Penfield45 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 good riddance on trent murphy they might be right in the dline is rotating too often and guys aren't getting in rhythm or have enough reps to make an impact
par73 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Murphy is horrible. I'm thinking Phillips hasn't fully recovered from the knee injury.
Penfield45 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 We need to replace both DE's next season. Draft a guy round 1 or 2 and sign 2 other FA's or make a trade. an elite LB and pass rusher is what this defense needs.

Murphy is a JAG rotational player, I am fine with dumping him and giving his snaps to other players or just having the other guys in front of him play more. As far as Phillips I think his injury is hampering him. Phillips was a beast the first 5 games of the season. Once he got hurt the run defense began its horrid stretch of play and I think the two are at least somewhat related last season. I am OK with benching both and promoting/activating other younger players. Phillips might need a week off and Murphy you probably should just cut.
blacklabel Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Sheesh, some of y'all "fans" that really "love" this team sure have a lot of disparaging things to say about other human beings that are infinitely more athletically gifted than anyone posting here. I see crap like "worthless" or "waste of space/money" or "absolutely awful" or "putrid" or whatever other colorful terms you Rhodes scholars can come up with. It's one thing to criticize a guy and just say, "Yeah, he hasn't been playing very well" but the insults are just bullcrap, grow up. 4

Go Bills!!! I never claimed to know anything about sports injury but if the defense of Harrison is "well he was injured 13 months ago, he may never get better!" then yeah we should probably be looking elsewhere.

babulator Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 Hindsight is obviously 20/20 but given what we invested in our D Line this past off season it looks we should have made a better effort to keep Jordan and Shaq. Neither one of them broke the bank and we could have made some wiggle room with releasing Trent etc etc. I'm not saying they were world beaters but, they were better and were also vocal locker room leaders. I didn't cry about these moves at the time but perhaps I should have. 😔

Draft a guy round 1 or 2 and sign 2 other FA's or make a trade. an elite LB and pass rusher is what this defense needs. Looking at the D-line I can definitely say that DE is a pressing need. As far as DT goes I think getting Star back and dumping Butler would help and maybe the team can get Phillips back to full strength. As far as DE, Murphy is as good as gone and I think they will ask Hughes (barring a better performance the rest of the season) to take a pay cut. I would still want Hughes on the team for one more season as a rotational player and for the locker room but he will have to take a pay cut as he just isn't worth what he is owed next season. I like what Addision has brought as a supplemental pass rusher, he just can't be the sole main pass rusher on the team, he is roughly on pace for 7.5 sacks. The way I look at the D-line next season. Definitely brining back - Ed Oliver, Star, Jefferson, Addision, and AJ Not retained - Butler and Murphy Retained if a pay cut is taken - Hughes Retained but on the bubble - Phillips and Johnson That's about 5 players who are firmly back on the line in some role whereas there are 2-3 more who will be on the bubble or asked to take a pay cut.

Fans will be fans, but the lack of feel is comical. Sometimes I feel like I come here more for a laugh from the hot takes of former JV HS football players with no concept of the day to day in professional sports. 1

I didn't cry about these moves at the time but perhaps I should have. 😔 Honestly the players they brought in to replace Jordan and Shaq aren't the issue (Addision and Jefferson) and Shaq and Jordan aren't having great seasons in their new teams either. The issue is age is catching up to Hughes, Henry hasn't been good (seems to me like he hasn't recovered from his injury), Butler has stunk and Ed Oliver hasn't taken that next step up just yet. It's more so on the existing players than on the guys that replaced Shaq and Jordan Phillips in my opinion. 1
bills6969 Posted October 19, 2020 Posted October 19, 2020 I suspect Addison starts at DE tonight and Epenesa sees a lot of the playing time. 1
