Bills sign Trent Murphy

The scouting report that you posted describes him perfectly. He is not a great athlete but he is maximum effort player that when the film is broken down shows that he played well and responsibly. When watching a game he doesn't draw much attention because he lacks the explosiveness and flash. Without question he is the type of people and players the wrestling coach wants on his roster. I'm ecstatic. 

 Good 3 cone and solid vert. He isnt von miller but has good measurables.

What?  Hughes had an excellent year.

 

There are fans who are against picking Darnold or Rosen because Rob Johnson was from California. So I'm not surprised some fans cant get over 1 season, 3 years ago, where he had a few bad penalties called on him (even though a couple of them were complete BS, like when he got flagged for patting his own teammate on the helmet).

This does NOT mean Lawson or Hughes is on the way out (although the way things are going, never say never).  A few years ago the Bills were so stocked with D linemen they could roll out two complete four-man lines without much change in performance.  Guys got old (Mario), guys left for FA (Branch), guys got rich and then lazy (Dareus).  Whatever the reason, the Bills need a massive rebuild.  This seems like a good signing at a reasonable price.

To answer the questions that have followed my tweet about Jerry Hughes staying put with Trent Murphy addition, the same goes for Shaq Lawson. #Bills want as much DE depth as possible.

Well there goes my trade idea. Bills front 7 is a LB and DT away from being pretty good.

My son, a big Redskins fan, just sent me a message: "He's a bum and is always getting busted for steroids or getting injured."  I assume Beane knows what he's doing on this one. 

 

Perhaps the Bills have decided to not spend money on what's left of the FA quarterback crop and will draft two quarterbacks, another Redskins thing.  To those who say it will take two first round picks to move way up, why not have one of them be next year's first?

 

 

Before his ACL/MCL injury, he played in all but one game in three years. 

 

 

@Yardsperpass put up some clips of him getting around the edge. He isn't going to be Von Miller flying off the edge, but looks like he can get around OT's with some speed and has decent hand usage. 

 

 

They desperately needed help at DE, so i'm happy they're doing something.

I don’t remember ever watching the guy play. I just assumed that scouting report would accurately describe him. 

He's the type of guy whose best description is that he is a "football player." He's the antithesis of Dareus. You don't have to worry about him because he is the self-motivated type. If there is a problem it would be more due to working too hard to the point of exhaustion and obsession. He's a terrific pickup.

Scouting Report: He’s a blue collar player, with a good motor. Murphy is relentless in pursuit. What he lacks in athleticism he makes up for in effort. He brings his lunch pail to work everyday. He’s a smart player that is the 1st guy in and the last to leave. 

Not a high motor - only good???  Also missing a hard hat??  WTF   Bills overpaid.  So done with this team
