ealy got his ass kicked by the winners of the buffalobills.com "get to be a bill for a day" contest


Recommended Posts

seemed to me like he got some decent pressures. keep in mind our starting probowl-caliber defensive tackles were absent the entire game, which allows the offensive line a whole lot more flexibility to negate whatever he brings to the table.

The jury is still out on Ealy. He appeared to me as a little sluggish, as he let Taylor pretty much run away from him every time.  He showed enough promise his rookie year to at least give him a prayer for judgment for 2015.  it's only the first frickin preseason game.

Not every DE can chase down a player like that. Im most concerned that no one could seal the edge tonight. Thats a big concern to me that needs to improve.

tumblr_m2ujfd8H5l1r34z3ro5_400.gifRelax guys. I remember Hardy stinking up the joint during preseason a couple years ago too.

 

... Hardy was a sixth round pick. No comparison there. Ealy gets more flak because of his draft position more than anything.

 

You guys have to remember; Defensive linemen don't flourish in their first two seasons right away. Unless they are just freaks of nature.  Ealy was playing without the starting line up. This is his second year so I don't expect a huge impact from him. Still, it's his second year and first preseason game. I ain't worried.

The thing about Ealy is he has no consistency. He's shown flashes of greatness and then had terrible showings like tonight. It's all a part of players' development, and he's no different. I'm not by any means expecting him to turn into a Hardy but I'm confident he'll be able to contribute to our team meaningfully at some point.

    • He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful 
    • Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here 
    • AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
