Logic Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 (edited) From Settle's draft profile on NFL.com. I italicized the strengths that I like or that I feel make him a great fit in Buffalo. By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Round 2-3 NFL Comparison: Vince Wilfork Overview Settle has rare gifts for a big man with good mass, play strength, quickness, and agility. His substantial jump in production in 2017 was due to weight loss and additional conditioning that allowed him to play more snaps and play faster. He's a disruptive, versatile defensive lineman who offers enough pass rush potential to warrant reps on passing downs. Settle is a natural 4-3 fit but can play in a 3-4 as well. He has the potential to become a very good starter with a Pro Bowl ceiling if he controls his weight and maintains his conditioning. Strengths Accepted his coaches challenge to lose weight and improve conditioning and has done just that Thick and broad across lower body Rare agility for a man his size Plays with infectious energy Built low to the ground Blasts out of his stance to capture the neutral zone Able to play under and through the edge of blockers Can be destructive along the interior when he has his wind Power in upper body for quick punch and shed at point of attack Good pursuit motor around the field Locates ball early in the snap and plays off blocks to make tackles Pad level is good Has ability to penetrate and two-gap Arm over can get early wins Legitimate pocket pusher who can force quarterback to throw from unbalanced platform Weaknesses Wears bad weight around his midsection Maintaining weight loss and conditioning could be a concern when he has to become a self-motivator on next level Playing style is frenetic and leads to balance issues Over-extends and finds himself on the ground too often Played in just 23 college games Can be inconsistent with hand usage Will need additional technique work to better take on double teams Moved by down blocks when he doesn't stay square Sources Tell Us "I need to watch him more but Bud (Foster) moved him around and I saw a guy who can play both nose spots, 3 (technique), 4i, and maybe 5. Reminds me of when (Dontari) Poe came out. He ain't Poe, but he can play all over the line like Poe could." -- AFC defensive line coach -------------------------- And here's Joe Marino's pre-draft scouting report on Settle: Edited March 14, 2022 by Logic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 He had 5 sacks while playing only 33% of the teams snaps in 2020 when injuries ahead of him got him more snaps. I like this signing from what I am reading. Was not that familiar with his NFL resume but remember liking him coming out, just didn’t follow how he did or where he went. But I like what I’m reading about his time in Washington. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just needs more snaps. Agree if you want more snaps Bills DL is the place 😬 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Fired up about Settle. We may have fixed our run D and we can maximize Oliver, maybe Edmunds. Not sure how to put the link in, but you can copy and paste this in the address bar: Washington Football Team have to ReSign Tim Settle 😳🔥 | He’s A Dog - YouTube I wanted Travis Jones in the 2nd, but I don't think we need him know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day, he's had a handful of decent games in 4 years. Great dude though. Wreck a knee and that costs you one season, and part of another to get whole physically and mentally. I hope he puts it together and surges forward this year. A lot to play out between now and week one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Good signing. Still very young, and is more productive than Star has been the last four years despite being a backup. r. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When free agency opens later in the week, expect Settle to land a two-year deal with an opposing team. Mostly right. Would not call Bills opposing team but another team.

billybrew1 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I don’t know if anyone pointed out yet that Settle knows how the Bills DL is supposed to play coming from Washington. For good or bad, The new Carolina is Washington, baby! Yes, of course, this signing sounds sneaky good…. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
