I don’t ever remember Elam being on the injury report? If memory is correct, then I am calling bs.

It’s not

[Low Positive]

All of these moves are cool, but we can't cut any DTs just yet. Somebody has to play on Sunday night.

I was just told Suh and Ioannidis will both be made official after their physicals. Not sure yet if it will be active roster or PS for them.

True. But if they put Elam on IR that opens 1 spot. And adding the 2nd DT to PS would mean we cut one off there. And that guy would get 3 call ups . Not a big deal. 

 

I know beating Cincinnati is big, but if we can make it through this week and get these bodies in there it will be huge for helping stack wins. 

 

Eventually, I would think at least one of Ford, Settle and Phillips are likely gone.

Nice!  Sounds like Elam to IR could be one corresponding move if they make 1 of them active roster.  Not sure what would be done to get a second active roster spot, should that be the plan.

Maybe:

Elam to IR
Ankou to 53

Another move _________?  

Suh to 53 (or PS)
Loannidis to PS

I think the Douglas trade is a great move, and it's not unusual for the player to take a week off - Byard just did the same thing in Philadelphia.

 

I'm disappointed, however, at the lack of urgency/investment in the interior defensive line.  Most of these guys are heading to retirement whether they like it or not.  Suh is likely the best of the bunch - he did give the Eagles 10 tackles and a sack in 8 games, but that's what Jordan Phillips provides.  (2023 - 8 games, 7 tkl, 1 sack)

I just don't get the mentality of listening to a GM speak, and immediately think "he's trying to trick us!"

Nothing about Ed Oliver's Toe?

Classic beane - defending his draft picks poor play. ANY injury is the first go to defense.

Ed Oliver back

Rasul not being active this week is a bit of a mental blow for me.

 

 

I talked myself in to being ok with him being inactive.  I'm not chalking this game up as a loss, but it's going to be a tough one whether Rasul is in the lineup or not.  If he's not familiar enough with the D, give him a week.  Bring him out for Denver at home.  That might have to be a "get back to winning" game.  If he goes out unprepared at Cinci, just our luck he might end up getting hurt.  This will be a game the Bills O will need to score 34-37 points.

All 3 are overpaid IMO. Would not have brought Phillips back, would have cut Settle, and Poona has been a disappointment. How many vet DTs has he missed on since being our GM? Needs to own his errors. 

I agree with you on his DT misses, but how exactly do you want him to "own his errors" other than he is doing right now when he is looking for someone else?

I thought he played 3-tech for Washington, for a time, and was disruptive.

I'm sure he did at times.

 

In a 4-3 he is a 3 tech. In a 3-4 he is a 5 tech. 

He is not a 1 tech, which is what we need, imo.

Definitely not a true 1, from a run stuffing perspective.  I think he's a good piece to move around up front on passing downs, likely what they're looking for him to help with (interior rush, other than Ed has been poor since losing Jones).

 

Just confirmed he was a 3-tech at Wash, 3 games in 2020 (before injured) and all of 2021.

 

Good depth for this time of year.

They can just use a call up on Ankou this week as well.

I wonder if those two off the couch are better than Settle and Ford who have been getting live game reps.

I thought Ford looked good against the Bucs. Had back to back disruptive plays when Bucs were pinned deep

Keep Personal stuff out of it

 

its a big game for bills and every other player will play but the guy we traded for at a position of the others teams strength (wr)

He needs to learn the finer nuances of playing 10 yards off the receiver on 3rd and 4.

Most teams don't fall to pieces after losing a defensive tackle.  

How about after losing a stud defensive tackle, all pro LB and CB1?
