McDermott: Bills Need More Urgency from Dareus

[3rdand12]

Havent seen much from Adolphus that makes me think hes anything more than depth. I like Worthy a lot more but his concussion seems to be a real issue.

me either

[Radar]

This quote is pretty telling especially with Dareus out today because of another 'injury'.

 

I suspect that as the losses continue this season they'll release him by the end of the year and simply take the monstrous cap hit.

Here's hoping.

[pimp on da' net]

Mr Big Puff don't care. He gets his money either way! Thanks Whaley

 

It always comes back to the guy thats not here, HILARIOUS!!!

 

Btw, Its well known that Whaley didn't negotiate contracts, Jim Overdoff does...and he's still here.

[Real McClappy]

They didn't !@#$ up the pick.

 

How soon people forget how terrific Dareus was BEFORE Pegs hired Rex to !@#$ up everything.

This^

 

I hope McD can coach Dareus back up to the DT beast he was prior to Rex Ryan, We all know he can ball when motivated at a high level. Lets see how the season shakes out and hope he returns to form. If he does it benefits the team if they want to keep him or not, his possible trade value will increase if that is the direction the FO wants to go.

 

He obviously already sees the dramatic D improvement the last few games here. I hope that alone motivates him.

Hopefully the Bills' win against Denver without him in the lineup serves as some kine of fuel to motivate Dareus.

Bills beating Denver? What are you smoking?

Reality man. Aged for a solid week. It's smooth and you should try it.

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Would be shocked if we don't go DT with one of our 6 top 100 picks.

 

EDIT: And that's with or without Dareus on the roster.

Yes good idea - let's keep shedding star players and using draft picks to replace them. Then if and when those draftees become good players, we can turn on them and replace them, too! What could go wrong?

That would have been a good arguement to resign him before his contract expired, which they did. As many people seem to forget, with Dareus coming off an absolutely dominating year, they signed him to a market value contract to retain him. Bills fans rejoiced.

 

Unfortunately, he has been terrible since. He clearly has motivation issues, he is out of shape,and playing like a replacement level player at best. At his current level of play, they will do just as well with the JAGs they have been rotating in. Moving on from him at this current level will not cause the team to miss a beat. He is hardly any longer a "star player". I seriously doubt he has it in him to regain his once premier level of play, regardless of where he ends up.

[BringBackFergy]

Only the Bills could be on the clock with the choice of Julio Jones, JJ Watt, Patrick Peterson, AJ Green, and Dareus on the board- and !@#$ up the pick, then compound the gaffe with $100 million contract

SMH....some days I hate this team.

[Mat68]

The biggest win Mcd can get this year outside of a playoff win would be to get Darues motivated. If he can play up to his potential he can dominate the way few can.

We could do a osweiler type deal where we trade 99 and a second round pick to someone and get a 5th rounder back. Along those lines.

I don't know, here's a draconian thought, how about we keep and reward players that show consistent production.

[BillnutinHouston]

The Bills to this point have offered Dareus a lot of soft love, but it looks like McD is moving toward tougher love and I like it.

 

I think McD is seeing early signs that his program is working and is trying to use the momentum to bring Dareus along. I'm sure Kyle's part of the plan too.

[Magox]

I want more urgency from McDermott and Beane to stop shedding good players from the team.

 

Of course, because you love players who haven't performed consistently.

[Jauronimo]

Didn't look like we missed Marcel at all last Sunday.

[Magox]

They didn't !@#$ up the pick.

Yeah, Rex is to blame for all of Dareus issues?

 

You really are a piece of work.

[ctk232]

Its only a matter of time at this point. DT is going to be a huge need once Dareus gets cut and Kyle retires.

 

I mean, barring a turnaround season from him, look for FO to off-load him in the most cap friendly way possible. Sunday the Defense didn't really miss his presence - a lot of which had to deal with Kyle and the rest of the Front 7. But your point here also gives them some reason to keep Dareus around. If he proves enough, we need young talent at our positions so that we can maximize our upcoming Draft picks. Biggest concerns are DT/OL (aging Kyle, Incognito, and Wood), not popular or sexy given our lackluster WR corps, young DBs, veteran RBs, and a questionable QB. But teams are built and defined by the trenches, it's time we got ours.

 

But hey, 2-1 so far, let's see where this goes.

I agree. We're 95% losing both after this season. We'll have to land a high motor guy like meatball and a space eater like Dareus. Marcel has used up all his coupons. He got his big payday and I don't see the drive he once had. We'll need a QB, wr, LB replacement for Preston and 2 solid DT's. Throw in Mills replacement and there's your 6 picks in the 3 rounds.
