Nicknamed phlegm

After reading a ton of posts here I did not see anyone say he had 3 blocked kicks last year. 

 

Versatile, athletic, high motor and smart.

 

Looks like a great add....

I don’t think there is a huge splash to come

 

free agency is thin on impact at this point. 30th isn’t usually an immediate impact pass rusher. 
 

A trade or cap casualty yet to come?

19 hours later. Yea . Beane aint doin nuthin big in FA.

 But he must be holding some cards , or one ace up the sleeve 🙄

Hey !

 Fit form and function.
But yes it seems that McDs defensive stylings need particular types of players. And that hasnt been as effective as any of us would like.

I'm sorry, but after living through two decades of mostly incompetence, this Bills era is awesome. I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth just because McD can't beat the Chiefs in the playoffs but can beat everyone else. I'm not going to want the Bills to pull an Eagles and can an Andy Reid-like coach because six straight double digit win seasons and five straight division titles are completely unacceptable. How many Buffalo Bills coaches have ever done that? NOBODY. You can't blame McD for the lack of a pass rush when we don't have the players to make that happen.

He already told you he wasn't doing anything big..

[harmonkillebrew]

So what's the consensus on Hoecht's role?  Stating DE? pass rush specialist? sub package Swiss army knife?

 

Any chance he pushes AJ for a starting spot?

Brings to mind the old saying “Jack of all trades, master of none” … therefore:  meh

Gotta be better than what we rolled with in ‘24, so I’m stoked 🤓

Will we go 3 for 3 on Chargers and land Asante Samuel jr?

[MrEpsYtown]

should fit in well

[JoshAllin]

Looks like he could play the motivator role on defense with his high energy playing style there and with von gone
