Get him in the workout facility , lets hope they include workout bonus because he has some skills 

 

 

Strengths: 

Tough run defender 

Very strong 

Surprising athleticism for a big, thick nose tackle 

Rare explosion at the point of attack for a nose tackle 

Can contribute in the pass rush 

Can fire by guards with speed 

Collapses the pocket 

Active hands 

Perfect fit as a 3-4 nose tackle 

Good fit as a 4-3 nose tackle 

Can eat up double teams 

Closes well for a heavy tackle 

Impressive ability to shed blocks 

Frees up edge rushers, linebackers 



 


Weaknesses: 

Won't play every snap in the NFL which has been true to this point

Will be a rotational player 

Will have to monitor his conditioning 

Limited to nose tackle role 

Lacks length to be a five-technique 

Not a fit as a three-technique 

One-year wonder

This is good news! This guy can play. He was hidden in Washington of course with four 1st rounders on that DL.

this seems to be a consensus as much as anything.  High reward potential playing on the Bills OL...music to my ears. Solidify the guard position, add experience, durability and versatility. Im on board. Draft, develop and keep it moving forward with key free agents.

This is such a Beane signing - he loves underrated w/ upside.

 

I think we're going to love this guy.

 

Beane, former NFL Exec of the Year,  is a Svengali of GMs. He let others blow their wads with splashy moves, while patiently waiting on the sideline to pickup the high-value scraps.

Beane: not being splashy, but picking up the high value scraps. Just as many of us predicted.

fixed it for you

 



Some really impressive highlights here. 

The stuff against the Falcons particularly stands out. Whew.

Yep, I love this kind of signing. I don’t need Clowney or Ray Lewis, names people know and gush over. I prefer guys like Poyer and Hyde who I knew little or nothing about. They came in, fit what we needed and gave us quality value.

Seems like a dumpster dive to me. The Bills are now a consensus Super Bowl contender. Their acting like their the Pittsburgh Pirates. Bills have limited money to spend, and need proven players. They are loosing Addison, Hughes, and very likely Wallace. who were all still very productive last year. Who knows what Rousseau - Basham - Epenesa can do? They proven next to nothing. This is just another questionable player. Buffalo has a legitimate team, time to start acting like it.

He went to high school across town from mine in the exciting metropolis that is Manassas, VA.  The fact that he went to Stonewall High, where many of my friends went, actually gives me some hope.   My school in the city wasn't exactly a powerhouse for football players at any level that I'm aware of.

 

That's all I have.

They are most likely going to lose at least 15 players this off-season, you can’t come close to filling 15 holes in the draft.

WFT buddy of mine who knows football said he was log jammed behind Allen and Payne but there was little to no drop off when he was in. Just needs more snaps.


Can confirm from local WFT market, Settle will flash when he’s in which isn’t often. Like the signing on merit and love it for the implication of replacing Butler/Star.

 

Plus his sack dance is the Pogo.

:huh:........ Uhhhhh, we're losing a combined 9 sacks in Addison and Hughes, not two all world beaters. Rousseau did VERY well against the run and will continue to develop. Hopefully they have Epenesa put back on about 15lbs of good weight this off-season. He has flashed at times also, but hasn't put it all together just yet. Basham is the rotational guy they kick inside on passing downs at this point, but he has potential. All the reports I've seen on Settle, from within the Washington fan base and outside, have been positive. He was on a stacked front and still flashed a ton of potential. He's a replacement for Butler and in this league you need depth to survive. It's the first day of FA, 9 hours into the legal tampering period. Clam your t*ts Francis and let it play out. :thumbsup:

Big time potential.  Had a lot of hype coming out of Va Tech.

Hmmmm, sounds  exactly like someone else he played with on our team from Va tech!  So far we are batting .500 from there with one hall of fame Sack  machine and one sack of unfulfilled potential !  Hope the tie breaker goes favorably for us !  Lol !  (
 

I admit I’m sad we lost Harry  who was actually living up to his potential and off the field performed  far beyond reasonable expectations.  I actually will feel bad for him if the Bills win a SB just as he leaves after all he went thru. Great guy to cheer for and will take a bit to warm up to the new dts. All the preaching about developing and keeping our own and in my eyes we are letting a good, classy one get paid by another club because we signed a bunch of very avg or worse FA’s on the d line who gave us very little.   Glad we are keeping mckenzie and Morse with some others , but this one is a tough one to see walk out the door 🥲. Glad he’s getting paid , a shame things worked out  this way and his last Bills memory will be 13 seconds of crap !

Very athletic for a big man. With Groot, Oliver, and Settle, it will be a very athletic line. Watching his highlights (and I know they are just highlights from a small sample size), the way he took down QBs and ball carriers (with his length) reminded me of how Groot plays. Also in his highlights, he seems to get good push---playing on the offense's side of the line of scrimmage.

Now that we’ve plugged the hole at DT with a couple solid (and affordable) FA signings, can we rest easy about the Bills squandering the 25th pick on Jordan Davis?  I’d much rather watch him eat himself out of the league on some other team…

Never would've made it to us anyways. CB or wr most likely draft pick imo.

I think they take a CB, but in the second or third, not at 25. But then again, I’m never right about what the Bills are going to do in the draft…

Seems like he regressed last year, along with the rest of the Washington D.   Only 13 tackles and no sacks in 210 snaps in 2021.   After over 300 snaps and 5 sacks in 2020. 

 

 

In 2020 he got the extra snaps due to an injury to the other reserve DT. If anything this shows when he get opportunities he shines.

“The Washington Commanders have arguably one of the best defensive lines in the NFL. Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat and Chase Young are all former first-round picks.

 

So, it is sometimes easy to forget about Washington’s other defensive linemen. Matt Ioannidis and Tim Settle are Washington’s reserve defensive tackles, and both could start for other teams. Ioannidis remains a part-time starter and key rotation piece for the Commanders.

 

What about Settle?

After four years in the NFL, Settle is a free agent and will for an opportunity to start somewhere. He should have multiple options after showing flashes during his time with the Commanders.

Go look at his tape l think you will be impressed
