This Defense needs a proper 1 Technique Guy

[RocCityRoller]

We had Liguet and Star last year. Big ugly's at the 1.

 

Oliver, Phillips, Jefferson are good options at 3 technique.

 

I think people dismiss Liuget's contributions last year. He provided a rotation to keep Star fresh, and the run D was better after he was signed.

 

This year we are light at DT this year. We need a few 'big uglies' added to DT. Liguet and or 'Snacks' anyone?

 

The last I knew Liuget is on the Texans PC. Snacks is unsigned.

Their run fits were better today. Seems communication and execution are off. Im not really concerned about the defense. That said I would love if they signed Snacks.

I would try and roll with Oliver with Jefferson as much as possible over Butler and Phillips. Switch Klein's snaps with Dodson's. Bring up Dane Jackson to fill in for the loss of Levi Wallace. And just keep grinding this week. Though I'm not opposed to bringing in a Snacks Harrison - it's a lot to ask of someone to come in cold, learn the defense, and produce 5 games into the season.

Wouldn't Cam Lewis come ahead of Jackson as it was last week?

I thought the run defense was fine. Jacobs is a super talented back and we somewhat contained him.

I believe I read once practiced squaded, called up, released, and brought back to the practice squad - he forefeits his eligibility for a second game called up.

With Snacks there must be some reason why he is unsigned.  
 

I saw that Vincent Taylor was playing with the Browns.  Taylor would seriously have been a good candidate for 1 technique.

 

I do wonder if the team makes a move at the trade deadline

The rule reads that a PS player can be elevated to the active roster 2X without having to expose him to waivers.  But, the Bills promoted him to the 53 and then did waive him so maybe he is reset back to the promoted 2X rule?

Nope, found the tweet I was referring to. Cam Lewis is ineligible to be promoted, unless straight to the 53.

 

... which, in retrospect, may be the case as Levi moving to IR for at least 3 weeks is very likely.

Thought Harrison Phillips had his best game of the season today.  He is undersized for the position but has traditionally been a 1 tech here.   Bottom line is Star meant a lot to this team.  Now we know.

I also thought it was Phillips's best game and he needed it. I also thought Ed Oliver played the run really nicely yesterday.

 

I honestly think yesterday linebacker was the biggest issue with the D. Carr did a lot of hard play action causing Edmunds to bite and it hurt us. Oh and AJ Klein is less mobile than my grandad and he has been dead 2 years

It was fine.  That said, it’s easy to key the run when the opposition has Zay Jones on the field

It was like they schemed to get it to Zay a lot in their script - like Gruden trying to help him make a point.... but he was pretty much a non factor after the scripted plays.

Star is not any good, I read it here by many posters.....😜

I get it, but this is not the week for this.  The run defense was fine today - held Jacobs to very pedestrian numbers.

 

They seem to be more interested in allowing the defense to work it out.

Luiget came in cold and was solid last year. Jordan Phillips came in from Miami and played well pretty quick. 
 

What does he have to really learn? Plug these two gaps. I don’t think it takes a long time to learn how to do that especially when he’s been doing it his whole career.

Vernon Butler is coming on, looked good yesterday.
