He showed some good athletic ability to go back and make the catch 1 Quote
Governor Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Be interesting to see if he beefs back up in Cleveland and what he looks like then. Quote
SoCal Deek Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Always like him and cannot believe the Bills coaching and conditioning staff got away with the professional malpractice of trying to change his body type after drafting him. Horrible!! 1 Quote
Big Blitz Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Thought he played hard and respected him. Still to this day have no idea what he does well besides bat balls. More career INTs then Sauce?? 1 Quote
TD716 Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Not sure why all the love for this player. It seemed every time his wave of lineman came into the game the other team ran right at his side no matter what the down and distance. Rarely beat an OT being physical , most sacks were hustle never/stopping plays Quote
Sierra Foothills Posted March 19 Posted March 19 1 hour ago, transplantbillsfan said: No he wasn't great and he never exceeded expectation. He was drafted in the 2nd round, not the 1st... and in the 2nd half of the 2nd round. He's been a significant contributor and occasional starter on a defense that rotates it's players in waves. And he's made many memorable impact plays for the team. Would have been nice for him to exceed expectations, but given where he was drafted, he met them Next thing I know people are going to start complaining Dane Jackson was a bust. Thank you very much. A lot of posters are a bit loose or ignorant about the specific values associated with draft position. People will say that AJ Epenesa was a 2nd round pick however as you point out, he was the 54 pick overall. The 2nd Round includes picks 33 to 64 so considering he was the 54th player selected, he's a lot closer to the top of the 3rd round as he is the top of the 2nd round, which makes him a low 2nd rounder. Similar fuzzy math is going on with those who keep saying that a 2nd Rounder was too much to give up for DJ Moore. The Bills gave up pick number 60 (remember the 2nd round is picks 33 to 64) so that pick is only 4 picks from the 3rd round... in other words it's a low 2nd rounder. When you additionally consider that the Bills also received the 165 pick (a high 6th rounder) along with DJ, the actual cost of the trade was 80.01 points (according to the Rich Hill Chart) which is equivalent the 64th pick... a low 2nd rounder (picks 33-64). In other words, DJ Moore essentially cost the Bills the 64th pick in the draft... the last pick in the 2nd round... a very low 2nd rounder. 1 1 Quote

"process" guy. I'm leaning toward that one being a McDraftpick. Either way our early round drafting needs to improve. 1 Quote
BillMafia716ix Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Mediocre player they held on to for far too long. He’s more than expendable 1 Quote

Hasnt been good enough in a long line of guys who disappear when the lights shined brightest Bolded sounds cruel. Anyway, I do agree with the sentiment that comp pick thing is important to us. Unfortunately, my guess is that he won't qualify. Deal will be something like $3.5M plus incentives and with his snap count last year it won't be enough. We'll see. Quote

Freak-O Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Solid player but he can be replaced. I don’t want to lose too many players like that though because we had a very tight knit team that felt a bit like a family and we want to keep that mentality. Too many new players and that might go away. Quote

H2o Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Good for AJ that he latched on with another team. He also could get his fair share of playing time with Cleveland as well. They haven't really been able to find a guy to sieze that role opposite Garrett on the DL. Quote
GreenDice Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Despite his occasional brilliance, I will not miss his untimely stupid penalties. Quote

Where should we split it? In the middle of each round? Nobody’s suggesting that there’s no distinction between Pick 1 and Pick 32 but the entire Round is still the second round. And remember it’s more than just a league wide sequential order. In the case of Round 2, it’s the second chance (out of 7) a team gets to make a selection. So it does matter. No? Quote

Yep, he had several penalties after the whistle I recall and screwed the bills. I think at least two of them were on third down. I remember thinking to myself he should be benched for the rest of the game for doing stupid ***** like that. Quote
