Elite Poster Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Besides being a bald family man, something McDermott has a hard on for, Tent Murphy is useless. Ā Dull Star Lotulelei? Invisible and when you actually watch him, on skates.Ā Ā Hughes? Always 1 second too late but at least he is giving it his all every snap.Ā Ā The sad part is our best DL right now are back ups.Ā Ā Ed Oliver has talent but isn't making an impact, this is why you trade first round picks if the right guy is available. Our window will begin to close. This D will not last forever and will Allen start winning games for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Matthew Fairburn article after the Eagles loss (athletic, paywall): https://theathletic.com/1328600/2019/10/27/this-is-probably-the-loss-that-feels-the-worst-where-do-the-bills-stand-after-getting-pounded-by-the-eagles/?redirected=1 Ā āIām concerned any time a team can run the ball like that on our football team,ā Sean McDermott said after the game. āThatās concerning.ā Ā That concern didnāt reach Lotulelei in the locker room. The defensive tackle, who is in the second year of a five-year, $50 million contract, said he wasnāt frustrated by the way the Eagles ran the ball. When asked to clarify that he, the man paid handsomely to stop the run, was not frustrated by the Eagles trampling his team, Lotulelei seemed offended. āNo,ā he said.

A lot of it is contributed to what heās been able to do as far as keeping guys off me, allowing me to run free. āIn the pass rush, people canāt step up. On first or second down I know a couple of guys that have gotten sacks throughout the year just because Star has gotten that great push. Heās earned every bit of what heās got with that five-year deal.ā Itās hard to argue with the results that the Bills defense had this season, finishing the year ranked second in the NFL in total defense and No. 1 in pass defense. Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier raved about Lotuleleiās first 16 games in Buffalo and explained that his unselfishness allows others to thrive and young players, like linebackers Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano, to develop. āHe demands a double team which allows our linebackers to run free and make some of the tackles that people might think the nose tackle should be making,ā Frazier said. āThat has been a plus for us, helping our linebackers to improve. But also to help our run defense. Heās done a good job of commanding attention from their interior, their center and their guards. Itās hard to block him one-one-one and thatās what we needed and heās given us that.ā Ā Ā Alexander said he shows others how to succeed because of the example he sets. āHeās a great leader. He doesnāt say a lot but the way he works and the way he goes about his business and the way he relates to guys in this locker room goes a long way,ā Alexander said. Ā I know what Star's roll is on the team, he is supposed to be the Casey Hampton of our DL, I get that, eat up blocks so the more talented players can get to the QB. My question is that I'd actually want to know if he's doing his job since there is no way of really telling this stat. Again we just got gashed for over 200 yards on the ground against a solid Eagles team, how does this happen if Star is doing his job correctly? We also don't get many sacks and I was watching Star like a hawk in this Eagles matchup, he was getting pushed around on many plays where he actually went backwards.

Casey Hampton had them too. Everyone does. Just checked a couple of years on Hampton and saw a few games when the Steelers got gashed on the ground despite Hampton playing. In the 2007 Jax game, they allowed 227 yards on the ground, for instance. Ā And you can see that Alexander and Frazier are very clear on how very well he did his job last year. Ā I'm not clear on how he's doing over the whole year this year. Has he regressed? It's not clear to me yet how well he's done over the whole year. Joe B. looks at all the tape and says he's not doing as well. And again, is he injured? Regressing? Attempting to do too much? It's not clear yet. Ā As for how it could happen if Star is playing well, well, it could easily happen if the other players in the front seven are getting beat. Or it could happen when Peko is playing and Star is on the bench. You can't blame all defensive problems against the run on Star. Only the ones he's to blame for. Again, I'm not clear, and I've made my unclarity pretty clear. Maybe it's time for you to either believe Joe's opinion or go back and start watching film like a maniac. Ā Ā One thing for sure is that as happens after bad losses, the default for fans will be wild overreaction. Same as after good wins most overreact to that as well.

Yeah, shocking observation, especially when you notice all the other expensive way over 350 pounders like Dontari Poe and Grady Jarrett and Linval Joseph chasing down so many RBs from behind. Good lord! Ā What are you talking about?Ā There is ample evidence of his poor play ON FRIGGIN FILM!!!Ā He's not even double teamed anymore.Ā He stops when he's run out of the play, while you see 94 and 97 still chasing the carrier down the field.Ā Yes, you see other big boys still hustling, especially when games are close.Ā Ā Star looks as checked out as can be.Ā He's walking back to the line while the play is still going!!!

Ā Ā Ā Yup, four posts in a row acting as if because it's your impression it must be fact, and not a single stitch of evidence. Ā The last and only specific you gave was wrong ... trumpeting that he should have made a tackle that he actually had made. Ā Kinda thought so. But I'll keep looking for all those other 300+ pound fireplugs chasing down all those RBs from behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) Ā Star got 56% of the snaps on defense Sunday (41 total snaps, most the entire year in a game) and the Bills get gashed for 218 yards on the ground.Ā COINCIDENCE??Ā I think Not. Ā Now do the Redskins attack the Bills the same way to give MORE evidence of how bad Star is or will we have to wait until Chubb Edited October 28, 2019 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually if you are the team's premier run stuffer you gotta take the view that it is your job to get in there make a play and cut off that route.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
