he's a good pass rushing DT. the rest of it, not so much. i'm glad he's back but he's expensive.

 

The Patriots were throwing him to the ground left and right on Sunday.    It was yakety sax level stuff.  He is such a fake hustle poser I literally can't stand seeing him on the field.    And I absolutely KNEW by midway thru 2021 that the Cardinals would cut him because he was terrible..........and that the Bills would be there to pick him up hoping to recapture the guy who rushed the passer well for them in his walk year.   What I didn't expect was to pay him around $5M when he was lucky to get another chance in the NFL at all after how he coasted in AZ.   He showed an ounce of juice last year between injuries but has been total trash this year.   Like 2022 Rodger Saffold bad at DT.

Money was running low from PS call ups and signing guys to active roster for injury replacement. Not sure this indicates an immediate move.

 

Still, I'm expecting sometime in the next week for the Bills to have a fresh new LBer.

 

Agreed. They need this for the season and IR replacements. That doesn’t preclude signing a TE, DT, etc. I am worried about TE this Thursday. At least we have plenty of bodies at LB, but if Morris can’t go then we are down to just Kincaid.

i am not at all disagreeing with you but not agreeing with you 100%. Maybe 97.43%.

 

Phillips is a great depth DT to come in later in the game for a few snaps and earn 20ish snaps per game. He's equal to "Horrible" Harry who was only Horrible because he was truly horrible and whooped around all over the field.

 

Saffold, Neschke, Feleciano are popular players everyone hyped on but ultimately showed their lack of value. We have a few on our team now overpaid mixed with undertalented.

Considering it didn’t happen, yes.

 

I can’t even count the number of quality guys we have been linked to in-season but it never happened.

And yet immediately in the very next offseason trade happened. 
 

I cannot tell you how many times teams think they are better than they are in season. Hold only to move immediately for a lesser deal after

DJ Chark is bad, hopefully not him. 

 

He was really good with the Jags and is a big target that can get downfield.  Kinda like a Davis clone but better at other things also...abysmal catch rate tho...makes Davis look like the most surehanded receiver of all time. Career 55.2% catch rate with a HIGH of 61.9% when he had his 1000 yard season with the Jags in his second year

Well I full expect to see even more Aaron Maybin-esque flopping on Thursday from our cheerleading hero Phillips..........stay tuned for the drama! :lol:

We have a TE on the PS and Gilliam does work with the TE group. Not awe inspiring, but we have bodies there for Thursday, I guess.

 

LB, that's all we have is a bunch of bodies. Williams seems like he's getting in the dog house and behind him we have Dodson and...AJ Klein. Spector is nursing a hammy now.

I’m hearing it’s to sign Beasley back 

It wouldn't shock me.  The offense has not been the same since he has been gone.  But instead of putting serious effort in replacing him, they trot out the Mckenzies and Hartys of the NFL, bottom tier starters.  But we have a 12 man DL rotation tho!
