26CornerBlitz Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 For Harrison Phillips, the NFL Was Always His Why A young Harrison Phillips was singularly focused on one thing and one thing only. And every decision from age 12 on was made with that goal in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Gotta love this young man's character and attitude. People make the KW comparison due to his size and position, but his character is on the same level. I love reading these kind of articles. Maybe they're "fluffy", but there's a lot of good stuff in there. McDermott is a high character guy, and wants those type of players. I think we're going to be reading a lot more fluffy articles with similar content as a result. When the Panthers drafted Star and Kawaan, it changed their defense. Granted Short is a much better pass rusher at DT than Phillips, but their run defense and scoring defense improved considerably. Hopefully adding Star and Harrison has a similar effect, with Edmunds being our "Kuechly". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Quote Will that NFL shield on his phone’s screensaver be changed to something else? “My girlfriend Shae has definitely mentioned it a lot,” Phillips said. “She’s like, ‘Alright let’s change your background now. Can we get a picture of us?’ She’s like, ‘I’ve been looking at this thing for five years. Can we get something else?’” As Phillips sits and thinks about his girlfriend’s request, he’s contemplating how to get around it because he already has the next goal in mind. “Maybe I’ll get an I-pad and put what she wants on that,” he said. “Because if I do change it on my phone, unfortunately for her it’ll be the Lombardi trophy." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 We drafted Adolphus in the 3rd rd a couple years back. A 3rd defensive tackle that I thought had little chance to be a very good player. We draft Phillips in the 3rd and I think there’s very little chance that he doesn’t become a very good player. Dude is going be be a solid fixture that we can count on for several seasons. Can’t wait to see Tremaine running wild behind Phillips and Star. They’re going to be huge for his development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Dude has a Stanford degree. He is going to be fine either way. but I love this pick. Stanford is one of the few legit clprovrams that has real student athletes (besides Ivy League Alabama ). I will take their players on my team any day of the week.

An exciting time to be a Bills fan You know, I'm keeping my mouth shut with all my football friends in New Englandn- it's Pats and Giants territory - but I'm excited. I'm a big believer in McD, more than any coach in a long while. I talked myself into Gailey and even Rex, but McD is different. He really seems to know what he is doing. The right players are responding to him in the right ways. Kyle coming back was a sign that McD is doing the right things. The kind of guys they're signing and drafting is another sign. This team is hungry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I'd be happier with Chan Gailey as OC for Coach McD. I do not see any deep plan of offense staff yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your reaching on this one buddy. I also love McCoy and he is one of the most popular Bills players. Horrible Harry has the spirit of a Buffalonian though...no frills, a guy that is gonna work his tail off and has the passion for the game not just here to collect a paycheck and live the NFL lifestyle that some guys only care about. I guess you could slap the blue collar tag on him as well as it would be appropriate although that's not necessarily where I was going with this. Basically his personality will play well with our fanbase. I have no idea why you are so confused by that statement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RocCityRoller Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Really excited to see what Phillips and Edmunds can do to help transform this D with White on the back end. McBeane are very methodical in building up McDermott's specialty, the defense. Last year the Bills knew they could not rebuild the whole Defense, so they focused on a unit, the secondary. They invested in two under the radar FA signings and a high draft pick in Poyer, Hyde and White. They hit gold. This year the focus was D-line. Again 2 under the radar FA's in Murphy and Star L. Again a high draft pick in Harrison Phillips. I have to believe the thinking is that improved D-line pressure will immediately help an already good secondary and solidify the rush defense, forcing throws toward Poyer, Hyde, White and Davis. I expect McBeane to focus on LB next year through FA and draft. I believe none of the LB FA's will be big names, but steady contributors or guys who fit the scheme and process. I also don't think they expected Edmunds or Phillips to be available when they were in the past draft, so they moved to get the guys they wanted and it helped move along the process. LB is probably a year ahead of schedule if Edmunds pans out. I wouldn't be surprised to see 1 or 2 mid level LB signings and another round 1-3 draft pick on LB next year. I believe those LBs will fill in the weaknesses or compliment the D-line and secondary (pass rushing specialist, run stuffer, or coverage types) as needed. The big splashes will probably continue to be on offense next year with Daboll firmly entrenched as OC. Matthews and Zay Jones were probably supposed to be the big splash on offense last off season and it was a whiff. But they countered and tried again with Benjamin. Allen and Daboll are the obvious big moves this off-season. No one could have predicted the melt down at OL. I see a plan evolving and it actually makes sense. I hope Dirty Harry is a part of it for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
