Canadian Bills Fan Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 So I think this means no chance we sign Suh now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden*Wheels Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 We needed bodies period at the spot. Good start. Just hope the bank ain't broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be surprised, but his play last season didn't indicate a guy worth signing for 5 years, more like 2 with a team option for a third. Just because it's a 5 year deal doesn't mean the deal won't essentially be structured as you describe. Lets wait for the details. Star alone will not make the D great but he is a piece of the puzzle that will help. Edited March 13, 2018 by Juice_32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 2 minutes ago, Magox said: I have mixed feelings of this pick. On one hand he fills a big need and probably will be a good run plugger. On the other hand he doesn't get many tackles or sacks and he hasn't graded out well with PFF. Not to say that they are the be all and end all but it is a data point. I have heard arguments that he has played well despite his lack of stats but I can't lie, I'm a little concerned. But I do trust the process. I do trust their familiarity with him and if they are good with him than so will I. Here's to hoping that he ends up being a good run stuffer for us. Hopefully he doesn't break the bank either. He fills a need for sure. I find it interesting how many coaches/GM's go after players from their former teams. On one hand you can say well they know them better than other players which is true but in a perfect world you would select the best players from the 31 other teams not favor players from a particular team because you know them.

Mat68 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Makes complete sense. Biggest need. One of the best players available. Had the best years of his career while playing under Mcdermott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Now Moment Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The guy eats space and takes up blockers. The people saying no on here want the DTs that get 10 sacks. He's not flashy but he gets the job done and frees up the dlineman around them. First part of a new DLine. I like it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Star is really that type of player, but DTs aren't just a fill in position anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the casual fan, his 1-2 tackles a game will look small, but this is huge positive from a scheme standpoint, IMO... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm0404 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Remember a while back when the Bills' front office would literally do nothing but sleep through free agency and the draft? Obviously the proof will be in the pudding (though we got some decent playoff pudding in year 1), but at least this is an organization we can feel good about TRYING to get better.

Wayne Arnold Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 He absolutely stunk last year. Hopefully he was battling an injury. Gotta trust McBeane here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you guys remember a more exciting off-season? I cannot!! If we sign Bradford and draft Rosen or Mayfield I will personally find the peter pan guy and buy him a plate of Duff's wings and a beer. Or he may prefer some hummus and chardonnay but whatever his poison I'm buyin... Edited March 13, 2018 by smuvtalker 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
