG likely two
A QB
RB is also a big need
DBs still a need
Toss some LBers in there.
Win Sunday they can be first in the division. But no progress. Right.
-
Suspending him for what?
Not wanting to play hard.
-
Shaq has been a ghost
Sets the edge very well.
-
They didn't suspend him, but he will be inactive for their game on Sunday.
There you go. So I guess we should have just kept suspending Dareus and pay him huge bucks to sit? That would make sense.
-
Yes and said that they arent trading him. They arent going to sell low. They are trying to get him back engaged and let him help down the stretch. He is a WAY bigger headache than Dareus.
Who are you getting with $2M and a 6th round pick that make it worthwhile? Id take Dareus over that through next year all day.
Then it's good you're not a GM. Taking an unmotivated guy at a very high cap rate is no way to build a winning team.
Face it. Several different coaches now, guys with different styles from Marrone to Rex to Sean. Different defensive schemes and DCs. And he simply does not show evidence of getting it. So spare me the bit about how it's the coaches that are responsible for motivating him. Coughlin will destroy this kid.
Dareus traded to Jacksonville!

Bull. Three different coaching regimes so far in his career and he had issues with each one. It's him. It's not coaching.
