It’s time to trade for an Edge Rusher

[BillMafia716ix]

It’s time for Brandon Beane to dip into that bag and bring an edge rusher to Buffalo. We desperately need a playmaker on the edge. It’s been too long. 
 

Mahomes ability to extend plays hurt us bad. I know we have Rousseau..but with Jerry Hughes aging. They need a player that the offense has to account for every snap. Right now we don’t have that guy. 

[JMF2006]

The two best will be gone in the first 3 picks and no one is trading those picks.

[JohnBonhamRocks]

Agreed. Need that playmaking, gamechanging, plan around him kind of guy.

 

What gives me hope is Beane keeps drafting DEs high & went after the likes of JJ Watt. 

[RyanC883]

1.  Yes.  

 

2.  Don't let him try to draft one.  That failed in amazing fashion.  

 

3.  Why didn't he trade for Von Miller?  That would have made a huge difference last night. But Bean stood pat, and should have to answer for it.  

 

Some good FAs out there (Chandler Jones) that would improve this unit.  Draft a 1T, and this DL could be almost very good if Rousseau improves.  

[Magox]

After watching Von Miller bear down and harass Brady all day yesterday, I came to the same conclusion.   The Rams have a type of defense that could give the Chiefs more problems than most others.   Their ability to get to the QB is one of their strengths and the way Miller is playing now he changes how effective they are.

 

There are a few good Edge Rushers to be had, Chandler Jones and both Von Miller are UFA's, these two should be heavily considered.

[ALLEN1QB]

Seemed like our defenders continually pressured from the left & right and allowed Mahomes to have the middle of the field.

I hope he stops just drafting random guys like Basham.  I'm fine with Groot, he has elite talent but he is a tall dude and pass rushers have a lot of room to block him.

Don't worry, Hassan Reddick is available. Carolina connection 😎

that's why we need to trade/get on in FA.

Mahomes was an extraordinary talent yesterday, suck it up and give credit where it is due.

 

 

 

If we had this mythical  great Edge Rushers it wouldn't have made much difference, Mahomes is too quick and too slippery, he was a magician running.  He got away multiple times and would have gotten away regardless.

 

And now we all got a little taste of what it is like for other teams to face Allen.

Can we afford that?

 

Why not see what Groot can do next year?

Wait so what don’t you like about Basham?

They came so close all night he must have felt their breath on his neck  

 

That guy is as slippery as a greased pig.

He wouldn't be a bad pick up at all.  Reddick can get after the QB

Yes, if anything too often our edge rushers got the pressure and were too far behind the line of scrimmage to catch up to Mahomes.  That one long run he had in their first drive is an excellent example of that, if anything we over pursued, the middle of the feild was comically wide open..

[Yobogoya!]

It's interesting how hesitant Beane has been to add established talent to put the team over the top for a SB. 

 

Contrast that with teams like the Rams, Cardinals, and of course the Chiefs. Not saying we need to be as aggressive at burning picks and cap as the Rams are, but we've spent multiple high picks on our pass rush and it's still as inadequate as it was last year. 

 

We need at least one game-changer at edge and we needed it yesterday. 

[Coach Tuesday]

Beane elected to sit on his hands and trusted his coaches to get the most out of the players he'd drafted and signed.

 

That didn't work.

 

The two teams that will represent in the Super Bowl (Rams and Chiefs) were aggressive and it paid off.  Chiefs acquired Orlando Brown via a draft weekend trade and then made an in-season trade for Melvin Ingram who added a spark to their defense (and allowed Jones to kick back inside).  Rams - well, you all know what they've done.

 

Beane and McDermott have done a neat little job taking a downtrodden team and raising expectations.  Now it's time to stop running it like a car dealership and make winning a Super Bowl the ONLY goal.

what do you like about Basham.  He did nothing this year, and was picked instead of players like Creed Humphry (all pro OL).  Forgot about Epenesea also, horrid pick.

1.  we can afford it.  

 

2.  we said the same thing about AJ last year.  Let's see what he does.  Did nothing.  Hope is not a strategy for winning.

100% we need a real pass rusher.  our d line rotation killed us.

 

the athletic pointed out we had our top line (addison, houghs, oliver and i think star) and held them to some incompletes, then we stuffed in our 2nd line (groot, aj, phillips and obadabadoo) and let up the long hill TD.  we have too much money spread too far out, we simply need some playmakers, and our only play maker on D had a torn acl this season.

 

our d scheme and construction needs an overhaul.  the good thing is altho we will lsoe our 1st ranking, it's for jack since we get trucked when it matters.
