PUNT750 Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 I congratulate the GM & HC for making these changes to the defense. It isn't easy or pleasant to make changes at mid-season. Players will sit when they believed they were starters. The "process" is about winning! 7
Bangarang Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Taylor played like 10 snaps last week but he’s taking over? 4

1st Ammendment NoMas Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) We will see how it all plays out, but this seems to be the direction the D is taking. It seems mostly to be Jordan Phillips taking over for Oliver and perhaps Liegut rotates in. He's only 300 so he seems a little small to be the space eater and take on double teams. Thats V. Taylor and. he will spell Star and perhaps knock his snaps down. The big change is getting Oliver off the field and seeing if Star is part of the problem. Kudos to the Bills for addressing it mid-season. I think a lot of game film from the last 3 weeks is being digested and they are going to make an attempt to figure it out. If Chubb and Hunt run over us, it's going to be a long game for the Bills. The LB's need to be held accountable too. It will be interesting to see if a move for Dodsen happens and if Thompson gets some snaps now that he his healthy. Edited November 6, 2019 by BillsRdue 3

CSBill Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Taylor needs more time, if that is less for Star, so be it.

BuffaloBillies Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Star is anything but... Fine, if you're primarily only there to be a space-eater and command attention from 1 or 2 blockers, but at some point you also have to make some plays. I seriously doubt he is getting double-teamed most plays. So when he is one-on-one, he's got to blow his guy up and cause some havoc. Maybe that would make teams double him more. Sunday (vs Wash) he was all turned around multiple times as the RB ran right past him. I re-watched 2 plays in particular and I'm like, "What the hell is Star doing?" He was loafing around in circles during the play - it was baffling.

Coach Tuesday Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 They went heavy against AP. We’ll see what they do as their opponents differ.

Philips stay, possibly in the 7-8 million range. I now think it is going to cost more than that, but my opinion hasn't changed. Edited November 6, 2019 by dollars 2 donuts 2

Taylor isn't going anywhere after 3 tackles in 9 total snaps. Check out Star's tackles after 8 games! Both Taylor & Liuget are veterans with quickness. I see Shaq & Oliver taking a back seat on other than on obvious passing downs.

And so far - with the exception of Peko being let go and people replacing his snaps - nobody's taken over much of anything yet. As usual, people who don't wait for all the facts to come in will come to a lot more erroneous conclusions than those who do. Get it? Edited November 7, 2019 by Thurman#1

Watch the snap counts - - - these are facts! 1
wvbillsfan Posted November 7, 2019 Posted November 7, 2019 I would like to see Taylor get more time. He made a nice play sniffing out the screen. So he’s the first person on our team to do that.
