I really trust McDermott with LB's and DB's. Love the additions of Edmunds, Phillips and Johnson. We have a new record! Took 4 posts to turn a positive about the bills into a negative about josh Allen! Baby steps people, last week would have been only 3 posts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffaloboyinATL Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 So saying he looks lost and is a bust after the first game of his professional career may have been a bit premature? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until it really starts to slow down for him Exactly Imagine Khalil Mack opposite him and Hughes. I think McBeane dropped the ball on that one. Would've given the farm and some herd for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Improving every week , already a nightmare for opposing DCs. I loved the play where he was in a zone , saw Mariota scanning field and just accelerates at a ridiculous speed towards Mariota almost getting the sack , forcing an incompletion. You can tell Mariota was shocked at his speed and acceleration Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malazan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Remember back in week 1 when people were calling him a bust when he wasn't dominant in his 1st ever NFL game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Raiders were pretty set on trading Mack out of Conference, (and the Bears paid a steep price )the Bills would have needed to pay even more.

I haven't bought a jersey in well over a decade but yesterday I had the same thought. If I do grab one, I think it'll be #49. And yeah, it's been fun watching Edmunds out there. It's insane that his size alone is enough to make QBs pause about going over the middle. Add his size to his range on the field and he takes away throwing lanes all over the field. He's always around the ball, his first step usually goes in the right direction and with each week, he's showing better instincts, better reaction time, etc. He's only five games in and already he has coaches talking about how quickly he improves, how the game is already slowing down for him and how the sky really is the limit for this dude. I hope he's a cornerstone on this defense for the next 10-12 years. Right alongside Tre' White, Harrison Phillips, even Taron Johnson if he keeps playing how he has. Matt Milano as well. People can doubt all they want, but those doubts are based on the fact that these people aren't seeing immediate results. It takes time, but they're doing this the right way. Edmunds, White and Milano, three full-time starters on their rookie deals. Taron Johnson, Harrison Phillips, both on rookie deals. Then they have a handful of veterans under 30 years of age all playing on very manageable contracts, followed up by a number of long-time veterans leading this team and preparing to pass the torch after this season (i.e. I think Kyle and Lorenzo both retire after this season. Kyle for sure, he can still play but I think time has finally caught up with him. Lorenzo, I like how they've moved him around this season, I think they're smart to do that. Both have their contracts end after this year.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet same people complaining the Bills didn't get him would be crying that the Bills gave up too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
