BUFFALOTONE Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Hughes is a weird case, always around the QB but hardly a disruption. Spare me the hurry stats, a guy making $10m a year has to change the game and he just doesn’t do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Hughes is a big leader but what the Pats were good at (besides just having Brady carry their team) is cutting bait at the right time. $9 million for 4.5 sacks snd 4 tfls is really bad snd he has been steadily declining. you are going to make some tough decisions. Personally, I’d rather have his money free. Agreed, and Beane screwed the pooch last year by not releasing Murphy before his guarantee kicked in. But I dont think now is the right time for Hughes. More so based on where the team is than the player. Unless they have a big time FA lined up. Not saying Beane wont do anything there, but imo, I let the man keep his money.

QB's just step up or sidestep his pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never liked the signing and got flack for suggesting he was slowing down after the 2019 season. He’s lost a step. Should be cut, maybe he still will be if they find an upgrade in FA. Wish he never played for Carolina.... Yeah, but you are negative about pretty much everything, so how are we supposed to sift through the valid arguments and the needless negativity? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one less hole on the team. I still think they address the DL Yeah, I don't see why people think that because of this we are not going after D-Line help in free agency. To me this looks like we will sign a DE in free agency and Addison will now be depth. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somnus00 Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 39 minutes ago, MJS said: Addison could have a bounce back year. He was up around 10 sacks for 4 years in a row before coming to Buffalo and having 5. Maybe the coaches believe he can get back to that. There were a lot of moving parts and new faces on the dline. Maybe with another year in the system and with Star coming back guys like Addison will improve. Anyways, that's the hope. I'm hopeful that Epenesa makes some strides as well and becomes a bigger contributor. He's a power guy who relies on strength and technique to rush. Power guys don't usually fall off like the speed rushers do. You might be right about Addison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on Watt-Watch coming down to the Cardinals and Bills, folks should expect that we ABSOLUTELY go after DL help in free agency. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe now in the draft #30 is compiled with other pics to get a partner to get Hughes for an excellent prospect. BillsMafi, you’ve been on it lately. Good job bud. I think Yolo is a little jealous. 😂 we still have Epenesa and now Addison on one side. Beane, please, please please, lock up Jonnu Smith next. If we lose a speed WR, let’s at least get a top level TE. We can always draft a speed WR in a mid draft pick. Even just a one trick pony like Ginn years ago, or Deshaun Jackson in the day. If you can draft a "speed wr" why can't you draft a "top level TE"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to improve our pass rush. Not stay the same or get worse. I love the moves we made, even retaining Butler and Addison, but we still need to add a pass rusher imo. It doesn’t seem like we have much money left to spend and we still need a guard (unless boettger and Ford are the starters, ugh). Wholeheartedly agree here, but the biggest factor in improving the pass rush will almost certainly have to come through Oliver and Epanesa's development. 15 minutes ago, NewEra said: Could we trade Edmunds for a 1st or 2nd rd pick and draft Nick Bolton? I’d love to have Bolton and Milano as our LBs and Bolton would be cheap for 4 years. Don't see this happening. I know a lot of people on here dislike Edmunds, but I think (just a gut feeling) -- for better or worse -- he's ours and will be for awhile.

I am thinking differently. I think they took a swing at Watt, missed and decided to go the draft route. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to grab a DE in FA, just don't see it happening with William's and Milano signings. At least I'd be REALLY surprised if they do..

But if there is one thing I've learned, it's don't count Beane out of anything. And I'd be shocked if the only idea he had for DE was "Watt or draft pick".

I know it’s VERY unlikely, but Its just a numbers game. They can make it work for the next 2 years, but once Tre comes up for an extension....idk if it makes sense. If we could trade Edmunds for a LB that is under control for 4 years making 1M a year, it makes sense. Unlikely....but it makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the final FA move needs to be TE or Edge. It's very hard to find a day 1 impact player at that position. I have big hopes for Epensea and Knox, but I don't want to count on them. Draft more OL, 1 Tech, and speedster later in the draft (draft looks to have a ton available around rd. 4). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the focus needs to be on the next couple years. Tre is still as young as some of these rookies and now should know the defense inside and out. I'm all for making upgrades where we can, but switching out your defensive QB probably ain't it in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo_Stampede Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 DE is looking like a good bet for 1st or 2nd round IMO. Possibly CB and DE. That's where I'm leaning right now with my 1st 2 picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
