YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Purdue guy. He’s 26... drafted by the Bucs in the 5th in 2015
Mountain Man Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 I remember him being drafted. He had a load of talent but not much production. Worth kicking the tyres and maybe he works better here. There is room on the roster for backup edge rushers so does no harm to see what he is like
YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2018 Author Posted May 15, 2018 He reminds me of Jalyn Holmes who just got drafted by the Vikes in the 3rd.
HappyDays Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Another guy with a lot of physical talent that never reached his potential. This is the McDermott archetype for depth players. Also I have to wonder if Shaq Lawson's position is in jeopardy.

Shaq sounds motivated to have a good year - but talk and production are 2 different things.
Logic Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Ok this is just getting weird now. Hughes Lawson Murphy Yarbrough Fede Odhigazuwa Love Lewis Boesen And now they're bringing in Russell? How many DEs can you realistically put on the roster? At this point, one would have to be downright blind not to consider the possibility that either Hughes or Lawson (smart money is on Lawson) will be cut or traded in the near future.
YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2018 Author Posted May 15, 2018 If he’s PS eligible, they are probably just stirring the depth guys in camp to get a good mix and maybe stash him

You can never have too many Defensive Ends. In the strictest technical sense Trent Murphy is an Outside Linebacker. No harm in bringing in players to see what they can do. Then have them work it out in training camp and see what happens. 2

Trent Murphy is not an outside linebacker for the Bills. He may have been that for the Redskins in their 3-4, but he is listed as a DE for the BIlls and I doubt you'll see him line up as an off-ball linebacker very much. 3
SoCal Deek Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Bring back Maybin! Bring back Maybin! Bring back Maybin! ? 1
Soda Popinski Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Ya gotta go to camp with 90 might as well go with 90. I'd like to see a couple more olinemen being brought in though.
White Linen Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Our secondary played pretty well last year. We had an excellent turnover ratio. Our LB's, IMO, overachieved and did a decent job. Our pass rush, yds allowed and pass rush was not good. They are making a concerted effort to improve the run defense and pass rush. Bring in the DE's. The pass rush is critical to a McDermott defense. 1

Of those, Hughes and Murphy are the only locks to make the roster. All the rest are basically auditioning for the remaining few spots

Shaq's role should be to set the edge and stop the run and get clean up sacks, he'll never be Bruce Smith/Mario Williams/Aaron Schobel but could be a Phil Hansen/Ryan Denney type.

As you can tell from my avatar pic, I expect Murphy to have a big impact on the Bills defense this year. The book on him coming out of college was that he'd need a few years to really acclimate and adjust to the pro game. JUST as that was starting to happen with the Redskins, his injury and suspension occurred. Now, he's back healthy and has something to prove, and the Bills are going to be the beneficiaries. I look forward to seeing Murphy and Phillips -- the Stanford Destroyers -- meeting many quarterbacks in the backfield for years to come.
BringBackFergy Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Not sure if this guy has a nickname yet or if he is called one by his friends and family. Do you guys have any suggestions for nicknames for Ryan Russell? How about: Railroad Crossing! Lay Down the Tracks Hustle Russell
