Except everything that has actually happened, and has been said by anyone close to the team, indicates that Hughes will be a full time player in any defense, especially after they have to shell out 12m a year for him. That is the going rate as well as the predicted rate by the best online site for contracts. You seem to be the only one assuming that Jerry Hughes will revert back to being a situational pass rusher, and seem to be assuming that he played a different position in 2013 and 2014.
The only thing I'm assuming is that Jerry Hughes won't be in a Bills uniform next season.
EDIT: UNLESS they have a plan to let Mario Williams go in 2016 when his dead cap hit drops to a 4th of what it is this year. As someone mentioned earlier in the thread, Mario will be 30 soon and Hughes is 4 years younger.

Wow.
Calm down Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula.

Everything at this point on either side of the discussion is assumption. We have no idea what kind of defense the Bills will be running next season. We can only guess based on the defenses Rex has ran in the past, but he might very well go a completely different direction in 2015.
-
He's been proven to be more than that in Schwartz's system, sure. Maybe his success will continue in Rex's system, maybe it won't. I mean it's not like players have never seen a production drop when switching to a new system. Only time will tell.
But it's certainly something the coaches will put a lot of thought into for a player that's going to be asking for such a large contract.
-
That doesn't mean it's not similar.

It's weird because I prefer brunettes/black hair chicks except for when large breasticles are involved. Dark hair and huge boobs makes me think of cheesy porn for some reason. SORRY KATIE PERRY. Kate Upton fits the mold better imo:

uggh..... IF Rex runs a 34 like most people here assume he will despite Rex and Thurman saying they will fit the scheme to the players. Hughes is a perfect fit as a rush LB. Also like others have already pointed out he played very well in a defense that a guy who learned under Rex deployed. How don't people remember this. He has been used as a DE/OLB the last 3 years (going back to the Colts. And was showing signs of progress with them).
thank you.
OG Randell Johnson!!
100% disagree
why would he only play 50% of the snaps?
Specifically, Hughes wasn't part of the base defense under Pettine, only coming on the field in sub packages and playing 52.8 percent of defensive snaps that season. Under Schwartz, Hughes was part of both the base and sub defenses but was used as part of a rotation, playing in 71.9 percent of snaps.
Assuming that new coach Rex Ryan and defensive coordinator Dennis Thurman implement the system they ran in New York, which Pettine also used in Buffalo, the Bills have two options if they re-sign Hughes:
- Use Hughes only in the sub defense, exclusively as a hand-in-the-dirt pass-rusher. This would mean Hughes wouldn't be on the field on early downs, which would diminish his overall value to the team.
- Use Hughes both in the sub and base defenses. Since Ryan's base scheme essentially uses three defensive tackles (Pettine used Marcell Dareus, Kyle Williams and Alan Branch) and only one true defensive end (Pettine tapped Mario Williams), Hughes would need to find a home at "Sam" linebacker in the base defense. That would mean him standing up at the snap and having coverage responsibilities on some plays, asManny Lawson did in that spot in 2013. A similar role didn't work out well for Hughes in Indianapolis in 2012, and the Bills might be better suited using Lawson at that position or pursuing a free agent like Calvin Pace.
In either case, Hughes' value to the Bills shouldn't be as high as it would be if they still ran Schwartz's scheme, which allowed Hughes to be a full-time defensive end and a threat to rush the passer on every snap. Yes, he had just as many sacks under Pettine in a part-time role as he did under Schwartz in a full-time role, but he came at a significantly reduced cost in 2013 than he would in 2015.
Likewise, Hughes theoretically should have less desire to return to the Bills since he would be either a part-time player or potentially miscast on early downs. If he waits until the free-agent negotiation period begins on March 7, he could find a lucrative offer elsewhere for a full-time role.

Geeze now the Patriots will have to use fully inflated balls AND they won't be able to circumvent the substitution rules? That doesn't seam very fair to them.
-
No doubt about that. I heard the Beastmode hat he wore on the first media day sold out in like 3 hours.
-
My future wife better make dinner dressed like that every day.
-
Man, you're a real riot.
Coming from a dude with an avatar from a show that was all the rage 10 years ago I'm not sure I value what you consider humorous or not.
-
Was that hat his Beastmode brand? I'm not sure what his logo looks like. But if so it's hilarious that they were thinking about fining him $100k for wearing one the other day and he wore it again just to say !@#$ you lol. He obviously doesn't care one lick.

Does the 'quote' function just simply elude you? Or is this an ongoing act of defiance?
Why in the world would I need the quote feature when I'm responding to the post directly above me? Did anyone NOT realize I was responding to Ryan L Billz?
Who the hell cares regardless? Do you have a giant stick up your ass constantly or what?

Funny movie. But I'm more of a "fly under the radar" guy.

That was one of the most masterfully written burns I've ever read. That kid is pretty intelligent.

Hi robot, my name is _____________. Nice to meet you.
I own a nightclub and have to listen to it for 10 hours a day sometimes. If I didn't find a way to come to terms with pop music being tolerable I would have shot myself in the face by now.
-
I was kind of hoping this was going to turn into a "Pics of hot chicks" thread.
-
Does anyone know how much it would cost to tag him this year?
I'd be interested to see how it compares to the $13ish million I think he'll be gunning for in FA.
-
can we get back to talking about boobs? I mean the female kind
Here's another picture of the star in the upcoming Carl's Jr. DB commerical:
Again, the proper, the reasonable and the correct (
) way to phrase that would have been: I prefer Skynrd to the Allman Brothers for Southern Rock. Skynyrds great, don't get me wrong.
But Duane Allman...I mean...well, anyways.
Maybe if you're striving for political correctness or trying not to offend people. I'm too lazy to do that though.
-
Saying you don't like them is certainly reasonable. Saying the Allman Bros suck ( whether you like them or not ) isn't going to enhance any of your points about music amongst reasonable folk.
Yeah I usually just say things I don't like suck because I'm an ass like that. I like that genre of music more than any of the others, just not crazy about the Allman Brothers. I don't really like the Doors either. Skynyrd > Allman Brothers for Southern Rock and Floyd > Doors for psychedelic rock imo.

Look dude. I am the resident liberal extremist on tbd, or at least one of them. That being said, I think it is ok to enjoy going to bills games with dudes and have it be kind of like a guy's day out experience. There's only eight of them a year for gods sake. I don't try and get in on my gf's bachelor night with her friends either. It doesn't mean I'm stuck in the 1950's. Perhaps I have never experienced the thrill of tailgating with women while listening to Katy Perry but I'd like to think our tailgates work out just fine. We should all agree to disagree on this one and just enjoy Katy Perry for what she is: a crazy chick who looks great on tv caked in makeup and has enormous t**s.
I like both ways of tailgating. Hell I just like tailgating in general. We actually always listen to rap regardless of who's there, which I'm not fond of either.
Wait what?
What, I don't the Allman Brothers. So what?
-
If they can sign him for under $10 million I'll be a happy camper.

I guess cry me a river when he walks to another team then. I dunno.
