Low Positive Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 If he does, it will be because of a change in scheme. Unlike Teller, Basham had plenty of chances here to prove himself in actual regular season games. 4 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akcash Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I feel like Shaq Lawson has slightly better burst being a vet with a better pass rush skill set and more stout in run game.

JohnNord Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 All Pro Boogie Basham? I don’t know about that…while Boogie definitely looked better than he had in previous years, the bottom line was that he couldn’t beat out UDFA Kingsley Jonathan. Even if he did, he would be the 5th or 6th DE on the team. Even with a DL rotation, where was he going to get snaps? If anything I think he could be the next Isaiah Hodgins. A player that was buried on the depth chart with the Bills that left for a team which gave him more opportunities that he made the most of. I’m sure some fans will continue to whine about it too. 3 minutes ago, Augie said: How many times is the latest guy to leave going to be the next Wyatt Teller?

Did Breane not give him the time (one more year) to develop like he did to Teller who is now an all pro G or did beane make the right move why? Obviously from his post-cutdown interview, Beane is concerned about that too. But he seems more concerned with keeping the guys who are best for THIS year. But I do need to point out the "one more year" thing. I'm not sure this is your mistake, but Teller did not need "one more year" in Cleveland. He played "right bench" the first half of the season after the trade, took over for injury and played decently, then became a 2nd team all-pro the following year on a strong RUNNING team (4 for attempts, 3 for yards). It's been said previously that Beane traded Teller and he became an "instant all pro" in Cleveland, that's not true. Beane traded Teller who sat on the bench, then became a 2nd team all pro 2 years later - and again, on a strong RUNNING team. 9 minutes ago, Augie said: How many times is the latest guy to leave going to be the next Wyatt Teller? As many times as Beane trades off a guy we drafted with years left on his contract. Well, OK - I didn't hear anyone suggesting that about Zach Moss or Cody Ford, but then, I didn't hear anyone suggesting that about Wyatt Teller the first year after we traded him either.

Sierra Foothills Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 The OP has a fair question though I'm not a big fan of dragging Teller into the discussion. Will it be viewed as a mistake to trade away Boogie Basham (especially for almost nothing)? Basham had his best preseason so far and I for one was excited to see how much he improved. And though I was happy when we drafted Epenesa, I would rather have traded him than Basham. I hope McBeane got this one right though I'm a bit worried that they didn't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 IMO I was really surprised when Beane traded Wyatt Teller because to me Wyatt always looked promising and showed a ton of potential. Didn't understand why Beane dealt him so quickly. I don't feel this way about the Boogie trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blacklabel Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Wyatt Teller is kind of a unicorn situation. He played DL thru high school and only switched to OL in like his junior year of college. He was still coming along and developing and learning the position. I guess they must've figured other guys on the roster were ahead of him. It's all hindsight now. Does he turn into an All Pro with the Bills or does Cleveland's scheme just suit him better? I dunno. I doubt Boogie goes off for some epic All Pro season. He's likely a depth guy no matter what team he's on. Can't wait for more posts like these during the season. Isaiah Hodgins makes a five yard catch: Beane is the worst! Boogie tackles a guy after a ten yard gain: Beane messed up! Waived draft pick Nick Broeker starts a game in Houston: it's Teller Part Two and Beane is still the worst! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 I’m just not sure what they envisioned for boogie when they took him. Was it actually dramatically different than we saw? I’m sure a little more upside but they couldn’t have expected him to be a breakout star or anything. Just a rotational piece. and if that’s the case there’s a lot of questions about why make the pick in the first place if a guy off the street like shaq is fine in that role. Go ahead and dedicate the valuable pick elsewhere 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddyjj Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 No Boogie was not a multiple game starter for the Bills like Teller. Boogie got 2 full years to prove his worth. Boogie has no burst or ability to get low around the corner to QB. Boogie will not play 5 technique DE for Giants but will have to transition to OLB. Not sure he can 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like a need pick, but the need wasn’t really there with Addison/Huges/AJE and Rousseau the round before on the roster already. Really one of Beane’s worst picks from a process standpoint IMO.

NewEra Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 He’s 25 years old. Epenesa is 24 Rousseau is 23 Yet he needs more time? They thought Kingsley Jonathan was better. You might be right.
