Bills signing Quinton Jefferson; Update..AND Jordan Phillips

[Ethan in Cleveland]

If any other team was signing these guys, we would call it desperate and dumpster diving.  Goof thing is they know the system, should be healthy, and really only need to be placeholders until Carter gets back.

Noooo why Jordan Phillips?? I really didn't want to believe it was actually going to happen.

 

@GunnerBill you were right, he has put a hypnotic spell on Brandon Beane.

 

Beane loves him. He just can't quit him.

But I am glad we signed him instead of Phillips.

 

I'm holding you personally responsible.

Can we ever resist overreacting to the bottom of the roster churn? My goodness with some of these takes.

Phillips should only be on the field for passing downs he is aggressive and gets pressure but does not maintain the gaps for run defense

Some of these takes. We seen this ***** before, it doesn’t get us to where we want to be. 

[Bermuda Triangle]

Big Baller Beane!

I don’t like this trend of favoring former Bills players over former Panthers players.  

[MPL]

Maybe we just signed them so we can give their wrists to Cooper, Coleman, and Carter?

the lower roster churn will never get any team where they want to be

So I wasn't completely wrong, just bad timing.

Phillips will make a couple huge plays and then end up on IR.

I wish there was an upgrade for us. But if none was forthcoming, I dont hate we addressed the DT position with people that at least are familiar with the system.  We were getting precariously thin. Plus you know at least one of the two has a wrist or spleen injury in their future LOL

I shop like this on Amazon.

Hard to argue with the 2 moves.  Both know the defense.  Buffalo needed Dline help.  Jefferson used in the Smoot role makes sense to me.  Phillips offers ok depth.  No picks needed to do it. 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

Remember when the Eagles signed Ndamukong Suh and Linval Joseph on the same day to fix their run defense and make a Super Bowl?

 

This is nothing like that.

Quinton Jefferson over Phillips?  Haven’t followed much of either.  Seemed like Jefferson flashed a little with Cleveland when I watched them.  

Both short term 3 tech bandaids, but Jefferson is better than Phillips. Hopefully Ankou gets his snaps with these signings. Carter returning will help.

[Bangarang]

Beane taking the "I've heard of him" thing way too seriously. Who's next? Star Lotulelei?

[gonzo1105]

I realize we only need these guys for a couple of weeks but pretty obvious they don’t have long term faith in Logue or Ankou and might be losing some faith in Jones and/or Johnson.

Doing a pick swap with 2 teams for dline help would have been viewed as Beane and Buffalo going for it.   Similar moves but didn't require capital.  Overall, think it was good business.
