Rasul Douglas to Bills - per Rap

[HOUSE]

You can learn a lot from a picture

From a friend of mine from the midwest..he's a die hard Packers fan:

 

You're gonna love him! Pack grabbed him off the Eagles practice squad and immediately made an impact. You won't find a CB around with his length, he's pretty quick too.

Going to miss him...INT'd Stafford at a game I was at two seasons ago and it's the loudest I think I've ever heard Lambeau

Pretty much now know who to not take seriously or ignore.

Puts Dane Jackson back on the bench where he belongs

 

All indications are that Douglas was a leader in the locker room also

 

Sounds like a good fit all around

Dane Jackson has been pretty underwhelming. I would guess he finds himself on the bench now.

They got a lot out of him for where they got him in the draft

Love this move!  The guy brings an edge, leadership, ZONE EXPERIENCE and is an instant upgrade to the secondary, all at a reasonable price!

[streetkings01]

How can anyone that watches football not heard of this guy? The name alone was stuck in my head the 1st time I heard it. Good trade!

What makes you say that? He is PFF's 12 graded CB in coverage this year. He's played 100% of defensive snaps for Green Bay this year.

 

 

I don't think he is an upgrade on our starters. Admittedly haven't seen a lot of Green Bay this season, but have seen a lot of Douglas since he came out of that good 2017 draft class. The Eagles ended up cutting him, 3 years after spending a 3rd on him because teams CONSTANTLY targeted him then he bounced around practice squads before sticking in Green Bay. No team in the NFL has misevaluated DBs as consistently as Green Bay in the past decade. 

 

For a 3rd with a 5th coming back I really do not like this. I think he is a better fit in our scheme than Elam but he is a lateral move from Jackson and Benford for me. 

 

Maybe he has suddenly improved a ton and will prove me wrong but man I hate this deal.

Well not to say this guy will be great, but to those laughing at the signing and saying who the hell is that, a LOT of people said that here when they signed Poyer and Hyde

I like it,

Just from reading this thread, I now know which posters to totally blow off in their critique of the Bills.  They clearly do not know much about football likely because they have limited exposure to any team but the Bills.

 

I know!!! I can't believe people didn't know who he was, considering we just played them last season. This is going to be one awkward meeting but I'm pumped Beane did something.

Don't like it, especially not for a 3rd round pick.  Is he even going to start over Benford and Jackson?  

 

That 3rd round pick could be way more important to this team as we will have a lot of holes to fill.  

 

I think if he gets extended and plays well it is good value. If there is a negative it is getting some production out of a third round pick at a third round price or not getting a second year from him. We also never seem to get much value out of rookie contracts. 

 

I have to imagine that one of Benford/Jackson starts next year and this could be more of an indictment on Tre.

He will absolutely start. He is currently the 12-rated CB this season and on a deal that we can easily extend. A pretty damn good commodity versus an unknown 3rd round pick is a good trade-off to me, especially considering we get a 5 back and will likely recoup the 3 as a comp pick from Edmunds 

 

This is EXACTLY the type of player that McD is able to maximize in his scheme...look at what he did with Poyer and Hyde. They were basically the same type of player as Douglas, if not even quite as good.

Was this the dude that was chirping at Allen during the game last year and actually kind of got in his head? 

I think that was Jaire Alexander

I think your way off on the player and the compensation. He struggled early in his career but the last two years Douglas has been really good since getting to GB. He has also started a ton with them even though he was a backup other places. 

 

He may have. But GB are bad at evaluating DBs. I trust him starting there less than him starting in almost any other team.
