Alphadawg7 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Im little surprised not more excitement and talk about Harrison Phillips getting to move into the starting lineup. I know it’s a bummer that Kyle hurt his knee to create this opportunity, but man I am very excited about this kid, almost as much as Edmunds, and can’t wait to see this kid this week play with the starters. Ive been very impressed with him so far and very much excited to him start this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyBatty is alive Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 He has been outstanding. I think he was misused at Stanford or not up to his potential, the Bills are discovering he can be a penetrating DT and cause havoc in the backfield instead of just standing his ground. I saw him run down a scat back in the Carolina game about 12 yards downfield. I think he is going to be a steal just like K Williams was as a 5th rd pick.

Soda Popinski Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 McDermott said in his press conference yesterday he kind of shelved Phillips when Kyle got hurt as a precaution. Now I don't know if there is a greater complement McDermott could give than that, obviously he thinks enough of Phillips that he believes if Kyle goes down, Phillips is the guy, no development, no learning curve. Kind of how Kyle just kind of came in and started playing all those years ago. I don't think people are less excited, but Phillips didn't play much vs Cleveland, for good reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCBills Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) I think we might be better off rotating Kyle in for Star and Harry, then vice versa. Kyle still brings a ton of value as a DT in a rotation. Bringing a rested Kyle in on passing downs could supercharge the pass rush.

Bangarang Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 If we’re being honest here, Kyle hasn’t been the same player for a while. Hopefully Phillips can be a good replacement 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benderbender Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I know this is sacrilege, but being unable to call it quits after their prime is common on our DL. KW, Aaron schobel, Kelsay, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 He has been bang solid, average to me so far. For a 3rd round rook that is pretty good. But not something to get excited about yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had little at DE beyond Hughes the past few years. With all of that, I’d still argue that Williams might have been their best DL even at his age.
