CNYfan Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 I thought Bowles drafted him because he kind of looked like Bowles. He was a "Defend against the Patriots" pick where it was thought he could keep up with the backs out of the backfield and TE's, I think. Two reasons

Expand no you’re spot on actually. The coaches and front office brought these guys on it is partially on them for being pretty terrible out there.

Doc Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 At least it's trying to do something. Hoping for the best but not expecting much. 1
billsbackto81 Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 I can see him being a spy on particular players that need to be accounted for whether it be a "running" type QB or screen proficient RB. Other than that,.. meh.
JerseyBills Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Very intriguing player. Especially in this scheme. I like the signing.

Expand so PFF could say the same thing with Josh actually like his last year was his best and the Bills are pretty thin at LB Could also say the same things about Jerry Hughes years in Indy .... I'll be reserved and wait to see what transpires and not just throw him in the dog house 1
Lv-Bills Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 If this dude can simply run forward, and then maybe backpedal a few yards......well.......he's already better than Klein.
GreggTX Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 Definitely not a starter, but he's better than AJ Klein by a hair.

Maybe he can turn it around, if we take a chance on him. Expand Not sure about the rest of his game but 3 picks in 12 games for a LB is awesome.
Doc Brown Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 On 10/29/2020 at 9:40 PM, Nextmanup said: You mean the PED infraction, or is there more? Expand Not really. He was playing his best ball before the PED infraction so it makes you wonder. There was an incident at some music fesitval where he got in a verbal fight with his girlfriend and had to be physically restrained. There were also reports of a poor work ethic while with the Jets. Maybe he can turn his career around but I wouldn't hold my breath. 1
BarleyNY Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 Lee is a great athlete, but FWIH he did not put football first and was much more interested in doing some very serious partying. I hope he’s got himself together. I’d love to see what a focused and clean Lee could do in the NFL. There’s probably little risk on the Bills side so I’m sure they can part ways if things aren’t good with him. Fingers crossed that they are. 1
dgrochester55 Posted October 30, 2020 Posted October 30, 2020 I do not know much about Lee and don't expect him to be a star, but a linebacker with starting experience and ability to cover a pass is by default an upgrade over Klein. I like that Buffalo is realizing the need and adding people. Hopefully he can help in a similar way that Corey Liuget did when signed in the mid season last year.
