eball Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Thought both of these guys really helped themselves last night. I just re-watched the condensed version of the game (I was there live last night) and Lacey was all over the place. Beautiful sack and FF for Johnson also. 8
TPS Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Johnson will be an interesting decision, as will Be LDE in general. Love vs Johnson. I think Yarbrough has backed up Jerry previously, but Shaw is there now. Johnson may force them to keep 5 DE, Love being the 8th. The DTs are set.

You don’t cut a rookie DE you drafted that’s producing like he is. Zero chance he clears waivers. 5 1

Zero chance he clears waivers. I agree; he would be picked up by someone. So does that mean he takes Love's spot or do they keep 5 as I suggested?

Royale with Cheese Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Yarborough’s agent better start making calls. Johnson is taking his spot. 1

BillsFan17 Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Yarborough has done absolutely nothing with his opportunities, why we would assume his roster spot is a lock.... DJ absolutely makes this football team. 2
hemma Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 We have some good players that won't be on the team. Hope Beane can get something for them;, trade or picks. 2

I skimmed the replay late last night, and it seemed Lacey was all over the place! I’ll watch the whole thing a little closer later today and keep an eye open for Johnson.
Cheektowaga Chad Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Right now you have to keep Johnson. Playing too well not to. Plus he played linebacker in college and could be a back up to Alexander
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 LB and DE depth is a crowded field. Tough decisions will be made
whatdrought Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 I have thought for some time that Johnson might develop into a good player for us. people forget that while McD was a DB whispered in Carolina, he also got a lot of good production out of defensive linemen who were “nobodies”
YoloinOhio Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 The last MEAC DPOY before DW was Darius Leonard btw.
RocCityRoller Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Johnson has torn up 3rd and 4th string OL. I'd like to see him versus 1st and 2nd string OL. We know what we have in Lawson and Yarborough. Love is also showing well. Hughes, Murphey and Lawson are top 3. Crowded for 1 spot between Yarborough, Love, Johnson.
folz Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Yes, I think they keep 5 DEs with Love and Johnson getting the nod over Yarbrough. And I agree about Lacey, he was a man on a mission to keep his roster spot last night. He was all over the field, looked good in run support and made some plays in coverage too. He was one of the main guys that flashed for me last night. He was around the ball all night. Last year the Bills kept 7 Linebackers. This year, if they keep the same, I think your top 5 are set with Milano, Lorenzo, Edmunds, Thompson (as the 4th), Stanford (as your main backup middle LB). That leaves Lacey, Joseph, Dodson, and Maurice Alexander fighting for two spots. After last night, I think it is Lacey and Joseph. If they like Dodson enough, maybe he goes to the practice squad and I don't think the other Alexander has shown enough, so he's probably gone. Earlier in camp, some said Lacey's roster spot might be in jeopardy, but he may have secured it last night. Edited August 17, 2019 by folz 2
RocCityRoller Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 Lacey looked great. He took advantage of Thompson not being in. I think the last LB spot is between Mo Alexander and Johnson. I'd expect Mo to get the nod with Johnson trying to be snuck onto the PS.
