YoloinOhio Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Bills All-22 Review: Why Star Lotulelei was one of the Bills’ best and the WR combo that needs more time https://theathletic.com/1334385/2019/10/29/bills-all-22-review-why-star-lotulelei-was-one-of-the-bills-best-and-the-wr-combo-that-needs-more-time/ After watching the Eagles break off some significant gains in the ground game — including the 65-yard Miles Sanders touchdown run — my inclination was one-technique defensive tackle Star Lotulelei was struggling. Lotulelei could have done more on that play, but it wasn’t wholly his fault the Eagles busted loose for the biggest play of the game. . Outside of that long touchdown run, Lotulelei was an impact run defender while the rest of the defensive line and linebackers around him were lacking. He held his ground, took on double teams and set the table for his teammates at a high level. Lotulelei was the best player the Bills had on Sunday in the front seven, and it wasn’t particularly close. The stats back it up, as well. 5 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 -The Harrison Phillips loss to injury still stings. Particularly behind Lotulelei, backup Kyle Peko is not winning consistently enough during his limited snaps. The Bills have had to make unwanted adjustments because of him during the game, shifting Peko to three-technique and forcing either Jordan Phillips or Ed Oliver to one-technique on some plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Star's fine since he's gotten here. He's done his job. Taking up double teams and still holds his ground to eat up space which is exactly what he did in Carolina. The lack of stats and large salary is why fans are all over him.

Interesting fact: - PFF has Star and Dareus as roughly average - and roughly equal - so far this year - Which one makes more money this year? (If you guessed Dareus, try again.)

BringBackFergy Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Yet another example of why Joe B. (J Bus Bus...or whatever moniker he came up with during his WGR days) knows absolutely NOTHING about football. His insights are generic and, more often, copied. Not this one though...this is a whole new level of geeky incompetence. Most of his “material” (especially draft “guru” material) is stolen. Here’s Joe B’s unedited version: “Star played good. He’s a cool player. He was there. He should be good next week. We lost the game. Don’t forget to watch for my draft preview next week.” 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 I also thought it was interesting that they tried moving White around in this game. I think he will be matched up on McLaurin exclusively on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season? Well, I think it's more accurate to say that this is the going rate in free agency for a solid (not a "star", hah!) DT, but it's also true that we got much better production from Harrison Phillips (3rd round draft pick playing for cheap) and Jordan Phillips (waiver wire pickup) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he's suspended is when Admiral Puffs-a-Lot emerges! I'll take the 4-6 weeks in exchange for that. https://athlonsports.com/life/eat-fan-marcell-dareus-and-best-chicken-wings-buffalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say it but I agree with you. Not saying much. Giving up that many yards in the NFL is embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
