Draft speed, not defense

[iccrewman112]

Drafting is tough, so my question is would Von Miller for a 10 week rental for a 6th round pick been worth it for todays game alone?

That’s a resounding YES. Miller still has plenty of speed off the edge and we have next to none. I didn’t see the play during the game, but someone had commented that Jerry got stoned by a RB. We have DEs that aren’t overly powerful or fast, none of them strike fear in the QB.

And they are getting paid high end money. Jerry and Addison and NOT worth the money they are getting. I think a full time Epenesa gets the same amount of sacks as Addison for less money.

Are the Bills looking at the 25th pick in the Draft???

 

If Beasley and Sanders are gone WR is a real shot.

 

If Hughes and Addison are gone DE is a real shot.

 

DT is a shot.

 

CB is a shot.

 

 

We will have to wait and see….. FA always gives us a better look

I think any practice squad player on any team gets the same stats with the same playing time as Epenesa.  Hes that bad,

But they didn’t, so here we are. We know who did well for the Bills this game. Allen and Davis. We draft better on offense than defense. Just stick to what we do best. 

 

You're acting as if Rousseau and Basham are already busts in rookie seasons. Both were rotational DE's and Basham was even less used than Rousseau, even the great Bruce Smith needed more than 1 year of play, he had 6.5 sacks year 1 as the starting DE (there is no comparison just stating facts) so let's not say they're done yet until they get a legit shot which at least 1 of them will imo when we let Hughes walk. Rousseau had 4 sacks and an INT as a rotational end which is not a terrible first year plus just got some playing time and now knows what it takes to win in the playoffs so I'm not writing off either of those guys yet but I'm not going to lie I'm starting to get the feeling AJ Epenesa is going to just be a rotational guy which is why we went out and got both Rousseau and Basham last year.

Was offense the problem?

Not in my opinion. Couple of play calls maybe, but no.

Hill, Hardman, Pringle, Clyde, Mckinnon. How big of an impact did those guys have vs Rousseau and Basham?

The biggest impact in last night's game was Reid vs McDermott.  If McDermott knew to squib kick there would be no need to talk of speed because we would have just outscored the Chiefs with the guys on this roster.  There's no doubt in my mind we need a legit pass rusher more than track stars at WR and how we acquire a pass rusher I don't care.  No one has worked out yet (signing or drafting) but that doesn't mean we can stop trying.

Boogie is so damn slow. He'll never be a sack guy. Epenesa is so disappointing and who knows if Groot develops?  Addison & Hughes are 100% gone. Back to the drawing finding real pass rushers.

They were there last offseason and we should have spent then...

 

There are like 3 this offseason, but doubt they hit the market

Wasting top assets on DL is idiotic--

 

I would LOVE to see elite speed at WR on this team next year.

 

No one talks about it here, but Josh's YAC stat was worst in the NFL this year.

 

How often do you see a Bill catch the ball and then run with it?

 

They are almost always hit IMMEDIATELY. 

 

I swear to God, Diggs braces for a hit the moment he catches the ball like advancing it post-catch is not even an option.

Jameson WIlliams would look very nice in this offense.

I think CB is the biggest need coming into the draft. Not just because White will still be out 1 month into the season, but we need an insurance policy. And when White comes back, we’ll have 2 high quality CBs out there. I do know that if White played last night, we probably would’ve won.

The problem with the squib kick is that Hill just roasted us on a punt return a couple drives earlier. McD was scared of Hill doing it again and didn’t trust his STs.
