LSHMEAB Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 3 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Improving the defensive line would be easier accomplished by focusing on the ends rather than the tackles. I can't argue this. My only gripe OVERALL is that we don't have a premier pass rusher. Beane was most certainly in the market for one, but it didn't pan out. I see a move in the very near future. Star is just Star. I think he's easily upgradable, but not really a "problem." I do think there's merit in discussing a player's worth. It's not like any of us are making decisions on how to proceed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be shocked if we don't draft a baller edge rusher next year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any draft pick or FA able to occupy space and a make more than a handful of tackles per season. Haven't spent a whole lot of time looking into names because Star is here for the 2019 season.

I think we want to discuss Bills football and discuss what we as fans are seeing on the field when the Bills play games. That's the whole point of this message thing.??

Dave Allen Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I trust Beane. If he's not holding his own, he'll be gone after the season and they can use the savings to pay Jordan Phillips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 It does seem Lotulelei isn't doing as well this year as he did last year. Is it an injury or something? Hard to know, but if it's just that he's wearing down, they'll be looking to replace him next season. But liability is probably too strong a word.

Augie Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I’ll be completely honest, I have a hard time judging line play during game day viewing. Can you guys tell in real time (other than the really obvious stuff), do you evaluate watching replays of the broadcast, or do you watch the All-22 to form your opinions. I’m am NOT good at judging line play in real time with the TV view. If you can do it better, hats off to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's impossible to judge in real time for me, I need to be able to slow down/rewind action from different angles to get what's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you work for the NSA, or have you hacked into the Patriots network? If the latter, I hope you are in some sort of witness protection program!

There are plenty of good space eaters available for less than $4 million/yr. Star makes way too much for a guy who doesn't have the capacity to get to the QB or actually make the play.

GG Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 4 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: Are there, though? For the same result that Star has been given? Absolutely. Note that on the highlights that you linked, Star actually had a full hold of Michel and could hold on. Or plays where he gets fully pushed back by a single blocker. He's a middling space eater who's nowhere near worth his contract at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
