In:

• DaQuan Jones
• Tim Settle
• Jordan Phillips

 

That's a lot of turnover! I'm looking forward to seeing how they produce.

I like Phillips and I know Zimmer has potential, but we seriously upgraded this position.

Tre White gone? Dane Jackson?

 

But yeah we need to add a few and will.

maybe because Dane played just as good as Wallace and Tre is back... and they will draft a guy and we have one of the best nickel CB's in. the nfl... and the best safety tandem ... so how do we not have any CB?

Do think Jackson played better than many expected.  Also do think the Bills will draft a CB in the 1st round and will still sign a mid level FA CB in case White isn't ready or close to 100% Sept 1st.  That's the one outlier here not knowing how/when White will be back playing a high level. 

 

But overall agree, we're not in as bad shape as some seem to think.  CB IMO is one of the positions rookies can come in day one and start and more than hold their own.

Tre White will probably miss some games at the beginning of the season.

For sure CB is a big priority right now. But McDermott likes to make it work with value signings and draft picks.

Harry, Zim, Beasley… good thing they kept Kumerow!

It's going to be great not drafting a DT this year.  We will be able to run some VERY heavy sets.  Please NE and Indy, run the ball

[H2o]

You look at what we've done on the interior of this defense. Jones the run stuffing 1-Tech, Settle has some pass rush juice and can play the 1-Tech or 3-Tech, and now we bring back Phillips who got a lot of pressure from the interior as well. Add Von Miller who will HAVE to be accounted for on every play? We are going to EAT opposing QB's this year.

He’s not going to miss any games unless there is a set back. He might be on a pitch count though early on.

 

Again Dane Jackson filled in very well. They need to replace Wallace. I’m pretty sure we’ll see a veteran CB signed soon plus a draft pick or 2.

Pass rushing unit:

 

Miller/Oliver/Phillips/Rousseau

 

Much higher ceiling than previous years' groups.

Dudes, chill. Aside from the fact that 1) we needed a CB going into the draft, and with Wallace leaving we now need 2, and 2) with Tre's knee injury there's no telling when he'll round back into form... the post was meant to be completely tongue-in-cheek... thus the smiley emoji.  (that would be the "I'm now poking fun at you emoji" )

Oh my God did we miss his size in the rotation.  I love this as long as it is cheap.

Jackson did very well imo. He might be able to take Levi's spot maybe. But yeah, still need CB help and we'll see how it goes depending which way Bills approach draft. Not sure they take a CB in first round or WR, but think it will be one of those 2 positions for 1st pick... 

 

Lots can change between now and then though so we'll see.
