Marlowe officially acquired in exchange for Mr. Irrelevant!  I'll take it.

 

I see what you did there.  Nice.

[TheyCallMeAndy]

Dirty Dean Marlow actually was solid during his time here. Good pickup!

[gonzo1105]

Apparently his wife has a picture of her crying excited to be going back to Buffalo. My the times have changed 

[Floydboy12]

I like the move. Makes perfect sense. 

[zow2]

I never heard his name much after he left Buffalo.  But he sure made some plays while he was here.  Hopefully this is the place that brings out the best in Marlowe.

What exact starting safety was available and what price were you willing to pay?

I am sure The Beanemaster weighed all the options. They all have their price. I will just have to trust that it was too high and hope that Poyer can get healthy 

[Demongyz]

Welcome back!!

 

I didn't want him to go when he did, but such is the way.

 

Go Bills!

[John from Riverside]

I don’t understand why anybody could complain about this unless it’s just simply a fact of the matter of getting a toy back that you wants already had

I have no real recollection of him when we was here. Anyone want to fill me in?

Filled in for our starting tandem there was no drop off

He was good enough to play the position, didn't get beat much.  Good player for sure.

[Joe Mama]

Good Special Teams guy. Believe he was leading Falcons in ST tackles.

I don’t think Marlowe is coming in here to be a starting safety. Like Hines, Marlowe is very good on STs. You know who plays a lot of STs for the Bills….Jaquan Johnson. This will allow Johnson the opportunity to focus on safety while Marlowe provides depth and take his STs  spot 

This could be a good point.  I wondered how this would impact Johnson, but this angle I had not considered.

When you put it that way, it sounds strange - but that's a strange way to put it.

Marlowe was waived 2x in 2018.  In 2019-2020 he was on the roster. 

He signed with the Lions, then the Falcons, in FA.

 

So we let him walk in FA 2 years ago, then traded a 7th to get him back.

 

Marlowe was waived to allow Bills to keep player on roster so he could be signed for IR.

This has happened a couple of time the last few years.

Will they cut him when Poyer comes back?

 

Feels like they're throwing away draft picks.

Bills go from having the best safety tandem in the league to one of the worst in half a season. 😩

 

Fortunately the Bills do not worry about your touchy-feely impressions.

Maybe you need to act it up and cry as well?

[Victory Formation]

Nice depth. Great move.

[Punching Bag]

Dean Marlowe played very well he needed to start for Poyer or Hyde one year but neither will be playing with him this time.

I expect Dean Marlowe will be starting as safety until Poyer is able to play.  

Poyer was not put on IR, even short term, and Bills likely want Poyer for playoffs.

 

Shame for Poyer since he was having a very good season.

[NewEra]

Helluva trade.  My buddy who’s a huge falcons fan is livid.  They’re in 1st place and already their starting S for a 7th.  I’d be pissed too

The part that gets cut out on here puts a bit more context to it though.

Stuck on the roster nearly every season McDermott has been coach. He’s a McBeane Special, versatile, smart, team first kinda player. Knows the system very well, said to be able to help out a lot of younger/newer guys with learning the scheme. Plays all special teams and only played at safety here and there since Poyer and Hyde had been rather healthy up until this season. I recall Marlowe recovered the fumble caused by Justin Zimmer on Cam Newton when they played the Pats at home in 2020. I also just recently learned they added Zimmer to the practice squad a few weeks ago. I think he left after 2020 with an injury settlement. Can’t recall where or if he played in 2021 and now he’s back. 
 

It’s a smart trade for them considering Hyde is out and Poyer is really beat up this year. I would think Hamlin stays out there whether it’s Poyer or Marlowe next to him.

You could have guessed this one after Hyde went down. It was a matter of compensation.

One year both Hyde and Poyer were out at different times and each time Dean was inserted and defense continued to play well.

 

Bills said they wanted to keep him but there cap issues.

Hamlin and Marlowe will be sold safeties with Hamlin being the thumper and Marlowe being the flexible one.

[Punching Bag]

Dean is already on Bills website roster. Sometimes it takes weeks for them to update it.  I think they are using his old picture however.

[Ridgewaycynic2013]

I would have thought after going on to 'Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman' that he was done with football.  A bit long in the tooth, too. 🤔

What?  Marlowe?!  I got the name wrong.  I thought they meant Cain.

Hey it is the guy who gave up the hail mary to D. Moore! Welcome back

Come on man. Tre, Poyer, and Hyde (combined on the same play) gave up a hail mary to win a game two years ago against the Cards. It’s football. Things happen. At least Marlowe’s team didn’t lose. Personally, I love this move. Shrewd move to shore up depth.

Some posters are always looking for that cloud inside the silver lining....

Did they lose? 

[Nitro]

Good move to bring in a guy who knows the defense and personnel.  He can play special teams and can be a veteran presence on the field and sideline for the young DBs.  This will factor in later down the line (Miami, NY Jets and NE games)

Facts matter. 

 

So your entire opposition to Dean Marlowe is that he gave up a hail mary pass? It is the only fact you have mentioned. Nothing else. So, by your own criteria, you would have to be opposed to having any DB on this team that ever gave up a hail mary pass.

 

Facts do matter. If you are going to present one superficial stat, then be prepared to be called out on just how idiotic you sound.

Yeah, they do! And nobody in the NFL has written a better play than Marlowe’s DR. FAUSTUS. Plus, he’s a great private eye.

Probably already been stated but the biggest concern is what this means for Poyer if anything 

 

 

No way they cut Poyer.  Marlowe isn't that good, frankly.

Beane stock 📈📈📈

 

Because I called it!

 

 

Nice call.

 

I had given up on Beane finding a vet safety for depth, but Beane is the man.

 

Not splashy, but helps with the unknowns with Poyer's elbow.

Yep - If poyer misses some time he can contribute.  Even if it's still Johnson as the backup, he has pressure knowing that there's a trusted player behind him.  

 

Beyond this - he can possibly get a look as a 3rd safety in some of those looks we tried against KC with Kelce.

So didn’t lose. So end of day doesn’t matter. Know who else gave up a Hail Mary that lost?  Hyde and Poyer. So yeah Facts Matter.

Exactly. You posted a fact. I posted a fact. It is crazy how buthurt you and other posters got after I posted that he gave up a hail mary. It is really baffling that me posting facts upset you that much.

It's not the fact, it is the relevancy of the fact. Your fact is not really relevant or meaningful.
