OldTimer1960 Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 2 hours ago, FilthyBeast said:  I also think Epenesa will be cut or traded this summer even if he looks good in camp again. Too smallish of a player and seems like a bust unfortunately.  Speaking of rotation, I know that McD and Frazier seem to value this concept but you don't sign a guy like Von Miller to be a situational pass rusher. He's definitely getting 60% of the snaps minimum each game which means a lot of these other guys will have to make the most of their time on the field.  Also going to be a juggling act each week in terms of the inactive list again and which both Lawson and Phillips will have to embrace during their 2nd tour of duty here if they are in fact on the final roster. Too smallish?  He lost like 20lbs from his weight in college because that is what the Bills asked him to do.  I think he will be here and play well when given the opportunity.  He will be the #3 or 4 DE (Basham will be the other).  Epenesa showed significant flashes in preseason and some in the regular season despite being stuck behind 2 vets whom the coaches wanted to play out of respect.   Now, I could be wrong, but that is how I see it.  He isn’t likely a starter with Miller and Rousseau ahead of him, but I think he can be a solid reserve.

Orlando Tim Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 When Shaq and Phillips were here in 2019 they were starters, now they are definitely backups.

DapperCam Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 This tells me that they aren't 100% sold on AJE and Boogie. They are bringing in serious competition that could cause them to not make the roster, or be healthy scratches (like Boogie was a bunch last year).
