Shaq has been disappointing all year now he was benched for who knows what reason (probably performance) we let Ragland go but maybe it was Shaq we should have let go. Our Dline is needs a lot of help in the draft! 

Either way DT isn’t our only need on the D-line.

Most of that damage was right up the gut and not on the edges.  His benching had zero to do with his play on the field.

He was benched for disciplinary reasons. McDermott said as much today. He’s been good against the run. Teams have run right up the middle.

 

With that being said, he has certainly been disappointing as a first round pick. He lacks explosiveness as a pass rusher. Shaq is a plugger.

Maybe people should wait and see before they jump to conclusions

20 games is jumping to conclusions? This mentality is part of the Buffalo curse of perpetual hopes and dreams. How long? When is it OK to call a guy what he is? A first round pass rusher with 20 games... 5 sacks, 4 TFL, 44 total tackles (solo and partial). Pretty weak. Not saying he's Erik Flowers or Aaron Maybin but he's not exactly living up to the high pick so it's a fair criticism after 20 games.

He didnt start, he still played in the game. They all rotate just like they do every game

Who knows, this coaching staff couldn't tell the truth if it hit them in the face. You know what he

said about (damaged goods) Benjamin today, and then when he got called on it, said he did'nt

understand the question.

Incorrect. He's been good against aginst the run. 

Not good enough imo...in a passing league, you need pass rushing capability

Fair enough, but I would be ok if that were the case...the difference in pass rush with Eddie was very noticeable

Shaq being a "solid run plugging DE" is a huge setback. We almost have to give him at least 2 years before we even think about another DE. We need 2 DTs, all new LBs, some OLmen, a QB, at least 1 more rookie WR, and some young blood in the secondary.

Not so sure about having to wait...Shaq was a Whaley pick and not necessarily the type of DE that McD prefers...if there is a pass rusher in the draft that meets value, I don’t think McD would not pick him just because Shaq was drafted two years ago.
