Baldinger Breakdown of Bills D Line from game 2

It's not just our defense that has to perform better against the Chiefs. It's the offense as well. So far, I am encouraged that both sides of the ball have improved at least a little and potentially a great deal if the pass rush is really good. 

 

Yea I am interested by the speculation the Chiefs want to use Chris Jones on the edge more. If they did that against us I would think it plays into our hands a bit because our tackles are better pass protectors than our guards. Ike / Cody / Mongo in pass pro vs the Chiefs remains a concern to me.

I can't see the Bills paying Addison $8M to retire

 

McD has a weird loyalty to vets often and I think Addison is a guy they will keep around and stick him in a backup LB spot and have him rush the passer in situations similar to Lorax and then let him walk after the season.

He may have a degree of loyalty to have on the team, but doesn’t necessarily means he plays him which is what I think you were postulating.  I agree he will put out whoever he thinks gives us the best chance.

 

He did bench a healthy Morse last year.  That was a statement and Morse heard the message.

 

Consodering there is no economic value to cutting him, my guess is he’ll work his way into a backup role.  Just a guess.  I do think he’ll put Hughes back where he is most comfortable.

Boogie was dominate against the Bears.

 

Pet peeve — when people don’t use “dominant” correctly.

 

In other news — Baldy is great, and we have lots to be excited about with the influx of talent on the D line (even if Chicago’s OL sucks).

If they do that it won't be against a team like us. Our Ts are way better than our Gs. Andy Reid is not gunna play into our strengths

We haven't had a DL draft pick develop into a top player since Kyle Williams. Dareus was the closest but rapidly regressed. 

 

Developing DL draft picks into top players is the final piece to a Super Bowl. 

 

Yea Dareus got there.... but only for about 2 seasons under Marrone and Pettine/Schwartz. He is only 31. If he had his head screwed on right he could have still been a force on the Bills interior even today. Such a waste. 

 

Hopefully Ed takes another step with his consistency this year (because when he has been good he has been really good) and Rousseau has a top rookie year. If both those happen the Bills are the most complete team in football without a doubt IMO.

The forgotten man, Epenesa. I see so much Aaron Schobel in him. I think out of Oliver, Rousseau, Basham, and Epenesa someone will emerge. The coaching staff is just too good around them.

Yea AJ and to a lesser extent Boogie too. Just think Ed and Greg are the two most talented.

The only way Addison starts the season is loyalty. Rousseau should be out there for me. Sure still rotate Addison in some but Greg would start.

Addison is solid 3 down guy so let Rousseau come in on passing downs to give him a breather early in year.   I see a ton of rotation this year and even moving some of the DEs inside on 3rd and long.

By solid do you mean slow?

This DL is going to be amazing!

Growth, Boogie and Epenesa should all make a huge difference. Oliver should have a breakout year because of all the talent now around him.

They're so versatile as well.  

Add in Hughes ,Addison and we're Loaded!

I predict that Rousseau and Epinesa will be the starters going forward. I've long supported Hughes, but I wonder if they would trade him for a CB or TE or G. Then again, they might not want to move him at the risk of upsetting the other players.

I mean again if Hughes and Addison were vulnerable they'd actually of been out there competing in the last two preseason games.
