DJB Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Decent depth i suppose If true we've plucked a player from each division rival and they will probably be very motivated! Edited March 16, 2019 by DJB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Defense Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 (edited) Good move, as he had 9.5 sacks just two years ago. Did not play great last year in New England, but you never know. Depending on contract could be a good low risk, possible high reward signing. Edited March 16, 2019 by Mister Defense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWATeam Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Solid player. Mostly comes off right edge for pats. Not going to beat you with speed around the edge, but has some moves and wins on stunts to the inside. Good run defender as well. Can line up inside as well.

Yes, that does make a difference considering the guy has had only 30 sacks in his career. Hope the Bills got him cheap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying we won’t get 1 period, I just can’t see it early. Star is the only one who is starting caliber, and that is only as a supposed run stuffer. Harry hasn't really done anything and all Phillips has really done is pump up the home crowd and batted a few passes. DT is a huge and glaring need.

GunnerBill Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Definite scheme fit. He was a guy I predicted the Bills to have interest in last offseason when he was a FA from Atlanta. He is the "big end" type that McDermott and Beane collected in Carolina. In the end he went to New England but I am not at all surprised he ends up in Buffalo. Always felt that he was a guy they would be interested in.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rufridr101 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 If this is true it's makes sense because of McDermotts scheme. His type of 43 defense requires ends that use power and squeeze the pocket rather than speed around the tackle. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
