    AJ Epenesa weight loss

    I feel like his game is supposed to be power, and I've heard analysis saying they think his problem right now is he needs to get stronger. So I really don't understand the weight loss. He looks slight out there.


    I think management wanted him to drop some weight to improve his speed around the edge. It hasn’t made any difference. My main concern with AJ was his speed and bend when we drafted him. I want a player that can bend and cut, not someone getting swept to the outside.

    Defensive Assessment Thus Far

    My fear is that if Epenesa cannot beat out Trent Murphy is he going to be even a solid player? Epenesa seems to have a nice burst and his ability to win with his arm length and hands is a big advantage considering O-Lines are holding like crazy. I would like to see Epenesa get a lot more playing time.

     

     


    The fact that Epenesa hasn’t beaten out Murphy is a testament to how disappointing he is. Murphy is terrible.

    The bills somehow turn around and beat KC Monday? And nobody is going to care about last night. It just will be very hard to picture that happening today

     
    I want the Bills to win, like most people here do, but sometimes it’s ok to be realistic in predictions. I just don’t see how this defense slows down Mahomes. Maybe if everyone was completely healthy, I’d feel different about our chances. The only way I see us winning is if Allen completely carries this team by scoring 35+ points.

    Yeah, we need them because look at how the last ten Super Bowl winners have them. "Elite," as you went out of your way to say.

     

    Oh, wait, slmost none of them do. 

     

    Frank Clark is very fine, but he's not elite. The Pats never have one. The 2017 Eagles? Nope. 

     

    You do find one with the 2015 Broncos, but that's the only one.

     

    We don't need one. It would certainly be great if we could get one, but you don't need one to win a Super Bowl, you just don't.

     

     

     

    Please.

     

    Neither of these guys is elite. Nor can we afford one next year.


    Elite is a relative term. There is yearly elite numbers ( top 10) and generational elite players. I’m mostly talking about top 10 any given year. While obviously you don’t need one to win a Super Bowl, if you have a QB like Allen, it will almost certainly improve your chances.

    We've played 5 games with a grand total of 10 sacks. Addison has 2 which projects him to 6 for the season.  Murphy & Hughes combine for 1 sack. Our opponents now know they have time to carve up our backup dbs. At least last year Jordan & Shaq generated pressure. This year is no hurried and a nice protected pocket. If you want to get a laugh watch Daryl Johnson give a lame attempt at a bull rush. Without any pressure on the qb it won't matter how talented White is.


    Fitz looked like an all pro against us. We won’t win a Super Bowl without elite pass rushers. Almost every team that makes it has one or two. Pittsburgh always manages to draft them and WRs. Pittsburgh’s scouting department deserves a raise.

    Trading multiple first rd picks and paying a guy 20+ mill a year doesn’t seem to be Beanes way of doing things.  
     

    Players that will get a massive raise, from us or elsewhere:  Josh allen, milano, Darryl Williams, Edmunds.  

     

    Players with expiring contracts the next couple years that will need to be replaced or given a raise/extended-  Every DB not named white and Poyer;  We don’t have any worthwhile LBers not named Edmunds or Milano, every DL not named oliver and Epenesa has an expiring this year or next, RG (whoever that may be), Smoke Brown.  
     

    the defense will likely have a LOT of turnover in the next two years similar to what we saw on offense the last 2.  Considering our QB will be making 35+ mill a year instead of 5-6, we have to make the most of our draft picks imo.....and not trade multiple 1st rd picks for another player that will make 20 mill a year instead of being under control for 5 years making 2-4 mill a year


    While I trust Beane drafting for the most part, he hasn’t proven to find competent pass rushers. Oliver has disappointed as well.

    With the COVID landscape, I'd be extremely hesitant to throw valuable draft capital at any player.

    Beane and Mcdermott decided to invest in a heavy rotation, group pass rush approach. It hasn't worked out yet, but it is not time to blow that model up.

     


    To win a Super Bowl, you have to have 1 or 2 players on defense that can absolutely take over a game. We only have White. It sucks watching other teams getting 10+ sacks a year from players, but we can’t.

    We have used a ton of draft capital on the defensive front seven the last three drafts.  It’s inexcusable not to have come away with at least one pass rusher...


    We suck at drafting people who can get 10 sacks a year. Drafting elite CBs are the only thing we do well on defense.
