Blank Stare Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 42 minutes ago, MJS said: That's funny, since he is supposed to be an edge rusher but he doesn't produce sacks. Ok. I meant more from mentality/play style standpoint vs. sack production. Last time he played in this defense, he had 6.5 sacks though. That production would’ve been second on this team to Addison’s 7.

If I recall correctly the Bills offered him a pretty competitive deal but opted for the Dolphins. I can’t blame him for taking a deal he thought was best. And perhaps Miami felt more like a place he would rather live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, you have to at some point, limited number of years to make what you can make. Bills weren't going to pay him anywhere close to what he got from the Fins.

With career earnings of just about $25 million, Shaq doesn't have to worry about food bills. But I agree that ALL of these guys are wise to cash in on every single pay day they can possibly get. When you are paid in 7 figures, every new K is a huge bump to your finances, even if you have already earned a ton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 2 hours ago, FilthyBeast said: I'm still not sure why this move even needed to be made given the pass rushes resurgence in recent weeks. Yes Lawson had a career year here in 2019, but he has a grand total of 5 sacks (including just one this year) since leaving Buffalo and playing for multiple teams (which is still somewhat a red flag too). I think this has almost nothing to do with his pass rush proficiency. It's much more about playing the run and setting the edge, which he excelled at during his last stint. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your mention of Mario Williams reminds me that we haven't had a really efficient pass rusher who makes impact plays in quite a while. Mario had a couple great seasons as a Bill. I think the last guy we had who was like that was Jerry Hughes, about 3 years ago before his play started to deteriorate. We could use another one!

FireChans Posted January 11, 2022 Author Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, MJS said: Oh I think his pass rush was not adequate, and stopping the run is fine, but you don't give guys big contracts or even significant starting time just to stop the run. I think letting Lawson and Phillips both walk was the right move by far, and I don't even like the idea of bringing either of them back. They are not good enough to be Buffalo Bills in 2022, in my opinion. And it is suspect that they were both busts but scraped together decent years in their contract year so that they could get paid, then completely underperformed since then. It is unfair to lump Jordan Phillips in with Shaq. Shaq may have mailed it in until his last year, but JP played on TWO prove it deals with the Bills, and produced a TON in his last year here. Shaq had a solid season but JP had 9.5 sacks. He then went to Arizona with a completely different defensive role and has battled injury since. Shaq has been traded 2x and cut.

Chandler#81 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 1 hour ago, Bob in STL said: Our DE’s accounted for 20.5 sacks. Our team defense had 42 sacks, 11th overall in the NFL. Not sure that is an unmitigated disaster but we certainly want more given the draft position investment in the DL. Ok, we’ll I’m not going to sift through the whole sack totals for where everyone lined up when sacks were counted, but your take is misleading in that our DE’s play a lot in the middle on sure passing downs, which inflates “DE sacks”.
