Shaw66 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) I like this a lot. Hughes is not the flashy edge rusher we hoped he would be, the guy who makes highlight reels. He is better. I think this has happened because he is one of those guys who really fits what McD is trying to do. He has calmed down, doesn't take so many foolish penalries, doesn't lose gap control like he used to. Now he is consistently effective. Good, disciplined every play. Typical McD player. Maybe a little undersized but quick smart and effective. Like Poyer, Milano. Edited May 21, 2019 by Shaw66 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Providing he stays healthy, and I see no reason why he wouldn't that is a hell of a bargain for a high-caliber pass-rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 49 minutes ago, dneveu said: A fair amount of Pass rusher's tend to continue to play well into their 30s though. It's not like running backs or WRs where speed is king. But some don't. Orakpo and Mario Williams are the two recent examples that immediately spring to mind. The guys like Peppers and Freeney who went on longer did transition at about 32 from every down starters to more situational types. And as I say it tends to happen quicker. I think backs and receivers there is more of a gradual slowing. When pass rushers hit the wall I feel it tends to be an immediate cliff which is why I see Hughes as a year to year proposition at this stage.

Highest has changed his style of play. He is effective by being a smart, consistently good player. He gets his sacks when the opportunity arises. He doesn't rely on superior physical skills to beat people. He plays the system and executes when ha has the opportunity. That style leads to longer careers.

formerlyofCtown Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) One less thing to worry about for next year. I expect a monster year from him with the interior penetration added with Oliver.

BarleyNY Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Thank goodness. This is a hugely positive move for the Bills. We have our difference maker at DE locked up for 3 years. I’ve posted several times about the importance of addressing the DE position and this was #1 on my list. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know the refs dont like him so there are never any holds called against him? Did you know he is good for a couple 15 yard penalties per year? But whatever, He almost gets the QB. Now people are happy because a player " disrupts " a QB. Oh no. A couple 15 yard penalties a year?! That's like 30 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddyjj Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Happy for #55, is the heart of defense now that #95 is gone. Good value for both sides on extension. Hope Murph or Shaq step up on other side now! Wonder how close he and Oliver will be as both Texas guys who love the ranch lifestyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said: This is another one of those moves that raises the floor for the Bills. They did A LOT of that this year. I think of signing like Gore, Nsekhe, Long, Gaines, Kroft, etc... Hughes is a better player than those guys but the point is the Bills eliminated, a potentially, gaping hole next year. The Bills still have a need on the edge moving forward but have 1 starting edge here already (plus maybe Murphy). They can chase a star opposite him if they want (Clowney), a role player with upside (Beasley), a solid vet (Quinn), bring back their own (Lawson) or stand pat and wait for the draft. This move eliminates a need and desperation for the Bills. Great move!! Agree with everything you said here. Hughes is a leader. He showed he wants to be here and took to helping mentor younger players. Hughes plays with passion and has learned how to focus it better. I hope Lawson can build on what he showed signs of last year. Love to see a similar deal next offseason if Lawson does. As for Beasley, this is the put up or shut up Year. Quinn is now the DC and believes he can turn Beasley into the player he was drafted to be. Personally I think the Falcons will be looking for a new DC and HC as well as a DE.

You don't believe in extensions. I won't speak for Badol, but there's a pretty big difference between extending Eric Wood with a year left on his deal and Jerry Hughes. Why? Well, for one, the team had just matched a RFA offer sheet for Wood's backup, Ryan Groy, because they were happy with his play as a starter, and he was presumably set to take over after the 2017 season. Hughes, on the other hand, is now one of only 2 EDGE rushers under contract for the 2020 season. The other is Murphy, who has missed a total of 19 games in the past 2 seasons and was generally underwhelming as a pass rusher last year. For another, Wood was 31 years old as an offensive lineman and coming off a broken leg. Hughes is 30 and has never missed a game in 6 seasons with the team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndirish1978 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Super happy about this, this was a no-brainer extension at a modest cost. We now have the LDE locked down for 3 more seasons. Next season we can sign a RDE in FA to replace Lawson/Murphy (I don't expect Murphy to get to the last year of his contract with us). This takes a lot of pressure off of the 2020 offseason.
