1. Dareus
2. Williams
3. Hughes
4. Fool's Gold
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
We will resign Dareus this off-season but I suspect some other team will pay Hughes well over $10M per year for many years.
His days in Buffalo are numbered.

Why can't we be that team? Who knows? Maybe he's one of those guys that appreciates their treatment by the franchise and the fans. We have as big a wallet now as anyone. I wouldn't mess with this lines chemistry for all the tea in China.
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
Mario is playing the best right now.
Who's the best over all? It's hard to say. Who makes who? Do the inside guys make the outside guys better or vice versa?
If I had to pick one that was irreplaceable, it would be Mario at this point.

Why would the Bills not be willing to pay Hughes?
You also thought the Bills would move to Toronto.
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
The thing that makes this unit so special is they take turns being 'the best'...that's why they can dominate. Take out Mario? Hughes will eat you up. Take out the ends? K.Williams and Dareus will crush up the middle. Use three, four guys on K.Williams and Marcel? The ends will bust asses. They really are fun to watch.
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
Dareus.
He's the best run defender and may be the best pass rusher (or 2nd to Hughes).
People praise Mario for beating a double team last night, and rightfully so (though Jace Amaro's effort was severely lacking), but most of Dareus' sacks this year have come off double teams.
I love watching Jerry Hughes pass rush, especially his outside in move. I still can't believe we got him so cheap.

Everyone talks about Mario's pass rush, but what is overlooked is Mario's ability to set the edge against the run.
Mario is a GOOD run defender, he is not a one trick pony. IMO, Mario is the best defensive player by far & he makes everyone around him better just by being on the field.
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
I have Dareus at 1A and Mario at 1B. Hughes is becoming a stud and Kyle, while still strong is showing signs of wear and tear. Still a beast though!

Agreed
Cap space isn't an issue, the DL is solid. Dareus seems to have matured this season mentally. Throw kiko back into the mix and get another impact LB and we'll have a tight front 7.
It would be just like our FO to **** up the chemistry though. Hopefully we'll have at least new leadership in the FO.
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
It's all going to depend on how much more real money Pegs is going to want to invest, especially in Hughes. And, as far as LBers, if Spikes is re-signed I don't see any need for another 'impact' 'backer, just getting Kiko back will put that unit on par with the defensive line. Quite an accomplishment by the young GM turning one of the weakest units on the team into one of the deepest in such a short period of time, IMO.
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
1) Hughes
2) Darius
3) K Williams
4) M Williams
understand i just put two probowlers at the bottom of the list. this d-line has been THAT good this year. best front 4 in football this year, hands down. and we're gonna waste it on another .500 or worse season.

hughes was a bust for the colts a homerun for us a perfect fit i hope he realizes that and thanks us for saving his career with a reasonable and fair deal to both sides
Re: Who is the best defensive player on the line?
Hughes
Dareus
M. Williams
K. Williams
But without K. Williams playing excellent at his given position, Jerry Hughes doesn't excel like he does.
