JohnNord Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 On paper this makes sense. But given his last run with the Bills, he doesn’t seem like someone they’d want to give a 2nd chance to. Also, there has to be a reason why Marcel is still a free agent and why teams have not taken a look at him. Ive heard people on Twitter clamor for Snacks Harrison. I’d be ok with that signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If there was no past baggage with the coaching staff I wouldn't hate the move considering that he is a solid to good run stuffer. But considering the negative history I would rather take on Snacks Harrison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 (edited) He was scheduled for a workout last week. Got to the airplane door and despite flight attendants pulling, and the luggage and fuel guys pushing, he could not fit through the airplane door. They suggested he ride in the hole, but he would not agree. Edited September 28, 2020 by LabattBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Probably not but it would be worth a phone call. Time away from the game and teammates may be motivating for him. Playing on a winning team might be worthwhile. Beane has taken chances with other guys too - Pryor comes to mind. Low risk to bring him in for a workout. For what it is worth he is still the #2 rated DT left in free agency. Now that is not saying much but you don't have to give up anything to sign him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Bills Blue Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 I'll be interested to see the lowlights of the interior dline. I feel like oliver/jefferson were out of position up field a lot and in turn this caused phillips and butler to get beat up and pushed around. This also leads to linemen getting to the 2nd level and getting to LBs. Something tells me we were out-schemed in the 2nd half - and too much was going on too fast for the team to rally.

Is Dareus still a free agent? Definitely, as the Bills have been gashed too often already, seem to really miss their huge lineman, Star and Jordan Phillips. He is 30 years old and can likely still be, if motivated, a big part of a great defense. No risk, but a big reward possible here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The run defense with Star in the middle was trash for a long stretch in the middle of last season. From weeks 7 to 11 the Bills run defense was putrid, even giving up massive games to trash teams like the Fins and Washington. Star did improve ton end the year but he was a big part of the big lapse in run defense mid-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t referring to the run defense, I was referring to his impact on the field with tying up o-linemen and keeping the LB’s clean. So far, the Bills LB’s are getting pushed around and are out of their gaps causing bigger holes, missed tackles, etc... The Bills LB’s are very athletic, but they are physically smaller and are getting pushed out of their gaps by the opposing O-linemen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 This question has been asked a few times this year already.

From weeks 7 to 11 last season Star wasn't effective at "doing the dirty work" he was just getting pushed around. I don't know what flipped but he really turned it on to end the season when the run defense massively improved. Overall I would say that he is important but it isn't like he hasn't had stretches of bad play or mediocre play either 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 There’s a very good chance that instead of bringing on a FA, Justin Zimmer could get activated from the PS and could probably see some playing time in the DL rotation. He’s a bigger guy and a decent run stopper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess they feel solid enough to take a few risks on final pieces. that said, not sure he’s a guy they would want to deal with again. Both culture and cash weighed in the decision but how bad his culture issues in the building would matter a lot. A bit lazy you can work with. Open defiance, not so much.

Real McClappy Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I see this was beat down by several forum members. If (I know big if) he could be coached to what he was it would help our D out tremendous and open Oliver up. He was an absolute beast until Rex ruined him, St.Doug is no savior either.

Thought about it numerous times actually. Dude would be cheap and it would not hurt to talk and see his mindset and throw him on some drills either. This talk of Zimmer being some savior just doesn't fly with me, he's flat out depth. Dareus is still considered the best FA DT. People do change for better or worse. I honestly feel Rex and Doug (pt2) were both bad fits for him. You can't deny the fact his first 4 seasons under the right coaching staff and scheme he was a top 5DT in the league as well.
