BuffAlone Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Might we replace him with Zach Cunningham? We seem to have more urgent first round needs. WR and CB/safety. I've been telling people...Wlb is the most important player in a McD defense. I'm not sure if that translates to a Frazier D,but all signs point Wlb,Cb,S in the draft. Toss in Wr,and a little depth,and that's a wrap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the McDermott D will be the Frazier D. Still think they grab a QB in there somewhere , though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 That sounds about right. And the McDermott D will be the Frazier D. Still think they grab a QB in there somewhere , though. I like Watson or Mahomes if they can get a late first pick or use the second on qb. If not, I'd take a flier on Chad Kelly if Jim vouches for the fella.

RyanC883 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 He may come back.. Likely his agent overvauled hims and told him there was no way the Bills could afford him. Or McDermott doesn't want a quitter back with the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I would like to see Brown back with the Bills. Let the best LB's start and have good rotational players/depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Who Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) What's all the quitter talk about? Did Zach do some quitting I was unaware of? His production tailed off the second half of the season and some folks think he started playing soft and thinking about staying healthy for his next contract. A lot of surmise.

LABILLBACKER Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Well he wasn't injured so something was going on? Maybe bring him back cheap on a 2 yr deal. Don't want to make the same mistake like London Fletcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Nobody ever mentions this, I guess everybody forgot, but Rex Ryan's defense is known to create linebackers out of thin air. Just look at his teams over the years and they crank out linebackers from nowhere. He's explained that openly before, the defensive linemen are supposed to tie up blockers and let the linebackers make the plays. That's one of the reasons Mario McPussypants became the cancer that he apparently is now permanently, because he didn't want his play to be setting up anybody else I think the rest of the league has got wise to this and they don't overvalue linebackers in Rexys system. So it's entirely possible that brown comes back to us Edited March 13, 2017 by Meathead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KollegeStudnet Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I could see Brown getting 6-8 million per. He doesn't have the credentials that Hightower has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of surmise. I didn't really see a tail off. Couple monster games early on that skewed expectations maybe, and a couple of bad plays against Ajayi and others. But still finished second in the league in tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His production tailed off the second half of the season and some folks think he started playing soft and thinking about staying healthy for his next contract. A lot of surmise. I was wondering about this too. Hard to tell who was and wasn't laying down a little late in the season. Ryans had lost the Defense by then I could see Brown getting 6-8 million per. He doesn't have the credentials that Hightower has. that's much too much for him. IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilcoam Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 For what its worth Zack had a top 5-10 PFF rating through the initial 11-12 games but as RB's pile dup yardage against us he swooned big time in the last 4-5 games, I believe that's the tail off folks are referring too, which affected ratings in whatever metric you want to use for all our starting LB's and Shaq The tail off was prominent enough that I was very surprised when he was named an alternative to the pro-bowl because lots of other ILB had better ratings jc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty McFly Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I mean he made the pro-bowl, granted as an alternate. The pundits had me believing we could not afford the guy. Clearly we can with our cap space, and we let Klein go without apparently any interest. I wonder if we are waiting to see what happens with Kendricks, or have a 5-6 million/year offer out to Brown who is also waiting to see what happens. Fill me in on the details on this hooker. I am out the loop on our LB FA hunt. Whos Kendricks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PirateHookerMD Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Fill me in on the details on this hooker. I am out the loop on our LB FA hunt. Whos Kendricks? Klein = Kuekleys backup from Carolina, went elsewhere Kendricks = Lance Kendricks, TE from RAMS, our new TE coach was the rams OC, but he also signed elsewhere now.

Don't want to make the same mistake like London Fletcher. Some players just want OUT. Teams are foolish to make them stay because they won't play with heart. ex LYNCH wanted OUT. Mario also wanted out. Some players who ant more $$$ play harder, some just hold out. What type do you want on your team? If Brown gets no offers then he has been schooled.
