Who had that huge whiff on the pass defense on 3rd down?

Odd that he was 3rd guy in at RT though and go no run at LT. 

 

I agree with you based on what we have seen but odd way to play him today if they do think he has the swing job won.

Could have been they wanted to see Anderson against better comp out at Tackle to see if he could handle it. He failed imo

Almost certainly. He got the start at DE over Epenesa today and has looked better than Epenesa in all 3 preseason games IMO.

He's looked pretty bad today.

So regarding linebacker, which is looking to be a serious need and potential problem for the year (outside Milano), is there anyone that is a potential cut we could pick up? I liked Rahsaan Evans coming out of Bama and figured he’d have a reasonable career but is a FA. What’s the deal there? He had a decent year in Atlanta in 2022… wants too much $$$???

Klein

Did we try hard to sign Tranquil? The Bears announcer just said so.

Would like to see Bryant get Ford’s reps. 
 

Doh!

 

I was looking forward to 2023 with enthusiasm partly because I thought we'd be stronger in the trenches.  I thought Art Shell's great nephew, Brandon, was a good safety net at OT.  And I thought Poona would make us stouter against the run.

 

I might have been wrong.

From a Bills perspective he has never played in a scheme like ours. Has always been in a 3-4 base style.

My guess is they are entirely comfortable with him at LT so they decided to just give him some run at RT, rather than make him switch back and forth which is hard to do within a game.

Or was it Cline?

[MikePJ76]

I wonder if baltimore would release or trade malik harrison

[Warriorspikes51]

CBS Sports mentions Patrick Queen and Jerry Hughes among their players who could be traded list

Highly doubt it.  1 yr $3m with Chiefs, as a backup.

 

He's not the answer either.  At this point, we are either looking to make a "splash" trade (unlikely), or just roll with what we got first 4-6 weeks to see if Bernard/Williams show enough improvement.

[HappyDays]

If true, that means we struck out on David, Wagner, and Tranquil. Which left us with nothing but scraps.

we couldn’t have tried that hard. KC got him fairly cheap

Is he playing DE exclusively or are they giving him snaps inside also?

 

I didn't pay close enough attention. I saw one early snap with Rousseau inside. I suspect Rousseau and Basham will both get a decent amount of reps inside.
