This should be an interesting debate… which player on the dline is best?

37Mario Williams0%14Jerry Hughes0%4Marcel Dareus0%15Kyle Williams0%4The poll is expired.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

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.Comment

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.Originally posted by SpikedLemonade View PostLehner's history. He just doesn't know it yet.Comment

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.Comment

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.YardRat Wall of Fame

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.Comment

Everyone talks about Mario's pass rush, but what is overlooked is Mario's ability to set the edge against the run.Originally posted by cookie G View Post
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.Comment

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!

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.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.
Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.
The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
"I was an integral part in the drafting process of EJ Manuel," Whaley said Thursday on NFL Network's Total Access. "I was the person that handled the draft process and setting up the board."
"We are committed. I want you to believe me when I say that," Whaley said of building around the second-year quarterback, per The Buffalo News. "I always tell you guys that I'll never say never because I don't want to paint myself in a corner, but when I do say something, I do it and I mean it and I try to fulfill it."
"We believe the addition of Sammy is going to be instant impact, not only to our quarterback, but to what our offensive coordinator can come up with game-plan wise and how defenses attack us," Whaley said.
Whaley on EJ Manuel: "We think we got a gem in this guy." (2:30)
"And as Mark says, if in three years maybe he's not [our quarterback of the future], then I'll be sitting there saying 'hey guys', .... anybody got a job for me?" - Doug Whaley

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.YardRat Wall of Fame
