Rico Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He did have a great game in Miami a couple years ago & that is always appreciated by me, but I do not miss him at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEpsYtown Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He was just a guy, who loves the Patriots, who was very slow and really hurt us in the playoff game. I think he was awful and Edmunds is a huge upgrade. It's not even close. Preston will not be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jpsredemption Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I wouldn't go this far...Edmunds was horrendous last wk but it's 1 preseason game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needle Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Preston Brown was more solid against the run than many Bills fans will give him credit for. He wasnt strong in coverage though and that doesn't work in this defense. He will stick in the NFL though. He's only 25 years old and not every defensive scheme will call for the same responsibilities. Pro Football Focus had him graded as the 5th most reliable tackler in the league. For whatever that's worth, and I'm not saying it's everything. We are better off with Edmunds but I agree with the OP. He will have some growing pains this year and I think it will be more often in the run game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there really is not...London was a beast but for some odd reason ppl seemed to think he only made plays after getting drug for 5 yards.

I liked Preston, seemed like a high character kinda guy & i believe we asked way too much of him. But the only way this Defense would miss Preston now would be for him to be the backup. Our LB corps is faster & T.Edmunds's potential vs Preston is well, heck its not even fair to compare the 2. Skies the limit for Edmunds. Preston? Well he's in Ohio. Best of luck!

quinnearlysghost88 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 We’re a top ten defense on paper. Maybe even top five. I’m not worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Preston is a smart, hard working linebacker with some physical limitations. I can imagine there may be a few times when the Bills will mis his experience. However, onece he gets aclimated to the NFL, Tremaine Edmunds has a good chance to become a far more complete linebacker. He's smart, a student of the game, hard working and has unbelievable physical talent that Preston Brown can only dream about having. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they will miss him but the guy was pretty durable and dependable from what I seen. With that said there are lots of decent players like him. He’s not irreplaceable for sure. I think the team will miss him somewhat. Edumonds will have some growing pains, Brown wasn't anything special but he was steady and a leader on the defense.

MJS Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Preston Brown is the kind of guy you want to come off the bench on a rotation and fill in when a starter goes down. He is a below average (but not terrible) starter, and a great backup. I liked him and I think he'd be the type of player any team would want... just not as a 3 down starter.

Flip Johnson Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He signed a 1yr/4M deal after weeks on the open market. I think that tells you the general consensus of the league. We may have some growing pains this year but we won't miss Brown. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
