JohnC Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Serious question: is there any evidence of Dareus not giving full effort when he's not injured or suspended? Seems to me he goes all out when he's in there; the key isn't his attitude it's staying healthy and out of trouble. The key is to use him properly. He thrived under Schwartz and Petine. Rex wanted players to adjust to his scheme while a smart coach would have a philosophy underpinned by the notion of putting the player in the best position to succeed. In my mind Dareus is a top five or better interior lineman. Under Rex his production didn't match his talent level because he wasn't wisely used. Dareus plays a position where stats don't always reveal how well a player plays or how important he is to the defense. Dareus's biggest talent when he is playing well is applying pressure up the middle. Not many interior lineman can consistently do that. He can when the right defense is called. Using him as a nose tackle is wasting his special talents.
RevWarRifleman Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Sounds like a quote Hank Bullough would make. Isn't it "shape up or ship out"?
C.Biscuit97 Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Yay! Off-season tough talk!!! Dareus will be a monster this year and be one of the best DTs in the NFL like he was when he signed his contract. It's so funny how some people talk out of both sides of their mouth. If the Bills let MD walk after being an all pro DT, they are cheap.
oldmanfan Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Small but crucial point, oldmanfan: there are no ex-Marines. Proper term: Former Marine. Multiple Pro Bowls and a Hall of Fame career....in Buffalo? With Young Nathaniel as O-coordinator followed by the Wrecks mess and the Bills QBs? It's called a pipe dream because it is only found in the opium pipe. Thanks for correcting me on the Marines. Utmost respect for anyone who served.

Certainly the staff couldn't have been happy with his hammy pull last year. He was obviously out drinking with Shady. He definitely wasn't, but it had as much to do with him playing to his responsibility as anything else. He was asked to be mostly a space-eater and he did a good job at that. Just not the kind of job you tend to notice while watching a game.
mikemac2001 Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Just let him attack and he will be fine I think defense is already better bc of 4 down lineman going towards the offense
PO16FFS Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 the stank will stay until the stank is gone....that means you MD99, that means you JH55, that means you SW14.
mikemac2001 Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 the stank will stay until the stank is gone....that means you MD99, that means you JH55, that means you SW14. So your saying all players in the past have no chance to make a difference in the future (pre med era) That's so dumb
YoloinOhio Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Sucks? Dude, since 2011 (the year he entered the league), he ranks 6th in sacks by a DT. And that's with having missed half a season last year. i thought that was a joke post but...
DirtDart Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I think you can keep the racism stuff to yourself. If I've read those salary numbers, he becomes way easier to trade / cut after the season. Makes a lot of sense they are going this route with him. Huge fan of his, but its hard to argue that the time to buckle down for him is now. I was waiting for someone to touch that ignorant statement.
26CornerBlitz Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 @ChrisTrapasso In 2014, as a one-gapping 3T, Dareus was a Top 5 DT in football. He'll re-assume that role in McDermott's defense this season

John from Riverside Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 when i was 17, it was a very good year.... You were 17 in 2014?......young buck......
26CornerBlitz Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 when i was 17, it was a very good year.... Completely relevant to the discussion. Thanks.

He'll re-assume that role in McDermott's defense this season There are some things (like this) that do give me hope for this next season We have lost some pieces on defense and we are relying on some young players to take those spots....but the MAIN cogs of the defense seem to be going back to defensive schemes that they excelled at. If Marcel gets back on track this offense will look instantly better. We found a way to improve our linebacking core LATE IN THE GAME....which was very nice. On offense...the blocking schemes that the OL excelled at last year really have not changed.....the running game may still be very good. I still think one of the biggest factors will be the change out of the coaching staff......hoping to be prepared to start the season.....less stupid penalties on both sides of the ball. Stop beating ourselves and force other teams to beat us

row_33 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 always fun talking to friends who are Vice Principals at high schools, responsible for discipline. Me: How'd your day go, friend? Veep:Oh great...... 40 losers tromped through my office promising to stop using drugs and start getting up before 11am and coming to class and start studying and make it work out. Me: how many of the 40 are going to do ANY of their promises. Veep: I think a few over the last 10 years have turned it around, that makes it about a .01% success rate.
