His exact words when asked why he likes Buffalo was: "There is nothing to do here so you have to focus on football".  That is quite an endorsement. 

 

He was pretty blunt.

 

I'm in my 50s and live a pretty boring, conservative, family-centered life, so when I hear players say there's nothing to do in Buffalo, I don't quite understand.  What exactly are rich millennials looking for?

Telling you folks: JaWuan James is the name to watch.

 

Not only were he and Phillips together with Miami for years, he shares an agent with Kyle Williams, Isaiah McKenzie, and Robert Foster.

I like James too. I just want us to do whatever we have to do so we don't use our top ten pick on a right tackle. Whether that's Williams, James, Trent Brown whomever. A key move like that kind of unlocks the rest of the offseason. If we can corral a RT, a C, and a TE, everything changes.

He is the best RT on the FA market. I'd be more than okay with that.

Quinn and Daryl Williams would be good by me. Can't really say I'm overly interested in anyone else. Suh was basically nonexistent last year and that was playing beside Aaron Donald. Parker is a walking injury report. Stills is just another straight line speed WR, but I would take him at the right price. Ju'Waun James would be a nice get as well if we can't get Williams. The question in all of this is what are we planning to do with Dawkins? Is he staying at LT or are we kicking him inside? That will dictate the OL moves. 

 

Suh showed up suddenly in the playoffs. He plays when he wants to. That is my concern with him and I wouldn't want to commit big $$ which he will command.

You know he's been my pick at RT for a while! Here's hoping ?

Let's just say that I don't think all of the feel-good week 17 stuff for Kyle, which happened to be against Miami, went unnoticed by his (and James') agent

Always good to have ambassadors for the team. Makes me a bigger fan of Jordan Phillips.

 

Some people didn't like Stevie Johnson and his recruiting efforts didn't pan out, but I appreciated his efforts to promote Buffalo and the Bills.

 

If you follow him on Twitter, SJ13 is still putting a lot of effort into promoting Buffalo and the Bills.

Agreed. Its a key move imo as well.

I’m sure Applebees and Dave & Busters are smarting after THAT!

Sunshine, nightlife, a thriving economy, females, steak joints, clubs...ya know, fluff to fill the void.

Phillips does not want to play behind Suh again. That's the last person he'd be trying to recruit. If you listen to the interview he is excited for the opportunity to play more and happy he isn't in the shadow of Suh or Kyle Williams any more.

Agreed. He wants that job. Good to have hungry players.

Also interesting from the interview, I thought, was when Tasker was asking him what a 3 technique does and why it's important. Phillips really struggled to give an answer to that. Tasker basically had to tell him what a 3 technique does and why it's important and how it different from other DT or NT spots. Made me sceptical of whether or not Phillips is smart enough or studious enough to be a good starter in the future. He seemed lost.

I noticed that too. What I drew from that was his role is still undefined. I don’t think that he’s gonna be the 3 technique DT, I believe that that position is still fluid (enter Ed Oliver?).

Suh doesn’t seem like much of a “process” guy

dirty player sure. He balled out in the SB compared to Aaron Donald IIRC. 

 

Don't really want him terribly but he's not necessarily a team killer, or a bad influence, or anything. By all appearances a hard worker even with money. AFAIK his only bad reputation stems from playing dirty.

 

So I don't really know what a "process" guy is supposed to be lol. I don't love Suh but if a few malicious fines DQs you from being a process guy we're filtering down our talent pool on the defensive side to a really small group.. if Suh doesn't fit the bill.
