Agreed. I can think of far worse attitude problems. If Dareus had shown the same “attitude,” he might still be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Either that or Beane doesn’t believe in culture at the same level as McD. I actually like that Phillips was pissed off about not getting more reps. We need more guys who want to destroy Tom Brady. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to suck last year but it didn’t happen. They are making sure it won’t happen again. Keep building the defense to make it look less obvious. TANK!

O’Leary - Miami practice squad streater - Browns, not playing reilly, kerely, Coleman - currently out of the league while I don’t like the current group much, not sure any of these guys make a noticeable upgrade since they couldn’t beat them out after directly competing with them Edited October 4, 2018 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khari Lee is the better run blocker than o Leary that’s why he’s on the team. Croom and Logan thomas are the ones who made the team over O’Leary from a receiving standpoint. I agree with croom but LT is a big question mark. Not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If "they" wanted to suck, they would have sucked. You don't win by accident in the highly competitive NFL. They want to win this year too. But the actual plan is to win next year and in 2020. Just look at the cap spending. It tells you everything you need to know. As best as he could, Beane put all the dead money into 2018 and that's left us with the lowest paid, worst roster this year. At the same time, Beane's been freeing up cap space in 2019 and beyond. In 2019, we have the 4th most available cap space as of right now. In 2020, we have the most. We also have some extra draft picks. https://overthecap.com/salary-cap-space/ Edited October 4, 2018 by hondo in seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Key word is he freaked out and by the account given was dropping F-bombs to the point the player and coach had to be separated. Doesn’t sound like a McDermott kind of guy.

Who exactly are we supposed to pick up, the baby Dez Bryant, the often injured Jeremy Maclin who said no to us already, or Rishard Matthews who decided not to put forth enough effort after injury to get targets.

sleeby Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) As for removing players with personalities that don't fit are we sure it's badasses that are undesired? I think it's more prima donnas, lazy guys, those afraid to tackle and such that get removed. Who was a bad ass which was cut or traded by McD? Richie was not shunned by McD. As for this guy, he might be an exception as the cost is so very low. Not much risk to try. Rebuild - let them do whatever they can with the defense now - it will only mean that much more love for offense come draft.

starrymessenger Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) JP was thought by many to be a first round talent and it is pretty obvious why. Thing is his motor has always been suspect. He has himself said it runs hot and cold. It was his rep in college too where people thought he underachieved relative to his talent. He's like Josh Allen not just because he can high hurdle opposing players but mainly because they both have very high ceilings. If Allen fails tho it won't be for lack of trying. If Coach can light a fire under this guy and get his head right the Bills will have found a very good player.
