Seemed like he ran by the QB a lot of the time, opening up a huge lane for the QB to either run or step up and throw. I could be wrong, it just seemed like he did that pretty frequently though I saw that too. Zone defense. how Bortles beat us btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the same time, a Defensive ends job is not to run by the QB and lose contain lol It might be his job to turn him to run actually. The DT should ideally would cover that gap, LB or even Safety should be ready. Play design or is Hughes freelancing ?

He’ll prolly take a pay cut I don't think they'll ask him to take a pay cut or he'd be willing too. It's not like he is making that much. 2018 34 $2,450,000 $550,000 $400,000 - $3,400,000 $550,000 $2,850,000($6,400,000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 He's ok. He shouldn't be a starter, though. He's the type of guy you want to rotate through. If he is back, that's fine. If he's gone, that's fine too, in my book. We definitely need to focus on interior defensive line and linebacker. If we can sign Cousins that will free up a lot of draft capital to focus on these and other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I have no issues with the Lorax but it's not like he's a spring chicken and he certainly didn't have the year he did last season although played the best game of his career in the playoffs against the jags. They likely didn’t make him any guarantees, and they don’t need to. He’s under contact. Unless they tell him they are going to cut or trade him, he’s assuming he will be back and was indicating the role he will expect to play in the defense. He knows things could change, all he’s doing is talking about what he knows today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping they can get a good QB without using both 1st rds..would like to see Star and draft maybe Roquan Smith or Josh Allen at ILB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's listed at 245 lbs right now. I think he could easily add 10-15 lbs in one offseason. Just now, 3rdand12 said: didn't he play DE coming into the NFL ? Or am i thinking of someone else ? He was nearly a 300 lbs defensive tackle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I was surprised this did not happen more this year, guess they just no one to put at OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened more towards the end. I think, correct me if I'm wrong anyone who is reading this but I think his LB role was reduced after the Tampa game in which he was worked in coverage all game.

Adam727 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I was actually thinking he'd be a cap casualty this year partly due to his salary and partly because I think he was playing out of position at LB. I like the idea of moving him back to DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thank goodness. I love the guy, but he’s really been hashed this year at SLB. It’s not his thing. He played well in a few games, but he’s a pass rusher imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea of moving him back to DE. If this is true, expect some changes at the LB ers group. Humber is at ST imo. Brown is up for argument. Bills have chased off many a decent MLB over the years, so i remain guarded about Preston. Seen some good play by him mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
