Yep, was just googling to confirm, Jones is a 1T.

 

So Settle and Jones at 1T, and Oliver and Phillips at 3T. Which is the best spot for both Ed and Jordan.

 

Lot of nasty beef in the middle of that DL now.

Ya and throw in Shaq and we are tough to run in at least.  Still need a pass rusher though...or just say ***** it and sign Gilmore opposite tre

Honestly, that will be a nasty interior DL for us, a BIG improvement from last year too.  Settle is a guy who can penetrate too from the 1T, while Jones is that big space eater type.

Bringing Gilmore in for a year would be a coup whether we like him personally or not

 

Doesn't seem likely, everything I am seeing its down to 3 teams and we aren't one of them.  But you never know, I would be all for it.

Hoarding other teams mediocre rejects? He had one good year with the Bills, cashed in-- and disappeared. Why would the Bills want him?

Because he would be cheap and could possibly have similar success in Buffalo again. Scheme is SO important to player performance. There are very few players good enough to transcend scheme and be a stud anywhere, most are scheme dependent in order to shine. If the Bills brought him back, they deserve the benefit of the doubt in regards to what Phillips can bring to the table again.

If the plan is to cut Star June 1, we still

need another big DT.  Ed always playing the 3, D jones always playing the 1 and settle and Jordan Phillips can play a little of both.  Ed and 3 big dudes and all are pretty good at pass rushing for their respective positions.

Basically,   Settle would have to stay at 1T.     Phillips can't play any 1T.    Turrible, turrible at it.    Might be a disservice to the up and coming Settle.   Doesn't feel like a Beane move but I knew this was coming and thought maybe Phillips and Zimmer might end up as the 3T's.   Jordan Phillips is a $1M-$2M player right now, IMO.

 

As for the cutting Star part.........

Phillips played 18 out of 34 possible games for the Cards. Hopefully it is cheap

This is why you can't get overly excited about "splash" moves.  The Cards thought they were getting a gem in Philips when they signed him for $10M per year after the year he had in Buffalo.  How did that work out for them?  Pieces have to fit schemes and the supporting cast makes a huge difference in the success of a player.
