BuffaloRush Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I see that the Bills have signed a guy named Trent Murphy. based on the big contract they gave him, it means that the former #1 draft pick Shaquille Lawson is probably not going to be playing much DE. It really makes me wonder why, he was the #1 pick overall and should be starting. Why was he ever drafted in the first place? I mean he was a 4-3 DE that was drafted in Rex Ryan’s 3-4, yet he can hardly play in the 4-3? WTF So so if we signed Trent Murphy to play DE from Washington then what happens with Shaq? Seeing that that he is classified as AFWDP (Another Failed Whaley Draft Pick) I really think the Bills are going to give him away for peanuts. Like a 6th or 7th round draft pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Traded can still happen. But I think the plan is to rotate and keep them fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 McDermott also rotated guys in Carolina. Greg Hardy, Mario Addison, Charles Johnson, Kony Ealy...need multiple ends Ther was waaaay too much Yarbourough and Cap Capi at times during the year. Also when you really need a sack you can go Hughes-Kyle-Shaq-Murphy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaq cant pressure the QB. It’s a miracle he even had 4 sacks. He just has no pass rush ability.

Not every DE that is good gets 10 plus sacks. It's not all about how many sacks a guy gets. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 You do realize that 260+lb DEs get tired and can't play every single snap at 100% right?

Like I said Capi Capi does a better job getting to the QB and is almost as good against the run I remember in the Jets game there was a stretch were they seemingly avoided running the ball to Shaw Lawson's side. Second he was subbed out...they ran to his side. Capi didn't stand out as a real find to me in the pass rushing dept., but perhaps he is as good as you say he is. I'm not buying that he's equally effective against the run as Lawson though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, don't know if you have ever watched football before, but 4-3 or 3-4, there are two defensive ends in either formation. As others have stated, players don't usually play the whole game, sometimes they come out, thus maybe they need more than just 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a 6th or 7th round draft pick Shaq isn't going anywhere. They rotate DEs and he is a beast in the run game. Just no need imo to trade him, he still has a ton of potential and high ceiling,worse case , he's a run stopping specialist, best case he turns into a complete DE and we can keep him Murphy and Hughes fresh.
