njbuff Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 This is what the preseason is for. For guys like Fede trying to keep their careers alive and earn a roster spot on an NFL team Does Fede make the Bills 53 man roster? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 He hasn't been that impressive to my eye as he made too many mistakes against actual NFL players and only showed something against 3rd/4th stringers who will be out of the league come September.

Chandler#81 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 We’re pretty thin at DE.. unless we ..um Trade for a superstar DE currently holding out, I’d guess yes. Murphy is a near complete unknown to this date and Lawson is Lawson.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Y got praised multiple times by McD. I agree with you that I think he's making it for sure. I don't know about Fede but I think Shaq could be in jeopardy. It looks like he's trying hard to me but there just aren't many results. Edited August 20, 2018 by White Linen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaq has done well in camp and also did very well in the 1st preseason game. Fede will be on the outside looking in I believe with the top four DEs set. Could change, but that's the way I see it.

Shaq’s played well and he’s not going anywhere with Murphy being MIA since he’s been acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's three defensive ends and one worthless gimp. We'll need four. Fede has been the "best of the rest." I think he makes the team.

wppete Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Fede has looked good. Not sure if he makes the 53 though. I really hope the Bills get Khalil Mack somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Shaq isn't going to live up to that first round grade or become the pass rusher he never was, but he is a very serviceable end who can set the edge. That's important when Hughes is just as likely to try to spin inside and lose contain. We gearing up to get gashed by the run again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Murphy is shaping up to be the EJ Gaines of the DE position. Do we want to go through that again? There is an argument for Fede to make the team unless a better option is found, and I'm not holding my breath for Khalil Mack to be a Bill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Lawson chase a RB down and shove him out of bounds, albeit 15 yards downfield, was nice to see. The weight loss and getting himself in better shape seems to be paying off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That rather assumes Murphy is ready to go week 1. Given that his previous come back lasted less than a whole practice I think we have to start to ask ourselves whether he is going to play or end up on IR - at least for week 1. These injuries that linger through camp, Glenn last year, Watkins the year before.... have a horrible habit of becoming real in season issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
