John from Riverside Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 If they can find guys that can make real contributions even if they are not the starters it allows us to use more draft picks on offense next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda head scratching when it seems they are not trying to get anyone who can improve the worst part of the team. But anyways.....maybe they try and get a few offensive players soon, we'll see.

I had the same thought, but the skill set is different. What I was wondering about is whether he'd like to try fullback. Or even running back. Oh for the days of Refrigerator Perry. Unstoppable in short yardage situations. So we get Shady playing WR and a DT playing RB. Let's try Jordan Mills at LB, what could go wrong? The issue no one seems to be addressing is our bad D line. Could it possibly be at least partly due to Kyle Williams not being Kyle Williams anymore? Edited October 4, 2018 by Utah John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have some potential deals come together closer to the deadline. if we had a different oline coach, things could be a lot different and if it didn't look like a jailhouse break every play,....just maybe our receivers might look better. those deep outs to jones and those deep throws to foster will start happening.

TigerJ Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 An interesting acquisition. OK, he's not been a great teammate in Miami. I'd like to know a little more about why. He was drafted in the second round, but even then, he was described as a first round talent. He didn't like being in Miami. I don't know if there is anything McDermott can do to unlock the potential of Phillips, but the potential is there to make a team want to try. The Bills are not depending on Phillips to be a starter. He's a rotational guy. Given limited role they will be asking of him and the limited cost it's probably worth taking a chance on him. The Bills have a pretty good lockerroom right now. If Phillips is not a cancer, he could be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 This move tells me that McDermott may just be humble enough to accept that in order for him to build that culture he so desperately craves, he's going to have to deal with some guys who aren't perfect. In business, whether it be the NFL, IBM, or Belle Tire, you either adapt or die. I like the move quite a bit symbolically. Maybe they're finally catching on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a Tigers fan and speaking on their run of success, Jim Leyland noted that the team lacked a "dirtbag." He ascribed to the theory that having such a player was necessary for ultimate success. I think that's why a team among the best in baseball for 10 years never got a ring. That theory is even more valid in football than baseball. When this team allowed Tre White to be assaulted by Gronkowski, I knew there was a serious "culture" problem. I like to think McD has learned that he's gonna need some dirtbags.

Buddo Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 While people can justifiably complain about not getting O-Line or WR help, at the end of the day, you have to pick up guys as and when they become available. Swapping out a JAG DT, for a 2nd Round DT, who can play, is mostly a no-brainer. This is a move born of opportunity, rather than one of need, and I don't think complaints about it are justified tbh. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys will go as much as to even try and give them every play and basically everything they a can remember from the play book before they forget.
