So,you expect him to play day in and day out next summer at SJF, how else can you pass judgement if he doesn't ? He's damaged goods and has no push from his lower body...up top he's strong and has a wide wing but that does n'tcut in the NFL since these OT's are getting taller,bigger and stronger..with tree trunks for legs. Trim the fat.... Edited February 13, 2019 by Misterbluesky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, a run defense liability as he doesn't maintain his lane. Me too. And I think he will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IgotBILLStopay Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He sucked early on but appeared to find a groove as the season warmed up. I am cautiously hopeful he will give us 8 sacks this year because of Hughes and the stud we are going to draft.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a solid pass rusher when he's able to suit up. But he isn't healthy ...his knee is shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I expect him to tackle Patrick Mahomes on 4th down in the final minute of the AFC Championship game & send the Bills to Super Bowl LIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillies Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 He should just roid-up again and see how long he can get away with it. Seems like a lot of roid guys get these never-ending injuries. Probably some science behind it... body with PED, then not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Given last season, it's hard to expect a lot. You just hope he can stay healthy, and if he returns to his pre-injury form you're getting a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the staff needs to do it's due diligence on the health of his knee and if it doesn't look good, perhaps cut bait. I've read that it was a team friendly contract. Lawson isn't the pass rusher that Murphy is, but he's available and he also made some strides last season. Maybe they keep both, but I could see them having to decide between these two young men.

Murphy is 8.5 this year..3.5 is dead cap.I agree 100% about Lawson,he had a great preseason last year and had a solid season with the real bullets flying..but I still want more out of him because of where Whaley selected him. Who knows about Murphy...odds are arthritis has hit his knee by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now depending on the draft, it's entirely possible they keep both. If they take a pass rusher early in the draft, I think one will go and that's where Murphy's health is a major player. I suppose he could bounce back. I've seen a guy coming off injury struggle to stay healthy the following year and then get back to full strength. The fact that he's been oft injured is a major concern though. I do believe he's a solid pass rusher which are hard to come by, which is why I would hesitate to up and cut him.

Now everyone acts like they hated theove and Beane should be fired for it. I think he can be an effective pass rusher when healthy. Let's hope he can get healthy and prove everyone right (sentiment from when we first signed him) and everyone wrong (current sentiment). I don't remember loving it, but if you say everyone loved the signing, I guess I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt like the Ivory signing or Star signing either. All these bloated contracts for what amount to average players boggles the mind while you simultaneously try to undo those same types of contracts. Although Ivory's isn't that bloated, but you can definitely get what he brings for much cheaper. Perhaps some people were just hopeful given what Murphy did the year before in Washington & how he'd be lined up opposite Hughes. Perhaps others were just happy we signed someone. Gotta also remember that just about everyone before the season here was thinking playoffs last year as well. While not considering all the dead cap we ate & how unrealistic doing both would be. Such is the life of a Bills fan, glass is always half full when you Billieve until you smash it at the wall later. However I will trust the process thru this next season. I still think we're in a better position now than we have been in a long time. And i hope Trent has a great season for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codyny13 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I think he’ll be better this year. Got the comeback year under his belt, I expect 7 sacks if he’s healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Very little. He looked slow, stiff, and small last season. I couldn't believe how lean he looked late in the season. Might explain his PED use, he looks like a guy that really struggles to keep his weight up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianmoorman4jesus Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 I expect him to be the most forgettable (high expectation) player on the roster and be hurt 10-12 weeks next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
