Why?  He's a true NT, maybe a 0 -1 tech.  Doesn't fill  Jordan Phillips role. 

 

Unless they expect to move Harrison Phillips to 3 tech?  Would that work?  Anyone?

Maybe he would be an upgrade to Star.

I think Harrison may end up a 3. He is a gap shooter and is built for quick leverage and not a the bull that holds off blocks. Personally I don’t think Harrison is ever going to start for this team.

I fully understand Buffalo’s interest in Reader, hence how everyone forgets how bad the run D was during portions of the year and Star was considered the main culprit............ and fan whipping boy. ?

Definitely right.

He’s something between a 3-Tech and a penetrating 1 tech.... Kind of like Liuget.  ?

Bringing in Reader ,or Hargrave, would allow them to run a jumbo DT package. That’s a viable reason for McB to sniff around. Fritz Shurmur used to run zone blitz schemes with two NTs in several locations.... McD’s and Frazier’s mentor (Jim Johnson) was the D line coach for Shurmurs cardinals defenses. The schemes and ways to utilize personnel would be familiar to them. That’s something to consider here when we know we need to shore up the run D.

Star’s contract prevents this from being a viable option IMO. I like Reader quite a bit but don’t think it’s realistic.

 

Agree. I'd love to dump Star and sign Reader but the contracts just don't make it possible. 

 

Some of us really wanted the Bills to draft Reader when he was coming out of college..... he would be another tough loss for GM O'Brien in Houston.

Players this young and talented don't usually hit the open market which is why the Bills should jump at the opportunity.  Good job BOB and have fun resigning Watson and Tunsil to record deals while having no 1st round picks this year or next.  Having Fluker and Star rotate in will only help Oliver and whoever replaces Jordan Phillips.

"Fan whipping boy" and "main culprit" are 2 different things.

 

People who watch All 22 would tell you one of these is correct, and shockingly it's not the fans.

If the Bills lose Jordan Phillips and Harrison Phillips returning from a ACL . Star contract just redone , Shaq unknown if re-sign ,  the DL  could be a concern.

Jordan Philips isn’t coming back and Star is getting cut after this season.  This would be a great move

Also Trent Murphy is definitely gone next year and possibly this year and this will be Jerry Hughes last year with the Bills. Shoring up DL for future is key. 

They are not signing Clowney. I’m hoping they resign Shaq and draft Espensa
