Stuffing the run for a DT is a lot more about holding the point of attack and freeing up your linebackers to make tackles then actually making tackles yourself. It looks like to me people are pulling a stat from PFF and using that as the only determination of how good Lotulelei is. For me, Beane and McDermotte have my full faith and if they think Lotulelei is what they need, then I am all for it. I know what a run stuffer is and does, I played football since I was young to my college years. I'm just stating that he isn't even graded well against thew run, if you find somewhere that he's a good run stuffing DT than post it for all to see but you won't, nowhere on here does it state he is good and holding the point of attack. 8 minutes ago, Crayola64 said: Oh so you haven’t watched him.

Robert James Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Given that McDermott coached him as DC for years in Carolina, and that Beane was at Carolina that whole time as well, I trust their ability to gauge his value to the Bills. 1

Then why did you make such and emphasis on his number of tackles? Who grades are you using, PFF? So are they the universal source on determining a player's value now?

akm0404 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Guy on the internet has googled around a bit looking for evidence of a player's stoutness against the run. Assumes he knows better than people that have spent years working directly with the player, and a staff of people that devote their entire professional lives to evaluating NFL players. Adds up. 1

Who is saying he's terrible against the run?

Again you have provided no new information so I'm going to suggest you havent found any new info to add?
NewEra Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Really hope it’s not more than 15-20 mil gtd.......wishful hoping
The Poojer Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 I'm surprised by this move after learning from this board how much Beane seems to dislike devout Jews on his team, why would he go after one of the island folk? This seems so out of character /sarcasm 3
BillsFan17 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 The fact that the figures haven't been released leads me to believe the deal will most likely favor the Bills. 1
NewEraBills Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 It's about familiarity and reliability. They know this guy. Secondly, Star doesn't make a lot of headlines but he does the dirty work. Not a very exciting signing but should be one that makes it more difficult for people to run up the middle on us.
MrEpsYtown Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 This guy is going to be a beast for us. This takes me back to all of the posts questioning the move for Jordan Poyer. Some people wanted to re-sign Corey Graham so Poyer could be the #3 safety and special teams player.
LABILLBACKER Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Love the signing maybe a bit to long. We should get 3 good years out of him. Now let's draft a quality DT.
akm0404 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Kyle Williams re-ups for 1 year. How terrible is this signing based on ProFootballFocus? lol.
