TigerJ Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 An interesting acquisition. OK, he's not been a great teammate in Miami. I'd like to know a little more about why. He was drafted in the second round, but even then, he was described as a first round talent. He didn't like being in Miami. I don't know if there is anything McDermott can do to unlock the potential of Phillips, but the potential is there to make a team want to try. The Bills are not depending on Phillips to be a starter. He's a rotational guy. Given limited role they will be asking of him and the limited cost it's probably worth taking a chance on him. The Bills have a pretty good lockerroom right now. If Phillips is not a cancer, he could be well worth it.

LSHMEAB Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 This move tells me that McDermott may just be humble enough to accept that in order for him to build that culture he so desperately craves, he's going to have to deal with some guys who aren't perfect. In business, whether it be the NFL, IBM, or Belle Tire, you either adapt or die. I like the move quite a bit symbolically. Maybe they're finally catching on. 1

I honestly dont understand where you are coming from with this.....Kelvin B. is a lazy not performing malcontent with a big mouth and McD keeps trotting him out there....... 1

I'm a Tigers fan and speaking on their run of success, Jim Leyland noted that the team lacked a "dirtbag." He ascribed to the theory that having such a player was necessary for ultimate success. I think that's why a team among the best in baseball for 10 years never got a ring. That theory is even more valid in football than baseball. When this team allowed Tre White to be assaulted by Gronkowski, I knew there was a serious "culture" problem. I like to think McD has learned that he's gonna need some dirtbags.

LABILLBACKER Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Like anyone predicted Bill Belichick and the Patriot way would tolerate a LaGarrette Blount type player. Stop shopping for choir boys Sean and bring on a few more bad asses.... 1

Buddo Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 While people can justifiably complain about not getting O-Line or WR help, at the end of the day, you have to pick up guys as and when they become available. Swapping out a JAG DT, for a 2nd Round DT, who can play, is mostly a no-brainer. This is a move born of opportunity, rather than one of need, and I don't think complaints about it are justified tbh. 5 1

Some guys will go as much as to even try and give them every play and basically everything they a can remember from the play book before they forget.

It isn't like they have guaranteed he'll be on the team for the next three years. He gets pretty much the veteran minimum and a shot to show he can display enough character. If he can't, they don't lose anything if they cut him. 1
