Tipster19 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 It doesn’t matter how but before the season begins I would really like to see the Bills acquire a tough guy, an enforcer of some sort on defense. Jerry Hughes was almost that guy a couple of years back but he mellowed out a bit in the last couple of years. He committed too many costly penalties before and now he isn’t even on the team as of right now. Not to pound a tired drum but the position that would be the best to have a tough guy at would be the MLB. As we all have realized for quite some time is Edmunds is not that guy. Even if it isn’t at that position I would still like to see that type of player somewheres on the defense. Our most physical players on the team right now imo is our Tackles. Dawkins and Brown will take care of Josh but we don’t have a very physical defense and I think that could be the missing aspect for this team to get to the next level. Last night I was thinking of Jack Lambert against the Cowboys when one of their guys were messing with the Steelers’ PK and Lambert just slammed the guy to the ground. THAT’S the kind of mentality that I would like for the Bills’ to possess. I wonder if there’s that kind of player in the draft that we could get. 12 3 7 5 1 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 You mean a guy who can get us a bunch of personal fouls for 15 yards like JERRY did over and over again when he was young. pass. Not needed in this nfl. It’s more of a liability at this point. It’s not like Von Miller is a cream puff nor Milano. Poyer is a tough dude as well. We don’t need a cheap shot guy. 12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorspikes51 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I’m intrigued about trading up for Thibodeaux if he starts to slide. He can learn from Von and we’d have an excellent rotation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already invested 1st and 2nd round picks in Epenesa, Rousseau, and Basham and now a big contract with Von Miller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 There was a guy the Jags tried to designate as "offensive weapon" on the roster a few years back and the NFL said "err that's not a position fellas, try again." I presume the same applies to "Enforcer". 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play with soiled pants, flatulence at will, biting opponents? Overt violence usually results in penalties against your team, although in a 'Gronkowski level incident', it is welcomed. How about finding the fan that beaned Fournette with the beer can a few years back? If I remember correctly, McDermott was down there ready to open a can of 'whupass' on Lennie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bferra13 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The defense plays Jauron ball and that's what I dislike. Wish they were a bit more aggressive. But that's the game they want to play I suppose. Don't need an enforcer lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Problem is a lot of these enforcer types get abused in the passing game and they also can’t play that way for very long if they want any longevity. One guy I loved when he was on the Bucs was Jordan Whitehead. Dude was a heat seaking missile that brought a physicality to that defense. But do these guys continue to play that way into their 2nd contract? Milano and Poyer have played that way in spurts but seems like they all end up making business decisions now and then.
