As Beane builds the talent level of the team, fringe players like Yarbrough are going to be replaced by better ones. The player I wonder about is Trent Murphy. He clearly underperformed his contract this past season, but from appearances that was mostly due to nagging injury issues. Beane needs to decide if 2018 was just a bad year for him as he tried to come back from a major injury or he's just going to have chronic injury issues. Whatever they do, we need someone who can put up sacks. We need an edge rusher to pull attention away from Hughes. If that is Murphy and he can stay healthy, fine. Hughes is not dominant enough to be the primary pass rusher for our defense. He's a perfect guy to have opposite your primary pass rusher, though.

ColoradoBills Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 Glad to see it's a 3 year deal. Keep working through things OBD. Now get Jordan Phillips signed. I also think Yarbrough (ERFA) gets a contract to come to camp. Hard to see any other FAs being re-signed. I know some have wanted Mills signed to a backup $ contract but I think he will want more. 6 minutes ago, nucci said: hope it's a cap friendly deal... It will average a million a year.

Honestly, I have no memory of a bad snap this year. Ha! Great point Donuts. No news is good news sort of job, much like an O-lineman with penalties.

buffaloboyinATL Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 So this got me wondering. What is the reason that they don't convert another lineman on the active roster to long snapper to save a roster spot? Is it that the skill set is so difficult to learn or is it that too much practice has to go into that spot, which would take away from that players "main" job? I am assuming long snapper is a specialist for every team, not just an additional duty for another player on the roster. Does anyone use an actual position player (not just one in title) rather than a specialist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there have been long snappers who recovered fumbles by RBs (as an example) and on a play like that you are glad to hear your long snapper's name. Someday and team will find a long snapper who can also play center and that will be a very useful slot even if the long snapper only plays center when center is injured.

I for one am not super happy with the defensive line coaching. The drop off for Waufle to Teerlink is massive. I'd like to see some more experience brought in there. What drop off are you referring to? There wasn't a drop off in production. The dline was better this past season than the one before (which got no pressure on the QB and was horrible against the run.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
