Expand I can't argue this. My only gripe OVERALL is that we don't have a premier pass rusher. Beane was most certainly in the market for one, but it didn't pan out. I see a move in the very near future. Star is just Star. I think he's easily upgradable, but not really a "problem." I do think there's merit in discussing a player's worth. It's not like any of us are making decisions on how to proceed. 2

I would be shocked if we don't draft a baller edge rusher next year. 1 1

Expand Any draft pick or FA able to occupy space and a make more than a handful of tackles per season. Haven't spent a whole lot of time looking into names because Star is here for the 2019 season.

I think we want to discuss Bills football and discuss what we as fans are seeing on the field when the Bills play games. That's the whole point of this message thing.?? Expand Having a voice doesn't absolve you of being an Idiot.
Dave Allen Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I trust Beane. If he's not holding his own, he'll be gone after the season and they can use the savings to pay Jordan Phillips.

CEN-CAL17 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I’d like to see Vincent Taylor called up soon.... Peko I haven’t seen anything yet.
Thurman#1 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 It does seem Lotulelei isn't doing as well this year as he did last year. Is it an injury or something? Hard to know, but if it's just that he's wearing down, they'll be looking to replace him next season. But liability is probably too strong a word.

If it weren't, I'd only have about 5000 posts, not 70,000. 1
Augie Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I’ll be completely honest, I have a hard time judging line play during game day viewing. Can you guys tell in real time (other than the really obvious stuff), do you evaluate watching replays of the broadcast, or do you watch the All-22 to form your opinions. I’m am NOT good at judging line play in real time with the TV view. If you can do it better, hats off to you.

Expand It's impossible to judge in real time for me, I need to be able to slow down/rewind action from different angles to get what's going on.

Expand Do you work for the NSA, or have you hacked into the Patriots network? If the latter, I hope you are in some sort of witness protection program! Ernie Adams will track you down! 2

There are plenty of good space eaters available for less than $4 million/yr. Star makes way too much for a guy who doesn't have the capacity to get to the QB or actually make the play.
Rocket94 Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 (edited) Star will definately not be here when his contract runs out. Edited October 25, 2019 by Rocket94 1

Big Turk Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 I think a lot of what happened last week was due to the post bye week blues

Note that on the highlights that you linked, Star actually had a full hold of Michel and could hold on. Or plays where he gets fully pushed back by a single blocker. He's a middling space eater who's nowhere near worth his contract at this point.
