njbuff Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Relying on Trent Murphy is one dangerous proposition. Lawson's game has improved, but we all doubt that he will ever be anything in terms of a pass rusher. The organization does like Mike Love, but who the heck knows what he will become if he even makes it. Yarborough is nothing more than a role player. Hopefully some options break open for the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good article outlining some possibilities here:https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/05/buffalo-bills-lose-out-on-defensive-end-ziggy-ansah-4-options-for-team.html Shane Ray makes me seriously nervous with that wrist. Maybe it's fixed for-real, but 4 surgeries on the same ligament has to make ya worry. Of the options outlined above, Nick Perry seems like the best shot, unless they really get a good medical on Ray. 4 hours ago, Rocket94 said: We need a pro bowl calibre DE to compete effectively in the AFC East. Someone healthy and productive...not has beens and the chronically injured.

TigerJ Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Good article, Hapless. The Bills could indeed wait it out as far as bringing in another pass rusher. The Bills could certainly do that even if they filled the remaining roster spots for training camp. Personally, I'll be a bit surprised if the Bills fork out the bucks for Clowney, but you never know. Perry and Ray are interesting options to me.

IgotBILLStopay Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 What Dya guys think about Derrick Morgan? He has played 3-4 as well as 4-3. He was a leader on the Titans team and he prolly has a couple of years left in the league. Fun fact: his teammates swear by his cordon blue chef wife’ vegan creations.

On the bright side we can bid big if a player who is worth it shakes free, or jump on a trade if a player and team are far apart. Lots of options at this point. This! Trade for Jadeveon Clowney! This only makes sense if the Bills think that they are this one player away from the playoffs...are they? Probably not as teams usually make strides incrementally and at 6-10 they could go 8-8 to 10-6. Which means that while they may make the playoffs I doubt they contend for a super bowl in 2019. QB too raw, not convinced O line is going to be dominant just yet and same with receiver corps, TE, WR. With the offensive roster just about set, I see the need for pass rusher, stud to help stop the run. First choice Clowney, second, third choices Nick Perry or Shane Ray at DE over Murphy. The Bills could make a move for Gerald McCoy who would be expensive but make a bigger impact over star who just eats blockers. Clowney, if he stays healthy could be the difference maker the Bills are looking for to make that jump to #1 overall defense in the NFL. Is he worth next years 1st?

I would love to see them blitz more, but it's not McDermott's(and to a greater extent Frazier's) M.O. They will likely continue to rely on the front four to get pressure, which is why I'd like to see them go after Clowney. We were near the bottom of the league in sacks last season, and while Oliver will help, is it enough? Pass rush is the most important defensive category. If we're gonna allocate resources to a big money defensive player, I want a guy who gets sacks. Edited May 10, 2019 by LSHMEAB 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 5 hours ago, Dkollidas said: I’d say there’s three “types” of options. 1. The big Splash- Go after Clowney. I don’t think they’d use a 1st, but they’d do something around a 2nd + Lawson or something like that. *Chance of Happening* = 10% 2. Current UFA- go after one of the flawed guys available. Michael Johnson, Shane Ray, etc. *Chance of Happening* = 40% 3. Wait for Cuts- between June and August there will be some decent players cut. Whether for age, cap space, or not a fit with a new coaching staff, good players get cut almost every off-season. *Chance of Happening* = 50% Here's another: Julius Peppers. Stay in touch with him like they did with Derek Anderson...........and maybe Peppers gets tired of hangin' around the house at the end of August.

MrEpsYtown Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Shane Ray is the most obvious move. Still young, still a lot of upside. He has a ton of speed, a super quick first step and plays with a motor. The dude can play. If his wrist is okay, I could envision him actually replacing Jerry down the line. I think Ray would be a great fit in our scheme, and all the places he's visited, Ravens, Seattle, Raiders, all either signed or drafted edge players, so his market may be a bit dry. I'm not sure if he got in Vance Joseph's doghouse or what, but he really didn't get the same opportunities he got a few years atom when he had a bunch of sacks. Ray can get to the quarterback and adds a good amount of speed and athleticism to the defensive line room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 We go with Murphy/Shaq at LE and Hughes/Harold at RE. Darryl Johnson on the PS. That's my guess. Next year they go all in for both DE positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say stand pat and see what Shaq, Murphy & Eli have to offer. With the addition of Oliver it should open things up for left DE.

Why both ends Hughes is one of the best in the league we can at least franchise him and if we don't like his price that he's demanding we can at least trade him. If we can sign 36yr old RBS we can keep 31yr old DEs . Especially if Hughes has the type of yr he just had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
