Tyrod ain't make them bench Miller.

I never said I disagree with what they did. I said I understand why, but it was a bad move. I said that the day he was traded, in a thread here. Marcell is going to be standoffish. Life has been hard for him. He's from the ghetto. Tons of adversity in his life. BUT the Bills need him ON THE FIELD, more then they need him off the team. At least IMO. Players knew he wasn't going to be her long term. The writing was on the wall. Players were invested in him. They knew his background. Watch the Kyle interview. They knew what he was. Chemistry is important. And despite what people feel, Marcell is still a top 3 NT in football. Except in the run game. He's never been good in the run game. He's usually out of place, up field. Great player. Better person. Not a NT like Marcell.

run defense. pass defense. McDermott. Beane. Oline.

They ran a "We are a team" concept. Then they traded Marcell and added a savior receiver from the outside. You can't claim team and love and my guys and add a talent like KB. Chemistry changed.

They do this when the line is getting killed off the snap.

I think it was more he wasn't a kiss ass to the coach. I like McDermott but he runs a cult of personality club. Marcell is never going to be a guy who trusts you. He's from the ghetto. Marcell is a prove it to me why I should trust you, guy. He's not going to take into a cult style from the HC until he proves he's worth trusting. I know many kids like him. They will be standoffish the entire time you know them. Then when they trust you, they will die for you. Literally.

They had an out year in 2019.

You are judging him against unrealistic standards. In this defense the DT is not supposed to have 10 sacks. Marcell was playing the same role as Star. Star has 10 sacks in his entire career. Marcell was never going to be what he was in this defense. This is not the same defense he was in with Jim Schwartz.

He was good in every game. People don't understand, if you have to double Marcell it makes the other defensive linemen more effective. If you can man black our defensive line you can get an offensive linemen into the second level.

And the bigger issue is we won't be able to make these big timers, one dimensional.

I disagree. I think they thought they could win with Thornton. I think they believed the hype about the "team." It's clear they believe losing Marcell wouldn't effect the defense.

This is not true. Marcell was good on run downs, even if he didn't make the tackle. This is the same crap they sold when they traded Jason Peters.

50% McDermott 50% Beane

Games left will tell the tale. We'll see. Also, it doesn't matter if a team is dead last in rushing. This team without Marcell in there on run downs will not be able to stop the run.

Think what you want. When Marcell don't play, we don't stop the run. It's been that way since he's been here. Last week the raiders were playing their 3rd and 4th string back. If they had marshawn he would have run for 200 yards. All players get expose if you can't stop the run.

If you don't get middle pressure from Marcell the QB can step up in the pocket. Bills fans continue to get screwed into believe this bullcrap about players. We can lose Jason Peters because we have Karl Malone's son. This is the same crap. We can lose Marcel we have Cedric Thornton. Same **** different coach/front office.

Because they get to play the Bills, Jets and Dolphins.

He's been getting run over in the run game since he began his career. Kyle is a pass rushing DT. He has no size and has never been good against the run.

They didn't have Lynch. If he played I suspect it would have been the same. They have no talent at tackle without Marcell.

Clearly missed Marcell. Bills need to draft 3 linemen in the first 2 rounds. 2 tackles and a real End.

That's all. Should have kept Marcel until they had a better option.

Is Star Lotulelei a free agent?

Don't underestimate how hard they will play for McD against his mentor. I have them losing too, but I think they will play their best football against KC.

Detroit Lions

Dumb trade, but I understand why they did it.
