26CornerBlitz Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 They are congealing into a unit that can keep the team in games on a weekly basis. It's nice to see after the slow start to begin the season. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I would keep Hughes next year... He is not overly expensive for his abilities, and he will be motivated in a contract year to play well for one last payday.. ( maybe not with Buffalo for 2020 and beyond..) I have feeling though that there will be another dozen or so "trade Hughes for a 6th" threads over the next 8 months...... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players who remain will be here for a while, Hughes will sign a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my book the D won todays game. The slow start had a rookie MLB first games, Trent Murphy didn't play in preseason, DL wasn't getting pressures and Vontae was well really bad. They played great today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Star was an animal out there. Jordan Phillips today is making me wonder if he’s the best DT with the last name Phillips, and I say that acknowledging Harry is legit. Hughes and Murphy bring heat off the edge. Lawson and Eddie made plays. Lorax/Edmunds/Milano are everywhere. Edmunds closing speed on the almost sack was sooo sexy. Our secondary has a stud outside corner, stud slot corner and two stud safeties. Very excited about this defense moving forward this year, and the next few years, as the core is all young/in their prime.

He only did that for the 2nd half of the Chargers' game. Since then Frazier has called the defense on game days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things sure did change after McD and Frazier had a closed door meeting post the Chargers game.I wish I was a fly on the wall for that "conversation".
