No Von, no Hyde, Poyer shouldn’t have played, Tre was a shell of himself… hard to extrapolate that game to this season. Other events contributed to that loss, too.

Loss of Milano hurts but losing Daquan Jones hurts more. Putting a 3T in to play 1T isn’t going to get us far into the playoffs. What a shame the Bills signed 1TDTs Tim Settle and Poona Ford this off season. I guess that might keep them from putting in a 3T to play 1T. (Ed Oliver is also capable of playing 1TDT, it's just a waste of some of the good things he can do. Jordan Phillips, Not So Much.) 37 minutes ago, TD716 said: 3T Incorrect. https://www.fieldgulls.com/2023/6/17/23764366/former-seahawks-dt-poona-ford-reveals-why-signed-buffalo-bills-nfl-news Quote Well I guess Pete’s technically correct since he’ll be back in a 4-3 scheme in Buffalo, presumably as 1-tech. “I’m picking it up pretty good,” Ford said about the Bills defensive playbook. “I know I’m going to have an opportunity to play all three downs. That excites me, especially the chance to get some third-down reps.” Edited October 10, 2023 by Beck Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 I think the Bills roll with Poona Ford and bring on a 1T DT to the PS and get them situated as a depth 1T DT. If Ford gets hurt or underperforms then I think the trade market will be used to address the 1T position. LB and CB could also be addressed via trade if a starter or depth is needed there. But I think for now the Bills are going to take these next three games to see where they need to go via trade as it is possible backups can and will step into roles effectively and trade assets can be used elsewhere on the roster.

I’m not a die hard Pats bandwagon jumper like almost all Pats fans are. So I’m not 100% but thought they’ve been docked draft picks and fined for at least 3 of those things. the fact remains however, multiple times they have been looked at for cheating or being unsportsmanlike in their reign. and just like any typical Pats fan, I knew you would find ways to argue it. Enjoy being the worst team in the division. Youve earned a lifetime of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl2526 Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 Another defensive tackle out there for the Bills to consider is Carl Davis. He's on Seattle's PS, 31 year old and has started NFL games. He was drafted in the third round in 2015 and has good athleticism to go with good size. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think going back is the answer. IMO, not obvious at all. Maybe they wanted to re-work the position. Or maybe they didn't think Lotulelei was playing well anymore but would have happily kept Phillips up to a certain price and Phillips got more on the open market. But with his bonus paid by another team he's now below that price. IMO they're not going to get him back but they like him. Hard to say for sure, though.

You said in relation to Ford stepping in for Jones, what if Ford goes down. I suppose we deal with the injuries if and when they come. There's no sense in attempting to cover every possible permutation that could result from injuries. And OK, we had a couple of key injuries on Sunday, why should we expect that to repeat itself, and if it does, then perhaps we need to start looking at our training regimen, coaching for how prepared our team is, etc. Milano was a huge loss, and one that I sternly warned about should we not start getting some capable LBs that could defend the run, where we currently rank near DFL. Jones not so much, his loss people are overreacting to. The odds of him playing in the next 12 games like he has to date were remote anyway. We'll see what happens, but Gunner and I have been having a go round in discussing and hoping that both Oliver and Rousseau bloom into elite players. If that happens we'll be more than fine. Our pass D will be OK either way. Milano was a good pass defender, but so are Williams and Bernard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
