starrymessenger Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Really surprised Bryant was still a free agent. He is a very good run stuffer and versatile enough to play in a 3-4 or 4-3. A bit one dimensional of a player but hard to think some team coming off of a weak year in run defense wouldn't have signed him as a rotational player. Maybe he wanted to be part of a good unit? If he was waiting on a good situation he might have found one. Bills will both be a good defense and should have significant playing time for him. Not much of a pass rusher but great against the run. He can spell MD or move MD outside (he has the quickness to play DE) and they can see the field at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 If we had Red Bryant on the team for the raiders game I truly believe we win that game. As soon as Marcel got dinged up.......we started getting ran on like crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as Marcel got dinged up.......we started getting ran on like crazy i think a lot of it was they weren't prepared for his absence and didn't make in game adjustments after he went out to try to make up for his loss. Knowing we won't have him so far in advance for the Colts will be a huge difference. Won't make up for him not being there, but closes the gap a bit in terms of prep and game planning.

As soon as Marcel got dinged up.......we started getting ran on like crazy yea, in schwartzs scheme we really got hit hard when marcell came out and spikes was removed for nickel packages. even outside the raiders game, it seemed like any gashing runs were against nickel looks with the d line rotating the interior (which was often MD and KW at the same time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Love the Bryant signing. A late bloomer but he became a good one. Woods...I don't know much, but hopefully they won't need him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lacy ran all over us when they rotated the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Don't discount Wood, he had a really strong preseason a couple of years back that netted him a job as an UDFA. I'm sure he suits up tomorrow, we'll see what he can do. I'll echo what everyone else says about Bryant though, great signing. I love the idea of an exhausted, beat-up and frustrated Guard finally thinking he gets a break when Dareus and Williams get pulled on a play only to see Red Bryant and Alex Carrington starring back at him.

Yep. There is a good argument that overall, Bryant is an upgrade to Wynn. It surely helps a lot in the opener with Dareus out. And it surely helps a lot of Rexy stuff with lining up in different formations that is tough for the offense to prepare for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Douggie Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 Bryant was a solid player for a while there. What happened? People get old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, dare I say... The defense is going to need a good rotation because odds are they are going to be on the field a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is going to need a good rotation because odds are they are going to be on the field a lot. It is interesting that you say that I think that Roman's offensive system will actually allow for more rest this year......they seem to understand that running the ball and being creative doing it is a good thing.......it takes pressure off qbs, controls the clock, and gives our D a chance to stay fresh REALLY liked what I have seen in the run blocking so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense is going to need a good rotation because odds are they are going to be on the field a lot. Don't know about that. If Rex and Roman succeed in fielding a good ball possession ground and pound offence the D might actually catch a break. Given that the D should be very good regardless, there may be a very productive synergy at play there between both sides of the ball. The O allows your D to rest. The D gives the O lots of good field position. yep, well put. And, dare I say... The defense is going to need a good rotation because odds are they are going to be on the field a lot. Sorry.

H2o Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 As an ND fan saw a lot of Cierre on the field. His Junior year he looked on the verge of being the next great ND RB. His Senior year he looked less that type of player. I remember he had a couple injuries, but he just didn't seem like the same guy. I hope he performs well for us. I wonder if he has PS eligibility left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeF Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Interesting story about Red Bryant's wife Janelle and her dad Jacob Green (NFL All Pro DE). Gives some insight into Bryant as well.

Dragonborn10 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 yup - seems to fill a nice role. Plus allows Rex to do some Rexy stuff with Kyle and Dareus that he probably couldn't do without a big fat guy like that. Totally agree. I think Dareus will get more time at DE with Hughes rushing from a two point stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
