With this we've really shored up the D-line, allowing us to focus on QB, LB, O-line, and possibly WR in the draft. I cant say that I agree with you on this. Brady is still the king of the AFCE. If th Bills plan on beating him then they need a heck of a lot better pass rush than they are likely to get with the current group. They need an interior pass rusher to replace K Williams, plus another DE that can rotate with Hughes and Murphy (even if he comes back fully from his injury and avoids suspension) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Murphy getting 7million I think it makes Hughes expendable at 10.4. But you never really know do you? Hughes is the only proven pass rusher on the DL. It would be a giant setback to lose him in a division with Tom Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll get a cpl more tackles to fill out the line. 6 months before we play. They’ve done a good job early. Day 1 free agency and draft to go.

They lost to NE last year because they couldn't score, and had little passing game. Not saying a rush isn't important, but you beat that team scoring points.Even the vaunted Eagles D got little pressure until the closing minutes in the SB. They need an improved passing attack and offense in general the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 This board is nuts with the Kelsay and Shoebel comparisons. You've never seen a white OLB/DL before? I suppose we hope he's another Paup? All the "roid cheater" chant... you think roid use isn't super widespread in the NFL? Really? What's bad is that his next suspension is 10 games so it is quite risk in that sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 This was our best signing of FA by far, Murphy reminds me alot of Ryan Kerrigan, high motor, powerful, pass rusher but also decent against the run.

Tyrod's friend Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Perhaps this has been written elsewhere in the thread, but ... this was among the comments as the guy came out of college. Process, process, process. Just high quality people first. It's things like this quote that would shock me to hear us taking Josh Rosen. "Tough, smart and hardworking with a throwback personality.

Victory Formation Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think he'll be marginally better than Chris Kelsay was. He is 6'6, he was slow before the ACL and I wonder if he can get back to 100%. I think if he were coming out in this year's draft he'd be a 2nd round pick. Jerry Hughes is also not getting any younger, by the end of the year it could be Murphy and Lawson starting together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Hughes is also not getting any younger, by the end of the year it could be Murphy and Lawson starting together. He is NOT slow. He's actually very athletic--for the last 5 draft classes (2014-2018) Murphy has the 7th best 3-cone time among DLmen and LBs. Given the relative lack of EDGE talent in this year's draft, he'd be flirting with round 1 consideration. The concern about return from injury, however, is a salient point.

He's athletic and has good speed. But I wouldn't say he is an explosive player like Von Miller or Haley. (Just using style of play as the example). Someone else smartly compared him to Kerrigan from the Skins. Without question he is an unrelenting pass and maximum effort player. He will never be considered an elite pass rusher but he will be considered a good rusher who plays his position responsibly. While Hughes can be suckered into plays with his maniacal desire to get to the passer Murphy plays his position as a pass rusher with a greater awareness to his other responsibilities. As I have stated before this is a terrific pickup from a number of standpoints. The wrestling coach is systematically adding players who fit his preferred profile. He is noticeably adding players who increase the intelligent quotient for the team. The HC reconfigured the defensive backfield last year with smart and intuitive players, and is steadily doing that with the roster. The McDermott profile is the opposite of the Rex roguish profile. Intelligence matters! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
