I guess the Bills plan is have 20 DE's this year. Aren't they supposedly moving Alexander back to an exclusive pass rushing role? If so, it gets really complicated then. Yes, but Alexander won't be an every down player. If we can avoid drafting a DE this year that's good, since it is not a strong position in the draft. DT & LB is what we should be drafting.

Kmart128 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 So apparently I heard from a Redskins fan that he was an 3-4 OLB his first two years and was labeled a bust. After that they took away his starting spot and moved him to a situational pass rusher as a 3-4 DE. That's was his 9 sack season. So it sounds like he had issues in the 3-4 and going to the 4-3 he can really fit in nicely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcdermott was rotating a ton of guys last year. Its how he roles. It moght be nice to have someone other than cap capi rushing in a pivotal playoff game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Almighty Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Murphy, 26, was slated to miss the first four games of the season for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancement drugs. He will serve the suspension, despite the injury, forfeiting four game checks totaling $185,315 of his $787,591 base salary in 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmac Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Being in DC area I think this is a great signing..player out to prove himself,short 3 year deal and from what I remember this guy had a high motor when healthy..Kinda looks a lil like McDermott's bigger younger brother..love these FA signings so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaMilBill Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) Ugh. I'm not big on him. Reminds me of a Kelsay type. Plus coming off two big injuries. He's basically another Shaq Lawson.

elroy16 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 You guys remember all the times Kelsay was labeled a physical freak? smh... I texted my friend who has season tickets for the redskins. "hell fvcking yes that's a good deal. I'm pissed we let him walk. Ya'll got a great young LB who's only getting better every year. Deal won't look cheap in year 3." His opinion carries a lot more weight to me than the other washington fans (I live in DC area) not only because of the season tickets but he watches the all-22 (even after losses) and follows them much closer than anyone else I know. He's definitely a homer though, so might be higher on some guys than others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 (edited) I think we are going with a heavy rotation on the DL this year. We will add another couple of DT's as well via the draft or from other team's cuts. We now have Hughes, Lawson, Yarbrough, Alexander, Odi, and Murphy all for rotation @ DE. Once they fill out the interior then we will be shuffling guys like a dealer in LV. It will serve to keep everyone fresh Edited March 14, 2018 by H2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will wait for guaranteed money and terms. Seems to me he has a lot of upside IF he can stay healthy.

He’s proven very effective when he’s not the only one to fear. He gets after it. Big Hughes fan here. Trading him just makes us worse. We need 2 effective edge pass rushers. If The Murph is as advertised, we’re good along the DL. That was quick. Great Work Beane. Huge holes along the DL and they’re fixed in less than a day. Now fill 2 SLB, MLB and a nickel to round out the starting 11 on D Our DEs should be set with Hughes, murph, Shaq, Davis, Yarbrough and Odi. If Odi can show he can be a contributor I could see them moving Shaq. I’d prefer to keep him and see how he develops. He has to be miffed as a former 1st rd pick being replaced after 1 year as starter. We could use another young DT to eventually replace Kyle and Washington as the other rotational player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moving up to 7 puts us in a position to ease the fears of Indy or NYG missing out on a non QB player they like. If Cleveland, Jest, and Broncos go QB, that non QB player they like will slip to 7. Some great prospect is going to fall. Edited March 14, 2018 by K-9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
