Big Turk Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Bills have done a great job with DLine and DB group adding very solid depth since the start of the season. Bills might have the deepest DLine rotation in the NFL after adding Jordan Phillips to the mix and can literally roll out 2 seperate 4 man units if they wanted to... Secondary is also in very good shape after snagging Ryan Lewis and Dontae Johnson. Johnson started for the past 2 years in San Fran and was going to be a starter for Seattle this year before hurting his groin and ending up on IR. Tre White has blossomed into one of the best lockdown CBs in the league and erases the other teams best weapon for the most part every game. Our LBs have performed very well also but depth is a concern. Humber is OK and then there is not much behind him. However the starting 3 have been pretty great for the most part. Lorax seems to be ageless and getting better somehow...Milano is all over the place and Edmunds continues improving every week and has made some key defensive plays for us already. 1
Andy1 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I love the defense and depth they have there. Hopefully they can put a strong focus on improving the offense in the upcoming off season. McDermott knows defense. Hopefully he can be as successful with the offense next year.
JoPar_v2 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Good thing too...because it’s going to take the offense 3 years at least to look anything like it belongs in the league.
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 the D has come into form, but we have to at least be more than a train wreck on offense.

VW82 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 Good post though I do believe Lewis was inactive this week, and it wasn't due to injury. There was a whole lot of Phillip Gaines going on today. I'd say we can stand to improve the secondary but I have faith McD will do just that.

Depends on if this front office can reprioritize its draft strategy and a few other things. If they can figure out how to find offensive playmakers in the draft and really invest picks in the O, maybe they can turn it around in one year. I don’t think McDermott will do this though.
Mat68 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 They have a few needs but overall good talent. The offense has been decimated the past 2 offseasons. They tried, with the Benjamin trade. That looks like a waste. I expect alot of money and picks being dumped into the offense. Will Daboll and McDermott be the one building it. Idk.

Expand Go ahead. Write off Josh Allen after <5 weeks of being thrust into playing in a horrible offense. Love it.

No I don’t agree with that. Way too early to pass final judgment on Allen. More worried about the front office philosophy at this point. Like I said, they seem to hit on defensive players. White, Taron, Phillips, Edmunds to a lesser extent. They need to show me they can hit on those players on the offensive side.

CDogg20 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I believe this was always the plan, build the defense and depth. Get your franchise quarterback then do the same to the offense. I expect an offense heavy draft this upcoming year. Respect the process.

Expand Having poor talent was expected. Completely, botching the whole thing falls on McDermott. Beane is safe in my opinion. He traded AJ when McDermott made his decision on starting Peterman.
