billsfan61184 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 This team needs a DT that can play the 1 Technique and eat up blockers as well as a DT that can Penetrate (I thought this would be Oliver but I have been sadly mistaken). IF we don't get that we won't succeed on defense period. If our LB's are getting met 5 yards downfield by O-Lineman they have no chance of playing downhill and being aggressive. Our DE are getting pressure to the outside but all the QB has to do is step up in the pocket and make the throw because our DT have no inside penetration (we miss Jordan Phillips like crazy here) We need DT and at least 1 other CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 17.5 base salary next year is actually rather reasonable. If they need cap space they can even extend him and re-work it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dont Stop Billeiving Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Is there anyone on Atlanta's defense worth trying to poach? I think they're about to tear it down and be big sellers at the deadline. Their defense collectively is usually pretty awful, but Grady Jarrett is a nice player, is still only 27 somehow, and has 2.5 sacks from the DT spot already (the question is could we afford him?). Deion Jones and Keanu Neal could be interesting at the right price (although I believe they've lost some of their potential/speed due to past injuries) and an LB I've never heard of before (Foyesade Oluokun) leads the Falcons in tackles and has 3 FF in 2020. @atlbillsfan1975 any insider knowledge on these guys? Not sure how closely you follow the Falcons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A legitimate TE or big WR. Kelce made Mahomes look good on a few inaccurate throws...Allen has no big athletic target like that. A run stuffing DT. We got ran all over today. The lost of Jordan Phillips proves to be large. Ed Oliver can not stuff the run. Just use him on pass rushing downs. These are all things we can take from the Ravens PS.

billsfan89 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 6 hours ago, Thurman#1 said: Ngakoue's salary is $8 mill. 5 out of 16 games are gone, so that's $5.5 mill the rest of the year, which would put us a bit over the cap. And he'd be a one-year rental because he's going to be paid a lot next year and the Bills are actually already over the cap for next year. A 2nd for a one-year rental wouldn't make sense. Couldn't agree more that we're missing Star. You could cut Murphy to make up the difference cap wise. I then would assume you could get a comp pick back for Yannick which should ease the pick you gave up for him. If you think this team is one piece away and Yannick could be that piece then a 2nd isn't too bad a price in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its defense all the way..our offense is good enough right now if dabol gets his head out of his ass trying to force an up the middle power run game with finesse type backs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how closely you follow the Falcons. Deion Jones would be awesome in this Bills D. I would rather the Bills pay him what his salary is than say Milano(I like Milano, but injuries are adding up). There might be a way the Falcons trade him because they just might do a tear down, like you said. I don’t think this happens till after the season and a new GM is in place. Blank is happy to let the season play out and then make a hire at GM with Rich McKay helping him. Jarrett is who we want Oliver to become. I Don’t see Jarrett leaving the Falcons even in a tear down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A guy we can start over Edmunds I don’t think Edmunds is smart enough to be the QB of our defense nor do I believe he has the instincts neither.. I think Edmunds is having issues getting everybody lined up in the right spots.. I think he needs to go outside.. I think he could blitz off the edge well and his speed is a nightmare for tackles and I also think he’d be a great coverage guy, he’s simply playing out of position.. I think you sign Milano to a 1 year deal, he goes to WLB.. Edmunds goes to SLB and we draft or sign a real MLB in the offseason.. People say Edmunds is young... I get that... but it shouldn’t take 3 years for somebody to figure out how to play the linebacker position.. Josh Allen came out ultra raw and look at his strides and that’s at QB, the hardest position in football.. MLB should take 1-2 years tops! Heck, I’ve seen rookie linebackers come in and do a better job than he’s done.. He doesn’t like to hit, doesn’t like to get physical and he’s not very smart..

Forward Progress Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I think the NFL needs a team where all personnel decisions and in-game play calls are made by discussion board democracy. There is no team in the NFL, run by mere individuals, that could match the aggregated intelligence of the discussion board community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense only. Although we could use a full back , dont need him a ton but like we did in the previous years to have a more physical and multiple offensive.

If you think this team is one piece away and Yannick could be that piece then a 2nd isn't too bad a price in my opinion Cutting veteran players after the start of the season does not take away their cost! Anyone talking about cap space and money needs to know this. Sorry but some of us who know the money side get tired of saying this. per OTC https://overthecap.com/nfl-teams-cut-veterans-day-opening-game/ The big difference between the two situations comes from a small rule in the CBA called termination pay. Termination pay is the technical term for the “contract becomes guaranteed at the start of the season” talk that always takes place in the summer. Termination pay only applies to veterans and protects their entire salary in the event they are cut during the season. Since teams don’t like paying people money to not play this is not an ideal situation for players that are on the bubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
