Aussie Joe Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 This guy was picked at 96... He is a freaking steal... Adolphus Washington was picked in the 80's by comparison...

What am I missing, did Suh face tougher competition? The small differential in numbers may be far greater than I am giving credit for, but I would have though Phillips would have been touted higher. Easy. Suh was a once-in-every-generation talent out of college --- Phillips wasn't. With that said, the Phillips pick is huge because it sets the Bills up with an anchor in the d-line for years to come when it appeared that the Star Lotulei signing would serve somewhat as insurance after K. Williams retired. Phillips I thought would go in the 2nd rd for sure, but I also believed he could be drafted late 1st rd. Phillips still being around by the time the Bills picked again in the 3rd. rd is probably the biggest "gift" of all the Bills picks. However, if you have a hard time remembering why Suh was thought of so highly, just look at his Combine numbers.

Suh was a man amongst boys, whereas Phillips wasn't as dominating . That said I think Phillips will be as good as Suh in the pros. 1 hour ago, Aussie Joe said: This guy was picked at 96...

JESSEFEFFER Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 I would be curious about the number of snaps each played. That may tell the story.

BillsBytheBay Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) For what it's worth, I understand it's a different conference and everything but Phillips last year in college is very comparable statistically to Suh's 2008 season in Nebraska. Edited May 18, 2018 by JaxBills 1

He described my life damn near to a T. He has a great message and I guess I needed to hear it today. BIG EDIT: I looked up Catfish Cooleys other YouTube's and the first one is of him drinking a quart of vinegar then snorting hot sauce and pouring hot sauce in his eyes. Just to prove that since he quit drinking he is not a little weenie. HAHAHA. from an actual inspirational self help video to jackass. The intenet is a helluva drug. Oh boy.

I'm not sure about Suh but Phillips played somewhere around 90% of the defensive snaps for Stanford last season, which is a lot for a DL. He said he would have to pick and choose some plays where he wouldn't go all out in order to preserve some energy. As part of a consistent rotation, he has a chance to standout early in his career. Especially as he learns from a guy like 95. And a lot of his flaws can be corrected with coaching. I also thought it was funny to see that bit from a scouting report on Kyle, saying he's not much of an athlete, haha. It's funny because plenty of coaches and teammates have said Kyle is one of the best natural athletes they've been around. He's what they call a "big body athlete." He has an explosive first step, he's strong as hell and just as smart. I hear he's also a ridiculously good golfer.

Suh was physically dominant in college and had an explosion that Phillips simply doesn't have. Phillips gets the job done but lacks the explosion. That's why a lot of his tackles are past the line of scrimmage, not behind it like Suh's. Nailed it. Suh was dominant in the NFL at first too, until his work ethic, poor attitude, and lack of discipline on the field caught up with him. The guy was an absolute monster, complete waste of talent at this point. On 5/18/2018 at 5:04 AM, BillnutinHouston said: Heart is not a measurable. Very true Just ask Rudy ?

Is he still on the team? I see his career being much more consistent, and probably longer than suhs, but he'd be hard pressed to be as dominant as Suh was early on, before he self destructed. 1
