Darby and philly

Recommended Posts

Basically got Darby for Benjamin. Matthews will move on. But also the reason we got Gaines who I anticipate we'll re-sign. I'd rank White/Gaines/Hyde/Poyer a top 3 secondary and all are young! They are going to be even better with the inevitable influx of talent in the front 7. 

The Darby trade doesn't bother me one bit , obviously wasn't a fit for this scheme, and McD knows his secondary.

Sometimes players are different people depending on if they are winning or losing.  A player who is a great teammate on a winning team can be a crappy teammate on a losing team.  Plus they felt he was suited for more man to man type coverage than zone.  

 

We aren't always going to like the moves they make.  If you look at them in a vaccuum they might not make much sense.  They aren't building a team in a vaccuum however.  They have a plan and anyone who isn't in their plans is not going to be here, whether we like it or not.

He's been awesome this game. Granted it's a blowout. Not complaining about anything just happy for the guy.. ok, complaining a little not a fan of the trade.

Darby also played great against Atlanta. He basically shut down Julio Jones (basically, not totally) without help. Julio usually demands double coverage. Darby has played well in every game I've seen him play in this year. But he evidently wasn't buying into the "new administration" and was not a scheme fit according to Peter King - http://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/index.ssf/2017/08/ronald_darby_didnt_buy_into_buffalo_bills_new_administration_says_peter_king.html.

Darby still had life on his rookie contract, weird move. 

Philly without Wentz is boring to me.  Hope they win tho. 

 

 

If Foles plays like he did tonight against the best defense in the league, there shouldn't be much of an issue.

And the Pat's defense is weak.

 

Unsure if this is sarcastic. They do a good job in terms of keeping points of the board, which is clearly the most significant, but even that they trail the Vikings. 

 

It is not so much about the Pats being a bad defense, which they aren't, statistically average, but not bad. It is that Minnesota is a lot better.

Pretty sure Darby was not viewed as a good scheme fit here. Good for him,  and all ex Bills that are no longer on the roster and doing well. Just because they are doing well doesn't mean it wasn't the right move. The constant gnashing of teeth over guys that are no longer here is tiresome (and pointless).
